Indivisibles, the goalposts are moving on Capitol Hill.

After months pledging that Trump would sign his Medicaid-slashing,
billionaire-enriching reconciliation bill by July 4, Senate Republicans
are now sprinting just to line up a vote by that date -- with weeks or
months of back-and-forth with the House likely to follow. Their delay is
due, in large part, to our collective pressure on Congress and our work
making this bill politically toxic.

Now, we’re turning the pressure up even further by calling millions of
Medicaid recipients about stopping the cuts next week! [ [link removed] ]Will you
volunteer two hours June 23-26 to connect at-risk Medicaid recipients
directly to their GOP senators?

Since the reconciliation bill squeaked through the House a few weeks ago,
the Senate has proposed dramatic changes -- only adding to the divides
between right-wing and far right-wing factions in the party:

* ON MEDICAID, Senate Republicans plan to cut funding even further and
shift more of the financial burden onto states. That’s making “budget
hawks” happy but risks losing support from vulnerable Republicans in
both chambers. Republicans also remain deeply divided on so-called
work requirements. They're all more than happy to take healthcare away
from people, but who and how many will be cut is driving internal
strife.
* ON STATE/LOCAL TAXES, Senate Republicans blew up “the SALT Deal” that
Speaker Johnson needs to keep blue-state Republicans in line. Without
a resolution, House Republicans from New York, California, and other
blue states may flip to NO votes.
* ON ENERGY INVESTMENT, Republicans in both chambers remain wildly
divided over tax incentives for eco-friendly purchases like electric
vehicles. Hard-right Republicans want them cut entirely and
immediately; most others -- even their top donor Elon Musk --
disagree. Neither side seems ready to back down.
* ON JUDICIAL POWERS, Senate leaders plan to replace the House’s No
Contempt Clause with a different, but no less horrifying, attack on
courts’ ability to hold Trump officials in check. It’s a dangerous
ploy that likely runs afoul of Senate rules.

There are no easy fixes for Republican leadership here. The divides are so
deep, and the cuts so politically toxic, that we have a real shot at
flipping four votes to stop reconciliation in the Senate outright [ [link removed] ]like
we did in 2017.

And passing this bill through the Senate isn’t even the hardest part!
Either the House will have to vote again to pass the Senate’s version, or
party leaders will need to come up with a third version that can pass both
chambers.

We can kill this bill by building a strong, cross-party coalition of
Americans who strongly oppose it. That’s why we’re calling Medicaid
recipients and urging them to connect with their senators.

Republicans hope to queue up Senate votes on this horrific bill as soon as
next week. Let’s not waste a moment ensuring they hear our voices and feel
our anger.
