Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Healthcare is a human right.

Democratic Senators should fight for it like lives depend on it because they do.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

None of these centrist clowns squawk without Trump's apprentice telling them, first.

Doomer Boomer Schumer is an AIPAC shill and a blight on the DNC.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

I voted no tonight.

But the next phase of Democrats’ health care affordability fight is starting.

While I personally don’t believe Republicans will keep their promise to work with us on lowering health care costs, I would be thrilled to be wrong.

10.11.2025 02:17 πŸ‘ 2157 πŸ” 370 πŸ’¬ 324 πŸ“Œ 37

Republicans have been trying to kill healthcare for years. A promise of a vote is still killing healthcare.

EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 β€” enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Senate Reaches Deal To Reopen Government After Democrats Relent

THIS IS BULLSHIT. PLEASE SHARE AND CALL HOUSE MEMBERS NOW.

202-224-3121

NEW: The U.S. Senate on Sunday reached a deal to reopen the federal government after a 40-day funding lapse without provisions Democrats had demanded on health care, sources familiar with the negotiations told HuffPost.

Did you get your new healthcare premium notice yet?

β€œMedicare for All” is starting to sound real good to a lot of folks who didn’t want to talk about it before.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

I am not a lawyer but The Blaze story accusing a former Capitol Police officer of being the January pipe bomber hits a lot of the hard to achieve qualifications for a defamation case:
-A non famous person being accused of a serious crime
-Previous motivation to go after her, she's been harassed/
