Schumer holding presser now decrying tax bill, but is too predictable & CNN cuts away to show GOP senators boarding buses to the WH. Why not bring out @SenWarren or someone with more fire? Why not pound Trump on tax returns?

The unspoken question is whether or not the tax bill was already baked into the stock market cake. I think it probably was, and when the fed starts raising interest rates we're in for a hard ride https://t.co/io8ys3KXO2

Sad to see GOP Senators & House reps from the poorest Southern states standing at the White House, celebrating & gloating about passing a tax bill that will hurt the poorest people & redistribute wealth to the richest.

I had a Republican source tell me quite plainly: @BobCorker and other Republicans don't care what Americans say. They are "cashing out." That's what this GOP tax bill is about.

It is possible – just a possibility, not clear yet – that the House may have to vote again on tax bill. There are Byrd problems with several "small" provisions. Unclear if House will have to re-vote the bill. Checking.
