Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Resign now. You are arrogant, incompetent and do not have the measure or mettle of your constituents. We will continue to fight and endure while you will chatter and capitulate

CNN: The head of the House Progressive Caucus called this a betrayal...Can you respond to that?

Shaheen: That [ACA tax credits extension] was my first legislation this year, and I intend to continue to fight...They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible.

Hearing from more people after this went out.

"We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."
I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.

"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

Do not vote into office people who literally do not understand how negotiations work

What an utter embarrassment Shaheen is to the entire state of New Hampshire

You’re a liar, no negotiator and a fool. You have guaranteed people will die without health insurance, handed MAGA a victory and expect us to believe you.
We don’t. Resign now, don’t wait. Spare us anymore suffering from your poor judgement.
I voted tonight to reopen the government and take action to protect health care for tens of millions of Americans. Here’s why:

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Consistently unsurprised by the arrogance and hubris of NHs Democrat Senators.

They should change parties.

Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:

—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan
November 10, 2025 at 1:47 AM
It is worse than promised.
Or maybe Senate Democrats are aware of how pissed off voters will be?

This alleged deal guarantees a BILLION dollars in spending for security and police at the Capitol, and then a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that will surely lose.

Not sure a billion will even be enough but OK.

Just left this message for Shaheen and Hassan and they "always" do what I ask them to do....

Not everyone uses 5 Call, but there are so many more of us here and they have not understood the message yet.

Call Hassan and Shaheen. Tell them to hold firm against any
any deal that does not extend the ACA tax credits, reverse federal worker layoffs, and block illegal budget cuts.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

One thing I have marveled at is the way that crowds have been disciplined in capturing immigration enforcement’s lack of discipline.
Chaos erupted in Little Village.

💸 $100MM of our tax dollars are leaving public classrooms this year — diverted to private and religious schools. This is the result of fiscally irresponsible legislation from the Free State movement and Liberty Alliance, signed by Governor Kelly Ayotte.
