Yeah, I was one of those irate callers. Kaine is my Senator but he no longer enjoys my support. I consider him a traitor.

I agree with all of these comments. And I thought the dem “leaders “ ( now there’s a laugh) had actually learned something after years of worse and worse results. Too bad I and so many others were wrong. Rage is exactly what the party “leaders” rare going to get instead of money. Make direct contributions to righteous candidates and that means those who are not taking corporate money. Or any AIPAC money. Or any party officials who have not publicly stated they oppose any weapons sales to Israel and that Israel is guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide. And Wasn’t it interesting that all the cowards had all taken money from the same corporate group. These people cannot be trusted ever again. I am not going to give any money to any fundraising group controlled by any members of the DNC or any top party officials.

When the very Democratic Party is supposed to be fighting with a backbone and there seems to be spineless members who will cave when the going gets tough is a good sign to get rid of such weak leadership and replace them immediately. The fighting is not over there is still a chance to stop the opening of the government! We all just have to fight the good fight all the way! By this very reason is why we have candidates like Mamdani being voted in for a radical change to fight against Trump and Republicans!!!

My dear brothers and sisters of America let

Me first apologise as most ordinary citizens of America are so gullible especially when they know they might get $2000/- check coming their way this is a way of buying votes and support for Trump and Republicans. The best stupidity is this! Trump extorts money by tariffs

From the very citizens of America and then pays them the very money he took from them saying he is giving them money! I hope the citizens of America can realise this how they are being played!!!

And let's just make a note for ourselves. Every single member of Congress, except for the leaders, makes $174,000 a year, has absolutely free top-tier healthcare for the rest of their lives. I'm pretty sure they get their salary for the rest of their lives. And these who caved and the others corporate Democrats as we're calling them now, have gotten millions of dollars from APEC. And this is about Israel, this is about Russia. We don't mean a thing. Also please note, the level to which AI has risen has obviated the need for many kinds of even white-collar laborers. Well now, while labor of any sort is absolute slavery, remember that laborers in the field and all this they'll have slave labor from the camps, they have slave labor from the prisons which is why the prisons are there and now they're going to have robots at quality to do the back-breaking labor that they can't have anyone else do. You think they need any of us to be alive?

Someone has to pay the bills. That’s us. Millions and millions paying the taxes that run this huge country. If we stick together, have. Each others back we can decide the future we want. AI will be dangerous . Use it for science, nothing else. Humans brain weighs all the nuances when making decisions of human well being . We must never let a computer decide our lives

💩 that's what I figured.

However we can inundate all their offices in their states with calls and faxes. The annoying screach of faxes will be music to my ears.

It's all over the news. 8 Democrats found it was in their best interest to side with the Republicans to open the government. This was a prime example of "taking the high road" that comes across not only as stale and hollow, but in this case, ends the only leverage the Dems have with no House or Senate majority.

To me, this is catastrophic for subsidized insurance, as most will go up at a minimum of 300 dollars a month. They needed this leverage. Its his administration and was on him. He wasnt coming to the table or "getting in the same room" as some found footage show him being interviewed about a previous government shutdown years ago.

Now, you have zero leverage, dented any midterm continuity going into next year and gives him the win and his obnoxious bragging...while allowing him to pound the people that need those subsidies for vital medical care, essentially taking away their health insurance withjbthe ACA platform.

Choose who you support wisely moving forward because these "8" took it upon themselves to initiate this disastrous result withiurbthe blessing of the other members of their party and surely their constituents.
