To fight and fight hard.

No harm in calling them, though.

It would indeed be monumentally stupid and hurt so many people. Hopefully the Democrats are not caving and do not give Trump a massive victory and boost to his popularity, which he will gloat about for weeks while killing the most vulnerable people in society.

Caving with no compromise should not even be a possibility. It would be absolutely brain dead.

I basically wanted to say pretty much the same thing, but my words would've been a lot harsher which probably would've earned me a post removal, but you said it much more diplomatically.

I would have thought that, by now, we'd all be a bit more skeptical.

I hope I'm right about it and will be sorely disappointed if it turns out to be true.

and it seems that some are pushing what the con and the Republicans want the narrative to be.

There are so very few sources I trust at this point.

But Hakeem Jeffries said today that House Democrats will not pass any legislation that only offers a future discussion on health care prices. Any such legislation will be DOA.

This exactly! They all just want the "breaking news!!11" and "Dems in disarray."

And, of course, too many on social media want to knee jerk hate Democrats.

it would not be DOA.

Our best hope is that at least several R representatives realize that they will lose if they vote for something that eliminates the subsidies.

This is the kind of thing trump, miller etc would gleefully spread around.

And we're supposed to believe anything he says?
He just got caught making up a lie about working with Trump in DC while Trump was actually in Florida.
Nothing he says should be taken as fact.

I see no Democrats stepping up, even Fetterman.

are having their phones blowing up right about now, I called my Sen., Kelly, to voice my opinion and then I called Sen. Schumer's office and did the same thing.

If this is the typical repub. attempt at a rat fuck, I feel for these Sen.

I'm reading reports on Bluesky of people screaming and cursing at their senators. I'm still waiting to hear from a D Senator who says they are voting for this, rather than Redneck Mullin and a few other RWNJs.

they're pretty well known for this, but it still doesn't hurt to call and respectfully leave an opinion.

do?

TY

Mahalo!

Yeah, that'll get it all worked out........

Marsha “Ms. Hair” Blackburn or Bill “Worthless Tool” Hagerty.

to see a democracy in this country ever again.

I call senators and congressmen a lot and it is always a good thing when I hear that the politicians' voice mail/messages is full.

This leads me to believe that not enough people are calling and expressing their opinions to Schumer.

Pleeeeeeaaaaaase call him!!!!! +1 (202) 224-6542.

because Democrats, even the jellyfish among them, are not in a caving sort of mood, not after last Tiesday confirmaed the fact that America by and large isn't buiying that Republican pack of lies about the shutdown.

"Aw, go ahead and tun that story. It's worked in the past, the American people are really stupid, they'll buy it again."

It's why I knew the NYT was nothing but fishwrap 50 years ago.

I hope it's just the usual media "Dems in disarray" pile on.

But again - the caveats are "the vote", and then if what they have isn't what the House passed, then it HAS to go BACK to the House that Johnson refuses to call into session in order to stifle the Epstein discharge petition and it will really put the pressure on him to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Cry bag about not having the votes then give votes away when they have some leverage.
