We're about to vote on a rules package with a 3-page secret addendum detailing McCarthy's concessions to appease his 20 extremist holdouts.
Shady back room deals—not exactly a lesson in transparency and openness.

Jim McGovern on GOP bill denouncing socialism: "'We denounce Kim Jong Un.' Well, not all of us actually. Because in fact, if I remember correctly, it was the leader of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, who said he fell in love with him ... why is Putin left out?"

Republicans have mischaracterized the 72-hour rule as a new rule, but it's been in the rules under Democrats. Since it's not a change there is nothing in this rules package text about it. But they're keeping the 72 hours for reading bills with McCarthy committing not to waive it.
Quote Tweet
Republicans have said on the floor that this GOP rules package requires bills to be available for 72 hours before a vote. That's not true. The only 72 hour rule in the rules plan applies to bills brought up under Calendar Wednesday.

For the record: It was who created a real 72 hour rule so Members of Congress have time to read legislation.
But glad to see the taking credit for our important changes.

WATCH: I'm about to speak on the House Floor — when we conclude this rules debate, I will offer a motion to commit to add the expanded #ChildTaxCredit
It is the most effective tool we have in the fight against rising costs – an antidote to inflation.

Democrats are taking action to lower costs for families and invest in clean energy — and it's fully paid for by making the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
