You can’t win elections by losing negotiations.
On Tuesday voters showed the fuck up in an off year, after a brutal year fighting prevent the worst abuses of power.
And Dems in Congress take that gift, that sacrifice, and are poised to secure zero policy wins based on it.
Feckless losers.

Just imagining the media on Earth 2 on a day when President Harris's aides are fighting to withhold food stamps and raise healthcare prices for tens of millions of Americans while she hosts a former affiliate of al-Qaeda and ISIS in the Oval Office

“Everybody will get to see us standing up for them and losing badly” will surely be a winning 2026 message
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.

Come on! We know members of the Senate are “free agents,” but the fact is Schumer didn’t hold his caucus together & isn’t doing his job as Leader
We’re supposed to believe it’s a coincidence that none of the Dems who voted yes on the CR have anything to lose in 2026?
@schumer.senate.gov STEP DOWN!

Senator Mark Kelly voted for a number of Trumps awful confirmations.
Seems like the Democrats take turns pretending to care about our issues and then take turns sabotaging any actual progress.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.
