It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up... So far tonight, Republicans have blocked amendments that would: – Remove tariffs hurting families – Protect disaster response and recovery - Secure Social Security benefits - Preserve federal lands (Thread 🧵)

Republicans want to use an accounting trick to hide the true cost of Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy in their budget bill. Meanwhile, they're hacking away at regulatory rules that protect consumers, workers, and the environment. The GOP works for the oligarchs — not you.

The Social Security Administration has already cut 7,000 jobs. As a result, its website is crashing. Phone lines are overwhelmed. Beneficiaries can't get service. What is DOGE recommending now? More layoffs. Let it be known that Trump is effectively cutting Social Security.

A few GOP Senators and Reps could join Dems right now to end the fake emergency justifying Trump's tariffs. He'd veto. Let him. Ds can pressure Rs to override. They should hound Rs on this.
