Saw this just a few minutes ago off Reddit and I was unsurprised.
Elected Republicans, and voting Republicans because this is what they voted for, hate the average person so much that they want them to die. They feel emboldened enough to start doing it on an industrial scale.

all those very wealthy lawmakers have no concept of what regular people deal with everyday…specially having full government health care and retirement which regular folk no longer have

Thanks Chuck!

Now that the government shutdown fiasco is behind them, Republicans will just continue lying about their commitment to a “better” healthcare plan, or instead of universal healthcare, the GOP will push for universally privatizing health care.
Despite what Republicans might argue about “trusting the market,” this will only lead to things like more profit seeking and denied claims, skyrocketing premiums and healthcare costs, unequal access to services and *less* accessibility to care for low-income individuals and families, hospital shutdowns, and among other things, a lot more dead poor people.
Not to mention how this will also translate into lax regulations and lack of oversight, transparency and accountability, and of course made possible by more discreet lobbying, the lining of pockets and a growing number of conflicts of interest.
I’m also still waiting for the Trump healthcare plan that was promised in two weeks from now… Eight years ago
There’s no “plan.” There’s not even a “concept of a plan.” Instead, we’re getting empty promises and political charades from an administration and Republican party that’s trying desperately to divert attention away from Trump’s utter mishandling of the economy and the consequences of his tariff policies and his big ugly bill.
Trump’s agenda is exploding the national debt and deficit while Republicans are locking in higher healthcare costs and cuts to Medicaid and food assistance that don’t even begin to remotely offset the costs of Trump’s other policies like tax breaks and incentives for the rich/corporations and his excessive spending on national security and military interventionism both at home and abroad.

Who will present Chuck Schumer with the “fell for it again” award?
>a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, **stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions** (such as religion, the family, and **class structure**), and preferring gradual development to abrupt change
>specifically **:** such a philosophy calling for […] **individual financial responsibility for personal needs** (such as retirement income and **health care coverage**)
The *sole* value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one’s perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.
To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on the bottom [of social hierarchy] to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top. The first greatest injustice is for those on top to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom.
“Know your place” is their mantra.

So extending them would’ve cost around $350B *over a decade*. That’s $35B/ yr.
But, they just approved a $50B increase for Defense spending for one year. (Bringing it up to $900B.)

Great job Chuck! Should have kept fighting.

My heating bill is double what it was last year. My grocery bills are up almost 30%. My health insurance premiums might triple.
I wonder who is to blame?

If you are against primarying either Jeffries or Schumer, you’re either an idiot or complicit in the fascist oligarchic destruction of America.

Three questions need to be answered by every Dem running for Senate in 2026 and 2028:
– Do you support ending the filibuster?
– Do you support expanding SCOTUS (under a new president)?
– Will you vote for Chuck Schumer as Leader?
The answers must be yes, yes, and hell fucking no.

But they pinky swore! The Democrats that voted to end the shutdown are so stupidly weak to think that modern day republicans will hold their word to any handshake agreement

Republicans actively working to kill their voters.

and this is why the democrats shouldnt have caved in the first place. we all saw this coming but no both sides want to screw everyone instead

Was that worth shutting the government down for 40+ days? All for nothing. They should have stood their ground. We all understood the hurt and also understand what’s at stake.
So now they get to take away health care from Americas most vulnerable, all to fund tax credits for Billionaires. god I hate this timeline. And the deficit is rising to insurmountable point. What happens when the U.S. defaults on a payment?

This was always going to be the result. Democrats backed down and got absolutely nothing for doing so…. Again. Republicans gave them the vote because they knew it would fail
