🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something.
I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable.
Let me show you why:

I knew that the 2024 election was stolen. I had heard from several different sources about the corruption going on with the voting system vendors, the so-called compliance labs, and the EAC. 1/2

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

It’s just plain stupid to encourage our most experienced controllers to quit, given the job’s rigorous training requirements and the shortage of controllers.
We should be trying to retain our most experienced controllers, not slandering them and pushing them to leave their careers early.

Poll: Trump Is Not Delivering on Foreign Policy - The American Prospect
Overall, Americans are not pleased with President Trump’s performance on foreign policy: 50 percent grade him as “poor” against 37 percent as “good,” and on a range of foreign-policy topics, he is only above water on stopping “international drug trafficking.”

Tariffs Are Hurting the People They’re Meant to Help
The recent trade truce struck between the US and China is welcome news, but it will hardly erase the damage tariffs are still inflicting on American consumers and workers, including two groups who have strongly backed the president: farmers and factory workers.

Millions of Americans are going to be destroyed by their insurance costs, at best, or lose their insurance and possibly die at worst. And millions more every year of Trump's term due to Trump's bill. This has never happened in American history, and I don't think anyone can predict what happens next.
A deal that does nothing to lower costs does not serve my constituents and it is not what the American people want. They need relief ASAP.
