⚡️ JUST NOW — Speaker Johnson will NOT guarantee a vote on ACA subsidies even if it passes the senate (after the Schumer-orchestrated cave)👇🏽

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Who needs corrupt, cruel MAGA politicians when we have weak, centrist Democrats willing to cave for lobbyists and throw their own party and base under the bus?

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

Capitulating Democratic senators waited until after the election, indicating they know capitulation was a bad politics that bothers their voters and reduces their chances of retaking power.

Cowards and sellouts, every single one. We’ll remember come the next election & send you into oblivion. Hassan and Durbin can fuck off into retirement. Hope your airline lobbyist payouts were worth it.
Here are the 8 Democratic senators who just voted to move forward with an agreement to end the shutdown:
Catherine Cortez Masto
Dick Durbin
John Fetterman
Maggie Hassan
Tim Kaine
Angus King (I)
Jacky Rosen
Jeanne Shaheen

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Ask me how to unmotivate D voters from showing up to the midterms and I’ll tell you to do what @schumer.senate.gov & the @democrats.senate.gov are doing now by bailing out R’s again instead of letting them wallow in their unpopularity and pressure as shutdown drags on. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

@democrats.senate.gov better not cave on holding out for ACA subsidies, otherwise they’ll own this shutdown and they better not ask for anything from their base if they vote with R’s. Fuck them, and fight, or be prepared to be primaried next year. #dems

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I think the answer to the question of whether we are better off than we were a year ago is a resounding “fuck no.”
