SENILE JOE BIDEN STILL CALLING HIMSELF PRESIDENT - CAN YOU BE ARRESTED FOR THAT??? - Biden puts an LGBTQ+ activist, gender fluid drag queen ‘pup’ fetishist in charge of the nuclear waste that could be used for terror bombs

 The new version is much shorter:

USCIS upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.

Suddenly, USCIS is unconcerned with the rule of law and unconcerned with protecting Americans. It is, instead, an organization that exists to make life easier for the millions of illegal aliens the Biden administration is encouraging to enter America and then, once they are in America, funding and resettling in districts that willfully refuse to vote for Democrats.


Republican Senators Move To Bar Federal Spending for Crack Paraphernalia

Follows Free Beacon report on Biden admin plan to fund crack 'smoking kits'

More than a dozen Republican senators introduced a measure Thursday that would ban a pandemic relief program from funding the distribution of crack pipes and other drug paraphernalia.

The Cutting off Rampant Access to Crack Kits (CRACK) Act, introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), would amend the Democrats' American Rescue Plan, which allocates $30 million for a program that funds the distribution of crack "smoking kits." The amendment comes in response to a Washington Free Beacon report Monday that detailed how the Biden administration will fund smoking kits intended to limit the spread of disease among users of drugs such as crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine. The money would fund local government programs such as ones already established in cities across the country. Programs in Annapolis, Md.New Haven, Conn.San Francisco, and Seattle, all included smoking pipes in kits.

"It is pure insanity to think the federal government would fund crack pipe distribution," Rubio said. "This legislation will make certain the program can never pay for crack pipes."

The Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the "harm reduction" grant program, defended funding smoking kits, saying "unsafe smoking practices can lead to open sores, burns and cuts on the lips, and can increase the risk of infection among people who smoke drugs."

HHS secretary Xavier Becerra announced Wednesday, however, that "no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits." Aside from pipes, smoking kits often include mouthpieces, rubber bands, and alcohol wipes.

Supporters of harm reduction programs were blindsided by the administration's reversal. The Drug Policy Alliance, a nonprofit that supports harm reduction programs, criticized the Biden administration for "backtracking" on its plan to fund crack pipes.

"Backtracking on providing critical evidence-based resources that could greatly improve the health of people who consume drugs through smoking is a huge missed opportunity," the group said in a statement Wednesday.

The legislation is cosponsored by Sens. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), John Boozman (R., Ark.), Joni Ernst (R., Iowa), Tim Scott (R., S.C.), Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa.), Bill Cassidy (R., La.), Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.), Shelley Moore Capito (R., W.Va.), Mike Braun (R., Ind.), Rick Scott (R., Fla.), Steve Daines (R., Mont.), Thom Tillis (R., N.C.), John Kennedy (R., La.), John Thune (R., S.D.), and John Barrasso (R, Wyo.).

"The Biden administration is in cleanup mode because they got caught funding crack pipe distribution," said Cotton. "There’s never anything safe about giving drug paraphernalia to addicts."

Relax: Biden puts an LGBTQ+ activist, gender fluid drag queen ‘pup’ fetishist in charge of the nuclear waste that could be used for terror bombs

One of the most critical national security issues facing the United States is nuclear waste:

…thousands of metric tons of used solid fuel from nuclear power plants worldwide and the millions of liters of radioactive liquid waste from weapons production that sit in temporary storage containers in the US. While these waste materials, which can be harmful to human health and the environment, wait for a more permanent home, their containers age. In some cases, the aging containers have already begun leaking their toxic contents.

Terrorists wishing to construct “dirty bombs” that could contaminate entire cities, rendering them uninhabitable, would love to get their hands on some of this stockpile. So the handling and ultimate disposition of this lethal accumulation, the responsibility of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy for the Department of Energy, requires a person of scientific/technical erudition, good judgment, and responsible character.

Meet Sam Brinton, hired by the Biden Administration for that role.

 

 

 

 

If you don’t recognize Sam’s name, perhaps you know them (NOT him – show some respect!) by their drag queen alter ego name, “Sister Ray Dee O’Active”

You can take comfort in Sister Ray Dee O’Active’s technical credential. They has a master’s degree! From MIT. A “dual master's degree in engineering systems and nuclear science and engineering.”

