  1. We don't really know because there was horse trading in the caucus to decide who would take the hits for the team — no one really knows where any Dem senator stands

    It would violate caucus discipline but someone needs to spill on who really wanted to cave and who didn't

  2. Sadly, only Shaheen is up for re-election in 2026. This vote was a career-defining moment and they failed.

  3. I'm thinking that maybe Dems need to stop rescuing the right wing from feeling the pain of their voting habits. Let people lose their health care then run on restoring ACA subsidies & expanding health care access. Right wingers are on the edge of destroying America bc they've never learned anything!

  4. Many of them are retiring so they don't have to worry about getting reelected...

  5. This is a key list. Democrats are pissed off but will only have more respect for those that led the charge on ACA. Expect @aoc.bsky.social to become senate leader at some point. It’s also increasingly clear what democrats stand for & who the traitors are

    Will the House now open and vote on Epstein?

  6. Even when Federal workers and military were not getting paid and the poor were not receiving SNAP benefits the Democratic senators didn't cave. No, they caved when chaos at the airports during Thanksgiving might inconvenience the flying public. You can't get more elitist than this.

  7. After all the work , all the money , the time spent fighting for what's right they stab us in the back ? These MFs have no idea the rage we all feel right now

  8. Democrats constantly undermine their constituents. They peel off in blocs to approve unfit GOP nominees. These eight ‘Heroes’ didn't concoct this vote. This is top-down subterfuge engineered to appease DNC corporate donors. Pathetic capitulation that will injure (20) million people.

  9. And the TOTALLY WORTHLESS Chuck Schumer!!!

    I wish I lived in ANY of these idiots states so I could proudly vote them out!!!

  10. This is the end of the democratic party. A party with members like this is not for the people at all. They just gave away healthcare. Fuck every one of these centrist pieces of shit who capitulated. Never again will I put an ounce trust into this party of fascist complicit trash.

  11. I’m surprised by Kaine, but he has more federal workers in Virginia than anyone else - so, surprised but not surprised. I’m taking names and pissed at every single one of them. Futterman is trying to be the new Manchin.

  12. Fetterman predictable Fucking Dems 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    Just when you think the Dems got it they bend over 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    Fucking cowards .how are we supposed to defeat trump with such shitty leadership ??

  13. Six that are proving they are too old to be there. One that would rather hang with Lara Trump and the last who thinks she has to cave because she her state is purple. Regarding the last, she continues to make the wrong bet!

  14. In Canada when a bill doesn’t pass there a vote of no confidence then there an election then politicians job are at risk the government keeps working and getting paid.

  15. What's the phone number for the switch board? I'm spittin' mad at my Senator Durbin. That dick head. They were so close.

  16. I guess Health Insurance for the American people is not important for them. Just think if Fetterman didnt have health insurance (that we paid for), where he would be. DEAD! Which is what the GOP wants for us. Less people, less $ and more in their corrupt pockets

  17. These 8 are going to learn quickly they were played. Time to vote them out in the primaries

  18. I'm really sorry to everyone about Fetterman. He had everyone in PA fooled into thinking he was a Dem when we voted for him.

  19. The Republicans are going to murderl thousands of children and 8 Democrats are the reason why.

    A Republican's word in 2025 has less value than a Nazi's word in 1939.

    Those 8 Democrats just elected JD Vance President 3 years early.

  20. We need more candidates. Dems need to start finding candidates that have a chance to fire Warner and Kaine. We need to start now.

  21. Im fine letting this play out over the next year leading up to the midterms and not getting caught up in this particular moment. Affordable healthcare will be a great issue to run on if the Republicans stonewall progress on it. I feel like ultimately there aren't "winners" in a shutdown.

  22. Chuck Schumer had a part in this, too. It was his job to keep people in line. He needs to be replaced, too. Everyone on this list needs to go.

  23. I will remember. I will donate to primary each of them. People are hungry and suffering and they capitulate with no guarantee of anything that alleviates the suffering. Add Schumer to the list. He's out of his league with no idea how to organize and motivate the Democrats. Turncoats all.

  24. In December, when they have the vote to extend the ACA tax credits, the Republicans are going to vote no, it’s in Project 2025they are going to get rid of it.

  25. Fetterman was totally expected. Kaine and the others,… total disappointment!

    They are all on their way out and won’t be coming back!!!

  26. We are all outraged. Every single one of these people are being ratioed on their accounts. You would think that they might have listened to us, rather than selling us out and passing the buck to their own colleagues in the House. Unbelievable. Outrageous. Shameful.

  27. These people GAVE YOUR HEALTH INS. CREDITS AWAY on Sun. in exchange for a promise for a vote on it in Dec.

    Schumer has to go to in 28 because he's NO LEADER ANYMORE!

    Pay them ALL back by VOTING THEM OUT!

  28. And Schumer. He let these guys take the heat for him, and do what he wanted. Not even enough guts to vote for what he agreed to. He has to go.

  29. It would be a much shorter list and easier to remember if we list our supporters instead.

  30. Fuck everyone of those sell outs. And one more thing, Chuck Schumer. Kick his useless ass to the curb! I am so pissed at these Senators I could spit nails. People need to let those gullible rubes hear it.

