Democrats did much for this country this week


?s=20&t=6r-CEiisEi76b2IjpYR_8g

A fruitful week for Congress

• $1.5 trillion omnibus government funding legislation passes

• $13.6 billion Ukraine aid approved

• Postal Service overhaul bill passes

• Violence Against Women Act renewed

• Emmet Till anti-lynching act passes after 200+ attempts


?s=20&t=6r-CEiisEi76b2IjpYR_8g

We just passed a budget bill with $730 billion in domestic spending this week.

The horseshoe (both from the left and right) has been on this "why don't you care about Americans" nationalism thing, but they're going to have to come up with something else as an excuse.

I see that The Squad voted against the budget bill, wonder why.

And thank for posting this mcar.

We need to do a daily applause forum just for the skilled & generous accomplishments of our President & Vice President, & our damn hard fighting Democratic Leaders.

The whiners can stop whining. 🙄

no they won't. They don't and never have had a problem with lying about things of this nature.

Democrats should be way out in front when it comes to the direction the country is headed. But we are not. Why not?

We have an election to win and this is the kind of news that contributes to it.

I know they're busy, but we out here really are clueless when it comes to an omnibus bill.
