There’s still a lot of work to be done on reconciliation, the vehicle for the GOP’s legislative agenda: tax cuts for billionaires, paid for by everyone else.
In keeping with the start of baseball season, an apt analogy is that the second inning has just begun.
The Senate and House GOP are far apart in many areas, especially with regard to spending cuts. Over the next two weeks, before the spring recess begins, leadership in both chambers will try to reach agreement on—and pass—a unified framework.
But they continue to delay the hard part: filling in the details. The actual legislation won’t be written—or come to the floor for a vote—until later this spring, maybe summer.
Your advocacy has already had an impact and helped slow down the legislation. Keep the pressure on, and keep weighing in. Tell Congress what you think!
In solidarity,

The first step toward more tax cuts for billionaires, paid for by everyone else, it opens the door to a menu of devastating cuts for the public schools that educate 90% of Americans.
