I’m on the Senate floor to try to pass an amendment that strikes any part of this Big Ugly Bill that would put rural hospitals at risk of cutting off services or closing.
As Republicans vote to move this forward do not forget: last night, in the dead of night Republicans released an even worse bill that further attacks clean energy, threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs and investments in communities while raising energy bills.
Screenshot of headline reading: Senate Republicans make steep cuts to wind and solar in updated megabill text

The changes came after President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to crack down on the credits.
Whether it’s a $700 billion cut or a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid, Republicans are fighting for a bill that could shutter rural hospitals and nursing homes, kneecap community health centers, and make it harder for people to get health care. And for what? Tax breaks for billionaires.
Post from @meredithlee 

🚨🚨House GOP leaders will hold a 3pm member call on the megabill today  

MORE than a dozen House Rs tell us they won’t vote for Senate text unless Medicaid language moves much closer to House version

Valadao is saying publicly he will oppose the bill unless it returns in total to House Medicaid text 

+30 members have raised concerns to leaders on Senate’s Medicaid update, many have directly texted Speaker Johnson in last few hours

Republicans paint programs they want to cut like the green bank, environmental justice grants, and clean energy incentives as government waste, but these programs create jobs, reduce toxic pollution, and lower energy bills. The real waste? The GOP’s $170 billion giveaway to Big Oil.

An “Appeal to Heaven” flag—previously touted by the Proud Boys—was proudly flown by the Small Business Administration earlier this month. Make no mistake, this is the cosigning of white Christian nationalism by SBA leadership. It’s deplorable. SBA Loeffler, care to respond?
Sen. Markey presses the Small Business Administration for flying an extremist flag
The “Appeal to Heaven” flag, popularized by Christian extremists, flew this month at the SBA, and the Massachusetts senator wants answers.
This is all you need to know about the Supreme Court’s ruling in the birthright citizenship case: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.”
"The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along," Sotomayor wrote, adding, "No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates."
Today’s Supreme Court opinion upholding my E-Rate program is a major victory for students and teachers across the country. Because every student, no matter their zip code, deserves access to the internet.
