Democrat Ted Lieu Says Donald Trump Was Right About This

Tensions between Trump and Democrats have always been strained, with his policies and rhetoric surrounding the pandemic drawing condemnation from most of those on the left, who say he did not do enough to prevent the spread of the virus—including longer lockdowns or a rejection of anti-vaccine conspiracies. Lieu, who represents a Los Angeles-area congressional district, however, said Trump did one thing right with regards to the pandemic, and praised the Trump administration’s decision to invest in early funding for the COVID-19 vaccine as the correct course of action at the time....

Democratic Lawmakers Blast Federal Judge S Ruling That Says Daca Is Unlawful

U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen, who was appointed by former GOP President George W. Bush, released a 77-page ruling on Friday, arguing that the DACA program is unlawful—banning new applicants. Democrats and President Joe Biden quickly responded, criticizing the ruling and arguing that legislation was necessary to bring an end to the uncertainty enforced upon immigrants who have benefited from DACA. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said that the “fate of thousands” had now been “thrown into limbo” in a Friday tweet....

Democrats Chances Of Controlling Senate Increase To 75 Percent With Just Two Weeks Until Election Day Forecasts

Although the Democrats control the House of Representatives and are widely expected to maintain that control following the November 3 election, Republicans currently hold 53 seats out of the 100 in the Senate. Democrats hold 45 seats, along with two independents who caucus with their Democratic colleagues. To flip control of the upper chamber, the Democrats must gain at least four seats. The Cook Political Report rates two Republican seats as leaning Democrat, while seven others are considered “toss-up” races....

Democrats Revival Of Earmarks Makes It Official The Swamp Is Back Opinion

House Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and House Appropriations Committee chair Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) have indicated they will approve “member-directed funding for community projects.” Democratic leaders understand that the next two years provide them a finite window of opportunity to advance a liberal agenda. Earmarks can help them not only get their way on a host of controversial issues ranging from immigration to “Green New Deal” spending—but keep their majority in 2022 by giving pandemic-battered voters desperate for financial help a reason to support them in the midterms....

Democrats Accuse Mcconnell Of Sabotaging Stimulus Talks Reject Latest Gop Offer

“Leader McConnell has refused to be part of the bipartisan negotiations, and now he’s sabotaging good faith bipartisan negotiations because his partisan, ideological effort is not getting a good reception,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said. McConnell suggested that in order to reach a more immediate deal, the two major sticking points—liability protections and funding for state and local governments—that are responsible for the continued stalemate should be set aside until next year....

Democrats Are Making It Hard To Take This Sham Of An Impeachment Seriously Opinion

After weeks of closed-door hearings, allegations that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff coaches witnesses and multiple “key witnesses” trotted out before the cameras in the past few days, the best they seem to be able to come up with is “Heard it from a friend who… Heard it from a friend who… Heard it from another Trump’s been messin’ around.” They sound like a bad REO Speedwagon cover band, not serious attesters to presidential malfeasance....

Democrats Won T Rule Out Additional Impeachment Articles Against Trump Offering Fresh Ammo For Gop

The argument undercuts the sentiment of Democratic members, who indicate no desire to rehash a partisan battle in the middle of an election year and assert the party must shift its focus to legislative matters. The suggestion of more articles would likely bolster the accusations by Republicans that Democrats are fueled by a political vendetta to oust Trump and will never cease trying to uncover impeachable conduct, even amidst impeachment proceedings that will undoubtedly end with an acquittal by a GOP-controlled Senate....
