From what I'm hearing from folks on the ground, this is exactly correct. This regime does nothing but lie, and they respond to nothing but strength. Dems and other leaders should recognize they're weak now - ignore the propaganda and go on offense.
I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

No better way to show our 💙for MN than a blizzard rally outside @schumer.senate.gov (7th day in a row!) We are so thankful that ni Dems are voting for DHS$, but we also know that this is just a 1st step in stopping ICE terror! Hold the Line, Chuck!

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

SCHUMER TO PARTY: PLAY DEAD
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

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!

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

If you have a Dem Senator- 202-224-3121
Be nice but firm
we The People have the power
we The People can elect DIFFERENT DEMS, and because he is the leader, even if he isn’t your Senator, you can call Chuck Schumer. Everyone else, stick to your own state’s civil servant and politely DEMAND not caving
(Not that Ezra)
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

On the two biggest contests in the past week — the NYC election and the shutdown — Chuck Schumer isn’t just voting with Republicans; he’s voting explicitly with *Donald Trump*
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment, fascist collaborators. 👍

Republicans are actual evil, but this will never improve until people stop acting surprised every time they do this and start recognizing that Democrats aren't your friends.
