Thursday, June 26 - Delay and Disrupt the Republican Tax Scam / Propose an Amendment / Rally to Save Transit TODAY
Partner Action: Tell Senators to Delay and Disrupt the Republican Tax Scam
Republicans are racing to pass their tax scam bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs, but they’re still fighting internally about the content of the bill: some are hesitant about making such big cuts to Medicaid, some want even deeper cuts. And that’s left Republican leaders Johnson and Thune scrambling to balance the demands from all the different sides of their caucus.
So the more drawn out and painful that Democrats can make the fight, the less likely they’ll be able to actually pass a bill. And Democrats will have the opportunity to do so, including during vote-a-rama when they can introduce endless amendments to postpone the Senate vote on passage of the bill.
👉 Call your Senators now and ask them to do everything in their power to delay and disrupt the budget reconciliation process. Remind them that they can still take action now to defeat the tax scam bill.

Partner Action: Propose an Amendment To Delay and Disrupt the Reconciliation Bill
Senate Republicans want to vote on their Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching reconciliation bill this weekend, and that means a “vote-a-rama,” when senators can propose endless changes that their colleagues then need to vote on.
Democrats can use this as an opportunity to postpone the final vote on the bill by holding the floor and forcing Republicans to vote on amendments that put them on record supporting divisive and politically damaging policies.
We need to encourage Senate Dems to do everything in their power to fight back against this egregious bill, including by flooding their offices with amendment ideas they can use to keep vote-a-rama going as long as possible.
👉 Propose an amendment now to delay and disrupt the reconciliation bill.
