(Reuters) -U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday said Democrats will force the Republicans' 940-page tax and spending bill to be read out loud in full on the Senate floor.
"Republicans won't tell America what's in the bill. So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor," Schumer said in a post on X. "We will be here all night if that's what it takes to read it."

Lawyers for lobbyists and business interest groups write most of our legislation.

Hopefully their lawyers are discovering all the shit in there so the Democrats can publicize it.

As they should. And it should be on the news. This should not be controversial.

At least it's shorter than it was (1116 pages originally), but it could still stand to lose about 300 more pages.

who is going to listen? Empty chamber? The testimony we usually hear is with no other members present.