I gather that they is part of the + in “LGBTQ+” as what is a called a “pup handler,” which seems to involve people dressing up as puppies and them having sex, but which may also involve sex with animals, previously known by judgmental people as bestiality. I admit that I can’t tell. See what you make of the interview quoted below

(source)

Via The National Pulse:

In a separate interview, Brinton explains how he roleplays as a “pup” handler.

“I actually have trouble when we transition from pup play to having sex,” Brinton explained.

“Like, ‘No, I can’t have you whimper like that when we’re having sex,’ because I don’t want to mix that world. It’s interesting, because he doesn’t have to come out of pup mode to have me fuck him. I personally have to bring him out of pup perception for me. But then I’m still treating him as a submissive to me.”

In the interview, Brinton also appears to be annoyed with criticism of “lik[ing] to have sex with animals”:

“One of the hardest things about being a handler is that I’ve honestly had people ask, ‘Wait, you have sex with animals?’” Sam says. “They believe it’s abusive, that it’s taking advantage of someone who may not be acting up to a level of human responsibility… The other misperception is that I have some really messed up background, like, did I have some horrible childhood trauma that made me like to have sex with animals.”

In addition to his “public service” taking care of our nuclear waste stockpile, Sister Ray reaches out to the younger generation:

Brinton has also lectured on kink at college campuses, including a class for the University of Wisconsin-Stout Gender and Sexuality Alliance on the “Physics of Kink” on March 7th, 2018. A description on Instagram said the session was to include “live demos on the tension forces of bondage, thermodynamics of wax play, physics of impact, and circuits of electro play!”

Deb Heine of American Greatness reports:

This top official at Biden’s Department of Energy is reportedly an active member of an obscene, and sacrilegious drag queen society called the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” Brinton is listed as the principal contact on the Washington, D.C. chapter’s 2016 and 2018 tax forms, the Pulse reported.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a 501(c)3 tax-deductible non-profit charity recognized by the IRS, has mocked the Catholic Church for decades with members adopting names such as: “Sister Porn Again; Sister Chastity Boner; Sister Sister Edith Myflesh; Sister Roz Erection; Sister Constance Craving of the Holey Desire; and Sister Risqué of the Sissytine Chapel.”

“Sister Ray Dee O’Active” can be seen in a video of a “Lavender Mass” referring to scandal-plagued NIAID Director Anthony Fauci as a “saint,” and as “Daddy Fauci.”

Chalk up another glass ceiling broken by the Biden administration and sleep easy.

 

Time to worry: the Biden government is redefining core principles

Two odd little reports appeared in the past couple of days, both of which involve the federal government redefining things that, before the Biden administration, had mostly agreed-upon definitions that were not hostile to ordinary Americans and that recognized American sovereignty. One report concerns a changed terrorism definition from the Department of Homeland Security, while the other redefines the mission of the Department of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The Department of Homeland Security promulgated a new National Terrorism Advisory Systems (“NTAS”) Bulletin. The terrorists are no longer radical student groups seeking to blow up the government (groups such as the Weathermen, which Obama’s mentor, Bill Ayers, founded) or Islamic fundamentalist groups seeking a new caliphate bathed in American blood.

The new terrorist threat is...you. It’s now official government policy that “misinformation”—which means disagreeing with the Biden administration, the media, and tech tyrants—is proto-terrorism. That’s how we end up with this February 7, 2022, NTAS Bulletin (emphasis mine):

The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence. Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation. While the conditions underlying the heightened threat landscape have not significantly changed over the last year, the convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the threat environment: (1) the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions....

[snip]

The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions:

  • For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.

As Thomas Lifson wrote yesterday, this "sounds precisely like a prelude to a totalitarian crackdown on political dissent...."

Regarding COVID, as Democrats are finally turning on masks (except for masking students, who are least at risk), we can confidently say that every single bit of “information” that the Biden administration pushed out was, in fact, misinformation: The administration (and its holdovers from the Trump presidency) were wrong about the virus’s origins (or lied about them), about therapeutics, about masks, about lockdowns, and about the vaccines’ efficacy. Everything they said was wrong. But if you doubted or still doubt them, you are a terror threat.

