John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

We just won on Tuesday…

Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment

I am a state employee that is partially funded by fed funds

I may be in danger of losing a paycheck in the next weeks as shutdown goes on

BUT for Dem leadership to cave now would be for nothing

@schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should be fucking ashamed... And *primaried*

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader

This.

Regarding Democrat Senators who caved
Agree with you Governor 💯

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

Just a reminder.

Once again the dems are selling out the American people.

I hope they all get signed MAGA hats!

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

I voted NO.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

From the DNC Chair to Chuck Schumer to Hakeem Jeffries to Democratic governors, the vast majority of Dem politicians strongly oppose this deal. This is a small group of cowards who betrayed their party and tens of millions of Americans who are about to lose their health care.

Capitulating isn't working together. Giving one side everything they want without getting something back, isn't negotiation. Jesus Christ what a bunch of spineless weasels.

Well, one minor reason is that the problems that are facing this country, were ALL generated BY the Republican party. So, “working together” to solve our problems WITH the people who CREATED those problems isn’t a thing.

This would be like working with Hitler to solve the Nazi problem in Germany.

The other reason Democrats are taking Trump to the mat in a shutdown battle Health care assistance is their No. 1 demand, but Democrats are battling over something even more fundamental.

No restoration of ACA subsidies, only the "promise' of a Senate vote and no promise at all in the House. Just one of several dealbreakers in this shutdown "deal." Where is the provision that stops Trump from ignoring Congress and spending money any way he wants? www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

genuinely when you're online arguing that the graphs say the economy is good actually, what do you expect people to say? what is the end result you're hoping for? for everyone to stop complaining about their personal starvation, evictions and medical debt because a line is going up somewhere?

It's the only reasonable opinion for any patriotic American

Moderate Democrats in the Senate are desperate to stop the momentum of progressives. So they voted with Republicans to make ACA premiums unaffordable.And to end the shutdown without getting a damn thing. Primary all of those who voted against the American People tonight. #ProudBlue

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Dear Senate Dems,

Republicans don’t keep their promises…

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

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.

The only political accomplishment out of this for Dems is that when health insurance skyrockets for 22 million Americans in 42 days, it will be clear to even low information voters that Republicans are the ones responsible. Whether that makes all this worth it remains to be seen.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
