Because this is a brand-destroying action by Senate Dems.
Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

Johnson isn’t going to have any such vote.

The eight spineless Democrats got conned, yet again.

Markey- "This is a mistake that wil come back to haunt the Republicans at the ballot box next year." I think you could safely substititue Democrats and still be true.

I think a rugby game between the two parties would be a satisfying way to deal with the current state of US politics right now.

Democrats are explicity complicit. Period.

Seriously? F him. No one else is sleeping.
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

His word is worthless
Man, this Thune guy sounds like a real piece of shit. I sure hope the Democrats didn't rely on promises from HIM to decide to vote for this atrocity. /s

I actually campaigned for Angus and now- I am just so freaking disgusted with him and all he said he stands for. I have no hope.
In both 2026 and 2030 I'm voting NO KINGS. #mepolitics

Also, please know that I will never reach out to anyone I don't know, let alone using a private number.

Most importantly, I would never ask for money from anyone via WhatApp or any private messaging service.

We do not know how this has happened but my team is investigating as we speak.

Thanks.

F*** them all at this point. Seriously.
This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start.

“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”

Nope.

We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.

You work for us.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Shaheen on Fox & Friends: "I believe there are number of Republicans who are gonna join us in trying to address healthcare costs ... we are gonna be able to continue to right about healthcare because we're gonna have a vote in December."

@senangusking.bsky.social Same. And Independents/unenrolled (like me) as well....
Every single last Democrat I know is pissed. And I know a lot of Democrats.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Congrats to the eight Democrats who gave this regime a huge win over the weekend. Here’s your reward.

Schumer said the Dems will "keep fighting". Keep fighting their own voters? Keep fighting off effectiveness? Keep fighting being held accountable for anything? As far as I can tell the Democratic leadership is good at one thing only now, which is sending fundraising messages to my phone.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

One of two things is true:

1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.

OR

2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
November 10, 2025 at 12:43 PM
Sounds about right to me @senangusking.bsky.social
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

I do not need to read this to know what is obvious to everyone- at least in Maine. We were thrown under the bus. Again. Looking at you @senangusking.bsky.social
Eight senators in the Democratic caucus broke with the party on Sunday to vote with Republicans and advance legislation to end the U.S. government shutdown.

Here's what to know about the 8 lawmakers who broke ranks.

Two of them are retiring, and none of the others face re-election in 2026.
