House Democrats Furious That Their Senate Colleagues Are ‘Caving’ On Shutdown: ‘Unconditional Surrender!’ 2025

Balgarianovinite.com

A number of Democratic representatives on Sunday vented they do not support their Senate colleagues “caving” on a deal to end the government shutdown if it excludes an extension to Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Their irritation comes after Axios reported a deal was “within reach” to end the 40-day long government shutdown earlier in the day.

The report — citing sources from both parties — said that Senate Democrats are prepared to advance a package of bills to bring an end to the standoff. The procedural motion which would set up votes on these bills is expected to be supported by at least 10 Senate Democrats, per Axios — which adds that the deal would include a vote on extending Obamacare tax credits in December.

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) later told The New York Times he was optimistic a deal was “coming together” and that a test vote could be held on Sunday night.

If that’s the case, a number of Democrats in the House said they would be upset if an agreement is reached without an Obamacare extension.

Here are some of the posts from Dems making their displeasure known:

Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-MI) said “caving” on healthcare would “fail” working families.

MAGA forced a health care affordability crisis on Michigan families. After $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts and gutting the ACA, insurance premiums are out of control and people can’t get basic care.

We urgently need a bipartisan budget with real solutions to fix these costs and… https://t.co/ZcHjydcHyG

Similarly, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) said “caving now makes no sense.”

I won’t support a shutdown deal that fails to extend ACA subsidies that make health care more affordable for working Americans. Democrats have fought hard to protect working families — caving now makes no sense.

And Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) also said she was against “caving on a deal” that doesn’t “fix” healthcare. “Hold the line,” she urged.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies. https://t.co/w1UYTZdLb6

Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) said agreeing to the current framework would be like “trading something for nothing.”

Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.

Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-PA) said he was not interested in a “pinky promise” that Republicans will make a more comprehensive deal down the line.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.

The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) ripped the “so-called ‘deal’” and said he would vote “no” on it. Without Obamacare subsidies, he said, it is nothing more than an “unconditional surrender.”

If this is the so-called 'deal,' then I will be a no.

That’s not a deal. It’s an unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double. https://t.co/3x2n1zKXbm

Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), meanwhile, said she is a “no” vote — and if you believe this is a deal, she has a “bridge to sell you.”

If people believe this is a “deal,” I have a bridge to sell you. I’m not going to put 24 million Americans at risk of losing their health care. I’m a no. https://t.co/iDnXTZUand

Some liberal senators have indicated they feel the same way too.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said making such a deal would be a “mistake,” according to Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio. He also reported Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-MA) said there “might” be a vote on it; the senator said he was also skeptical that President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) were “gonna do anything” to get a deal done.
