Senate Reaches Deal To Reopen Government After Moderate Democrats Cave Republicans found enough Democrats willing to drop their party's demand to extend soon-to-expire health care subsidies for millions of people.

Senate reaches deal to reopen government after moderate Democrats cave

Free health care for me, but not for thee.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

No health care, no deal.

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

If you need confirmation Senate Democrats are fucking this whole thing up here you go. Excellent way to destroy the enthusiasm with huge Dem wins throughout the country up and down the ballot that were not even one week ago.

I suppose it’s something to imagine that in addition to being yelled at by us they are also being yelled at by House reps, some of whom probably have their real phone numbers

DO NOT CAVE!

I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my life’s mission to make sure there’s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, it’s fucking embarrassing.

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Chuck Schumer cannot agree to any deal that does not include, at minimum, a one year extension of the ACA credits.

A pinky promise from John Thune is meaningless.

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.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

You can pull up 5calls.org enter your zipcode & get a walk through with phone numbers to call & a script! It took me less than FOUR MINUTES to call my Senators!

It’s unbelievable that we’re in the longest shutdown in HISTORY… and Donald Trump is still too scared of Democrats to work out a deal and prevent huge premium increases for millions.

Cleaning Woman Killed Through Door After Arriving at Wrong Home, Police Say

A cleaning woman showed up at the wrong house with her husband. Someone inside shot through the door, striking 32-year-old María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez in the head, killing her.

The Indianapolis suburb is called Whitestown.

So much for those trusted, educated individuals trying to tell us COVID is just the flu.
They had no clue. They lied.

Again: If this were Biden it would be front page news and Fox would be talking about it non stop.

Once again Trump gets a pass.

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize

When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

uh-oh. turns out the mortgage document that the DOJ is alleging was fraudulent b/c great niece paid some rent (great niece testified she didn't) refers to "short-term rentals," which seems to blow DOJ theory that it could't be rented out of the water. Another disaster of a case.
