We need new leadership in the Senate. We need the Senators who actually care about us to push for a new minority leader. There will be many changing to Independent after today’s betrayal. Please do what you can to deliver that message to your colleagues. @alsobrooks.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Any D running for Senate in 2026 must vow to oust Schumer as leader. Maybe he would quit

You don’t know how to fight. You have healthcare so maybe it’s easier for you to stop fighting and cave. It’s our families’ lives at stake. Not yours.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 7h

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

It’s time to step down @schumer.senate.gov. We can’t trust you to lead anymore. You spent years watching Harry Reid. Nancy Pelosi knew how to inspire and keep our people together. Thank you for your service. Now, for the love of our country, go home.

Before I ever donate to the Dem party again, I need a statement that no donations will go to the 8 traitorous Senators who are helping the GOP endanger our lives. Not giving money to people colluding with fascists. @kenmartin.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Jeanne Shaheen is the 78 year old Democrat Senator from New Hampshire. She caved. She refused to fight for her constituents or for Americans at all.

If she is your Senator, please let her know how you feel.

After everything, Senate Democrats still haven’t figured out that surrendering to Trump Republicans will end badly? Unbelievable.

It’s well past time for new Dem leadership. @schumer.senate.gov needs to step down now and allow young bold Dems to step in and give us a fighting chance. The old guard can’t seem to understand that these aren’t normal times.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

So @schumer.senate.gov really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this by getting senators not up for re-election to vote yes?

You are trusting proven liars and gambling with OUR healthcare and our lives. You can’t trust them and we can’t trust you. How much money do you get from the healthcare industry or did you betray us for free?

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

@democrats.senate.gov You’re going to cave? You think they’re going to bargain over ACA? They won’t.There goes pre-existing condition language & ability for my self employed son/DIL to afford health ins since they buy into the exchanges. I’ll work tirelessly against any Senator who caves. I’m in NYS

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, a 'promise' from Republicans? WTAF? Are you a child? Even you can't be that naïve. Don't you dare do your kabuki theater with hundreds of millions of lives hanging in the balance.

If you can't play hardball, resign. Immediately.

So why are we hearing today that Dems are caving and screwing us out of our healthcare? I am used to this regime trying to kill us, didn’t expect Dems to help them.
