Biden administration may have already hit its peak of accomplishments Any legislative victories from here on out will be small and difficult Follow Us
Question of the Day
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Every administration has a moment of maximum accomplishment and a moment when it seems unstoppable. We may have already seen that moment with the Biden administration.
After the success of the coronavirus stimulus package, it is likely that the next legislative victories will be smaller and more difficult to achieve. Think about the infrastructure and tax package. Even if it winds up scoring at $3 trillion (which is the least likely outcome), that will be spread over eight years, resulting in spending of about $400 billion a year. That’s impressive but is much less than the almost $2 trillion spent essentially immediately (sort of) by the stimulus.
“Right now it’s hard to speculate on rumors, but if something really formal happened from Justice, we would of course react and take action,” Mr. Scalise said about Mr. Gaetz during a news conference.
Mr. Gaetz, 38, is under federal investigation for the alleged sex trafficking of a teenage girl, The New York Times reported last month. He has not been charged, and he has denied he broke any laws.
Specifically, investigators are said to be examining whether Mr. Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paid for her travel with him, The Times reported, citing unnamed sources.

The trip included nine other House members who were able to see firsthand the ongoing issues the nation is facing on its border. There were over 172,000 migrants apprehended at the US-Mexico border in March a 71% increase over a year ago.
“What I saw at the southern border was staggering,” said Latta. “What is happening is a humanitarian disaster. We visited the Donna, Texas Migrant Processing Facility, which was meant to hold 250 people; right now it’s holding 3,500. Fifty-one countries were represented at the facility. While the professionalism of the Custom and Border Patrol (CBP), Texas State Troopers, other federal and state law enforcement, and the Texas National Guard keep this from being even wor

This is the devastating result of their disastrous left-wing immigration agenda. RT so everyone can see what they’re trying to hide. This is child abuse. I visited the Donna processing facility yesterday.

The video appeared to show hundreds of children packed next to each other covered in aluminum-style blankets in transparent pens.
