In this urgent episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth breaks down the Senate's shocking weekend vote to end the government shutdown—exposing why the deal represents a devastating sellout of the Democratic base and millions of Americans who rely on ACA subsidies. She explains how the Senate leadership, particularly Chuck Schumer, engineered a collapse in leverage just days after Democrats' sweeping electoral victories, and why the promise of a mere vote in December leaves families facing skyrocketing premiums or loss of coverage entirely. Elizabeth also digs into the widening rift between House and Senate Democrats, Indivisible's push for new Senate leadership, and the concrete actions listeners must take now to fight back.

The episode also covers major developments on SNAP benefits, Mike Johnson's political calculus around recalling the House, and the high-stakes implications for the long-stalled vote on releasing the Epstein files. Elizabeth closes with analysis of Trump's recent federal pardons—including what they do not shield co-conspirators from—and outlines the urgent tasks for organizers and constituents as millions face hunger, loss of healthcare, and growing authoritarian threats. It's an intense, essential briefing on a volatile political moment—and a clear call to action.
