So the Dem #CaveCaucus aren't even getting a real vote out of their surrender:
♦️Without a House vote, any Senate vote is meaningless.
♦️And without at least 4 GOP crossovers, a Senate vote is meaningless too.

Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

The #CaveCaucus got Thune to promise he'd pay them Tuesday for a hamburger today all the while knowing that Mike Johnson is holding Thune's wallet and is never going to pay the debt. Pathetic.

I have not seen one positive response to this. If there are voters who live in any of these #cavecaucus senators’ states they should be overwhelming their offices and phone lines.

Not just Schumer - the entire Senate Democratic caucus - own his cowardice and his fecklessness as long as they keep him on as their Leader.
As long as #SurrenderSchumer is “in charge” they are all part of the #cavecaucus.

Dems that voted for the shutdown deal. I don’t think they have what it takes for the moment we’re in and we know Fetterman’s a traitor.

Bob Kuttner's latest on the shutdown is brutal on the Senate Cave Caucus. He also has some reporting on the House, where nearly all Democrats will oppose this and maximize pressure on Mike Johnson to find the votes.

The Trump administration on Monday said it still wants the Supreme Court to block lower court decisions requiring it to pay full food assistance benefits to about 42 million Americans who rely on the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.

This is true: The #CaveCaucus are certainly sheltering some of their colleagues who are similarly eager to surrender-- but too cowardly to say so in public.
The person who deserves the most blame is Schumer. He either orchestrated this, or was too weak a leader to stop it.
Either way: #RetireChuck

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

♦️This isn't really about Obamacare: Nobody is dumb enough to believe that scheduling a meaningless vote is a real concession.
♦️It MAY all be about the filibuster.
Dems SHOULD let GOP nuke the filibuster. But Schumer & the Surrender 8 are too timid for that.

The Cave Caucus is made up of retiring senators or those who won’t face primaries for years.
