What about the devastating cuts to Americans healthcare?

Why do billionaires, mega-millionaires and corporations need tax cuts anyway? How greedy it is to take from the poor and middle class to serve these horrible rich and entitled people!!

That can't be removed from the bill through the Byrd Bath because it is a budgetary item. The bill will have be voted down for those cuts to not happen.---Jason

Excellent. Whole bill needs to go, but that provision was horible.

The people who support this bill evidently think that others either will not read it, or will not notice, or will not care, about the actual contents. Wrong on all counts, and thanks to vigilant leadership, this effort is stone cold stopped. It is going to be like this, for a while.

So awesome this got cut! It was so bad. I see Sen Patty Murray in the pic so extra thanks to her since she’s one of our WA senators.

Well done on removing the judge restriction from that bad bastard bill. It’s an important thing, especially because of the way the GOP tried to sneak it through.

And the sale of public lands? Isn’t this a policy shift? Isn’t the purpose of acquiring public lands preservation for all Americans for generations to come? Granted it might generate revenue although it could also be a windfall for developers, a fire sale which would once again enrich the rich.

Anything not connected with money should be deleted. How about the measure that said we can't regulate AI for at least ten years?
