BREAKING: Senate GOP can’t get tax bill done tonight. They will try again tomorrow. And so will we.
— Andy Slavitt (@ASlavitt) December 1, 2017
The Republicans had to delay votes on this tax bill until tomorrow. They're rewriting it right now and we don't even know what's in it. This is no way to govern. We need you to keep up the pressure & keep up the calls.

Near as I can tell, the Senate is currently debating a tax bill that the Senate not only has not yet written, but that it does not even know how to write.

This is a table that the Senate GOP didn't want you to see. They were sitting on it for 2 days. It shows that over 80% (yup, 4 out of 5) of ALL households end up with a tax increase or get basically nothing from their so-called "middle class tax cut." pic.twitter.com/JhiNYjZ3Dk

Summing up my earlier threads:
Bob Corker and Jeff Flake briefly swung into the "yes" column predicated on a provision that has now been shot down by the Senate rules guru.
Senate R's are suddenly scrambling to make MAJOR changes to their bill to keep it from going down. https://t.co/glVX7w7P4f

Shocker:
Treasury Sec Mnuchin promised an analysis showing tax cuts will pay for themselves.
But Treasury has not released it yet, one source admits, because no such analysis exists:https://t.co/r13eAEbim2 pic.twitter.com/6MOoVKidfv

Meanwhile..
Huge questions for the entire Stormont machine from evidence at RHI inquiry today:
1) Department paid experts £100k because it lacked expertise;
2) Experts didn't propose an RHI scheme;
3) Dept didn't like that;
4) Experts agreed to change their report. https://t.co/boFaA5mzk1— Sam McBride (@SJAMcBride) November 30, 2017
