Democrats just had a huge election win and Republicans were feeling the pressure. At least give it a week!

Narrator: They were in fact further away.
They were lobbying publicly!
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
A GOP budget that spikes health premiums to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a grave betrayal of everyday families.
That was true in July. It was true in September. And it remains true today.
House Democrats are not giving up. Weβll keep fighting for the American people.
Senators from Maine and New Hampshire donβt care about that. All the more reason for DC to have two senators of their own.
A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.
This is key. The vote the Dems secured here is a fake nominal vote. Everyone knows this.
I donβt think he voted for the BBB
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. Itβs about peopleβs lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
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.
Durbin too. Itβs done. They caved. Embarrassing.
Democrats love to lose. Democrats finally won a media narrative for a change and they took it and tossed it in the trash. Now it looks like the GOP was right all along.
His terrible work on the Judiciary Committee now looks great compared to this performance.
My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
This is not a deal, itβs a surrender to Trump. Senate Democrats should reject this plan that does nothing to prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. Iβll be a HELL NO in the House.
SNAP is funded throughout the year once the government opens either way
I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them
Sanders: Letβs be clearβ¦ If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiumsβ¦ 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.
This right here.
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.
No health care, no deal.
Of course he is. Iβm so glad heβs retiring. Illinois should not have such a weak Democrat representing them.
I know itβs trite but if Biden ever said this itβd be on every front page in America and the urgency with which it would be reported would border on blind panic
Inform yourself before speaking.
Iβm so disappointed that @nicollewallace.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com havenβt spoken out to oppose the firing of Matthew Dowd
Iβm disappointed @chrislhayes.bsky.social has the facts wrong about what Kimmel actually said
Is there anyone left who isnβt afraid?
Why? Americans re-elected Donald Trump.
You should have spent two minutes watching the Kimmel clip instead of parroting the FOX News perspective on the clip.
Chris have you even watched the Kimmel clip? You have mischaracterized it two nights in a row. Your viewers deserve better.
The fact you can't tell the difference between these two is a reflection on you, not Chris.
