The full list of these Democrats that caved and voted with repukes.

Senator Richard Durbin (Illinois, retiring) (net worth est. 2.5 million)
Senator Angus King (Maine, term ends in 2030) (net worth est. 10 million)
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada, term ends in 2028) (net worth est. 5 million)
Senator Jacky Rosen (Nevada, term ends in 2030) (net worth est. 12 million)
Senator Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire, term ends in 2028) (net worth est. 5 million)
Senator Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire, retiring) (net worth est. 5 million)
Senator John Fetterman (Pennsylvania, 2028) (net worth est. 800,000 - 2.4 million)
Senator Tim Kaine (Virginia, 2030) (net worth est. 2.3 million)

Thread Updated: net worth estimates for each senator. They are all millionaires, except possibly Fetterman.

1. Interesting that they got just enough to pass it.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Yes interesting isn't it.

Just enough.
I wonder how that happened.
Were they all volunteers or did arms get twisted in some way?

9. And didn't make Chuck Schumer part of it. I bet the biggest pressure came from corporations ...

... there is no doubt a strategy going on. But it needed to go on till the GOP caved. We just saved TACO further embarrassment and damge.

2. Why would Durbin vote yes, unless he had Chuck's blessing?

In what world does the number 2 not do what the number one wants?

Do you think JD would vote against the way Trump wanted him to vote?

7. Interesting questions.

10. Durbin surprised me, too. but he is retiring.

[dem4decades]

12. Right, so he takes the pill for Schumer? Durbin isn't running again, Schumer is.

Might as well have Durbin disappoint Democrats while Schumer gets it both ways, he votes no while knowing the vote is going to pass.
We Weren't born yesterday.

20. Chuck set this up.

Chuck got them to “fall on their own sword” so the other Dems could safely vote “no” since these seven are not up for election in 2026 and the voters will soon forget their traitorous act. It’s all a game for them. (I don’t count Fetterman in this bunch. He already is in the Republican Party’s pocket.)

[dem4decades]

21. Yep, chuck's deal.

[Irish_Dem]

4. What to make of this list.

[Hugin]

6. King isn't a Democrat. n/t

[Coldwater]

8. There's a sucker born every minute

11. At this point, I seriously want to know what Rupert Murdoch has on Fetterman.

There’s no way he goes from being left leaning liberal to appearing on Lara Trump’s show overnight.

13. From what I have read, Fetterman has gone to the right since his stroke.

14. What's wrong with this?

Illinois population 12.81 million
Maine population 1.405 million
Nevada population 3.104 million
New Hampshire population 1.409 million
Pennsylvania population 13.08 million
Virginia population 8.811 million

Texas population 31.29 million
California population 39.43 million
New York population 20.201 million

Houston, Tx population 2.39 million
Los Angeles population 3.879 million
New York City population 8.478 million

Sigh!

16. What did you want us to notice? I don't understand.

[SARose]

17. Some of those Senators

Represent states with populations smaller than Houston, for example.

Why were these Senators from mostly small states chosen for this assignment?

Curious…

[mysteryowl]

19. OK thanks for the clarification

I also wonder if this is a list of corporate dems that are so far to the right we call them republican lite.

I heard a statistic today that 91% of democratic Americans wanted them to hold the line.

15. The original thread post has been updated to include estimated net worth.

So, this group of millionaire Senators, by virtue of their vote, believe that the average American family can afford their health insurance premium to go up by $1000.00 per month!!! That was the fight we needed them to hang in there for. Yes, we needed all of it, but by caving government shut downs will become a habit, since the repukes always get their way.

18. World's most exclusive club blah blah blah...

...exists so government of the rich, by and rich and for the rich shall not perish from the earth.
