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.

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.
