The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,
not because the voters want them to,
not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…
they are caving because their DONORS want them to.
And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

100% agree
Zohran Mamdani says that he doesn't believe billionaires should exist in an interview with 'Meet the Press.'
"Frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country."

One of my biggest disappointments in American discourse over the past decade has been the mainstream media.
With very few exceptions, they have failed the American people miserably.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.
One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.
