Keep up the fight.

Attempts by the GOP to include the extension of three Trump-era tax cuts for corporations and private equity companies were also defeated.

A low bar to clear, yes, but important nonetheless.

Now for the bad news:

As the military industrial complex continues to feast, the expansion of the Child Tax Credit that went into effect for 2021 was not included in the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill.

Endless money for war. No money for hungry kids or working families.

@rbreich Republicans do not care if people go hungry as long as they get their feast. The $1,000 dollar bottle of champagne, their maids, butlers, any type of food they wish to eat and the lavish lifestyles. These people are selfish human beings. To use Charles Dickens words, Scrooge said, if they have better die, then let them do it and decrease the surplus population. That’s the GOP.
