🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Senate Democrats have forced EVERY WORD in Trump's 900 page Big Beautiful Bill to be read on the floor before the vote. The move will delay the vote to cut Medicaid and SNAP, raise energy costs, and give tax breaks to the ultra-rich. This is historic.
Delaying a vote does nothing but delay the vote. Historic? Cmon man
Awesome👏👏💯💯
Anyone wanna hang and listen? Lol
Ah, yeah, reading stuff. That’ll sure show ‘em. Such resistance. 🙄
Dems should live stream this shit into the veins of all voters in R districts
This is the right move, but doesn't go far enough. Nobody understands the language in the bill. A credible voice with a platform to simplify for the voters what's really in each section of the bill might change some R voter minds - putting pressure on R senators.
Lol performance art. You are so brainwashed to think the Dems give one shit about defeating this bill. "Historic" ROFL
GOOD!!!!!!
How? It's not going to change a goddamn thing to the Republicans because they will vote to cut Medicaid and leave millions to die once it's signed into law. Seriously this why the democratic party is so goddamn weak. The government needs better leadership in politics like Zohran Mamdani.
What would you like them to do? They are in the minority in the senate. They simply don't have the numbers to stop it. Elections have consequences
Are the members even there? 🤔
Tell those boys and girls to bring snacks they gonna be there a while.🤣🌈
Hoping that as it's been read, the items creating pain and hardships for the public is released by ALL media...citizens need to be informed!!
Can we hope that some Senate R's need to rush off to their mistresses or hired-men-of-the-night and not participate in the vote?
💙💙💙

You got that right. And I hate agreeing w/this ass wipe.
Yep. Time to fuck over the GOP at the Midterms.
I really, really hope that the Dem Senators post snippets on Social Media all through the reading, simplifying but making VERY CLEAR the specific details so the public knows what's really in that bill.
Sadly the bill cleared the Senate vote.
So, how did that work out?
The Knights of Ni
Well, well.... The Senate Dems finally grew a set of balls and ovaries......👍
If they vote yes, it'll be a scarlet letter...
Thank you Democrats for making them read every word of this horrible bill, all 900 pages
First time for everything. Finally forced to actually read their bills before voting. It's your job!
Delaying it, but if those asshole sycophantic Republicans vote for it, we’re sunk.
Well then you can consider us sunk as that will happen.
Ok, Schumer, that’s good. Now get more creative & resolute. Block this bastard bill
But it will still pass. Only delaying the inevitable.
Any delay at all is fine
That's much more like it. Fight their treasonous evil agenda in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE .
Passed Senate … no surprise. Government Opportunistic Party
Ok so reading entire bill is merely a delay tactic… brilliant. Not.
Good for democrats! Throw as many cogs in the Republican bill as you can! Do whatever you can to try to force enough republicans to vote no and stop this bill!
I hope this makes future political ads easier to cut and paste heading to midterms… other than that, let the hospitals close.
Thankful for small things in this nightmare.
Well whoopeedooo, that shows em
Anyone remember that show Designated Survivor? Was a good show. If you haven't seen it, you should catch it on Netflix or Hulu one of these days.
Great show! I think everyone should at least watch the first episode!
Want to bet most of them never read it in the first place?
I’m afraid I’ll not survive this…
why would this have to be forced. The idiots should read and understand every bill they need to vote on
Republicans run the house and the senate. It will make a difference to be able to play the clip of a Republican reading out loud benefits being taken away. When things turn to shit in the red states then pull up their favorite MAGA douche bag reading their cruelty out loud.
WIll it be the Republicans doing the reading? I don't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong. BUT - even if they do read it, the video of them reading it will never be seen by the Right because Fox & other RW Media will not show it.
It will be a clerk reading it. I was hoping for pressure for Republicans to read it.
Brilliant!
"Delay" being the operative word
Now the Republicans can’t claim they didn’t know what was in it
Yayyy🤦♀️
Ooh what a move. Reading.
Do we know if this version passes the Parliamentarian test? Or if it has to?
I’m missing something … what specifically is “historic” about putting off the inevitable for 48 hours?
They’ll just pass it tomorrow.
the R’s won’t be able to say “I didn’t know that was in there”. And any D that votes for it and makes that claim should be called out every damn day between this vote and the day they die, even if it’s after they leave office. This will be their legacy.
But we will have shown our opposition, not just rolled over
Yep.
The way to stop it would be to force trump to read it and then he would literally never get through it and it would never pass.
Maybe Chucky Cheese can shout "we will win" a few times before the vote.
On Sunday, fuck
💯 Parties don't matter anymore There are not going to be any more elections. Any day now we are going to wake up and it is going to be worse than Nazi Germany. We shouldn't be on here posting..The time to March on Washington and literally physically take it back is now. J6 for democracy or we die 🤷🏼
Still needs to go back to the House, tho--just a heads up www.politico.com/live-updates...
Is it? It will pass. GG America
That poor clerk.
Considering how many of them don’t read the freaking legislation this is not a bad thing. Should apparently be done more since idiots keep getting elected who don’t read them.
