I am calling so much that I find myself occasionally dropping the F bomb as I ask these people why they wish to turn us all into coal miners breathing black dust and dying because the hospitals are closed, or because the hospitals have no electricity to run on. HAVE YOU NO SHAME, I shout, hoping someone will hear me bc I have to keep using the voice mail option.
My mother would be so proud. (Not) I just got my friend, the clerk at the post office, to call. Now I am headed to the grocery store to give the phone numbers to my friends there. NOTE: Edited so that it might become actual grammar. I was literally typing into my phone while running through the PA heat from the post office to the grocery store. My apologies, all.
Beth is an eloquent, fiery warrior who has been a leader in the fight this whole time. This space is really special because its devoted to cheering each other on as we each do what we can. Even if someone had just come to realize what's happening today, well, welcome to the fight!
Hi @Simon Rosenberg I apologize again for being tone deaf with my comments. I want to be supportive moving forward.
To that point, I have been trying to build momentum around Dr Greenwood’s diagnosis of Trump. See below link. I have contacted several Politicians and others. I have an overview I want to send you outside of this forum as I do not want to dilute your focus in any way. Please let me know if you have any interest. Thanks
Hello Gary, as a long-time commentor on this site, my suggestion is you hold off on the diagnosis material for now. Today's mandate is call your elected representatives re: ugly bill and, if you wish, report back on the comments about your calls.
I hope every single Republican who votes for this God awful bill loses their seat. My “avid investor” congressional seditionist, David Rouzer, has already voted for it once. These bought and paid for Republicans will rue the day they voted for the crazy orange felon’s whims.The damage this bill will do to the country goes beyond mere dollars and sense. The red, rural states will get hurt the worst. Republicans DO NOT CARE ABOUT ORDINARY PEOPLE.
Imho, it would be opportune for Democrats to propose a "Deficit Reduction Amendment" that quite simply strikes the extension of Trump’s tax cuts, as well as his additional tax reductions, from the Big Ugly Bill.
In glowing words we can describe how Democrats want to seize this golden opportunity to reduce the budget deficit and reduce the debt burden of future generations of Americans.
These are, of course, issues that Republicans claim to care about, so this will really highlight the Trump/MAGA/GOP hypocrisy.
I called both my Senators to suggest they strike the 2017 tax extension which will instantly reduce the deficit. I also asked them to reach out to their constituents for suggested amendments. With the power of the people behind them, maybe we can extend this all the way until Friday (July 4 ... take that Trump)
If that were to happen, no one could say that Dem Senators were not doing enough. Maybe McConnell and Grassley would stroke out and create a couple more open seats.
I also donated to Ossof and Sherrill today and Spanberger yesterday through Hopium
Arctic...I sent your great amendment idea on to my Senators. I hope they bring it up in the vote-o-rama. Indivisible has a form in which anyone can send an idea for an amendment or amendments (I sent more than one). I posted the link to BlueSky but here it is:
1)Given the enormity of the responsibility of the Secretary of Defense to protect the national security, that person should be subject to a breathalyzer test upon entry to the Pentagon, and also additonally when behavior calls sobriety into question.
2) Given the Trillions of dollars that pass through the major stock exchanges, all transactions shall encumber 0.1 % (one tenth of one percent) surcharge for BOTH the buyer and seller of the total price value of the security. Proceeds go to reducing the deficit
KEY INFO: As of 4:35pm, the Senate is still in holding pattern while the Senate Parliamentarian gives the Big Ugly Bill its final "Byrd Bath". The official Vote-A-Rama hasn’t started yet. We may see the Parliamentarian demand further changes.
THOUGHT #1: If the bill changes, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should demand that the revised bill be read aloud – in its revised entirety!
THOUGHT #2: If the bill changes significantly, can Democrats demand a new cloture vote? If so, do it.
THOUGHT #3: Senators Rand Paul and Thom Tillis have already indicated that they will vote NO on the Big Ugly Bill. An additional five (5!) Republicans have not yet committed to voting for approval of the final bill. Democrats (and callers) should try to do some serious arm-twisting and appeal to their conscience.
Stones! I like thought 1 and 2. July 4 is a totally arbitrary deadline. Why do they bend the knee to this stinky shell of a demented declining narcassist? What kind of judgement do these Maga Morons in the Senate demonstrate? They will be totally shamed and embarrassed when this thing plays out.
and then it's time for consequences, i.e. jail time for treasonous traitors. Be patient... it will come to pass.
Guess what? The World Cup and the Olympics are going to be a total embarrasment.
"Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!
"And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth."
"If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a voice."
I live in NY-17. Called Mike Lawler's office Friday and again this morning. Both times got a live person who listened to me but said nothing other than that they'd pass along my comments. Today I pointed out that the bill was made worse by the Senate and that's not merely my opinion - the CBO, Chamber of Commerce, unions and hospital associations think it's a disaster.
Hey all, took the plunge and subscribed just now. Been reading all your comments for close to a year now (sorry for free-loading so long!) and just want to thank you all for your inspiring actions.
I call my two d***-head senators in Texas every weekday; called Cornyn TWICE today, suggesting he take a page from Thillis’ book, grow a pair and vote against this bill even if it means he doesn’t get ANOTHER precious term (he’s had PLENTY).
Thanks again, and as Simon says (lol) I’m proud to be in the fight with y’all.
Thank you, Simon! I've called Senators Alsobrooks and Van Hollen and encouraged them to keep introducing amendments as long as possible. I've also asked them to do quorum calls. I called Congressman Raskin to ask what the Congress will do to slow this bill down. I'm writing postcards to Virginia voters today.
The DNC has announced "Organizing Summer." CBS reports that, "
POLITICS
To help party brand, Democrats prepare "Organizing Summer"
By Hunter Woodall, Zak Hudak
June 30, 2025 / 5:00 AM EDT / CBS News
An alliance of leading national Democratic groups is preparing a new effort this summer focused on driving voter engagement as the party tries to regain support following its defeats in 2024.
The plans, first obtained by CBS News, fall under the label of what these groups have dubbed "Organizing Summer." While this year has relatively few major statewide elections, such as gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, the 2026 midterms will be a crucial test for a party that is trying to respond to the lessons learned from Republicans' wins in last year's campaigns, including the presidential race. The groups behind the summer organizing effort include the Democratic National Committee, the Democrats' coalition of state parties as well as the campaign arms for House, Senate and gubernatorial contests.
The DNC alone intends to initially invest a six-figure dollar amount in the wide-ranging effort, with plans to scale to seven figures as the summer goes on.
"For too long, the DNC has been a D.C. institution, and we're trying to get the DNC out of DC and into the states through this program," a Democratic strategist familiar with the plans said.
The summer program is focused on voter engagement and registration, particularly with voters who wouldn't otherwise hear Democrats' messaging. The DNC has signed up 16,000 volunteers, twice as many as it typically has in an off-election year, according to a Democratic strategist familiar with the plans. As part of the summer effort, Democrats will urge volunteers to connect with voters in less politically dominated parts of life, with the outline of the plan pointing to community groups, book clubs and social media platforms as examples.

I once again called my AZ Rep Greg Stanton and my two senators Kelly and Gallego to vote against the reconciliation bill. Stanton's office told me that he feels the way I do and voted against the bill when it was in the House and will vote against it again if it passes in the Senate. But I'm confused on the procedural manipulations employed by the Senate majority leader. It seems the GOP is always gaming the system. I'm also appalled by Lisa Murkowski's back room deal to spare Alaska while giving a big FU to the rest of the country. We're the United States of America not the United State of Alaska.
I'm grateful for Sen. Tillis speaking out loudly against the bill -- which he knows will hurt many people in North Carolina. Hawley of MO also was throwing out his misgivings over it -- since it will hurt many in his state too. But then he did an about face.
"Yeah, but he'd get primaried" .. is the easy, superficial answer. I have my doubts, which go back to Murkowski's comments about people being physically afraid.
Time to get out of the kitchen if they can't stand the heat. They should ask our veterans about being afraid, or for that matter, those at risk of deportation or losing health care if they choose to pass this bill.
I was in a protest in a small town, Pine Meadow, CT, yesterday. It was located on a small green next to a church but facing a busy road, Rte. 44. Many of us had to have someone help us and many including myself, had to bring a folding chair because at our age our ailments and stamina are beginning to wear us down physically. We know this bill will kill us.
It is already starting. In March, several treatments that I received Medicare denied the claims, though they had been allowed last year. Every 4 months I have had, for the past year, treatments for my back. Apparently, no more. Treatments to stop agonizing pain that allow me to walk are no longer considered medically necessary. Neither are breast ultrasounds- this is being appealed on the basis that I had recently had successful surgery for breast cancer.
So, I am fighting, not for me, but my autistic son who has an aide paid for by Medicaid and he does some volunteering with her bringing day olds from a grocery chain to an agency feeding the poor but this is not the 20 hours a week the government wants.
