McCarthy laid out an ambitious plan in addressing the 118th congressional session early Saturday morning, saying he wants to “be the check and provide some balance” to President Joe Biden’s policies. He said the first legislation he plans to tackle will repeal funding for more than 87,000 new IRS agents. He highlighted immigration reform as a top priority, saying the Republican-controlled House will hold some of its first hearings of the year at the Southern border.

“No more ignoring this crisis of safety and sovereignty,” he said. “We must secure our border.”

McCarthy claimed he will pass bills fixing “urgent” problems in the nation with an America-first approach. In addition to immigration, he said he wants to address “America-Last” energy policies and “woke indoctrination” in schools, noting that children come first and should be taught to “dream big.”

3. McCarthy

gave concessions to "terrorists". Sickening. .

Not "rebels" as the media is calling them, let's call them what they are "terrorists".

5. Proposing budget cut after budget cut is all Kevin can really do.

Expect the GOP House to refuse to lift the debt ceiling unless cuts are made to programs average Americans depend on and to the IRS so that complicatied audits of the wealthiest's tax returns continue to be rare. Gotta protect the GOP donor class.
