Come on! We know members of the Senate are “free agents,” but the fact is Schumer didn’t hold his caucus together & isn’t doing his job as Leader
We’re supposed to believe it’s a coincidence that none of the Dems who voted yes on the CR have anything to lose in 2026?
@schumer.senate.gov STEP DOWN!

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) announced the state would deploy its own state observers to polling locations — the same places the DOJ said it would send federal “election monitors.”
Local officials say the move looks less like safeguarding rights and more like interference.
