Washington, DC- The House has voted to go to conference on the disastrous tax scheme advanced by Senate Republicans.
Meanwhile, the Senate’s decision to include opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling in this bill has caused backlash by some Republicans in the House.
In their haste to pass any sort of legislation this session, Senate Republican Leadership made a series of promises to Senators like Flake and Collins that they may very well break. The rushed process also resulted in serious tax policy errors that are only now being discovered, including, bizarrely, scrambling their core goal of slashing corporate taxes.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Scott Pruitt’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a hearing for the reconsideration -- with intent to repeal -- pollution limits from glider kit trucks (freight trucks with a used engine installed in an otherwise new frame). The repeal would declassify "glider kits" as new vehicles or engines, making them no longer subject to air pollution control requirements. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt announced his intent to revisit the glider loophole that was just closed in August of 2016.
The rally brought together Native American tribes, state representatives, youth leaders, business owners, and performers in a display of devotion for the public lands with cultural, ecological, recreational, spiritual, and historical values.
