I wish I were making this up. This is the version of the #GOPTaxScam the Senate votes on tonight. Handwritten text up and down the margins.

Biden IRS made it free and simple for you to file your taxes directly. The Trump Admin is making you go back to TurboTax. Shameful.
The easy-to-use free website to file taxes is being shuttered. Direct File was opposed by paid tax preparers.

"they don’t yet have 50 for budget res" is actually the headline here -- we're talking about a 53-47 Senate. Strong and sustained public opposition can work!.
NEWS — During GOP lunch, Thune signaled a major shift in plans, saying Republicans don’t actually need to hear from the parliamentarian about the “current policy baseline” scoring method before voting on the budget resolution. The holdup, Thune said, is rather that they don’t.

Out of the bag indeed: they won't stop until they've delivered more tax cuts for billionaires, paid for by cutting off access to Social Security benefits, veterans benefits, Pell, Medicaid, SNAP, etc.
Q: The conventional wisdom is that the only place to look for cuts is entitlements. Do you think that's true?. Trump Treasury Secretary: “The cat’s out of the bag… This administration is not going to stop.”

Yeah, turns out voters across the political spectrum don't like it when you take away their health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

They are standing between seniors and the Social Security benefits they've earned, they're doing it right out in the open, and it is to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Keep saying it.

Cuts to Social Security are not a far-off possibility in the future, they’re happening *right now* — in the form of closed field offices and terrible service. This paves the way for even further cuts later. Why? To pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

“Morale is in the toilet,” the employee said. “We all know what DOGE wants to do, which is just break us, so they can privatize us.” . This employee nails it: the Republican effort to slash Social Security to pay for billionaire tax cuts is well underway.

The nonpartisan scorekeepers at CBO agree: following the plan they've already voted on, Republicans will HAVE to slash Medicare or Medicaid (probably both) to pay for their billionaire tax cuts.

Trump is not using these tariffs to protect American jobs (if so, they'd be targeted). He's not using them to stem the flow of fentanyl (if so, he'd close the de minimus loophole). These tariffs will hurt and the purpose is to line billionaire pockets with more tax cuts.
Trump will tout his tariffs in his speech to Congress tonight - saying “we will take in trillions of dollars” . He just spoke w/ GOP leaders about their plans to claim tariffs pay for Republicans’ massive energy, border and tax cuts bill >.

Slashing Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax cuts is deeply unpopular with the American people, and House Republicans are going to keep finding that out.
Republicans are running scared. Swing district GOP Rep. Bresnahan vowed to protect his constituents’ benefits — then voted for a budget that slashes Medicaid. Now @AP reports he’s skipping town halls, dodging interviews, and ignoring constituent emails.
