A key House committee just advanced a sweeping Trump-backed bill that would reshape everything from health care and taxes to immigration and energy.

Last Friday the bill was returned, now - without changes - it was advanced. How?

Reports reveal it didn’t pass on merit — it passed because undisclosed “side deals” were quietly struck by Republicans to flip holdout lawmakers into supporting the bill.

These backroom agreements have not been made public, and yet they influenced major federal legislation that will affect millions of Americans.

We don’t know what was promised. We don’t know what was traded. And we don’t know who benefits — but we all live with the consequences.

We call on the House Rules Committee, House leadership, and the Office of Congressional Ethics to immediately disclose the details of any side deals or private concessions made to secure votes on this bill

Ban legislative side deals that are not part of the publicly debated bill text.

Transparency is not optional in a democracy. If deals are shaping our laws, the public deserves to know what they are — and who made them.
