There's one central rule in working against autocrats - if they see you as weak, if you attempt to appease, you are creating a permission structure for them to escalate, to take more.
Ds are strong right now, and he is weak. We need to use our strength to get more for the American people, not less

With our big election win last week, and Trump's clear political and physical decline, Dems should be more ambitious now, and fight even harder, for the country and the American people. Voters saw us fighting for them & we were rewarded across the country 👇

They already only work 22 weeks/year for full salary, the Republicans just gave themselves a 4 week (and counting) - 26 weeks, half a year with pay! while so many are struggling to feed children & the elderly, working 2 jobs and hoping they will still have health coverage
I’m in Washington working to reopen the government, protect health care, and prevent a surge in costs by extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits.
Without action, millions of Americans, including many in our communities, could see their health care costs skyrocket by more than $1,500 a month.

But Republicans have decided that supporting our entrepreneurs and protecting their access to affordable health care is an afterthought in their pursuit of cruel, misguided policies. [1/2]
