"The Democratic Party at the leadership level has really just become entirely feckless," said the progressive US Senate candidate running to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

In addition to doing nothing to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits, the bill lacks language “saying that Trump has to spend the money,” The American Prospect‘s David Dayen lamented.

“He can keep withholding funds, and even rescind them with a party-line vote,” Dayen added. “None of the problems that inspired the shutdown are resolved.”

Schumer personally voted against the legislation, which progressives dismissed as a face-saving maneuver.

It is time to take the trash out.

      When does Fetterman 1 get next firmware update?

      Also Fetterman 1 was bought by AIPAC from early on and pathetically AIPAC is trying to sabotage Platner by trying to get the label of Fetterman 2 to stick on him. What a disgusting, empty way to engage with politics and power.

      Lmao, this is almost defamation against Fetterman! He may have changed his whole personality after his stroke, but at least he wasn’t a former mercenary with a totenkopf tattoo.

        Interesting how the stroke makes a resurgence in the media a few days ago and now social media is full of mentions to it

          That’s called a frequency illusion, you saw something and now you are noticing mentions of that thing everywhere. Isn’t the human mind amazing! I have a friend who thinks the number 42 is stalking her.

          Anywho, I don’t know how you can forget that Fetterman was a progressive who stroked out and came back a republican. He still has an audio processing disorder from it.

              They totally do, obviously. But, I don’t know what to tell you, if a person is so stupid they don’t see people mentioning Fetterman’s stroke based heel turn since it happened, it says more about that person. If you didn’t notice, you might either not be paying attention, or you are being purposefully obtuse, no one forgot Fetterman’s conservative stroke. Are you an aussie? That would def explain it.

              These comments are the same comments I’ve been seeing on posts mentioning Fetterman for years. People hate John Fetterman. I’m also people.
