Final list of actual votes:
Catherine Cortez Masto
Jacky Rosen
Maggie Hassen
Jeanne Shaheen (retiring)
Angus King
John Fetterman
Tim Kaine
Dick Durbin (retiring)

[Fiendish Thingy]

1. Primary them all

Bookmarking to send money to their primary opponents.

[MIButterfly]

2. Gary Peters and John Fetterman don't surprise me.

I never liked Gary Peters; the good news is that he's retiring. Good riddance!

[Wiz Imp]

65. Peters isn't on the list

[MIButterfly]

81. When I read the post last night, he was on it.

It was later edited to take him off.

I'm more surprised he didn't vote with the Republicans, to tell you the truth.

I still don't like him and am glad he's retiring.

[Bavorskoami]

28. Shaheen isn't going to run again

Shaheen has announced her retirement,
King is an Independent whose term runs through 2030 at which time he will be 86 years old.
Baldwin and Rosen seats are also not due up for election until 2030.
Fetterman, Hassan, and Kelly seats are not due up for election until 2028.
Only Ossof, Durbin, and Peters are due up next year. Have at 'em if you think it will help us regain the majority in the Senate.

[Wiz Imp]

66. Durbin and Peters have both already announced they are not running in 2028

It would be suicide to primary Ossoff. He's the only Democrat who could win that seat.

[still-prayin4rain]

3. Mark Kelly? Are you sure? On edit: Kelly was a no.

[TBF]

6. Yes - and he's hearing it from Bluesky members

He posts about SNAP and releasing Epstein files, but nothing about ACA. It's about time senators get the same healthcare that we do - then maybe they wouldn't be so quick to sell us out.

[misanthrope]

78. The problem there is that most senators are so well off

that they could afford upper level healthcare on their own.

[TBF]

83. Then we DEFINITELY shouldn't be paying for them. nt

[angrychair]

11. Based on what I've seen

Here is the BlueSky link

[Rebl2]

40. Not surprised

[Ars Longa]

4. Sens. Ossoff and Baldwin are super Disappointing/Bewildering to

say the least!
We all want detailed explanations of these shameful votes!

[ColoringFool]

5. Jon Ossoff Can Kiss 2028 VP Buh-Bye. Very Disappointing. N/T

[berniesandersmittens]

10. Ossoff voted no nt

[Cha]

21. TY.. do you have a link for that?

I've been trying to find one.

[berniesandersmittens]

24. No, just heard it on tv

Watching the live stream now.

[Cha]

26. Oh TY, mittens.. That will Do!

[angrychair]

27. Where are you watching

Looking for a good spot to watch

[berniesandersmittens]

29. it's on Roku live tv

foxlivenow (I know, it's faux, but they've been showing it live)

[LuvLoogie]

7. Fucking Durbin

[Bread and Circuses]

8. Osoff just voted NO

[angrychair]

13. I'll remove him

From the list

[DET]

9. Worse

Tim Kaine of Virginia has said he will vote in favor (but Warner will not). I understand the demographics here and his concerns, but I feel betrayed.

[Ponietz]

52. How? Virginia overwhelmingly voted Blue last Tuesday. It was a mandate.

[DET]

57. Yes It Was

And I’m very grateful for that. But I feel betrayed by Tim Kaine who I’ve supported financially and otherwise. I was concerned when he voted to support Trump nominees, but I did not think that he’d cave on this vote.

[Bookreadingliberal53]

14. Ossoff voted No nt

[angrychair]

15. I updated the list to reflect that. N/T

.

[EnergizedLib]

16. It's good Ossoff voted no

He’s up for re-election. Republicans won’t vote for him anyway and our base would be depressed if he voted yes.

Durbin is retiring, good riddance, get a progressive in there.

Mark Kelly? Say goodbye to ever being on a national ticket.

[angrychair]

17. Where is a good place to see

The actual votes as they come in?

[ALBliberal]

19. Just gonna say? My family and I are secure tonight

food income while others are going hungry and without health insurance

Is there another angle here?

Don’t blow me up.

