This is the Surrender Caucus:

-
I was initially willing to believe it might be a strategic move, but looking at the people who did it, I don't think it was.
-
Not shocked that Fetterman or Dick is there
-
Of course, Uncle fucking Fester-Man is there. I'm hoping he gets depressed again and jumps off of a bridge.
-
What have the Republicans gained in this deal? What have the Democrats lost? Explain it to me like I care about the lives of federal employees and others who depend on the state.
In practical terms please. Not some handwaving about "leverage". Explain how a vote for ACA will ever pass this House.
-
They probably see themselves as heroes who stopped the government shutdown. Senator Kaine said he slept better last night since Oct. 1. #oblivious
-
8 new members of MAGA as far as I'm concerned.
-
Shame
-
Gross

Seeing Jackie Rosen's pic is certainly no surprise.

@schumer.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov @rosen.senate.gov Congrats on turning the longest shutdown from a Trump/Rep Shutdown into an official Dem Shutdown. Now, please step down so we can continue trying to end this national nightmare.
-
Republicans pretending not to be.
-
A revised gang of 8. Belly crawling spineless self centered and running scared. They got played like a fiddle and will be remembered as traitors and losers.
-
-
Embarrassing To be from NH today.
-
Please Please Please don't present this as 8 rogue senators. This was a structured roll call brokered by Democratic leadership. Our democracy is at stake and we need to focus on where the problems are.

Noam Chomsky: "In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population."
-
Chosen specifically because they’re not on the ballot in 2026. Despicable.
-
There is of course an argument that currently a lot are being harmed, long term even more or at least equal. They have decided to let the cards fall, Trump needs to deliver a healthcare and SNAP deal or forever be the president who starved his citizens and took away health care. Smart, possibly?
-
DINOs ! All of them!
Democrats In Name Only
-
Traitors, every one of them.
-
I am hoping they are soon to be unemployed for gross incompetence. Who doesn’t get there is going to be pain under the MAGA Circus, it’s just a matter of time before you’re next, but to cave on a never going to happen promise. What the ever-loving Fuck!
-
-
Suffering from the “peace in our time” delusion
-
Their donors pay them handsomely to give up.
-
These are the ones we need to remove from office---ELECTION 2026...they betrayed the people who put them in office...
-
Always give up. Always surrender.
-
8 more GOPs
-
Wimps
-
Vote 3rd party or don't bother voting....the DEM party has failed us yet again
-
COWARDS
-
All millionaires with lifetime health insurance and recipients of Airline PAC money. Thanksgiving is coming.
-
The coward Senators that betrayed us are not for re-election until 2028/2030. They count on not being held accountable on the next midterms: John Fetterman (PA) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) Jackie Rosen (NV) Angus King (ME) Dick Durbin (IL) Maggie Hassan (NH) Tim Kaine (VA) Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
-
How come the ringleader isn’t in the list?
-
Usual suspects .. fetterman has gots to go
-
Hang one outside each of their offices.
-
The Vichy 8...
-
Yep!
Let’s be clear this was Scumer’s version of Susan Collin’s classic move.
“Let’s all go get ice cream together” is not a winning strategy when the opposition is a tyrannical group of criminals determined to destroy democracy. Did D’s learn nothing from Joe’s failure? Fk that!
-
Oh all career idiots
-
Every time I start to get a little hope in the democrats...
-
I fathom, you'll need new democrats. What about social democrats? Try these, we made quite okayish experiences with this breed...
But your mileage may vary, they tend to become your democrats when overused...
-
Can we stop calling Fetterman a Democrat? He continues to betray the party every chance he gets
-
Insane, old and clearly deteriorting skeletons.
Not surprised they don't have spines. They either turned to dust or are actually mentally ill.
-
Durbin is a disappointment
-
Never forget!!!!!!
-
This is WHY we MUST reject the corporate wing of the DNC. Aka Corpracrats. It won't be easy. However, they MUST be primaried out. Oh, and you can expect the corporate wing to back them like they did Andrew Cuomo in the NYC mayor race after he lost the democratic nomination.
