Please read the article linked below re: a strategy to stop the so-called Big Beautiful Bill. From the article: “Georgia State University assistant professor and former House Oversight Committee staffer Todd Phillips laid this out (https://prospect.org/politics/2025-05-06-how-to-tie-up-most-precious-resource-in-washington-cra/) in a Prospect piece earlier this month. Any 30 senators can force a CRA resolution (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/802) onto the floor, with a required ten hours of debate time. These resolutions would need the president’s signature, and nearly all of them wouldn’t even get the Republican votes necessary to pass the Senate. But according to Senate procedure, they have to be dealt with if enough senators force them onto the floor. They must be debated and voted upon ahead of other Senate business if brought up for consideration. This means that Democrats can tie up the Senate floor for upwards of ten hours with any single CRA resolution.” The article is here: https://prospect.org/politics/2025-05-28-senate-democrats-stop-big-beautiful-bill/