[geojazz]

20. Amazing!!

It's amazing to me how Dems are so quick to eat their own!! Jon Stewart was right!! We'll find a way to fuck up Tuesday's victories!! The list you produced are some of our best people & because of silly short sightedness, they're now considered the enemy!!! Bullshit!!! I would like a perfect world too, but sometimes it's better to go slow & work together!

[choie]

34. The Democratic leadership

is who is fucking up Tuesday's victories. Not those of us who are FUCKING TIRED of accepting these kind of political machinations from the Democratic leadership.

[LudwigPastorius]

44. The Democratic leadership didn't negotiate this deal.

You may fault Schumer for not being able to cajole/intimidate these 10 breakaway Dems into holding strong, but he can't actually cast their votes for them.

[choie]

47. That is not credible.

[LudwigPastorius]

49. How so?

Are the 10 who caved puppets that Schumer can manipulate at will?

[Wiz Imp]

68. So you want a dictator for Senate minority leader? Wow.

I prefer to not emulate Republicans who will always follow the edicts of their leader. I prefer a Democratic party which allows people to vote their conscience. But that's just me.

[choie]

74. It's not about what I want

Or in fact what you want. That’s the reality. If you believe Schumer didn’t want this deal, he’s played you.

[W_HAMILTON]

84. Yes, it is. Those on the left love disagreeing with those on the left.

We aren't a cult, and it's times like these -- and in 2016, or 2024... -- where it sure would help if we were...

[Cirsium]

69. No?

Isn't Schumer the Democratic party leader in the Senate? I guess it is a new era - the "buck stops over there" era.

[Celerity]

22. Peters was a No (surprisingly)

[angrychair]

25. THANKS! I updated my list. N/T

...

[GopherGal]

23. Well, this list will save me some money next time I free some up for political donations...

Sad to say, there are a couple names on there that I have supported (with varying degrees of enthusiasm) in the past.

[vapor2]

30. Dick Durbin? Angus KIng?

Fetterman is a repug anyway

[tritsofme]

31. Right right! We should fight for this shutdown down to the last starving SNAP recipient! Battle on true progressive

warriors!

[choie]

36. And negotiate for the ACA subsidies to go bye-bye.

That's better, right?

[DET]

37. Oh Please

The SNAP issue is currently in litigation and should be resolved soon - probably in favor of SNAP recipients. And if Trump is determined to starve Americans, he’ll do it irrespective of any judicial rulings.

[Permanut]

32. Okay, so now the schoolyard bully has our lunch money..

I'm pretty sure he won't want anything else.

[G_j]

43. pretty simple

how that works

[DBoon]

62. We gave the Vikings all the gold they wanted

They will never bother us again.

Oh, wait is that a Norse war vessel on the horizon...

[FakeNoose]

33. Fetterman isn't up for reelection until 2028, but there are rumors he might bow out

Last edited Mon Nov 10, 2025, 02:14 PM - Edit history (1)

There's no way to know yet, but there's a possibility that John Fetterman might not look for another term. I'm in Pittsburgh in his home territory, so let's just wait and see for now. There will be time to decide later ...

[Anxy]

80. I think he will run as a Republican

There’s no order way he could win a primary.

[FakeNoose]

85. No he just won't run again, and health issues would be the reason

Apparently Chuck Schumer chose certain D Senators who aren't up for re-election to vote with the Repukes. And Fetterman was one of the selected ones. Schumer didn't want to have it on his voting record, but he doesn't mind when others do.

[Wiz Imp]

87. Nobody had to "choose" Fetterman. He, King & Cortez Masto have voted with the GOP

all along. They weren't going to change their minds now. They along with the 2 Senators from New Hampshire and the other Senator from Nevada, clearly wanted the "deal" all along.

[Wiz Imp]

86. Fetterman would never run as a Republican. Contrary to what the many misinformed people

here believe, he disagrees with Republicans on probably 90% of all contentious issues.

[AllyCat]

35. On Edit: Not my Senator.

For the rest of them: Unbelievable. Time to resign and/or retire.

