Until the media, judicial system, and Democratic Party understand this, we're headed for hellfire
Your reelection doesn't matter, your approval rating doesn't matter, your sense of being a bigwig in your professional circle doesn't matter, what matters is saving the fucking United States of America

“We kept @schumer.senate.gov informed throughout”
Translation: Schumer quarterbacked it and made sure only Dems not up for re-election voted to cave

How did last week's elections go so well if it "didn't work?" 😓
I think this guy was worried that it would work too well and his country club buddies would be mad at him.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I don't care about the policy outcomes, which will be shitty anyway in the next three years.
What I blame the 8 Senators for is how they dismissed the clear signal the voters sent in the last week's elections. If the voters approve the shutdown, who the fuck are they to say otherwise?

Fuck you Durbin. The Senate needs to understand its constituents, not the other way around.
talking down to an outraged electorate - interesting strategy, let’s see how it plays out.
Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

We need to be protesting at Tim Kaine’s offices and House this week!
We need to be protesting in front of Jean Sheen’s house and office.
The Dems need to know this will NOT be accepted or forgiven, and they will ALL pay the price, because we know a team betrayal when we see one!

Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

Vote out Schumer, Gillibrand, and every Establishment Corporate funded Democrat. They've failed us repeatedly and have no idea how to lead. The Democratic Party will either die or transform into new leadership. It cannot survive in its current state.

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.
The Senate Democrats!

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)