-
Is anyone even the slightest bit surprised to see Fetterman on that list?
-
@democrats.senate.gov These eight Trump suckers need to start packing up their desks. If none of you have been listening....we will not support those who will not fight against MAGA and for the people.
-
They RUINED the momentum...shameful group that did nothing to help and weakened the recent gains the party has made.
-
AKA the 8 stupid enough to believe the GOP’s “promise” of a vote on the ACA subsidies in December. FFS, what rock do they live under?!
-
Don’t Do It, you fools!
-
Nah this was tactical. It's not a coincidence that every one of them has nothing to lose.
-
Vote them out!
-
#Damnocrats
-
🥹😠🙄👎
-
Dick Durbin again, can’t wait for that asshole to retire.
-
Say good-bye, Cowards. You are DONE.
-
Fetterman is a republican, he should stop pretending otherwise.
-
The only thing missing from that box of boneless chickens is a side.
-
We need to stop characterizing these senators as conciliatory or weak. They are corrupt. They are protecting corporate interests at the expense of working people and our democracy. This is corruption not surrender.
-
Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada Dick Durbin of Illinois John Fetterman of Pennsylvania Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire Tim Kaine of Virginia Angus King of Maine Jacky Rosen of Nevada Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Guess what 8 Democrats are NOT up for re-election in the 2026 midterms.
-
So disappointed and angry at all of them. WHY???? This is not what the United States wanted. Schumer must go.
-
Sellouts

Look at them! These are the people who gave in to fascists and felons.
-
Who are they? Traitors all
-
They are too old to realize what they are doing
-
It's called being Collaborators, history has shown things do not work out well for collaborators, and there is a long list of collaborators from school boards to Congress, and every branch and every level of law enforcement and military.
-
-
How much lobbying money was put in their pockets this year?? The airline lobby, Walmart and all the other stores that will will gain $2 billion per month with SNAP benefits in place....
-
The thing is... it's not. It's part of the Surrender Caucus, but did you notice how nobody up for reelection in 2026 is in there? This was a negotiated thing. The Surrender Caucus is bigger than this.
-
👇
-
Fetterman is a major disappointment along with the rest of these sell-outs.
-
I have been supporting and voting for Tim Kaine since 2002, that ended today. If he runs again in 2030. I will do everything in my power to get him out. I know alot on Virginians are with me.
-
Dick Durbin? Sounds more like Dick Turpin!
-
So what I hear is that it is not as straightforward as it seems. As if the Dems don't sit down to vote, the ACA will expire in December anyway. If they take the vote, those who voted 'yes' for this will be left on the wall for everyone to see. Best way is of course to get some of the GOP to agree
-
You people are on the wrong side of history. More Americans will suffer by your actions. Traitors…
-
With people like this on our side we’re fucked.
-
And does anybody still believe the democrats aren’t playing “good cop” anymore?
-
Called everyone of them today. Thank you.
-
Oh Lookee 😒 2 of my 2 Democrat Senators working for Not Their Constituents but for the trump regime. Hope that aipac dark money is worth selling your soul.
-
How many of them can't afford medical insurance?
-
"Clearly what the people want is us to go more to the right so we can get conservative voters!" - Chuck "Pussy Willow" Schumer
-
SELLOUTS ... primary them all and don't contribute a dime to their campaigns, or, for that matter, to the DNC.
-
LOSERS
-
Ok team, you have the ball now and you want us to trust you with it.
Do something!
-
I call them the gullible idiots
-
Democrats it’s time for violence, remove these unamerican ghouls from our party, by force. Scalp these fuckers.
-
I'm honestly surprised about Dick Durbin & Tim Caine. Disgusting
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
-
I’m not voting for anyone that keeps Schumer and Jeffries as leaders!
-
Old, white, DNC establishment dems who aren't facing a primary or are going to retire soon -- this stinks of Chuck Schumer's involvement. He needs to be removed as Minority Leader and we should all be demanding it.
