Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Either it's performance or he's completely weak and can't control his caucus. I'm...starting to think it's the latter. Holy yikes.
Schumer: "I must vote no. I can not, in good faith, support this CR. ... Make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this pain on them."
He stops short of urging his colleagues to vote "no."

This is devastating to so many Americans who can already barely afford healthcare. Even if you don't use ACA, not having those extra people means we all pay more.
We are truly alone as a people. As long as the rich get richer, nothing will change and suffering will continue

BREAKING: Republicans and about 10 Democratic senators have reached a deal to reopen the government without the ACA tax credit extension Democrats wanted.
Chuck Schuker says he will vote NO on the deal

This reminds me of something a different rep said...about how so many of these people are completely normal when the cameras are off. It just makes it hard to know what's an act and what's not, but it's always disingenuous either way
Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Oh I think Korea has some pretty big objections to that as well
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."
