Relatedly, in case you missed it: My colleague @rparloff.bsky.social wrote an excellent play-by-play of last Wednesday’s hearing in the Comey case.

Americans deserve explanation of what is behind these Senate Democrats jumping ship. Can't tell if running away from or toward something.

Local reporters need to reach out to these people in their areas and ask them, What were you thinking?, and, Do you care how this looks to energized supporters?
NEW: It appears Senate Dems have enough votes for cloture with Jacky Rosen flipping to a yes vote. Rand Paul voted no. Kaine, Rosen, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassen, King, Durbin, Cortez-Masto are the dems yes votes.

Bernie is 100% dead on!
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.

If you live in NH and don’t want this deal it’s time to get on the phones right now.
2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …

@kim.senate.gov don’t vote YES for the budget, without the ACA credits being extended for at least a year. Please don’t cave, you must stay strong and hold your ground! We need politicians who fight for us and dont give in to the bullies.

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.

Bipartisanship with a party full of fascists is not cooperation; it's appeasement.

Correct. Politico and axios are NOT reliable accurate news reporting sources.
Ppl using Politico and Axios as the gospel of what Dems are saying or doing is exactly how we get people believing Dems are doing or saying the exact opposite of what reality actually is. B/C one doesn't have to actually read the stories, they just have to swallow what someone reacting to them says.

This morning, the president ordered states to not distribute full SNAP benefits for November, and demanded that states “undo” any benefits payments that have already been sent to working families for food.

Read our statement in response.
