The Senate’s passage of the tax bill came hours after the House of Representatives voted 227-203 in favor of the measure, with zero Democrats and 227 Republicans voting yes, and 191 Democrats and 12 Republicans voting against it. However, parliamentary procedures will require the House to vote again today after small, technical changes were made to the legislation. This is Georgia Democratic congressmember, the civil rights leader John Lewis.

Rep John Lewis: “This is not fair, it is not just, and it is below the dignity and worth of this body. Mr. Speaker, I’ve said on many occasions that you cannot get blood from a turnip. You cannot justify robbing poor Peter to pay billionaire Paul. Mr. Speaker, when this bill comes due, the chickens will come home to roost. I urge all of my colleagues to be on the right side of history and vote against this act.”

An analysis by the Tax Policy Institute found that, by 2027, the tax bill would give the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans 83 percent of the tax cut. The bill would also end the federal health insurance mandate, endangering the Affordable Care Act, while opening up drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. President Trump has called a 1 p.m. news conference today where he’s expected to celebrate his first major legislative victory.
