Friendly reminder that while House Democrats prepare to pass historic legislation that will cut taxes for the middle class, create better lives for America’s children, expand affordable health care, combat the climate crisis, and ensure corporations pay their fair share in taxes, Republicans are fighting amongst themselves instead of coming to the table and working to govern.
It's a sharp contrast:
“Ahead of a vote on Democrats’ biggest agenda item, the GOP conference is embroiled in messy internal spats that have spilled into public view, including the censure Wednesday of a far-right House member, the first such vote in more than a decade. At the same time, some rank-and-file Republicans are still pushing to punish their own colleagues for backing a bipartisan bill reviled by former President Donald Trump.”
It's a sharp contrast:
- House Democrats are preparing to pass the Build Back Better Act, following on this week’s signing of the historic infrastructure law, which will repair and modernize our nation’s infrastructure while creating good-paying jobs and building climate resilience (priorities so important to the American people that even Republicans who voted against it are taking credit for the wins it delivers)
- Republicans are busy 1) threatening to kick their Members off committees – not for threatening to kill another Members, but for the egregious sin of voting for new bridges and roads; and 2) defending a Member of their Conference for the indefensible.