-
Those are the patsies, it starts at the top, #chuckschumermustgo‼️
You know who's worse the cowards who hide behind these weaklings, encouraging them from the shadows❗
-
🤬
-
Absolutely pathetic. Giving the Republicans exactly what they wanted. I'm done with the Democratic party.
-
Once again, the defenders of the Union are being led by George McClellan and Ambrose Burnside
-
You are mistaken. Listen to Heather Cox Richardson on this.
-
-
Traitors or cowards.
-
They look like bougie oligarchs to me. Anyone else?
-
But on the other hand, the Republicans don't care about people starving. They were never going to do the right thing. The shutdown could have lasted a year and they wouldn't have cared. At least this way, people will get money to buy food, and federal workers will be paid again.
-
All these people were chosen because they are retiring and can’t be primaried..
This is the handy work of Schummer and Dem leadership… Schummer and ALL Senate leaders need to go!! This is their handy work!!
-
Boooo. Tomato tomato 🍅🍅🍅
-
Just called him to let Sen. Kaine know, you can call and leave a message here: 1-202-224-4024 #1
-
The "roll over and pee on yourself" caucus
-
In most countries US ‘Democrats’ and Canadian ‘Liberals’ would be considered the fringe right pandering to their corporate overlords.
Yes; it’s better to vote Shit-Lite Party over Pure-Shit Party.
By can we have a choice that does not require voting for shit?
-
My biggest disappointment was Tim Kaine.
-
We're still calling Fetidman a Democrat?
-
-
That picture needs to be made into a doormat
-
Fetterman was predictable
-
Why ?????
-
Spineless MFers
-
Primary out the ones who are not retiring. Force out the ones who are retiring now and replace them with a temporary. That is how it should be.
All Americans who are not in Congress who do not do their job, get fired.
-
I'm not surprised by Fetterman. He's clearly lost his mind. I'm disgusted with the others.
-
Stupid is as stupid does
-
The deeply flawed thinking of the Surrender Caucus is a betrayal and capitulation on the order of Neville Chamberlain! 😠
-
Isnt it interesting how its always the old cunts that cave?
I wonder how many visits they made to Epstein...
-
I can’t wait to hear their excuses when they never get a vote and republicans start chipping away at social security. These eight traitors opened the door for the enemy.
-
Diverse young spry group
-
Are we allowed to call them traitors?
-
Vote them out!
-
And you know Schumer was ok with it in the background. Classic politics from the old guard.
-
The pussy caucus
-
Fetterman, you fucking douchebag!
-
-
FIGHT FOR US! DO NOT CAVE! Don't end shutdown without iron clad concessions to protect our healthcare.
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
-
The OPS!
-
the last thing our party needs is more joe manchins!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they fucking DISGUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what were they offered that made them do this? MONEY?????????????????????
-
Here’s to each one of them 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
-
The common thread here is generation- they're all Boomers (Fetterman is the youngest, at 58) who are part of the Old Guard Establishment democrats. I'd say we have a clear plan on whom to vote out.
-
The #Treacherous8 have the most pathetic excuses for their greed and collaboration. The GOP is already in the record for eliminating ACA, nothing new there; they did what they thought was right, well your moral and civic duties suffered for your cowardice. @schumer.senate.gov resign, worthless.
-
The #$hameful8 🤬
-
And the betrayal from Fetterman feels extra traitorous. We rallied behind him because he truly seemed to be Progressive. Fking liar.
-
The Democrat Senators who feel they made the right choice need to think about what the Republicans would have done in the same situation. For the GOP, it’s no longer about what’s best for the country, it’s all about what’s best for the polls, your party and yourself.
-
Good to see the faces of the piece of garbage humans that sold us all out. I wonder what they were “promised” in return.
-
The entire caucus is complicit- they’re just the ones who had to take the hit.
-
Time to march on their offices and homes.
-
I guess principles are in limited supply there...
-
Check their bank account. Check their calendars for who they met with the last week.
