SHOT/CHASER: Democrats Propose 500+ Amendments to Protect Working Families… While Republicans Rush To Give Billionaires Another Handout
July 2, 2025

SHOT: Democrats filed over 500 amendments to protect the American people and delay the GOP’s disastrous bill — which only gets more unpopular the more folks learn about it.
- Americans oppose Trump’s budget 2 to 1 — and opposition grows to 7 to 1 when people hear about the bill’s drastic cuts
- Republicans oppose their own party’s budget 3 to 1 when they learn about the bill’s impacts
- 3 in 4 Americans view Medicaid favorably, including 71% of independents and 64% of Republicans
CHASER: … while Republicans rush to pass their devastating bill before their own members can even read it — all to meet Donald Trump’s self-imposed July 4th deadline and give their billionaire backers another round of tax handouts.
Representative Chip Roy: “Have you been able to read the bill?” …
House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington: “I have not read through the entirety of it.”
MSNBC: “The July 4 deadline is, to be clear, entirely self-imposed. There is no statutory reason the bill must become law this coming weekend. The next major legislative deadline is not until August”
