What happened early this morning — voting on the GOP tax bill just mere hours after Senators received the final text — was irresponsible and downright disrespectful to the American people. What was in the bill was even worse. I voted NO.
UPDATE: Republicans rejected our motion to adjourn until Monday so senators could read the bill they just introduced. RT If you think senators should have time to read a bill that affects every single American.
Here it is: 500 pages of special interest provisions, written in back rooms with lobbyists and no time for senators – let alone the American people – to read it before voting. We need to start over and work together to cut taxes for working people, not corporations.
This is how we’re writing legislation now?
I was just handed a 479-page tax bill a few hours before the vote. One page literally has hand scribbled policy changes on it that can’t be read. This is Washington, D.C. at its worst. Montanans deserve so much better.
Sen. Tester posts a video of himself lambasting the 479-page GOP tax bill that he says he has just received, and will likely be called to vote on in a few hours: "This is Washington, D.C. at its worst."
NEW THIS MORNING: Republicans are rewriting their bill in secret. They don’t have the votes, but it’s clear they’re DESPERATE to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING done. We have to keep up the pressure. #GOPTaxPlan
After careful consideration I’ve decided to support this bill. Just kidding I haven’t read it yet because it doesn’t exist yet and that would be ridiculous.

Cutting Medicare, Medicaid by 1.5 trillion not enough for them. Now making PRIVATE retirement savings harder. We've got to kill this bill.
