How convenient that @durbin.senate.gov mailbox is not receiving messages and he's nowhere to be seen. Hiding in shame at supporting this sham of a bill. Just bc you're retiring doesn't mean anything. Forget about any future donations to DNC @schumer.senate.gov

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.

8 Democrats capitulated, in exchange for NOTHING! You’d think we had just LOST the election on Tuesday, rather than winning a landslide! Spineless cowards!

Here they are:

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

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.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

@schumer.senate.gov should be ashamed of himself. This is not the deal Americans need or want. Remember ACA. Do not go forward!

@durbin.senate.gov How dare you agree to go forward with this vote? 40 days for nothing?
There's still time to do the right thing!

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most.

With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities.

Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards.

It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

Really disgusted by the emboldened assholery all around. Just saw a trmp duck in a jeep, an fjb sticker, and another ridiculous truck with a license spelling out "you are poor".
Why? Giving me so many reasons to abandon this place...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

By the way, Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth still have jobs after freely chatting about top secret war plans an a commercial texting app while they were clueless that a reporter was listening in.

Don't let the story die.
