So Representative Roy & VP Pence and all the Republicans, many who say: run the Government like a business, refuse to even consider: Revenue Increases as a legitimate alternative. Tax Increases can REDUCE our deficits
Wow, what a mess. Thank you for the dogged coverage, Mr. Dupree. What was most fascinating to me about the CR votes — Elon Musk had more juice with lawmakers than the president-elect. Turns out, a measly $277 mil can buy an immigrant billionaire a shadow presidency. In comparison, Twitter set him back $44 billion.
This is fascinating stuff to watch. It was really quiet in the Speaker's Lobby after the vote yesterday. Republicans know this 118th Congress has been a disaster for them legislatively.
Johnson was whining that Democrats ALWAYS want to raise the debt ceiling, so they’re hypocrites for not voting for it now.
Sure.
But the filthy republicans ALWAYS vote against raising it, and are the actual hypocrites for voting for it now to give carte blanch to the rapist that they fear so much.
Dems only want the ability to run the government and keep our credit… these cowards only want to give unlimited tax cuts to the rich.
This is may second year with you Jamie. I don't remember why a Google searched you and found your newsletter. It's one of the first things I read each morning. Then I read the comments. Thanks for the excellent work. Merry Christmas to you and your family. We will survive these next four years and if most of your commenter's are correct the democrats will hold the white house for a long time. It at least congress.
There’s no one to stop him. And it’s not disinformation, it’s lies. Amazing how cheap he bought America for, but republicans loved just handing him everything they own, just to own the libs.
(When Republicans took over the House last year, they vowed again and again) - doesn't matter what they "vow" - they're incompetent, they're liars, they're a disgrace. Yes you, Tim Burchett.
Trump has said that he wants the debt limit raised now, so it's Biden's fault. Should Biden say now that he will veto a debt limit increase, and if Trump wants one, he can sign it? That way, pushing the debt limit increase is pushing for a shutdown.

Seems obvious, doesn't it?

Exactly. And it’s already paid off… he’s $200 BILLION richer than before the election. And the morons who don’t have a dime to their name cheer.
Thank you for covering all this CR mess Jamie!

“allow Elon Musk to spread disinformation”

It’s always interesting to see how low of a price they sell out for.

Jamie, thank you for your consistently good reporting that puts this drama into context for all of us.
Does this mean you'll be working the weekend?
That's the way it looks
You won’t be missing any golf. Too cold.🥶