Thomas Lifson adds. As a friend emailed me:

The Administration claims that its withdrawal from Afghanistan was a “great success“. That would make those who criticize the Presidents withdrawal as an inept disaster the promoters of misleading information who are undermining the government and its institutions and thus terrorist threats.  And the President himself regularly criticizes our government institutions including most recently the United States Senate and its  filibuster rule going so far as to call it a relic of the Jim Crow era. And he has likened members of the Senate to the infamous Bull Connor and other Jim Crow officials. Biden has proclaimed  that the federal elections to be conducted in 2022 will be unreliable and unfair if his proposed election reform act is not enacted. But apparently he believes that when such criticisms are made by private citizens they are terrorist threats.

Likewise, in the year since January 6, we’ve learned that it was anything but an insurrection, and certainly nothing near as bad as the BLM and Antifa riots in 2020. I won’t beat that dead horse, but I urge you to check out this Revolver article.

Do you feel intimated knowing that the government has effectively announced that, if you point out everything as to which it’s been wrong and is continuing to be wrong, you will be viewed as a potential domestic terrorist? You’re certainly meant to feel that way.

And just yesterday, Townhall’s Spencer Brown caught a significant change to the mission statement for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services:

The old version:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.

That’s straightforward enough: America is a nation of laws, some of which govern immigration, and the USCIS is responsible for enforcing those laws fairly and in a way that protects Americans and America.

The new version is much shorter:

USCIS upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.

Suddenly, USCIS is unconcerned with the rule of law and unconcerned with protecting Americans. It is, instead, an organization that exists to make life easier for the millions of illegal aliens the Biden administration is encouraging to enter America and then, once they are in America, funding and resettling in districts that willfully refuse to vote for Democrats.

In other words, the Biden administration has stood America on its head: Those who dare to disagree with the administration are potential terrorists—and please, ignore the whole First Amendment “shtick” about the federal government being barred from “abridging the freedom of speech...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” In Biden’s America, the Constitution has grown beyond such petty things as individual liberty.

Meanwhile, even as the government is intimidating ordinary Americans into abandoning their right to protest their government, it’s making it patently clear that its immigration agency exists for the benefit of illegal aliens, not American citizens.

Never before in American history have we had an American government that is a mob-style enforcement agency against citizens and one, moreover, that happily fulfills that role because it so patently hates the citizens over whom it has this power.


What do you have to do to get fired from Joe Biden's Cabinet?

Outside Cirque de Soleil, there's no bigger collection of clowns than the members of Joe Biden's Cabinet.  It's one thing to have a mental defective for president, quite another to have a bunch of left-wing ideologues with little real-world experience as Sleepy Joe's support group.

Be that as it may, when the Schiff hits the White House fan — as it does for all presidents at some point — one or more Cabinet members are typically let go to soothe the herd.  Some pretense of caring about the little people is necessary, even for Big Government Democrats.

Considering the absolute Schiff-storm our country has endured since Clueless Joe first wandered into the Oval Office, I wondered which of his Cabinet clowns would be the first to get canned.

Would it be Lloyd Austin, the secretary of Defense, who oversaw America's disastrous and humiliating retreat from Afghanistan?

Maybe Miguel Cardona, secretary of Education, who helped concoct the plan to label concerned parents as domestic terrorists?

Or perhaps the attorney general, Merrick Garland, who planned to sic the FBI on those terroristic moms and dads until he was found out?

Might the first one fired be Pete Buttigieg, secretary of Transportation, who was home playing daddy for a couple of months while ships queued up off the coast of California and empty store shelves became a common sight?

How about the honcho of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, who assured Americans that their southern border was secure, even as record numbers of illegal aliens, drugs, guns, terrorists, and human-traffickers all poured across our purposely unenforced border?

Could the first head to roll belong to Tony Blinken, our secretary of State, who managed to seriously tick off our NATO ally France by secretly undercutting its multi-billion-dollar deal to sell submarines to Australia?

Jennifer Granholm, secretary of Energy, certainly qualifies.  During a televised interview, Granholm broke out in laughter when asked her plan for boosting U.S. oil production, calling the question "hilarious."

