NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
Powell probe was a textbook example of everything wrong & self-defeating in the 2d-term Trump approach. Abuse of law, needless conflict w/Fed, Senate, & SCOTUS, no popular constituency, no coherent message, no strategy for how to handle pushback, ends by accomplishing nothing.
@Zuk_DC@JHWeissmann The same bill also blocks funding for a local child tax credit and expanded earned-income tax credit, which researchers expected to benefit about 78,000 children in the city.
Which do you think impacts more “DC working families”?
@jamiedupree Are you sure? The Constitution’s origination clause says “All Bills for raising Revenue…”, which is about taxes, not spending. The House may blue slip approps bills but the Senate has no such rule or obligation.
