Congress has their hands full this week — A #TaxScamBill showdown, gun bills, Dream Act, CHIP funding, and, oh yeah, a potential government shutdown Friday at midnight. ⏰

Here's a quick rundown of what to expect and what to get loud about... (THREAD)
MONDAY NIGHT: The House will vote to move forward on the #TaxScamBill! Most likely to send it to Conference Committee, but *slight* chance they'll just pass the Senate bill. Either way, CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS NOW. 🔥📞🔥

If the #TaxScamBill goes to Conference Committee, a window of opportunity opens up to derail the bill. House/Senate could struggle to reconcile differences, previously agreed upon caveats may fail (👉Collins, Flake👈). We must get LOUDER than ever before!! (3/x)
WEDS: The House will vote on HR 38, the NRA's "top legislative priority" which will override state gun restrictions and expand concealed carry across the country.

By FRI, Congress must pass an extension of the federal budget to avoid a government shutdown. One thing that has to be included? CHIP funding!!!

Colorado is already sending out warning letters re: coverage loss.

9 million kids are at risk.

Congress also continues to debate when is the right time to pass a DACA fix. The answer is NOW.

Hundreds of DACA recipients lose their protections each week that goes by.

This is what Trump and the GOP consider a "Victory":

1/ Increasing the deficit by $1.5+ trillion, paving the way for massive spending cuts on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education, veterans programs and more,
2/ giving the largest tax cut to corporations (from 35% to 21%!) which will lead to higher profits for shareholders and not higher wages for workers,
3/ exacerbating our already staggering income inequality with greater tax breaks for the wealthy than low-income and middle class Americans (83% of the benefits go to the top 1%),
