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.

They're simply going to stop enforcement of the civil rights act entirely.
🚨 BREAKING: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has REMOVED their pages on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity discrimination.
Legally, Title VII and Bostock v Clayton Co still stand, so it's unclear if the EEOC is just removing it from their website or not enforcing it at all
