🚨MAJOR BREAKING NEWS!🚨 

We’re hearing that Republicans screwed up when they rushed their tax scam through without reading it. Now they have to RE-VOTE on it THIS WEEK.

A thread:

First, the bottom line: unless the House re-votes to fix Republicans’ mistakes, THE BILL IS DEAD.

Why? When Republicans rushed to finalize their awful bill in the middle of the night they accidentally included some provisions that aren’t allowed to be in the bill under the Senate’s rules for budget reconciliation.

House Republicans now need to take ANOTHER vote to change the bill they already passed. That’s right: they passed the bill, THEN found out what was in it, and NOW are scrambling to try to fix their mistakes.

Even now, Republicans are trying to hide this vote. Instead of having an up-or-down vote on the fixed bill, reporters have heard they’re going to just tuck the corrections into a ‘rule’ resolution for another bill.

It’s not just that they’re hiding it—Republican leadership is trying to be clever by tying these fixes to the rule for their bill to legalize a bunch of harmful DOGE cuts.

Basically, Republican leadership thinks that @RepMTG @USRepMikeFlood @RepThomasMassie @Rep_Davidson @RepScottPerry @elonmusk and others will fold and support the terrible tax bill just because they’re using the DOGE cuts as a Trojan horse to hide the reality of the re-vote.

@SpeakerJohnson can bring those DOGE cuts up anytime—without being linked to this re-vote—he doesn’t even need a rule to do so because rescissions are privileged!

@RepMTG @USRepMikeFlood @RepThomasMassie @Rep_Davidson @RepScottPerry @elonmusk So there is about to be a major moment of truth for the folks on the right who have talked a big game over the past couple of weeks. Will they stand up for what they believe in or chicken out (again)?

YOU can make a difference: RT this 🧵to make sure people know that Congress has to RE-VOTE on the Republican tax scam. VOTE NO and KILL the BIG UGLY AWFUL BILL once and for all.
