You didn't get a vote. You got a "promise" of a vote. From a party who is disappearing nannies & gardeners and zip-tying children. A party who has flushed Due Process in America down the toilet. Who has subjugated its Congressional duties to an autocrat. That's what everybody sees, Tim.

We’ve already seen what Republicans do when they get a chance to vote on ACA provisions. We’ve seen it over and over again. Get ready to lose your subsidy, and maybe the whole package, boys and girls! Rs hate healthcare.

"Keep" fighting? You haven't started. Was it the airlines or big donors who were pressuring you?

You seriously need to step out of DC and FEEL the frustration with your actions. We are up against fascist policies, and you are waving a white flag already. We need real leaders!

This is not the case/rationale on which SCOTUS wants to tank Obergefell. Another one is in the works.

Plenty of these goons can be identified even with face masks. Their names should be spread far and wide.

Angus should have actually tried to stand up.

Maybe he'll get a free room at Mar a Lago now.

This will be reversed before nightfall. Those billionaires didn't buy the US Govt to be treated like this.

Trump cannot pardon state crimes, as these were largely charges in the state of Georgia.

Could you mention these were criminals in the state of Georgia, and that Trump cannot legally pardon them. He can say they are "pardoned", but their crimes in Georgia are not pardoned.

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.

Republicans have already voted down extending the ACA subsidies. That’s what makes the Dem capitulation so egregious.

It depends on what Trump tells Mikey to do.

When have Republicans EVER supported any part of ACA????

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!

That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

You can't even leave a message for Fetterman or Durbin. They don't want to hear from us.

Hey Senate Dems, mike johnson said last week he WOULD NOT promise a vote on tax credits!!!

Do you know what a bill the passes the senate but doesn't pass the house is called?

It's called NOTHING!

The republicans wont even hang the January 6th plaque (which is already law) They played you.

The only way I would ever support a short term funding bill is if Adelita Grijalva is immediately sworn in first thing tomorrow morning, SNAP is fully funded, federal workers get back pay, and a vote is passed to release the Epstein files before January. Otherwise…No.
