Schumer really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this…
America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it. I am voting NO.

Did he forget about Tuesday? Holy shit
Senator Angus King on why he supports the Senate deal to end the government shutdown: “Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work.”

#2 here is crucial: “Dems run real risk of depressing a base that just began to think they were fighting/had a winning hand”
10 thoughts on the shutdown. But, really, you don't have to reads these. there's a lot of takes out there. 1. Dems clearly lost on their main objectives: extending subsidies+ ending rescissions. Can't spin that 2. Dems run real risk of depressing a base that just began to think

The politics are not what the Republicans (and some Democrats) think they are. In this environment, Ossoff is smart to be fighting like hell for affordable health care
Wow — Sen. Ossoff, the most vulnerable Senate Dem, is a no

My guess on the cavers: Dick Durbin (IL) — retiring Angus King (ME) — prob retiring Gary Peters (MI) — retiring Tina Smith (MN) — retiring Jeanne Shaheen (NH) — retiring Maggie Hassan (NH) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) John Fetterman (PA) — Fetterman

Pathetic. This isn’t a deal. It’s a surrender. Don’t bend the knee!
And this does absolutely zero on Obamacare. The most Democrats get is a Senate vote. After 40 days.

Democrats need new leadership. They failed. We need real leaders against this crazy person in office.

Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

A promise that won't mean shit
Per Axios, the official shutdown-ending deal — led by Sens. Angus King, Jeanne Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan, entails: ▪️ CR through Jan 30: A short-term stopgap bill that reopens the government until January 30, giving Congress more time to negotiate full-year funding. ▪️ ACA vote

With Democrats like these who needs republicans
BREAKING: Democrats are expected to back the funding bill despite losing on Obamacare subsidy extensions, ABC reports. They plan to take the fight over health care to the midterms, blaming Republicans for rising insurance premiums.

Name and shame and primary their asses
DEMOCRATS, 11 "or more" Democrats are reportedly breaking ranks and preparing to vote for Trump and against their own party and country. They are getting nothing in return. Zero gain on ACA subsidies. They are giving up everything for nothing.
