Schumer has magical thinking that IF we have 60 plus Senators in '29, we can get shit done. We DID have 60 Senators in '09, but that included Lieberman, Konrad, Baucus, Manchin, and other obstructionists. That's why we didn't have the #PublicOption that Obama campaigned on.
If you’re serious about ending the filibuster — and almost everything depends on it — you have to change that: you have to start identifying supporters and opponents, get them on the record. And you have to start doing it today because if you don’t you’ll roll into 2029 in the exact same situation.
The Filibuster Runs Deep. Very Deep.

Yet you couldn't get the Dem caucus there for the vote? Not an auspicious sign of your "leadership" as Speaker.
Oh, and America wants #MedicareForAll. We start with a #PublicOption as well as restoring ACA premium support for those who still want to be ruled over by insurance companies.

Here's How Many Bernie Sanders Supporters Ultimately Voted For Trump
Yes, Bernie Sanders supporters who voted for President Trump could have cost Hillary Clinton the election. But then, about the same share of Republican primary voters defected to Clinton.

As #MedicareForAll is back in the debate - if a #PublicOption had been left in the ACA, with Medicare eligibility age moved by 2 years annually (down from 65, up from 18), we’d’ve had MFA 4 years ago. Private insurance would’ve had 12 years to adapt/wind-down.

Hey big American corporations. You backed employer-based coverage and a watered-down #ACA instead of a #PublicOption or #MedicareForAll. Now premiums, deductibles, and payroll contributions rise every year. Open enrollment means less care and higher costs.
People want more affordable health insurance, not a savings account.
This is just a Republican bait-and-switch to repeal Obamacare for the 70th time.
Let’s get serious — extend the health care tax credits and open the government.