Wheres the news on this? I have posted this to every news outlet and large name independent news group and I have yet to see ANY one report on it. Yall... they want it quiet. Get it out there. He souldnt even be in office at all. youtu.be/v5p1urol9uk?...
Good 👍🏻 bc we already know the Republicans don’t read.
Thanks to the Senate clerks doing the reading and their long night ahead
MAGA w/ an L for LOSERS.
Not exactly historic. Merely a meaningless delay.
Thank you for bringing us this.
I read it already passed and they are reading it after the fact - at night?
Not quite

👇☝️
It wasn’t voted on yet?
Saturday was a vote on the motion to proceed.
The Democrats may not have much power, but if all you can do is throw sand in the gears... Grab the shovels! This is the gritty resolve we have been begging for!
They have to read 900 pages out loud? That'll take a while 🤣
Finally using some of the damned tools at their disposal!!
Delay, not stop. Keep talking while our nation dies.
That chamber is empty. EVERY SINGLE SENATOR should have their asses in their seats, forcing them to hear every word before they vote!
I would have wanted them to read also every word of project 2025 looking that they're there!
If what's happening in US was happening in my country, there'd be blood on the streets. You people sure take a lot of shit.
I guarantee that most Americans have no idea what’s happening tonight … they are too busy watching Netflix!
Oh they will soon enough
The ppl in wheelchairs were there protesting yesterday & cops zip tied them & had them arrested.
Ya, that's a lotta shit!
The yanks are deep thinkers only turn up in the last 2 years of world wars when the lend lease bosses are worried about the side they backed not winning.
Yes, it was a shameful response to a peaceful demonstration. Hard to watch. 😓
I’m actually genuinely shocked it hasn’t happened yet. I fear it’s only a matter of time.
We’ve never had an uprising. And think we expected more from the Dems in Congress. Trump will call the military on us when we start fighting back.
Count your blessings because this could very well be most any country!! Abuse of power is highly contagious.. That being said, people here are fighting, protesting, being arrested and fuckin dying, however there’s NO EXPLANATION FOR THE STUPID AMERICANS WHO VOTED FOR A CARRER CORRUPT, CON MAN
Not true..most 1st world countries are far better educated than americans and would never vote Trump in a second time.
W’ver
Shrewd political theatre, but will it stop it from passing?
I don't think it will. It will pass and our country will be one step closer to disaster (I mean, I kinda feel like we're there already)
There is not much done that can't be undone, but it can be viciusly difficult to do it.
Meanwhile, Republicans…& probably Fetterman.
Trump makes threats to every House and Senate Republicans if he doesn't get his way.
Do you really think the Republicans care? They don't, and every one of them will vote yes.
Delay is all we have. This bill will pass. No Republicans left to block it. Lame!!!
I love this for them!
Can they at least comment while reading it? Snicker? Hold up signs that say "OMG" and "NFW" and "[puke emoji]" ?
And to make a criminal a dictator and to end 'free and fair' (we can debate that given gerrymandering, voter suppression, electororal college etc) elections
And the entire gop will sleep through it while dreaming of their large bank accounts
Who cares ... it won't change anything. They need to do more than play games. They need to muscle some GOP to flip their votes NOW.
What the hell do you expect them to do? Pull a gun on them? No one can “muscle” a repuke to vote against Trump. They are too busy sucking, if you know what I mean.
Do you actually realize how much chaos and shit that Trump is throwing in every direction? That was his plan all along. Dems are filing suits constantly. Every little bit of resistance adds up when you're the minority. I believe in the end, it's the women who are going to save this country.
How are all the millions of people who chose not to exercise their right to vote feeling right now?
They'll have no idea whats going on, as they have forever. That is until they learn their great aunt in need of 24/7 nursing care, living on Medicare, suddenly comes to live with them.
Trump supporting rural America is going to collapse. Hospital closures take down industries. Any rural town that has manufacturing or large scale employment cannot keep industry leaders or professionals with options when they are 45 minutes from a hospital
Don’t know. Everyone I know votes.
They can't be bothered to take time out of their incredibly important lives to actually give a damn.
Guessing most people that don’t vote don’t watch news at all so they probably have no idea much is different. Where I live it’s a red district in PA and basically nothing here seems different really since Trump won. I only know shit is happening b/c of social media and some people don’t look at it.
I don’t think they even know what’s happening right now. Oblivious
True
It did nothing really.....
Finally
JFGDC. Thank you! 💙 @dscc.bsky.social GOOD! To be clear though, this 🩸GOP Theft and Murder Bill is BOTH auto-genocidally devastating to public health, AND the Legislative Branch's *last* chance to have any relevancy. Democratic Congresspeople need to be MARCHING IN THE STREET, *as one*, over this.
bsky.app/profile/alex...
If Schumer had any balls they'd have one member stand up and say "I note the absence of a quorum" every 30 minutes.... everything has to pause, they do a quorum call which either takes forever or fails until mid-morning Monday... if they had balls they could delay this bill for a month that way.
Malicious compliance seems to be the way.
