New: ⁦⁦@rosadelauro⁩ sends a letter to House leaders questioning whether Elon Musk helped kill the first bipartisan CR package because it included language restricting U.S. investments in China. This is part of an apparent DeLauro vs. Musk feud punchbowl.news/2024-12-20_let…
2/ “It is particularly disturbing that Musk may have sought to upend
this critical negotiated agreement to remove a bipartisan provision regulating U.S. investments in
China in order to protect his wallet and the Chinese Communist Party at the expense of American
workers, innovators, and businesses.”
3/ This “outbound” investment provision was part of original CR package that Musk helped kill. DeLauro is suggesting that Musk may have had other reasons for doing so

I searched the Congressional Record on tax or IRS related legislation & floor speeches by former Rep. Billy Long, who Trump has said he wants to be IRS director.

Long repeatedly cosponsored legislation to abolish the IRS & replace the income tax with a national sales tax.
2/ Long also backed legislation that would bar IRS employees from being part of labor unions or participating in collective bargaining, which the NTEU will be interested in.
3/ Long cosponsored bills to repeal all estate taxes. And he was big on reform beer & alcohol taxes

Speaker Mike Johnson says he has “no problems with President Biden personally” but can’t think of any policy they agree on.

Johnson agrees with Hannity that Biden has suffered “cognitive decline”
2/ Johnson says he wants to split Ukraine aid from Israel aid in supplemental package.

“What is the end in Ukraine? The White House has not provided that?” Johnson said.

“We’re going to bring forward a standalone Israel funding measure” worth $14B. Johnson wants to offset
3/ This is different from what @LeaderMcConnell & Biden want. No guarantee that Ukraine aid passes
