What started as a routine but laborious day of amendment voting, in a
process called vote-a-rama, spiraled into an all-night slog as
Republican leaders bought time to shore up support.
The droning
roll calls in the chamber belied the frenzied action to steady the bill.
Grim-faced scenes played out on and off the Senate floor, amid
exhaustion.

"One of my objectives in this daily letter is to equip you with the facts you need. As the Senate approaches a vote on President Donald Trump’s giant “big beautiful” tax and budget bill, I want to be as clear as possible about it.
The Worst Bill in History
Trump’s budget-busting, Medicaid-shattering, shafting-the-poor-and-working-class, making-the-rich-even-richer bill is a historic travesty.

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all. It comes at a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth.
What you can do: Call your senators and tell them to vote “no” on this calamitous tax and budget bill. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121.
Beyond this, help ensure that senators who vote in favor of this monstrosity are booted out of the Senate as soon as they’re up for reelection.