  31. Fetterman is the new Sinema and Manchin rolled into 1 piece of garbage.

    PA will never vote for him again

  32. Dems understood that trump only wanted to destroy the signature achievement of Obama..the ACA. He would demand keeping the house closed until Americans starve to death to get his revenge. Period. This was never about ‘the budget’ Understanding how SICK he is, is key. I get it . Mic drop….

  33. It’s all of them. These 8 agreed to be the face of it, but it’s all of the Democrats. Couldn’t have happened without Schumer and the majority agreeing.

  34. I can still vote Democrat and I can still work on campaigns, but I am changing by party affiliation tomorrow to Independent.. I am done with the Democrats. Jumping off the donkey! 💔🇺🇸

  35. NH , how could you both ? Remember saying this “ Senators Shaheen and Hassan, has repeatedly condemned the Republican budget reconciliation bill, which they refer to as the "big betrayal". What were you promised ? Extreme betrayal my ass !

  36. They need to go. Every cowardly one of them. By fixing it, they made this a Democratic shutdown. WTF???? All the suffering of so many for these pieces of shit to sell us out? Beyond disgusted.

  37. 8 people chose white supremacy that only protects rich white men because it was easy for them.

    History will tell the story about who, why, what, where, when, and how America collapsed like Rome, Spain, and Britain did.

    Hope we live to tell but w/out affordable medical care...

  38. Two are not seeking reelection and the rest of them their terms are not up in 2026 so that looks like an inside job

  39. But, but, but the reps promised to take up the health care issue once the government opened. Just like in September they said they were going to bring out the Epstein files soon so there was no point in signing the petition. OMG, are the files out??? Did I miss that story??? 🤬

  40. And Schumer. He literally rallied these eight yes votes and then performatively voted no. The only lesson he learned from last time was not to be one of the votes. Remember when he voted away our ability to filibuster the big beautiful bill. No he was there in this meeting as a willing participant.

  41. Durbin & Rosen were the big surprises, they know better. The others are known idiots constantly flip flopping spinelessly. But apparently they’re retiring from Congress so they’re willing to kneel to the devil on their way out the door. Sadly, not soon enough.

  42. What good would holding out another 30, 60, 90 days do? The Rs are in the majority and already proved they're willing to blow everything up. We can paint this as losing or as effectively communicating the elimination of the subsidies is clearly the fault of the Republicans. I choose the latter...

  43. Vote them out people!!! Make them pay for their sins.
    Shame the ones that are retiring too. Why??? Why??? This makes no sense. I get Fetterman because he’s simply not well. The others need to explain themselves. Time to pick up the phone and torture them.

  44. Call the other senator from those states and let them know that if Schumer doesn’t go you will consider them complicit. Call your local party and your Rep. and ask them to issue a press release calling for Schumer to go.

    Don’t take any excuse. They all share in this.

  45. Sick of the NH delegation, since January. Lack of savvy, or just too moderate? What are they thinking?

  46. That’s an awfully short list. I can assure you Warner, for example, should be on it. As he’s up for reelection, Kaine had to play the heavy.

    Did they think they could fool us with that little farce?

  48. Actually now that they explained it, it's a VERY smart move.

    SNAP gets full year funding, workers back to work, no riffs...AND

    we get laser focus on HEALTHCARE funding. They will force Rs to vote on just the subsidies for the middle class during the holidays when families gather. Brilliant tactic

  49. I know I will be attacked for this. Since Jan 20, Federal Employees and their families have been traumatized the most. They wake up every morning not knowing if they are still employed. The majority of these people voted for the joyful lady. They are well aware that if it is left up to the GOP

  50. Durbin's cave makes me ashamed to admit I reside in IL and sent an e-mail letting him know my thoughts.

  51. Well, there is only one honorable thing Durbin can do…

    Resign immediately and allow Pritzker to appoint a Democracy Warrior in his place…

    Someone who will fight with their last breath for our Constitution and Freedoms.

  52. Dont forget @schumer.senate.gov bc he’s a crappy ‘leader’. With Senators like these who’d fold bc they’d faint at the sight of a paper cut,why would US want them on the front line fighting when they can’t even ‘hold the line’ if they hear the guy in front of them cry. Vote them Senate Dems OUT!

  53. This wasn’t a sell out, it was good optics. For the next year, there’s NO scenario where the Dems get anything they want. What’s necessary now is optics, and these are bad optics for the GOP. The ACA premiums are going up, no matter what, but now people can eat. Let the GOP vote down the extension.

  55. Shame on you. Choke on your blood money you hypocritical sycophants. Food banks every. This bipartisan BS is a smoke screen for your criminal behavior. AIPAC isn't going to help you for votes... I'm also looking into impeachment for you.

  56. Never forget who got us into this situation a year ago, when enough voters either cast protest votes or stayed home to give 🍊 the White House and control of the Senate and House.
    CONTROL of the Senate and House! The Republicans are causing this pain, because they control government!

  59. I must have misunderstood.I thought Dems were trying to orchestrate a public vote to show which gop representatives were happy with stripping ACA subsidies,and then in October before midterms another publicized vote to show once again how gop doesn’t care about their constituents.

  60. We weren’t sold out Republicans were willing to starve Americans and damage the economy and democrats were not. If a plane crashed tomorrow who wins?

  61. Fetterman? I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you. Well... not that shocked. At this point he's practically a Republican in blue drag.