My husband, whose VA benefits just include medical for him, is older than I am helps wIth a small garden for us and for the soup kitchen. I want our son to be able to live in our home after we are gone but he needs his very expensive meds and his 30 hour a week aide paid for by Medicare and Medicaid. I don't know what will happen to him if this ugly, life-ending bill passes. So I will call again, protest next month again until I am no longer able.
Virginia, I am so sorry to hear about these challenges— it’s amazing that you have the energy to help at the soup kitchen, too! Thank you!
Have you heard of the website, Home of the Brave? They are collecting the voices of people hurt by this regime’s policies. Perhaps you’ll want to contribute, or simply find solace from reading about others who are persevering, as you are.
I don't work at the soup kitchen, I can no longer stand long enough to do food prep, but I grow squash, tomatoes, peppers and cukes and give them what I can't use. Only have a small plot, but then my husband won't eat squash and my son's vitamins come in pill form.
Thank you! You are amazing! And I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I am a cancer survivor and will be retiring soon. I am fighting for you and for all of us!
I know my D senators are fighting hard. I've been focusing on getting family members to call and also promoting 5calls and posting facts aggressively on social media. I've been targeting major donors of Murkowski and others to ask them to use their influence to advocate for a NO vote.
Hard to have any faith in Collins but yesterday I saw that her numbers are tanking in Maine. A new Pine Tree State poll in Maine finds Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) at just 14% favorability and with an unfavorability of 57%. Mills should run against her.
That was the reason Tillis said that he voted for Hegseth after claiming he wouldn't. At the point, I think it's time these GOP folks start thinking seriously about the company they're keeping!
She will vote against what her constituents want. She must be very afraid, but we have to live with the consequences of her votes. She is too old to run again. She should follow the Tillis lead.
Talking point:: If the Republicans claim that the reconciliation bill only raises the debt $400 billion is true, then why are they raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion?
I am calling so much that I find myself occasionally dropping the F bomb as I ask these people why they wish to turn us all into coal miners breathing black dust and dying because the hospitals are closed, or because the hospitals have no electricity to run on. HAVE YOU NO SHAME, I shout, hoping someone will hear me bc I have to keep using the voice mail option.
FBombs are appropriate now for FFS.
My mother would be so proud. (Not) I just got my friend, the clerk at the post office, to call. Now I am headed to the grocery store to give the phone numbers to my friends there. NOTE: Edited so that it might become actual grammar. I was literally typing into my phone while running through the PA heat from the post office to the grocery store. My apologies, all.
Here's another idea for an amendment in the-vote a-rama.
NVM, I'm posting ideas at the back of this thread. Use this link to make your own. Lets BLOWOVER the Senate with this strategy. Thanks Lisa I.
https://act.indivisible.org/letter/amendment-reconciliation-bill/
Far cheaper than bunker-busters, and maybe just as effective.
I like the coal miner point very much.
Drop those F bombs more! These people need to wake the F up!!
And even rural hospitals that stay open might have to take steps like cutting their labor and delivery services. F-bombs away!
I haven’t dropped the F bomb, though it is absolutely justified. I always get choked up when I describe the harm they plan, and end up crying.
Gimme a break. You just realized this? I’m sure you didn’t!!
What does this mean?

Great info🙌🏻🇺🇸!!!!!
This is brilliant. I'm going to do this!
just called back my 2 DEM Senators and proposed just that. Only able to leave messages for both, but we will see what happens!

Great resource, thank you
Thanks, I had not had a chance to do this yet. Just got through the list!
Hard to have any faith in Collins but yesterday I saw that her numbers are tanking in Maine. A new Pine Tree State poll in Maine finds Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) at just 14% favorability and with an unfavorability of 57%. Mills should run against her.
I suspect she is terrified by death threats. She should read the writing on the wall and follow Tillis's lead.
That was the reason Tillis said that he voted for Hegseth after claiming he wouldn't. At the point, I think it's time these GOP folks start thinking seriously about the company they're keeping!
And listen to Joni Ernst: 'We're all gonna die anyway.'
She will vote against what her constituents want. She must be very afraid, but we have to live with the consequences of her votes. She is too old to run again. She should follow the Tillis lead.
Talking point:: If the Republicans claim that the reconciliation bill only raises the debt $400 billion is true, then why are they raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion?
Working the phones. Sent out talking points and phone numbers to our local action group.
Did resist bot with 3 repub reps this am. just emailed paul, murkowski, collins & tillis.
Yay! Have been thanking senators for the no vote too!
