I’m upset about the cave.
But ppl were calling the Senators to end the shutdown. They didn’t just cave on their own. Federal workers don’t need ACA.
Nevada federal workers wanted the shutdown to end. They advocated.

No one is shocked. But it was constituents pushing senators. Federal workers were in pain. Remember that they don’t need ACA, they have gov healthcare. But many are on SNAP.
This is from Nevada, their 2 senators caved.
GOP couldn’t care less about federal workers or hungry kids.

There are many that could be minority leader - Chris Van Hollen, Chris Murphy, Patty Murray etc etc.
Yeah does come on Jan 2026? Do Dems have a plan? They just kicked the can down the road.
The filibuster is decided by the GOP - they break it they own it.

Thank you. We can help too with the message. I'm trying to message better.
I think ppl will die in the next year. The rates are outrageous and ppl will drop insurance and cross their fingers. They won't go to the hospital until they are really sick and some will die.

I am a constituent and thank you for voting no.
When people can't afford ACA bc of expiring tax credits, it rebounds on all of us. Employer based insurance will increase rates bc the pool of ppl is smaller. Hospitals see sicker ppl and increased costs. We all will feel this. We can't go back.

I know you are focused on 2026 elections. I'm worried about the 300+ days until . Babies have died from measles and whooping cough already. More will die as outbreaks grow. More ppl will be kidnapped by ICE, many have died.
Do you have any actions elected Dems can do now to mitigate?

Appreciate your writing and your response yesterday. Also the substack today that we overcome but not dismiss disappointment. Appeasement does escalate.
Dems did do what they did bc they can't stomach suffering. GOP now has a cudgel, and how can Dems realistically manuever?

I agree and thank you for sharing your story.
But as well, the blame is on GOP Senators and House Reps who don't care whether ppl can afford health care. They would rather tear down ACA than extend credits for 1 year. They were willing to starve ppl by shutting down SNAP.

They don't know but I think this showed them.
But there's still a country to run --- how do we go through the next year with GOP in control in all 3 branches and SCOTUS, and who are willing to kill us?
What is the plan? Is there a plan? Just work towards midterms? I don't know.

And neither does any GOP in congress. The question is, how do you negotiate with this? How do you maneuver with people who don't care about any of the pain and suffering their actions cause?
Dems are not in an easy position. But leaders has to have a plan.

I replied to Nicole Snark to just be like, be kind. Don't have to take things out on each other. And Nicole Snark blocked me. I don't know if she blocked you. I just don't understand.
Why take things out on each other? Why mock people? We can support Dems and ask for better leadership.

Johnson thinks he can cancel out Rep Grijalva's vote if the GOP rep wins. Please TN 07, you could make his life so much harder.
👀 “Hey Matt, Aftyn says Speaker Johnson’s plan is to stall seating @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social until you cancel out her vote to the release the Epstein files. Is that true?”
We bumped into Matt Van Epps at BNA ✈️- He again stayed silent 🤐when we asked about what @aftynbehn.bsky.social told us🤷🏼♀️

TN deserves better than all the corrupt GOP electeds.
Wow — Casada wasn’t the only Tennessee Republican getting a Trump pardon. @RepHarshbarger got him to pardon her health care fraud husband too.
Kelsey, Casada, Harshbarger… Tennessee Republicans working those pardons hard.
The law no longer applies to them in the Trump era.

It's been less than 2 full days since this happened and people are still processing. The way it went down was the issue. On a Sunday night with no warning.
Senate Dems could have given 1 day notice and say GOP are not budging bc they are cruel, we are not, we can't see our ppl suffering anymore.

Agree or disagree with primary focus, that's a personal call.
But we are all in this together.
We are all stressed, many can't talk about this at work, many are not thinking straight. I also need to better about commenting effectively.
