If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

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

Talk to the Senators who are caving. Show them all of these messages.
DO SOMETHING to stop this train wreck!

Which of your colleagues are faltering? Red states? Tell them to tell their constituents that you’re saving healthcare. Make. Them. Understand.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

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.

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.

I called Sen. Schumer’s office and left a message to get on the same page and hold the line.

I am appalled that after all of this, Dems are just going to cave and get no guarantees on health care.

Do not send the message that starving citizens is the way to win.

Call Schumer:

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?

SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

@duckworth.senate.gov @chrismurphy.senate.gov

there is a ton going on & things are slipping by when the next thing comes up.
How about setting about committees to deal with specific issue so things don’t get lost. Ex: Epstein, ICE abuse, SNAP, Supreme Ct cases,war on Venezuala etc.

Families caught in the middle of the SNAP hostage situation say they feel abandoned by their elected representatives. And they have been. They’ve been abandoned in favor of a handful of billionaires and the politicians doing their bidding.

Mike Johnson is obstructing the US Constitution. President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a US District Court Judge for Northern District of Texas. President Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his own father – a notary public and justice of the peace.

Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Now.

Judge orders Trump administration to deliver full SNAP benefits to states by Friday The administration had said it would distribute partial payments in November, but that the process could take weeks. The Justice Department said it intends to appeal Thursday's order.

🚨Judge ORDERS Trump administration to deliver full SNAP benefits to states by TODAY! Please report if you received your benefits for SNAP. 4 out of 5 households of 42M with benefits have at least one child or someone with a disability. I’m still at $0 here in NYC!🚨

Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

So this is the most casual, chill boarding process I’ve ever experienced. The dude at the gate just hollered rather than mumble into a microphone. β€œOkay, there’s only 34 of us, so let’s do this!” And we did it. No zones. No warnings about lack of carry on space.

Canada is so cool.
