Your all or nothing judgment and approach to governing sounds like how the other party works.

We're a thoughtful governing party, which is why

-- SNAP benefits to 42 million Americans were increased in the Sen. bill that now goes to the House, which had to throw its failed bill out,
-- 4,000 federal workers got their jobs back with back pay, and
-- stopgap funding for much of the government until January 30, 2026,
-- full-year appropriations for certain programs & agencies such as the USDA and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, through the end of fiscal year 2026.
-- Dems forced Republicans to now have to return to work and Johnson will have to swear in the new Arizona Representative.
-- Dems got 271 Repubs to stop the cancellations of holiday flights

Lawrence has the invaluable experience, insight, and wisdom to understand the nuances and intricacies of the Democratic Senators making this strategic decision.

WE Democrats did all that in the face of Republican laziness and societal indifference.
