Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) boasted that House Republicans defied Donald Trump on Friday night after the GOP conference did not accede to the president-elect’s demand. The House overwhelmingly passed a three-month resolution to fund the government into March just hours ahead of a potential government shutdown. On Wednesday, Trump demanded the legislation raise or eliminate the debt ceiling, which limits the amount of amount the federal government may incur. In response, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) withdrew a pending bill and introduced a new one with a debt ceiling raise the next day. “Anybody that supports a bill that doesn’t take care of the Democrat quicksand known as the debt ceiling should be primaried and disposed of as quickly as possible,” Trump told Fox News Digital on Thursday. However, the bill the House passed on Friday did not include a debt ceiling provision, which reportedly displeased… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - Republican Governor Commutes Sentence of Ex-Cop Imprisoned for Killing Black Man
Jacob Moscovitch/Getty Images Republican Missouri Governor Mike Parson granted clemency to a White former Kansas City detective who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after he shot and killed a Black man at his home in 2019. Eric DeValkenaere arrived at the home of Cameron Lamb with his partner Troy Schwalm. While Lamb was backing into his Kansas City garage, DeValkenaere fatally shot him. He argued his partner was in danger, that Lamb’s truck had sped from a pursuit with another car, and that Lamb was armed. The officers were at Lamb’s home for only nine seconds before he was killed, according to The Kansas City Star. The incident sparked outrage and generated national headlines. Judge J. Dale Youngs ruled that DeValkenaere entered Lamb’s property with no probable cause. DeValkenaere was convicted in November 2021 and given a six-year prison sentence. On Friday, Parson commuted the sentence as one of his… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - Chris Hayes Mocks Fox Host Who Melted Down Interviewing Republican Senators: ‘No, No, No, No, We N...
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes had a grand time at the expense of Larry Kudlow on Friday night after the Fox Business host turned in a memorable interview the day before. Kudlow, a former economic adviser in the first Trump administration, spoke with Sens. Kevin Cramer and Cynthia Lummis on Thursday’s Kudlow, where the host asked about Republicans’ plan for the Senate, which Republicans will control come early January. “Put the tax cuts first, put together a real reconciliation bill that includes border security and tax cuts,” Kudlow said. That’s what I want.” Lummis responded that “the plan is to put the border security and some defense components of reconciliation out first, and then follow it up with the tax component–” Kudlow interrupted to say, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!” He went on to explain that those provisions should be in the same bill. On Friday’s All… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - Steve Bannon Says U.S. Has to ‘Increase Taxes on the Wealthy’ Even if They ‘Start Squealing’
AP Photo/Curtis Means/DailyMail via AP, Pool Steve Bannon, President-elect Donald Trump’s one-time chief strategist, said in a Friday interview he is in favor of taxing corporations and the wealthy. Bannon told Semafor’s David Weigel that breaking away from some of the GOP’s long-held economic positions could help cement Trump’s legacy and that he views the soon-to-be president as a historic figure. “This is a 1932-type realignment, if we do this right,” Bannon explained. “Look at the demographics that got us here – black, Hispanic, white, working class, all of it. If we deliver for these people, and I mean deliver in a big way economically, then this is a coalition that could last for 50 years.” He added that loyalty to “crony capitalism” and “tax breaks for the corporations” could “squander” a unique moment in history. Bannon was asked about Trump’s wealthiest supporters and how he should square away an… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - ‘Trump Is NOT Happy’ After House Passes Bill Without ‘His Main Ask’: Report
AP Photo/Evan Vucci President-elect Donald Trump is displeased that the House of Representatives passed a spending bill on Friday night that did not include an extension or elimination of the debt ceiling. Passage came just hours ahead of a potential government shutdown. The Senate is currently considering the measure. The legislation, which funds the government for three months, easily cleared the two-thirds threshold to suspend the rules and pass the lower chamber. Lawmakers green-lit the bill 366-34 thanks to 196 Democratic and 170 Republican votes in favor. All 34 votes against were cast by Republicans. On Wednesday, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) scrapped an earlier funding bill after Elon Musk and Trump came out against it. Seemingly of nowhere, Trump demanded the House raise or abolish the debt ceiling, which sets a limit on how much money the federal government may borrow. The debt ceiling has occasionally been used as a cudgel… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago
