I repeat, if YOU are not active and vigilant in Democratic primaries,

King: So I believe that we are closer tonight to a vote on the ACA tax credits than we were this morning. This agreement tonight is a win for the American people.

Remember their names. It’s time to clean house when their elections come up!

Hassan: With the government reopening shortly, Republicans now finally have to come to the table. Or make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood in the way.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Hey, Senators!
Thanks for making this the Democratic shutdown after all!
You shut the government down and deprived families of income for over a month to gain this?
I agree with the Republicans, you fucking shut the government down for nothing!

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress.
It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.
A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

"We need solid guarantees that they won't simply renege"
What kind of guarantee can you possibly get from a regime that has been lying and breaking the law from the word go.
Hold the damn line.

@schiff.senate.gov is supporting Schumer's deal but is worried:
"They're telling us they're going to cheat on an agreement, and we need in whatever agreement we reach, to have some really solid guarantees in that legislation that they simply can't go and renege after it's done."
