    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announces opposition to bill that would create Jan. 6 commission.
    ABC News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 78% • 4 min read

    McConnell called the proposal for the commission, which gained some bipartisan support after negotiations from rank-and-file Republicans, "slanted and unbalanced" during his floor remarks. McConnell also said it's unclear whether a commission is needed with multiple Senate and police investigations already ongoing.
    ...
    It’s unclear where the votes now stand with Senate Republicans, many of whom have not been paying attention to the issue until Tuesday. There are a handful of Republicans who might vote to support a commission, including some of the seven who voted to convict Trump for "incitement of insurrection."
    ...
    McConnell's comments came after former President Donald Trump released a statement Tuesday night warning that "Republicans in the House and Senate should not approve the Democrat trap of the January 6 Commission." While the House passed the bill Wednesday evening, the Senate won't take up the legislation until after the Memorial Day recess.

275 votes, 78 comments

Context: Bipartisan bill to fund National Science Foundation to better compete against China.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - There are very few areas that I think more federal spending is valuable, but pure science research is one of them. This is an area that often is not viable to accomplish in the free market due to a lack of near term economic incentive, but has a huge positive impact on both advancing society and improving the economy.


No - The US has almost singlehandedly turned China into the powerhouse they are today by sending all of our manufactur...