-
Karma is a boomerang and may it slam into the back of their heads when it returns.
-
Try as I do, I cannot understand a strategic plan here.
-
No one on this list surprises me, especially Fetterman. He ran as a Progressive but had been anything but one. I have to wonder how bad that stroke messed him up.
I met him and listened to him speaking as Lieutenant Governor here in PA. This is a different version of John Fetterman.
-
Fuckin' New Hampshire.
-
Weak fuc$s
-
As a Mainer I an appalled and deeply disgusted. And ashamed of our Senator who has failed in his duty.
-
Maybe we should phone the Baileys next time. I'd like to know what they are up to
-
@durbin.senate.gov @sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @rosen.senate.gov @senangusking.bsky.social @fetterman.senate.gov
Cowards and losers.
-
Idiots, one and all.
-
Fuck all of these traitors! 🖕🏻
-
I totally expected Disappointment Fetterman, but the others? Pure betrayal. They alone will be blamed for tripling of our monthly insurance premiums.
-
#SurrenderCaucus
-
Led by New Hampshire. Hey residents of NH, WTF?
-
Thanks for naming them instead of blaming all the Ds like so many others have been doing, giving the Rs blame diversion for their antics. These specific Ds, and all the Rs, should be voted out while the majority of Ds who stood their ground supported.
-
I beg to differ. Every single Democrat senator who isn't calling for Schumer's removal as minority leader is a member of the Surrender Caucus. These eight were just the designated scapegoats.
-
If they are not supporting us in the fight, they are against us in it.
When it comes to oligarchs and facists, there is NO making a deal with them.
-
More to the point, these are the eight people that enable Trump's narrative about it all being the Democrats fault.
-
I don’t agree. I think the Dems played their hand wisely. They ended the SNAP fund fiasco and will get credit for that. They have kicked the van into Johnson’s court. He must now swear in the waiting Dem. A vote will be taken on the Epstein files.
-
Old damaged people hurt normal Americans again.
-
Funny how none of them are up for reelection.
-
Call them the MAGA caucus. Just paint them as MAGA since they are doing MAGAs bidding anyway. Surrender implies these cucks are on our side. They arent.
-
-
Spineless weasels. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once again.
-
Primary every one of them.
-
A bunch of grandparents and Hodor
-
The usual suspects.
-
These are the only public members of the Quisling Caucus. There were more names floated yesterday but once they got to the magic number of 8, the rest could hide behind a no vote. We see you Chuck.
-
Time for them to go. Turncoats
-
Obama ran on Hope and Change. These 8 traitors show that there's virtually no hope that things will ever change. The entire system is corrupt.
-
Betrayal
-
I love the scent of primarying in the morning
-
COWARDS
-
I guarantee it was done with the blessing of Democrat leadership.
-
The kick in the ass is that I gave all of these people money for their campaigns.
Done doing that.
-
I strongly suspect that the so-called "surrender caucus" is actually much larger than the 8 Senators who appear on this list. The R's only needed 8 votes. For various reasons, this particular 8 were chosen has sacrificial lambs to provide political cover for others (Schumer) who supported the bill.
-
#TheCaveCaucus
-
I am so utterly disappointed in 4 of them. I could see the other ones folding. Unbelievable.
-
Losers
-
can reach voice mail for hassan on this 603-622-2204
-
Gee, all white. What a surprise.
-
None of whom are running for reelection, so they don’t care.
-
Well fetterman seems to be wishy washy! And the other Seven all folded like a cheap suit ! 🖕🏻🍊💩too
-
Somebody step up and primary these cowards.
-
Traitors
-
-
More likely the bribe caucus. They got something for this - probably nothing as incriminating as a freezer full of cash - they’re smarter than Menendez, but something.
-
Disgusting.
-
What deal? What did they get?
-
We know the republicans have no desire to cooperate. The point these 8 are making is don’t elect republicans unless you want chaos and confusion.
-
na, just the face of it
-
They need a new name. The Dumbocruds.