Chuck likes to pretend he's a hero. but he's never going to do anything.
but any single Senator who honestly wanted to grind things to a halt could show up every day and say "I note the absence of a quorum" every 30 minutes. none of them can be bothered tho'
Brilliantly evil 😈
At least that will make the GOP aware of every clause of the bill and therefore eliminate the possible 'I never knew that it would do that!' excuse when it starts even further hurting, their constituents! They WILL be held Accountable by the VOTERS come next election!
They won't have the asinine excuse, "I didn't know what was in the Bill" any longer.
Every single Republican in the House and Senate must be crushingly defeated and repudiated!! And then they all should go straight to Hell!! 👹
Beware! The cruel, vile and corrupt Republicans in Congress voted to decimate and destroy Medicaid, the ACA, social programs and the economic safety net in order to give massive tax cuts to the selfish wealthy and greedy corporations. Shameful and heinous! They must be stopped! Vote them all out!
The Fascist Republican Party! 🖕
It won't matter in the end, they will still cut it
Just delaying the inevitable
Any Politician that votes for that bill will be considered a traitor to the people of America. No excuse of "I didn't know" will be accepted.
Good! I think every single legislator needs to read every word before they vote on ANY BILL!! Why did we elect them for God’s sake?
I’m sorry but I wanted a little bit more than “We forced one of them to read it out loud”. The dem’s hardball game is making me seriously consider switching to independent. Know what would’ve been a little better - all dem Senator’s showup wearing masks & singing in chorus to bring out your dead.
I think they’re reading this so WE will hear every word. So WE will know (if we’re listening) what is included in this bill.
Yes, someone else pointed this out & it is an excellent point.
Historic… and pointless. Something the democrats are great at. It will piss off the republicans, so that’s a plus, but in the end, it’s meaningless.
Delay but not stop
*villain laugh*
Performative. Almost completely worthless.
The GOP must know we will make sure they get no votes, ever!
And yet, it’s still not enough…
Now people who vote yes cannot say they didn't know what was in the bill at midterms.
but are any GOP Senators actually there to hear it?
Exactly
It will be on the historical records who voted what way.
It's cute you think there will be midterms that are legit
I expect some kind of “national emergency” late this year or next. Which will be the excuse to suspend elections.
Yeah, when people realize the Dems are all talk and the gestapo ain't going away without a fight
That’s great.
The bill won't be implemented until...(drum roll)...2029! If we vote in a democratic president and have a majority in congress, guess who the general public will blame?
YES!
Yes, members of Congress in both chambers should be watching on YouTube LIVE now!
Democrats need to all get in like and call it the Death bill. Ever notice how all of Trump‘s team have the same saying on every press conference come on get with the program
Death Panels
Good job keep it up They'll have to go back to their constituents and look them in the eye on how utterly horrible this bill is and you can't trust a word out of the dementia tacos regime
Excellent. Especially since none of Congress has read the whole bill.
Historic? A meaningless act of desperation.
And they will still pass it when all is said and done
You have got to see this presentation by Senator Whitehouse on how your electric bill will go up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cXa... Global warming and AI will raise your electric bill by >30%. Screw you, Chuck Koch!

It is way past time, we need a 2nd revolution. No more marches. A full blown rebellion. Take these traitors down, once and for all.
What about the military?
I keep hoping they will stand up and do the right thing. Personally, they shouldn't be following any orders from this felon or his people.
About fucking time
Is this how you fight? I don't understand you Americans. No strikes? just delay?
Anything to slow down passage of the TACO47 Big Buttfuck Bill is a plus.
BFD. The Democrats should specifically and succinctly TELL people in the U.S. what bad provisions are in this Bill. Reading all 900+ pages is merely performative BS.
Anything is better than nothing. After all dems told the country over and over again what was in project 2025, and many paid them no mind. Look at us now. With that said, after they read it, they do need to keep telling people what's in it.
Sorry no! If you settle for performative BS, all you’ll ever get from your so-called leaders is performative BS. They need to do their jobs! The republicans would have a list of 3 to 4 talking points and every single one of them would hit those points multiple times.
The price of eggs. The price of gas # of people crossing the border. The deficit. It’s not hard, just takes some communication. The Dems are lazy.
The Alaskan senator Murkowski voted for the bill. She’s going to hurt many people.
Now Live on YouTube Senator Corey Booker’s channel!
I have it on Its PBS News on YouTube too I think.
FOOLED BY THE "SUSPENSE" re: THE SENATE VOTE? NO. R'S *ALWAYS* FALL IN LINE. THEY LIE TO YOUR FACE AND VOTE THE OPPOSITE. THE R POLITICAL PARTY HAS CEASED TO FUNCTION, AND THE SC HAS FOLLOWED SUIT. YOU CAN SCREAM AT DEMS ALL DAY BUT IF YOU DON'T VOTE THEM BACK IN A SUPERMAJORITY THEY CAN'T SAVE US.

Wonder what's been removed. It was over 1100 pages when I read it. Which is more than any of the slimes voting for it did.
