Currently going through the House Democrats' COVID relief bill. I will highlight some of the liberal wishlist items that I find.
First up: increasing the federal minimum wage to $15/hour. It would go up increasing over a five-year period.
Funding for "family planning" which they tie into the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300). When you pull up PHSA you will see abortion mentioned. But 300a-6 is Hyde. This could be an attempt to fund the entire "family planning section" and reverse Hyde later.
Interesting. Howard University (Harris' alma mater) is on the list to receive $35 million to recoup money lost because of COVID.
$135 million to the arts and humanities.
$10 million to preserve Native American languages.

This is literally like deja vu all over again, a complete repeat of what happened in 2014. breitbart.com/border/2021/02…
So many illegal aliens were coming across the border that ICE was running out of places to house them. That was when DHS flew hundreds of them to CA and bussed them to Murrieta. The small town stood up and turned the buses away.
When agents have to take these people to other facilities, especially those that are further north from the border, this isn't just terrible immigration policy, it's inhumane. Most of the more northern facilities are used for holding drug traffickers.
Driving through San Bernardino. There were riots here Monday night. Seeing quite a few boarded up buildings.
One business has a sign that says “small business supporting BLM” to discourage looters.
I just spoke to a black employee at the Burger King who was almost in tears. She said people rushed the lobby when the riots happened. Now people are scared to come in because they see it boarded up.
