Hello! I am a political strategist from Pennsylvania whose biggest focus has been police accountability projects, healthcare access, and gender equity issues.
In my spare moments I am an open records researcher. I have cardiac issues and rely upon a service dog.

I’m not united with this crap.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Any Democratic senator, at any moment, could've derailed this by calling for Schumer's replacement and casting their colleagues as MAGA collaborators, thereby shifting the Overton window. But they're all in on it. This was always a team effort.

i’m pretty sure i want the tax credits extended more than you do. Ask me how I know.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

i fear that the one day when the biden administration was like “jobs numbers are good we lowered unemployment!” and it basically was a chart that failed to acknowledge a million COVID deaths in any way contributing to that was the day all my hope died

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.
That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

Ed Martin posted this document — alleged to be a pardon from Trump dated Friday — on X tonight.
It purports to pardon “all U.S. citizens” for efforts relating to alternative elector slates and “efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities” in connection with the 2020 presidential election.

Healthcare costs for millions of Americans are doubling. Angus King has a net worth of $22 million.

"Our constituents want us to take this vote" really tracks well with shielding anyone up for re-election from taking this vote.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

“People should have childcare”
”Let’s use our police resources for something better than harassing homeless people”
“Makes buses fast and free”
“I won’t sexually harass any of my staff”
“Our military should follow international law“
These are moderate commitments.

some of us have had to sleep outside of senators’ office to fight for our right to stay alive and some of you don’t know how that feels.

Reporter: If they block ACA subsidies, will you vote against government funding in January?

just to be clear, disabled comrades have been literally risking their lives for over a decade to protect the ACA and Senate Democrats just took the first step in destroying it.
Remove Chuck Schumer, or I don’t want to hear it.

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"

Stop patting senators on the head unless they are calling for schumer's removal. Everything else is just in the script
