The discharge petition is meant to pressure Republicans as they assemble their party-line megabill.

The content at the provided URL discusses a strategic move by House Democrats, led by Rep.

Democrats are urging their Republican colleagues to support the petition to ensure continued support for millions of Americans relying on these programs.
