Cool, so they caved and literally accomplished nothing. Just a big fucking waste of time and republicans didn't even have to make a single compromise.
The 8 who caved:
+Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
-Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois
+Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
-Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
+Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia
-Sen. Angus King of Maine
+Sen. Jacky Rosen of Nevada
-Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Please, these are just the volunteers who either have years until reelection or are retiring. We know they are just a front because Warner voted yes and then mysteriously changed his vote to no. Couldn't be because his reelection is coming up next year. No way.
As a Nevada resident I’m extremely disappointed and embarrassed.
More than nothing. They caused a lot of people distress and anxiety. Maybe put some people into debt.
They also gained a heavy blue turnout in the last election then immediately capitulate as planned.
Fucking assholes.
And to top it all off trump now gets to go around shouting about how "The Leftist Dems cancelled your food stamps"
Which he was gonna do anyway but the Dems relenting makes them look a whole lot worse
Traitors
exactly, once Dems decided on action it should have been all in I was against Dems forcing shutdown due to cost of living issues there and long term impact but the polls say most approve of action.
It's terrible that people have gone through what they have, but now everyone who went through that (and will still until things get better) did it for absolutely nothing. Brilliant.
(schumer wasn’t the defector this time)
Ah yes, the rotating villains. Yes they switch around now and then. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
In the end, eight broke off on Sunday night to side with Republicans and allow the measure to advance: Mr. [Angus] King, Mr. [Tim] Kaine and Senators Dick Durbin of Illinois; John Fetterman of Pennsylvania; Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen, both of New Hampshire; and Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, both of Nevada.
The DINOS that were trying to keep hidden before, aside from fetterman.
He only organized it and voted against it to save face. Totally innocent.
Fuck Schumer into his grave.
Nothing is final. They are voting on, voting, and then the Senate has to debate it. After that the House must come back into session to also approve it. And that means a vote on releasing the Epstein files. No one has won yet, and we are not open again.
I don't understand all the intricate details of Congressional voting rules, but do we know for sure that the House has to come back into session to vote? Is there some weird procedural thing they can do to technically vote but not have to swear-in Grijalva?
Legislation that passes in one chamber must be unchanged to pass in the other. Any changes must go back to the other chamber to get passed again. Not sure about any work arounds that don't follow this. And if the Gov is reopened, there is no longer a reason to have the House out of session, they just lost their excuse.
the legislation allocates $203.5 million for enhanced security and protection for members of Congress, and $852 million for the US Capitol Police.
Yay... We did it.
They know EXACTLY what they are doing. They KNOW that we will be pissed at being swindled and RAPED by these crooks but now they have tons of armed guards.
Sure would be a shame if a crowd of several thousand people rounded up every politician into the streets for a little discussion. remind them of who they work for.
Democrats were literally rolling on a much needed win this past week and then yesterday 8 of "them" decided "nah fam, we can't let that momentum to continue to roll"
Christ on a cracker someone check their bank accounts and/or driveways for new cars. And of course Fetterman is one of them.
Trump tomorrow: 'see? It was them all along! They could've done this a month ago!'
Dems: '...'
Schumer negotiated the whole deal. They plan it so they can "vote their conscience" to look good for their record as long as they know it'll go the way they want it to.
When the status quo party can't even maintain the status quo
You can just say conservatives.
Fuck Chuck Schumer
