You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

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.

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.
They don't need to be in these positions anymore.
They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.
Demand more and better, folks.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

FUN FACT:
My favorite part of tonight's election results is that all three of the major trump endorsements (Ciattarelli, Miyares, and Cuomo) LOST bigly.
And trump handed out 53 down-ballot endorsements in New Jersey and Virginia. THEY ALL LOST.
Every. Last. One.
