Last night, I proposed two amendments to strike the billions Republicans are giving away to Big Oil in their Big Ugly Bill, including tax breaks for drilling, oil production, and coal. The fight to strike these Big Oil bonuses is not over.
After 27 hours, Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill—a catastrophic assault on health care, food, and climate. They chose Trump and billionaires over families and our future. This fight isn't over. Now it’s the House’s turn to stop it. We can't agonize—we must organize.
Republicans tried to put new taxes on wind and solar projects in Massachusetts. We just forced them to take it out of the bill. But this thing shouldn't pass at all. Keep pushing.
Here’s the latest—the Senate is still in session after 26 hours. Republicans are now forcing major changes to their Big Ugly Bill that no one has seen. This is legislating in the dark with the health care of millions of Americans on the line.
Here’s the state of play: Republicans have no idea what their next move is and are trying desperately to find a way they can kick millions of people off their health insurance to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Republicans are trying to pass the most destructive climate bill ever proposed by Congress. This bill isn’t just reckless—it’s a direct attack on our health, our wallets, and our future.
Rural hospitals would lose $87 billion. Urban hospitals would lose $337 billion. No fund is going to make up the difference. Republicans should just vote no on this Big Ugly Bill.

Last night, Republicans agreed to a so-called compromise on the AI moratorium. Don’t be fooled: This is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and it will devastate state attempts to protect children online. That’s why I filed an amendment with @cantwell.senate.gov to strip this provision
Republicans rejected my effort to protect rural hospitals from their devastating cuts to health care. Shameful. No billionaire tax break or Trump pat on the back is worth the risk to people’s lives and livelihoods.
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.

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
