After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.

And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.

The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.

They are going to absolutely EXHAUST their partisans again "fighting" in December for ACA subsidies that Johnson has basically already said are dead cuz he won't bring them up for a vote. MEANWHILE you are supposed to trust these MFing Democratic Senators to do what, exactly???? MESSAGE WELL, LOL

And all of them involve rate hikes of 2-300% and make the prices unaffordable.
These people are a joke.

This isn’t a deal. It’s a betrayal.

Gen Z won’t forget which Democrats made a big show of “standing up for healthcare” only to sell us out at their earliest convenience.

They're treating Trump illegally firing federal employees like it's leverage, not a criminal act.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

He had better hope it passes when they "get" to vote on it then, otherwise this is a $1000-$2000 tax increase on Americans. Maybe they should phrase it that was to Republicans since they think all taxes are bad. I can swing $200-$300 a month. $1400-$1600 is what I'm looking at in CA w/o subsidies.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

@democrats.senate.gov HOLD THE LINE. The suffering people have already been through will be for nothing if you cave now, especially if you don’t get anything for it.
We will primary and vote out all of you cowards who couldn’t stand up even after last Tuesday’s results clearly say we want you to.

@schumer.senate.gov hold the effing line. Hold the line.
This shutdown and all the suffering people have been through will
Be for nothing if you don’t fight.
And, if you don’t hold the line, we’ll primary you and oust you as soon as humanly possible.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.

Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.
