if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

SOURCES: The Epstein Files ARE Worse Than Previously Thought
I reached out to sources that reviewed the files after David Shuster reported that republicans in the House are panicking. This is about what I learned.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

This is exactly correct.
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

If this week has taught us anything, it's that passionate people can defeat machines designed to break us. Don't look at the Dem Party as a completed institution, but one that is ready for change. We can take it and force it to work for us, which is happening now. Be a part of that and be loud.

Truth. Yet Schumer pledges: "We will keep fighting." No.
We fought and won battles for them on Tuesday, only to be betrayed on Sunday.
We the people (and some of us a lot more than others) are tired of being betrayed by corporations, media, and the representatives who don't represent us.

Not to mention, this:
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
