10 Minutes on Democracy with Jason Franklin

December 14: Mark Meadows, Climate and Social Spending Bill, End of Year Deadlines, and more!


Listen Later

This week was quieter than usual as we wait for decisions to come down before the year wraps up:

  1. The House Special Committee recommended charging Mark Meadows with contempt of congress after phone calls, text messages, and even Powerpoints revealed Meadow’s had plenty of information ahead of January 6.
  2. President Biden, Senator Schumer, and others have continued to lobby Senator Manchin to pass the climate and social spending bill before Christmas, but final, last-minute revisions are still coming in, making the process long and difficult. 
  3. If Democrats want to preserve the child tax credit, they need to meet the December 31st deadline, a hard date that could either work as a forcing mechanism, or end up blotting out one of Democrat's biggest political wins.
