Nuts.
That’s all I got.
• Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, said “we have the votes” and the Senate will begin voting later today.
• Senator Susan Collins of Maine said she has secured the changes she needs to vote yes. For example, the bill will now include a $10,000 deduction for state and local property taxes.
• Three previous Republican holdouts — Senators Jeff Flake of Arizona, Steve Daines of Montana and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — threw their support behind the bill.
• An effort by Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee to include future tax increases to offset the deficit impact of the bill appears to have been rejected by Senate leadership.
• Lawmakers are now considering reinstating a modified version of the alternative minimum tax on individuals and on corporations.
This is a punch to the gut of American democracy. The people are against this, AARP, doctors, women. In this bill fetuses get personhood. What does that make women?
I am going to scream now.
