Meet USMC Lt. Colonel Pappy Boyington. ACE. 28 kills, two years as a POW, a legend in the sky. Earned Medal of Honor & Navy Cross. A lifetime of chaos & courage. He led the Black Sheep Squadron with grit, whiskey & guts. Marines talked about him. No one flew like him.

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally.
If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

After this latest round of elections, if they cave, we can probably look forward to GOP control for the foreseeable future because a lot of the left is just going to say “fuck it.”
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.

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.

This deal fails on the one thing we promised to deliver for the American people. Millions of Americans' health care costs will skyrocket, and we have nothing to reassure them with but the hope that Speaker Johnson will do the right thing. For that reason, I am a no on the Senate deal.

What kills me is opening the govt doesn't magically make more ATCers appear. SNAP is still being gutted and should NEVER have been withheld in a shutdown. That was a choice for leverage. Insurance hikes will hurt more ppl & children. Caving helps nothing and costs us so damn much 🤬💔

Getting people to vote will be even harder now. Many will think, "what's the point" if the Dems who are elected just cave.

No, they couldn't care less what we want, clearly! They ignore us regularly. It sucks to vote these people in just to have them work for corporations and Millionaires and billionaires. I cannot believe these people just threw us under the bus. Do not send out any fundraising emails.

I would suggest people call Sen Gary Peters who is chair of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and inform him that you will not be funding anymore campaigns until there is a change of leadership. Also inform him that we Dems will primary the eight.

Schumer and Jefferies DEFINITELY need to go.
Any dem who voted to honor Charlie Kirk needs to be primaried, and establishment dems need to be dog walked until the midterms.
There was no need for this capitulation, and nothing they say can defend what they have done.
