This “5-minute vote” has now been open for well over an hour — because Republicans don’t have the votes to advance the mega-bill. And this is a procedural vote, not on passage.

Alright everyone. Republicans are going to force a vote on their gender affirming care provision even though it violates Senate rules. They’ll need 60 votes to keep it in. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ask your Senators to stand on the side of health care freedom.
Transgender medicaid ban and definition of sex are back in the federal bill - Dems can raise a point of order and force a vote, and as long as we don't lose 7 dems on this, Dems can keep it out.
Definitely worth some phone calls folks.

This means that Democrats will have to raise a point of order on this part of the bill. This would force a vote on the amendment that would require 60 votes. Republicans have 53 Senate seats, so it means they would need to pick off 7 Democrats for this.

I don’t think republicans are ready for what happens when a majority of the population loses health care. I genuinely don’t know how many of them realize just how bad it’s gonna roll into every aspect of the industry

This would make ICE roughly the 7th-largest military in the world.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Absolutely fucked how people keep getting disappeared in an American city
Abandoned ice cream carts, fruit, and taco stands. Trucks with broken windows left in the middle of the streets. It’s the new reality ICE has brought to our beautiful city. This taco stand appears to have been hit last night, 6/27 in South LA by Florence and Gramercy.

Set a reminder in your phone to make it easier to call regularly. If you’re in CA, Padilla’s DC office doesn’t have VM after hours, call a local office.
Call even if your reps are Republican. This is a blatant violation of the Constitution. It’s an abuse of the military. It endangers the US.

There are ZERO riots. I am in downtown Los Angeles. There are live feeds of everything that was here and what went down in Paramount. Dudes on mini bikes making noise and people holding Fuck Ice signs etc. But no violence from protesters. None. Cannot say the same about the opposition.
Anyone saying, with any seriousness, that there is rioting in Los Angeles gets an immediate block.
Trust me, if LA was rioting, you would know.
