Thanks a lot for folding, @kaine.senate.gov—you are one hell of a disappointment. I never thought my own senator would vote against Virginia voters’ wishes. And after that beautiful blue sweep on Tuesday, too. You let us down big time.

@kaine.senate.gov THIS. THIS. THIS don’t sell us out
Democrats are caving again!
Stop!
Use your power!
Extend Obamacare subsidies for a year.
Do not believe the Republicas’ whatever they will say.
You know those Trump Republicans!

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.
We need new leaders in the Senate.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

📌How could ANY Democratic senator who watched what happened Tuesday night, and then surrender to the party they battered just five days later?
Because they are public servants who serve their private interests.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Dear Walmart,
Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST…

Good morning.
Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.
But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.
A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Brand new data:
Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).
These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.
Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.
Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.
