It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

I’m a hard no on this β€œdeal.”

I don’t take promises from Trump or Republicans in Congress anymore. I’m no fool.

My constituents deserve enforceable guarantees for their health care and our democracy.

Come back to me when you’re serious.

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.

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 original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

You think Dem voters would have turned out in the numbers, and with the enthusiasm, they did JUST FIVE DAYS AGO if they thought the party was going cave like this? Jesus

The coordinated nature of thisβ€”none are facing voters in 2026β€”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.

"Extortion" is the correct term, factually and legally. This wasn't hard-ball negotiating. Trump unlawfully harmed them, threatened more illegal actions, and made demands to stop.

It's no more a "deal" than if you acquiesced when a cop punched you then demanded you give him $100 or he'd arrest you.

Top Generals Nominated for New Positions Must Now Meet With Trump

All four-star general nominees must now interview with President Trump. The goal is to "ensure they are war fighters first β€” not bureaucrats,” says the WH.
Some fear it could politicize the general officer corps.
