President Biden has called for an end to the Big Oil Bailout – tax breaks and loopholes that benefit the fossil fuel industry – in his American Jobs Plan. But getting it done will require an act of Congress, and that means it’s time to dust off your lobbying shoes and demand Congress take action. …
Trump’s second impeachment trial in the Senate continues today, with House Impeachment managers expected to wrap up their presentation. In a crucial, early, vote six Republicans joined all 50 Democrats in voting that the trial is constitutional and should proceed.
