🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...
Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “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.”

Contact every Democratic US Senator. Make one thing clear: Accepting a "deal" that doesn't include saving the ACA subsidies will be a career ending decision.

I hope @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are working on persauding others to just vote no.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing
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.

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

Trump Keeps Attacking Americans. Why Does He Get Away With It?
Republicans can insult half the country without consequence. Democrats say “deplorables” once and never hear the end of it.
