Heidi Li FeldmanFolks, it doesn’t matter that Schumer voted “no”. He got the Dem caucus on board with caving. THEN the caucus figured out who should vote yes to provide cover for D Sens up for reelection in 2026, who might have been in serious danger of being primaried. As for the retiring D Senators, doing their colleagues this favor now serves their interest in post-retirement lobbying access and influence. 1/
Janis@heidilifeldman They didn't "cave." They made a political gesture and won the election. It worked.
What we know now is that most of the actual US wants working class people to have access to affordable health care. We the people want that.
We need to pack the primaries with Mamdani's. Whomever does that will win.
