I knew a bit of what was going on, but Chris made it totally clear for me as to what the nefarious plan is.

If Only #GroverNorquist had an opinion on debt he'd like to share.

that they need to get away with their tax giveaway to billionaires and corporations paid for by cuts to programs like Medicaid.

We started voting around 8 PM on a Friday night because they knew doing it in the dark of night would minimize media coverage. a spotlight on what is going on.

And they do not want the American people to see how blatant their handover of our government to the billionaire class is.
But I think it’s important you know because we all need to be shining a spotlight on what is going on.

So let me explain what happened last night and what we did to fight back.
This bill is the core of Trump and Republicans’ billionaire first agenda.

They put up a bill that gives $4.6 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest corporations and people — paid for by the rest of us. They want to slash popular and necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and SNAP.

Last night’s vote was a required procedural step to move this bill forward. It’s just an outline of their plan, but with it, any senator can offer as many amendments as they want. So my Democratic colleagues and I did just that.

Now, we knew that Republicans would largely oppose them unanimously, but we had two objectives here. One, Republicans were forced to put their opinion on record on the most corrupt parts of Trump and Musk’s agenda.

Schumer & others senators rolled over like an obedient dog and said yes without negotiation. Noone wants or benefits closed government. But, there is not too many departments operational.
I bet Trump calls admires his "one big, beautiful" poop everyday and calls his loyal people to its beauty...
