Kaine Statement on Funding Deal to Reopen Government, Protect Federal Employees, and Vote to Protect Health Care | U.S. Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) released the following statement announcing he will vote to advance legislation to reopen the...

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

Everyone will remember that the last deal came with a "promise" for a vote on something that the Senate Ds making the deal cared about (DC funding) which Johnson threw in the trash. Dunno why theyd expect a promise on a healthcare subsidies vote to be any different.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told. This is the package: - CR thru Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill - Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Friendly reminder: 90+ freshman House members were sworn in during the 2019 shutdown. The government does not need to be open for members to take the oath. Grijalva could have been, and still can be, sworn in anytime…shutdown or not.

The weathiest country in the world doesn't mean a thing if it won’t feed its own people.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future.
Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!!
Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you
Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

This isn’t very hard, folks.

Logic Rules

DO NOT CAVE!

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

REPOST TO TELL DEMOCRATS NOT TO CAVE IN!!!

DO NOT CAVE! #DC #DEMOCRATS

The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.

Some decry this view as "socialism."

I call it fair.

What do you call a pair of slimeballs?

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Here’s what the shutdown is really about:

US states, nonprofits sue over Trump rule limiting student loan forgiveness Several Democratic-led states, cities and nonprofits filed lawsuits on Monday seeking to block a new rule by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that would exclude organizations from a federal student loan forgiveness program if they are deemed to have a "substantial illegal purpose."

President Trump does not have the authority to sidestep Congress in order to silence local governments and non-profit orgs that do work he doesn’t like.

Public servants serve the people, not politics. We're in court to protect the bipartisan promise of public service loan forgiveness.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
