House Republicans now need to take ANOTHER vote to change the bill they already passed. That’s right: they passed the bill, THEN found out what was in it, and NOW are scrambling to try to fix their mistakes.
Why? When Republicans rushed to finalize their awful bill in the middle of the night they accidentally included some provisions that aren’t allowed to be in the bill under the Senate’s rules for budget reconciliation.
First, the bottom line: unless the House re-votes to fix Republicans’ mistakes, THE BILL IS DEAD.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING NEWS!🚨
We’re hearing that Republicans screwed up when they rushed their tax scam through without reading it. Now they have to RE-VOTE on it THIS WEEK.
A thread:
His boss granted a sweeping, unconditional pardon of January 6th defendants who were arrested, charged, and convicted of violently attacking police officers.
Not only was it passed in the dead of night, Republicans also used emergency procedures to start a Rules Committee meeting on this abomination at 1 o’clock in the morning:
The GOP agenda is clear:
➡️ Tax breaks for billionaires, crumbs for workers
➡️ Favors for Wall Street, pain for Main Street
➡️ Cruelty toward the vulnerable & indifference to anyone not writing campaign checks
This isn’t governing—it’s greed. And Americans deserve better.
If I had a nickel for every time the Freedom Caucus threw a fit, got nothing, and folded anyway, Elon Musk wouldn’t be the richest man in the world.
This is weapons grade stupid. Does he know that it snows in the winter???
Trump is putting you and your family in danger by filling the government with incompetent morons.
I am shocked and horrified by the antisemitic hate crime in Boulder, Colorado. This kind of violence is unacceptable, and we must all loudly condemn it. Let us join together to keep the victims and their families in our prayers.
When we fight—we win.

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social explains how the GOP Tax Scam will increase electric bills for families and small businesses by ripping away investments in clean energy.

Republicans are trying to take health care away from almost 14 million Americans in the dead of night.
I reminded them to their faces just how many of their constituents they're screwing over so billionaires can get trillions in tax cuts.
Heartbroken by the passing of my friend Gerry Connolly, a fierce defender of democracy. With a sharp wit and a passion for public service, he always spoke up—with the Boston accent he never lost—for what is right and just. I’ll be praying for his family, friends and staff.

House Republicans are so ashamed of the GOP Tax Scam that they are planning a 1 AM committee meeting tonight to jam it through Congress.
In today's Democratic Daily Download, @repmcgovern.bsky.social breaks down what's in this ugly bill and what Democrats are doing to stop it.
If Donald Trump's big beautiful tax break for billionaires is so great... why not pass it in prime time? Why jam it through in the middle of the night? What don't they want you to know?
They have such contempt for the American people.
This is a lie. Trump betrayed law enforcement officers when he issued 1,500+ pardons for people who attacked the police on January 6th, disrespecting and dishonoring all the officers who stood up to the violent mob that day.

Moving to adjourn delayed the markup and forced Republicans to come back to their seats and hear firsthand about the moms and dads, kids and working families they are stealing food assistance from with Trump’s awful, ugly bill.
Where are all the Republicans as their committee votes to steal food assistance from families who have fallen on hard times? They know they can’t defend this shit—so they just leave!
