@jonfavs Blows my mind all these people voted yes to save their jobs which will matter exactly zero in a little over a year.

@lisamurkowski you're offensive. You're also a traitor who did get a bailout for your vote. That's a bribe, and yes, it's offensive.

@lisamurkowski Someone needs to do a random drug test on you because your judgment is pretty effed up.

She sold out the country so she can keep snaps but lose Medicaid. What a coward. What will she do when the Gestapo she just funded to vote will come after her?

Typical republican. "I got mine, screw everyone else."

Cory Booker lays out the current situation with the OBBB and where the possible Republican “no” votes could come from: So here we have a situation where we need four votes to stop this bill. We already have two: Thom Tillis and Rand Paul. They’re voting against it—one because of the massive budget deficits (that’s Rand Paul), and the other because he’s just telling the truth about the devastating impact this bill would have on Medicaid, on people’s healthcare premiums, and on knocking people off healthcare altogether—especially the impact on rural hospitals. Thom Tillis has been ripping the truth out on the floor about the hypocrisy of this bill. But we need two more. One of them could be Lisa Murkowski. She’s from Alaska, and she was trying to get a lot into this bill that would have exempted Alaska—held it harmless from many of the Medicaid cuts. She tried to put those protections in the bill, but they got bounced out by the parliamentarian as not eligible under the reconciliation process. She also tried to exempt Alaska from the SNAP cuts—from the food stamp cuts—and that, too, got bounced. So the question is: Does she still vote for this bill, even though she knows it’s going to cost Alaskans a lot? It’s going to cost Alaskan hospitals a lot? I just don’t know. That’s someone I know a lot of people are talking to and trying to convince. Another person is Susan Collins. Remember—it was Murkowski, Collins, and John McCain who voted to save the Affordable Care Act in 2017. The impact of this bill is going to affect millions more than losing the ACA would. It’s not just going to threaten rural hospitals, or millions of people who rely on Medicaid—it’s going to jack up premiums for so many Americans. Some folks will just tap out and say, “I can’t afford to pay $900 more for healthcare—I’ll just take the risk.” And that’s going to mean millions of Americans are going to lose their healthcare as a result. So the question is: What do those two do? Now, there are some wildcards. I’ve heard Josh Hawley say very clearly, “We shouldn’t be taking healthcare away from millions of Americans just to give tax cuts to millionaires.” If he holds to that, maybe he’s going to flip on this. There are others I think maybe could change overnight—John Curtis from Utah, or maybe even someone like Ron Johnson, who has said he wouldn’t support a bill that massively explodes the budget deficit. So—we have work to do. We’re not giving up until the final moment. And even if we lose here in the Senate—it’s not over. Then it goes over to the House. There are more than a dozen members over there who’ve said they would vote against it. Let’s see if they cave to Donald Trump. But we should be putting the pressure on.
