Politico: “Now Democrats will look to the “vote-a-rama” process to crank up the pressure and squeeze vulnerable Republican incumbents on a range of Trump priorities and controversies.”
“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office said Democrats will offer amendments related to high costs of living, masked immigration raids, the Iran war, ‘secret payouts, cop-beater checks, ballroom favors, and Trump family corruption.’”
“High on Democrats’ amendment list: Attacking the Justice Department’s new $1.8 billion ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund,’ which many Republicans were already uneasy about. Democrats have called the money a ‘slush fund’ for Trump allies after officials didn’t rule out that the pot could go toward those charged with storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”
Playbook: “Vote-a-rama should kick off in the Senate today as Republicans press ahead with their $72 billion reconciliation package. Get ready for a microcosm of the bitter midterm battles to come.”
“Dems are prepping a barrage of amendments, which taken together will provide a sneak preview of their core messages to voters as we barrel toward Election Day.”
