When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

What happened with the funding freeze and the bizarre recission of the memo yet continuation of the order?
It was all a legal gambit to get rid of the court cases, a gambit that will likely fail because Trump's Press Secretary kept running her mouth.
I explain in @thenation.com
Don’t Be Fooled: The Funding Freeze Drama Is Not Over
While the White House claimed to have rescinded the memo implementing the order it then made clear that the order itself—and possibly the freeze—are still in place.
