Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.
The Republican grifting is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Some nights we sign off with hope and inspiration.
Tonight, we sign off with anger and betrayal.
To the senators who caved... twice... May you have the night you deserve.
And to the rest of you...
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Night, folks 💚

Shut us down for good reason.
Open back up without any of those reasons having been fixed.
You want us to have confidence in you?
You want us to think YOU can lead US?
Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a chance to be back.. but our pain produced nothing in return.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.
Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.
Deals with this regime are meaningless.

Language buried in this shutdown “deal” allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money—because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop—Period.

WA Dems thank our tremendous Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell for holding the line for 22 million Americans who will see their healthcare prices spike.
6 takeaways from the Senate deal to end the shutdown
The shutdown is not over yet. Sunday’s 60-40 vote cleared the way for the Senate to formally debate the spending measure before a final vote.

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.
We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

Are you happy now that you gave up on the health and well being of your constituents?
Because you know who is celebrating? The FOTUS in the gold plated palace.

We want this #shutdown to end as much as anyone, but giving in to promises of a future vote on ACA subsidies is weak sauce. The House pen won’t even allow it and we can do this shutdown dance again in January. 😩
Senators, don’t make all this pain for nothing. Be bold. HOLD. THE. LINE.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
