News: USA Today | Progressive group calls for Sen. Chuck Schumer to resign “Chuck Schumer should step down as Senate Minority Leader immediately... If he secretly backed this surrender and voted 'no' to save face, he’s a liar. If he couldn’t keep his caucus in line, he's inept. Either way, he’s proven incapable of leading the fight to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. The country can’t afford his failed leadership any longer.”
Dems Must Now Back Away From This Deal Today Mike Johnson REFUSED TO COMMIT to an ACA vote in the House. This is the linchpin of the "deal". The key concession, and the GOP is already, BEFORE THE FINAL VOTES in the Senate, RENEGING on the deal. This is simple. The substantive Senate votes are still ahead. The GOP has already violated the deal. The Dems must now back away. View quoted note →
GOP RENEGS ON SHUTDOWN DEAL If any of the traitorous eight need a reason to flip back, here it is: "Democratic... senators who caved to support the Republicans’ continuing resolution Sunday claimed that they'd MANAGED TO SECURE A HOUSE VOTE on a bill ensuring the continuance of Affordable Care Act subsidies... Johnson WOULDN'T EVEN COMMIT to the vote Monday as reporters shouted after the fleeing Republican with questions about his plans." @npub1ejmn...g9td image
This is the epitome of cowardice. While much anger should be directed at the traitorous eight. A very special place in history should be reserved for this quisling. image
