Show notes
This week was quieter than usual as we wait for decisions to come down before the year wraps up:
- The House Special Committee recommended charging Mark Meadows with contempt of congress after phone calls, text messages, and even Powerpoints revealed Meadow’s had plenty of information ahead of January 6.
- President Biden, Senator Schumer, and others have continued to lobby Senator Manchin to pass the climate and social spending bill before Christmas, but final, last-minute revisions are still coming in, making the process long and difficult.
- If Democrats want to preserve the child tax credit, they need to meet the December 31st deadline, a hard date that could either work as a forcing mechanism, or end up blotting out one of Democrat's biggest political wins.
