Episode Synopsis
This week in Washington, Congress faced deep divisions over expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, with Democrats urging a clean extension to prevent premium spikes for millions. Lawmakers debated key small business legislation, including the Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act and the DUMP Red Tape Act. Oversight concerns peaked following the tragic shooting of National Guard member SPC Sarah Beckstrom by an Afghan national admitted via the Biden administration's parole program. Debates intensified over the legality of recent Caribbean boat strikes and the controversial pardon of convicted drug trafficker Juan Orlando Hernández. The House also passed legislation targeting foreign, particularly Chinese, influence in K–12 public schools. (Proceedings also included multiple votes confirming U.S. District Judges).https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/browse-by-date