[Celerity]

39. Baldwin was a No, Kelly was a No, Cortez Masto was a Yea (she was left off the OP list)

Here are the 8 Yeas:

Catherine Cortez Masto
Jacky Rosen
Maggie Hassen
Jeanne Shaheen (retiring)
Angus King
John Fetterman
Tim Kaine
Dick Durbin (retiring)

[AllyCat]

42. Thank you. The OP had her in there.

I’m just so angry I didn’t even check.

[Celerity]

38. Mark Kelly was a No, Tammy Bldwin was a No, Catherine Cortez Masto was a Yea

here are the 8 Yeas (final list)

Catherine Cortez Masto
Jacky Rosen
Maggie Hassen
Jeanne Shaheen (retiring)
Angus King
John Fetterman
Tim Kaine
Dick Durbin (retiring)

[Thrill]

41. Weak asses as usual

.

[Ponietz]

45. Some Dems voted to confirm Clarence Thomas and voted for the Iraq war

Doesn’t surprise me. Some truly are Republican Lite. SMDH

[Javaman]

46. Nothing like coming off the victory of last tuesdays blowout by

snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Nothing taking all the good will capital built up for your constituents and flushing it down the drain.

[B.See]

48. Indeed.

[SunImp]

58. It's depressing

[flashman13]

50. Keep this list handy. Next time you hear any of them begging for campaign funds tell them NO!

There are better real Democrats out there to replace them.

[OrwellwasRight]

64. This is why I never give to DCCC/DSCC

Money ends up in the hands of people whose behavior you want to change. I give directly to Dems whose positions and voting stances I support.

[flashman13]

70. You're absolutely right. I contribute only directly to individuals and not to organizations.

[Jack Valentino]

51. Glad my Michigan senators aren't on that list!

[niyad]

54. Nor are my Colorado senators.

[catbyte]

61. Yeah, I was worried that Peters might cave since he's retiring.

I wasn't worried about Slotkin, though.

[DFW]

53. I'm amazed how many on here react to fake news as if it were true

Jon Ossoff (up next year, not 2028) and Mark Kelly voted no, but were immediately savaged on this thread for voting yes. No apologies or corrections from the ones with the angriest comments against them. I have mentioned DU to both of them. No wonder they stay away.

Anyone can make a mistake, but the difference between us and the Foxsuckers should be that we rectify and apologize, where they do not.

[dem4decades]

55. Do Republicans ever get tired of winning?

[CentralMass]

56. Spineless. We are f'd.

[Omaha Steve]

59. I lost DU friends and took a lot of crap when I wasn't happy about Kaine for VP with Hillary

Am I vindicated?

OS

[oasis]

67. Your instincts were right on. I never warmed up

to the guy.

[fujiyamasan]

79. He also shit the bed in that debate with Pence

He’s always been a smarmy turd. What terrible VP choice.

[RecoveringJournalist]

60. Make Them Regret It

Republicans keep their legislators in line through fear. For something this important, it might be wise to take the same approach with Dems. No, I don't advocate violence. But make them fear for their legislative lives, fear for their peace, fear that everywhere they go for the rest of their days they will be hounded by angry citizens screaming at them nonstop. The stakes are too high.

[quakerboy]

63. King is not a democrat

Also Schumer sold us out. Again. It was his job to lead and he failed.

Also we should list the republicans who are united in failing their voters.

[CentralMass]

71. Check their bank accounts.

[JoseBalow]

72. Fetterman, of course

[flashman13]

73. How convenient is it that none of these Senators are up for re-election in 2026.

[CentralMass]

75. This smells. The Democrats caved.

[Raven123]

76. A number of those non-retiring have been sending campaign contribution requests

It will be interesting to see how this works out for them

[flying-skeleton]

77. These traitors.....

These traitorous senators better have gotten rich from surrendering because they just ended their political careers and will have to live their lives in shame ‼️

I will donate to every one who primaries these traitors ‼️

[jcmaine72]

82. I can't even look at Fetterman any longer without feeling physically ill.

Why doesn't he just switch parties already?

[republianmushroom]

88. Damn, Brutus you too.
