I don't say this lightly. I have been willing to volunteer my time for plenty of candidates that I have lots of disagreements with over policy, even on very serious topics, all for the sake of the numbers balance in congress.

Those numbers don't mean anything if politicians aren't willing to fight.

I phone banked for Jacky Rosen last November. I will never do it again - or for any other senator who refuses to stand up for the bare minimum.

"Outrage and betrayal"

When people start dying of totally treatable conditions and diseases, you can look at this chart and see who caused their deaths. No hyperbole intended.

What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

She nails where so many of us are right now.

It was nice to feel hopeful about America and optimistic about the future for six days though.

These corrupt cowards can’t even let us be happy for ONE week.

‘This perfect storm:’ How Idaho Medicaid cuts could affect everyone’s health care access • Idaho Capital Sun Cuts are coming to Idaho Medicaid: doctor pay cuts, reforms in state law, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and potentially expiring health insurance subsidies.

A slew of cuts are coming to Idaho Medicaid. Advocates say everyone will feel their impact on the health care system — including people on private insurance.

Here's how. #idleg #idpol

Trump To Unpaid Air Traffic Controllers: ‘Get Back To Work ‘NOW!!!’ Or Leave Profession President Trump threatened to dock the pay of unpaid air traffic controllers who missed work during the shutdown—a move that aviation experts say will only make matters worse.

Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road? Which Trump will likely hold hostage? Huh?

Gavin Newsom: “It sounds like some of my colleagues in the Senate just decided we’re playing by the old set of rules and may have rolled over. Right now we’ve got to hold the line because I think America will become unrecognizable in a year or two unless we fight back”

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

They heard you! They heard you CAVE!

They heard you. They heard you roll over.

If a leader cannot unify his own caucus, why is he still a leader?

Come on! We know members of the Senate are “free agents,” but the fact is Schumer didn’t hold his caucus together & isn’t doing his job as Leader

We’re supposed to believe it’s a coincidence that none of the Dems who voted yes on the CR have anything to lose in 2026?

@schumer.senate.gov STEP DOWN!

I hear this is not over. I hope not. I hope we didn’t go all this way to cave with nothing.

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

The Senate might fold, but I sure as hell won’t.

Families are getting crushed by rising costs & as these healthcare tax credits expire, it’s only going to get worse.

And now the Senate wants us to “trust” them to fix it later with a debate on a bill, maybe?

I’m a F-NO!

Okay, folks, hold tight.

About to record a video explaining what happens next procedurally. This is NOT over.

And now we have a non-speculative list because we just saw the first vote.

Give me a few minutes and I'll have a clear explanation out for all of you.
