Four years ago insurrectionists incited by Donald Trump attacked the seat of American democracy in an attempt to overturn an election. Many seek to erase this event from history, but they will fail. We honor the officers who protected the Capitol, some of whom are no longer with us.

Excellent news: the $2,000 yearly cap on Medicare prescription drug costs just kicked in! This is one of many cost-saving measures enacted by Democrats in the Inflation Reduction Act -- every Republican in Congress voted against it. www.cnn.com/2024/12/31/p...
Seniors won’t pay more than $2,000 for drugs at the pharmacy starting in January | CNN Politics
Medicare beneficiaries who take a lot of pricey medications will get a big break come 2025. That’s when the $2,000 annual cap on out-of-pocket costs for drugs bought at the pharmacy or through mail or...

Jimmy Carter lived a life of kindness, compassion, and decency. He never forgot his roots as a Navy veteran and peanut farmer, never stopped fighting racism and oppression, and never stopped helping others or working to make the world a better place. A great human being.

Seven years ago, President Donald Trump's TCJA provided massive tax cuts to the wealthiest 1% of Americans. Extending these tax cuts would add nearly $4 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years, with hundreds of billions more in interest costs.   It would be a disaster.

Republicans would rather cut taxes for billionaire donors than fund research for children with cancer. That is why our country is on the brink of a government shutdown that will crash the economy, hurt working class Americans and likely be the longest in history. Welcome back to the MAGA swamp.

Another provision not getting much attention that Republicans cut from the funding bill at the direction of the wealthiest man in the world — the SUPPORT Act, bipartisan legislation key to fighting the opioid epidemic. thehill.com/policy/healt...
House GOP drops PBM reforms in scaled-down spending bill
House Republicans have abandoned language to rein in the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) industry from a new government funding bill released late Thursday.  Leaders earlier this week agreed to…

At Elon Musk's demand, Republicans changed the funding bill. Who wins in the new bill? Drug middle men, China, and cancer. And especially Elon Musk's business:

RE: the GOP bill- setting aside the debt limit, looking at what came out I doubt overall cost changed much. One big change: they removed rules to limit American investments in China- which would benefit Tesla and Elon. His endorsing suggests the true priority was not the former, but the latter.

For years I have urged my colleagues for years to permanently eliminate the debt ceiling, which has never reduced our national debt. I am a cosponsor of @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social’s bill to do it. Let’s abolish the debt limit for good.

The richest man in the world says he wants to shut down the government, forcing millions of American workers - including our troops - to go without pay through the holidays. Republicans are following his orders. This is insane.
Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govDec 18(source)
The Constitution empowers Congress, not the president, to determine trade policy. Misusing tariffs can wreak havoc on our economy and raise costs for Americans. My opening remarks in today’s @jecdems.bsky.social hearing on president-elect Trump’s vow to implement massive tariff increases:

My office is aware of reports of a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. We are in touch with local law enforcement, and will continue to monitor the situation and offer any assistance we can provide to our first responders.

This morning I hosted a discussion with local leaders from Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, and Falls Church to coordinate efforts to help our communities and strategize about solving problems ahead.

CFPB has helped put billions of dollars back in the pockets of Americans harmed by predatory corporate practices. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies want to get rid of it so they can keep cheating working Americans. www.cbsnews.com/news/cfpb-cr...
More than 4 million people to share $1.8 billion in refunds, the CFPB says. Here's what to know.
Payments to victims of Lexington Law and CreditRepair.com are the largest yet by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
