Sounds good, Chuck. You should talk to the minority leader about why his weak leadership led to this.

These are democrats who voted for the ban without a single public debate. I don’t remember any other democrat mentioning it before it was signed into law.

Aw, bless your heart. I’ve voted straight dem in every election, including every special election, for over twenty years. So I’m not sure what you’re referring to. But like most trolls, name calling and false accusations are typical.
I hope you have the day you deserve.

Good morning, troll. Where does it say that in the message I replied to?
It doesn’t. You have the day you deserve!

I hope the Iowa Republicans are forward thinking enough to understand that the 2026 elections don't look great for them because of their pushing of unpopular policies. There will be no room for course correction if they pull the same stunts again in this legislative session.

Completely agree that it will change. But it won't change "immediately".

So what are the options, Dan? Surely just wringing our hands isn't the only response. Is there any option with a republican lead congress? How can we get this before the courts?

That looks like a big blue wave heading your way, GOP…

This is rich, coming from the guy who caved in November.
If you can't be expected to fight to lower insurance premiums, where do you find the nerve to expect someone else to?

They were demanding YOU fight back in November. But you caved. You gave up.
And now you're accusing the republicans of not listening?
You did this, dick.

Well it's a good thing you prevented them from ... oh wait, you caved. You gave up the fight and then, to add insult to injury, allowed the addition of language that ends the 7 year Hemp industry, decimating 300K jobs.
Oh, and you voted to give GOP senators $1M each.
How did you decide that?

Your ineffectiveness led to this. You are also to blame. You should step down as minority leader.

This should never have been allowed into the bill without debate/discussion. But these 8 senate dems willingly signed onto it.

House republicans needn’t worry. Thanks to these 8 and the weak leadership of @schumer.senate.gov, @democrats.senate.gov took the blame while guaranteeing healthcare premiums will rise, decimating the 300k worker hemp industry without a single debate, and giving $1M to GOP senators.
We’re pissed.

Amy, 8 dem senators gave up on ACA credits. Deal with them and the failed leadership of @schumer.senate.gov if you want us to believe you. Some of us are pissed and don’t subscribe to the weak “well they’re better than republicans!” B.S.

Were you proud to allow millions of Americans to lose their healthcare, due to your willingness to cave to the republicans? How about the 300,000 workers who make up the 7 year old hemp industry that you just decimated with that bill that you didn't read?

Your failed leadership led to 8 dems voting to reopen the government without any progress on this, despite your rhetoric assuring us that you wouldn't. Much like the spring when you also caved.
You won't step down because you have a trump sized ego. And we're paying the price.

@schumer.senate.gov has been an incredible disappointment, especially in his refusal to read the room and step down. And we're all suffering because of it.
