Ds momentum into 2026 isn't gonna be strong when members of the party keep caving

And if you don't, we can either assume you're complicit (you probably are) or that you're not cut out for this moment and need to resign immediately (we already know you aren't)

Get your fucking caucus in check my guy

Or that there just happened to be enough Yes votes to hit the threshold

Hahahahah they were just playing a trick on us where they’d pretend to fight back until we voted for them, and then immediately cave www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Respectfully, it’s not “centrists vs progressives.” That’s the old way of thinking. It’s “institutionalists/establishment” vs “populists/fighters.”

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

Stop what? Speaking the truth?

@kaine.senate.gov Fuck you and every one of your fellow Democrats who caved for nothing. You made people suffer for weeks with the argument you were getting something better out of it then cave and get nothing better out of it. Your state just sent results they want real action and then you do thi

I have never been a Democrat and it appears I never will be. But my state doesn't have party registration requirements. I vote Democrat but I'm starting to really wish I didn't "have" to. This two party system shit was a massive mistake.

If you can't grasp how this also makes democrats look really fucking dumb, I don't know what to say. They literally held it up for weeks for the "greater good" then got nothing at all out of it. Completely pathetic of them.

You know, the way this is heading, we can't vote our way out of this. Because voting isn't changing them at all. We're going to have to get a lot more forceful.

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Citizen's United was the worst thing this country ever allowed.

The Dem base wants the shutdown to continue because it’s the only time we’ve felt like our electeds were representing us: trying to squeeze the GOP instead of squeezing us to accept concessions; directing their anger at the Republicans instead of at their own voters for wanting them to resist

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told. This is the package: - CR thru Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill - Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight. They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more. Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

If Chuck Schumer was the coach of an NFL team and got these kinds of results he wound have been fired and thrown out on his ass a long time ago.

You need to call for your Senate party leadership to resign immediately. This is the 2nd time he's caved in a year and it's unacceptable.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

They caved. Senate Democrats caved. Their voters demanded just one very simple thing: FIGHT. Dammit, just FIGHT. Instead, they caved.

The one in the town I worked shut down a while ago now

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Alright I'll give him some credit for this one

BREAM: Can you not swear in Adelita Grijalva, though?

MIKE JOHNSON: There is a precedent for doing a pro forma session swearing in, but we are not engaging in regular business right now

How can you "leak" a public policy proposal?

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

Okay, in a case like this, where someone loses a whole bunch of their family, you can at least just not SAY anything showing you're a disgusting human being with no compassion. This is a horrible tragedy no matter what.

Better solution than whining about liberals online.
