“It’s like The Twilight Zone,” one CDC staffer says of the sudden shifts at the agency.
Scientists vanish, truth gets censored, and the new boss thinks expertise is optional. Tune in as “Data” and “Evidence” are written out of the script.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.
We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

It is a massive mistake to strip tens of millions of people of their health insurance. It’s an outright betrayal of what families need.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

This is so sickening and disheartening.
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

Murphy is right, people will be devastated. Spinelessness and a real failure of leadership. Schumer MUST go!
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"

The Senate Dems are possibly going to cave to the GOP on the shutdown tonight. Do not let this happen! Call your senators if they’re Democrat and demand that the hold the line. Also call Senator Schumer no matter what state you’re from. This needs to be done today ASAP.
So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader
