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

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Dem base that gave them a blue tsunami: DON'T CAVE

Majority of Dem elected officials: DON'T CAVE

The majority of Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown and higher costs...

8 Dem Centrists (and you better believe Schumer knows what's up): Nah, We'll cave.

I guarantee you calls came from donors.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢
Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.

Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Hill sources say more than 10 Dems are leaning toward a GOP deal that gives away our leverage for empty promises — this is the moment to hold the line, not surrender.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future.
Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!!
Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you
Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

The Netherlands just elected a young, upbeat, openly gay prime minister who’s talking optimism, growth, and even building new cities, and somehow, it’s working!

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.
