Blue states redistricting to keep elections fairly competitive in the face of Trump actively trying to rig the 2026 & 2028 elections in all the red states IS democratic! For those in other blues states, tell your own state govs to fight the rig by redrawing their own maps to take more blue seats!

Name them.

It’s time for new leadership in Washington, leadership that puts you over corporate special interests. That’s why I’m so grateful to have the support of End Citizens United as we work to fix this democracy and put government back on the side of the people.

I think we need younger politicians who actually care about people

Voting is the only way to get these ppl out. Dont stop voting. That’s quitting on all your neighbors and the younger generations, why would we do that? It’s not just about us.

This is the conclusion my husband and I reached. Maine is our Senator and we know him peripherally through friends. We think they take the hit, other Dems can wail and gnash their teeth publicly, people get paychecks and food and the Dems try to get subsidies worked out. Now, to be clear, I don’t

It is really too much of a coincidence to believe that they'd ALL be retiring or newly elected. You think we are clueless fools, Lame Duck Chuck?

I think that these 8 Senators are falling on the sword for Schumer and other Senators who wanted the shutdown to end. This allows the majority of Senators to save face; and only retiring or not up for reelection Senators take the heat. It’s a ruse.

I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

He’s been awful. He’s my Senator too. Since he’s retiring I guess he doesn’t care. At least @duckworth.senate.gov is holding.

I’ve asked my senators Hickenlooper and Bennett (Colorado) to put forth a bill requiring all members of Congress buy their healthcare coverage on the ACA portals. The Colorado portal is a nightmare, doesn’t communicate with the private insurers well if at all, and the packages they offer are

HEADLINE: New Hampshire is 25% of the problem

Eight Democrats just bent the knee to Trump, risking millions of Americans’ healthcare. This is a bad deal and Democrats need to be willing to fight and stand up to this authoritarian regime, no matter how painful that may be.

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally. If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

Would love to see some reporting on how the airline lobby put on the pressure.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

The most dangerous people you can be spending time around at this point, are those who say, "I'll never quit fighting," but then, the moment something "bad" happens...instantly step into, "OMG. We're f*cked. It's all over." These people are like poison to your mind and emotions. Stay away.

Republicans dont do anything they dont want to do regardless of how it looks.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

They’ve already paid one of the petitioners to recind their signature for the release of Epstein files.

Traitors. Johnson already told you he won’t let the house vote on the subsidies. @senangusking.bsky.social @peters.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov @rosen.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov

If you believe it was just 8 senators I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. This was a Schumer operation.

Yep...the Dems are down with the same Oligarchic "let them eat shit" mindset.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Nancy Mace will flip

Yall know you’ve been played and are still doing it. Wait til 2028, those of us left alive won’t forget. @senangusking.bsky.social @peters.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov @rosen.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Our healthcare is not internal recimations. Make Senators pay out of pocket for all their healthcare. No health insurance for them!

The petition had garnered widespread fears that the court could overturn its precedent on same-sex marriage.
