They all need to hear that their voters feel this is a HUGE betrayal- like a giant middle finger to us all after last week’s elections. We will not forgive or forget. Not more donations. Support of primary challengers, etc. We feel absolute rage.

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium.
It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year.
So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.
Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.
Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!
Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

No, no, no. Senate Democrats secured the concepts of a plan for a handshake for a promise to hold a vote they will lose.
Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is not a deal, it’s a surrender to Trump. Senate Democrats should reject this plan that does nothing to prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. I’ll be a HELL NO in the House.

Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.
