AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Dems have a real future in generational talents like AOC and now Mamdani.

But instead of seizing on them, party leaders poo poo their ideas and damn them with faint praise about how they’ve energized young people *where they are* but aren’t really a model for anywhere else.

GOP doesn’t do this.

8 Democratic-caucus senators sold us out by voting with the Republicans.

None of this could’ve happened without Chuck Schumer agreeing to it.

Schumer is also letting this little measure in the CR slide through. 👇👇
🧵Did you hear?

Tucked into the CR is a measure that would allow 8 Republican senators to sue the US govt for $500k each over Jack Smith investigating them for Jan 6 & searching their phone records.

A measure that would pay them half a million dollars each for breaking the law.

Nah…just look at the donors.
Trump officials are planning to propose oil drilling off the California coast for the first time in decades, according to a draft map reviewed by The Post.

The move is sure to antagonize Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in California.

time for folks to step aside - right now - not end of term

Dems need new leadership and generational change
Americans are enraged, and they want fighters: an opposition party that communicates that they share and understand that rage. The Senate Democrats showed Sunday that they still don’t get that, and it’s not clear that some of them ever will. trib.al/mZfi6Qw

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

What an idiot.
Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

November 10, 2025 at 3:01 AM
Folks should not give another penny to the Democratic Party. Schumer must step down and make way for someone capable of leading.

#SchumerMustGo
Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

@hassan.senate.gov shame on you for being a damn fool

It’s hard to believe there are such naive people in the senate
Hassan: My vote was to do two things: 1) Make sure the government is functioning… 2) continue the fight to a realistic platform to get the premium tax cuts done. If that is not successful, then shame on the Republican Party and shame on Donald Trump.
November 10, 2025 at 2:48 AM
@schumer.senate.gov must resign his post in leadership and make way for someone who can actually lead the caucus
Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment

Republicans are going to laugh at Democrats and do nothing on healthcare. They will continue helping Trump fulfill Project 2025.

Dems learn nothing.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

listen to your voters who showed up en masse on tuesday because we can just as easily primary all who cave
#NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation
In March, after Schumer last surrendered, we called an emergency meeting of Indivisible leaders. 92% told us to call on him to step down from leadership (which we did).

In a poll over this weekend, 98.67% said we should keep up the fight.

Rank & file Dems are going to be PISSED!
Either way, so many Dems... the bulk of the Senate caucus, House leadership, governors, etc.,... all quickly throwing down the gauntlet with such open unrestrained attacks on any Dems who cave is new. It wasn't like that in March, not nearly as loud and widespread and immediate, much more base-only.

not a damn penny and count on every Dem who caves to be primaried
Have R senators? (Like me?) Call Schumer’s office to tell him you will never donate to another D senate campaign again as long as he’s Senate leader. Tell him this deal is a shameful joke and a betrayal.

(202) 224-6542
I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my life’s mission to make sure there’s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, it’s fucking embarrassing.
November 9, 2025 at 11:35 PM
hey @kenmartin.bsky.social - please call these people and let them know there will be a major boycott of donations to the party if they cave. @schumer.senate.gov - show some leadership

Americans can’t afford this deal.

Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.

A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.

once again CHUCK SCHUMER and senate Dems - DO NOT CAVE!!

JEANNE SHAHEEN - you know better too

Republican's word is worth nothing - any idiot should know this by now.

@schumer.senate.gov - don't expect to flip anything if this happens
