Chuck Schumer is why Dems keep losing elections. He is old school, out of touch with his voters, he’s not a fighter and he doesn’t represent our majority anymore.

The word "keep" implies there's been a fight. This was surrender.

All this, and you got nothing of value. No guarantees for Americans depending on us. Just a worthless IOU that will evaporate the moment you try to cash it in.

Might as well tell Americans "we tried nothing and we're out of ideas."

The leader of the opposition party is supposed to ensure that the opposition speaks with a unified message.

Chuck Schumer failed yet again at that. Why is he still in his role?

Most of y’all are old enough to remember but it bears repeating, Democrats couldn’t peel off a single member of the Republican caucus in the initial fight to enact the ACA, even after they watered down the plans to attract them.

Republicans got 8 Democrats in what’s essentially a vote to repeal.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

As someone who's involved in Democratic politics on the local level, I feel like it'd be malpractice if I didn't say something about this "deal" on the public record:

Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Buckling for someone's *word* that a *Senate vote* will happen... Why? It's worthless.

Dear Senate Dems,

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.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was *not* about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

This chart is absolutely essential.

It explains why Trump removed America from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018.

Because it was *working*.

Trump needed a cause for war, so he manufactured it. This has all been in the works for some time now. He was never "weighing options."

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

also Trump didn't "jump at the chance," he invented the thing.
I dislike this framing because it leaves aside the unprecedented, unlawful nature of his actions, focuses on the “showdown” he wants.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Trump’s executive action targeting ActBlue is a “brazen attack on democracy in America."

Beware the erosion of the traditional separation between the White House and the Department of Justice.
