WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 25: Sen. John McCain (L) (R-AZ) returns to the U.S. Senate accompanied by his wife Cindy (R) July 25, 2017 in Washington, DC. McCain was recently diagnosed with brain cancer but returned on the day the Senate is holding a key procedural vote on U.S. President Donald TrumpÕs effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act..

So I wonder what Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), has to say about this departure from "regular order"?

Source has told colleague @yabutaleb7 that Rs will *write* skinny bill @ today's policy lunch. Unclear if wish list meets reconciliation.

They’re writing the bill they will pass tonight at lunch today. Oh, and because they won’t have time for the Congressional Budget Office to score it, they’ll score it themselve s, because sure why the hell not?

I’m sure McCain is going to go to that lunch today and refuse to go along with this travesty, right?

JAM THE PHONE LINES. Call your Senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell them repealing Obamacare is SICK, MEAN and CRUEL. (After you call, please tell us how it went.)