Might the first Cabinet casualty be Health and Human Services secretary Xavier Becerra, whom even Democrats accuse of being totally out to lunch during the abysmal government handling of COVID-19?

So many worthy candidates for pink slips.  Yet the first clown to get unceremoniously dumped from the Brandon Cabinet turned out to be Eric Lander, secretary of Science and Technology.  His unforgivable sin?

He said things that were mean and disrespectful to his staff.

That's it.

Secretary Lander went bye-bye for being mean.

Does anything illustrate the immoral, illogical, and pathological nature of liberalism better than this?

You can leave billions of dollars of weaponry in enemy hands, cause millions of Americans to be devastated by arbitrary and useless COVID-19 policy, lose a historic ally, laugh at the high price of gasoline, sic the FBI on parents of schoolkids, play with a baby while the supply chain gets tangled up in knots — this you can do and still have a job in the Brandon Cabinet.

But speak to your employees the wrong way, and you get the axe.

Thank God the world was still sane when I was a boss!

CNN Poll: Majority Disapprove of Joe Biden, Deem His Presidency a ‘Failure’

A majority of Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job performance, as most also deem his first year a “failure,” a CNN poll released Thursday revealed.

“Nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of how Joe Biden is handling his presidency, with most of that group saying there’s literally nothing Biden has done since taking office that they approve of,” CNN detailed.

The latest survey, taken January 10-February 6, 2022, shows 58 percent disapproving of Biden’s job performance, compared to 41 percent who approve. That reflects a seven-point increase in the number who disapproved from the last survey, taken in December 2021. 

The past surveys, fielded in March, April, August, September, October, November, and December, show Biden’s approval sinking and his disapproval continually rising. 

From March 2021 to February 2022, Biden’s approval has tanked ten percentage points. In that same time frame, Biden’s disapproval rose 17 percentage points, as his disapproval stood at 41 percent in March 2021.

Currently, 41 percent of Americans “strongly” disapprove of Biden, compared to 15 percent who “strongly” approve.

Further, Biden’s approval among independents is underwater, as 64 percent disapprove, compared to 36 percent who approve. As likely predicted, Biden’s disapproval is staggeringly high among Republicans: 91 percent disapprove. While Biden enjoys an 83 percent approval from Democrats, that still represents an 11-point drop from the 94 percent of Democrats who approved last summer.

According to CNN, “Some of the shift in Biden’s numbers comes from a change in Americans’ partisan tilt: Republicans and Democrats were about at parity in the new poll, with fewer identifying as Democrats than in other recent CNN polling.”
According to the outlet:
When those who disapproved of Biden’s overall performance were asked to name a single thing he’d done that they did approved of, 56% had nothing positive to say. “I’m hard pressed to think of a single thing he has done that benefits the country,” wrote one survey respondent.
Of those who generally approved of Biden, a smaller 26% couldn’t find anything negative to say. “I totally believe that he has the best interests of the American [p]eople in mind,” wrote another respondent. “I think he understands the severity and importance of his job and is doing the best he can.”

The survey also asked respondents to rate Biden’s first year in office as a success or failure. A majority, 57 percent, said it has been a “failure,” compared to 41 percent who deem it a “success.”

The public’s disapproval of Biden’s handling of the economy is contributing to these souring figures, as 62 percent disapprove, compared to 37 percent who approve. That reflects a drastic change, as a majority approved of his handling of the economy in September. 

The survey coincides with devastating news for Biden from the Department of Labor, which found that consumer prices have “jumped by the most” in nearly 40 years, up 7.5 percent. 

The poll, with 1,527 respondents, has a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percent.


CNN Poll: Americans Rank Biden’s Open Border Among Top Problems this Year

American adults say illegal immigration at the United States border under President Joe Biden is among the top problems facing the nation this year, a CNN poll reveals.

The poll, released on Thursday, reveals that Americans — including swing voters — consider securing the U.S. border the third most important problem that Congress and Biden should address this year.

The issue of illegal immigration at the border ranks behind reducing inflation and protecting voting rights for American citizens.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas agreed, in a closed-door meeting last month, that illegal immigration is “worse now than … ever.”

Among registered Republicans and self-described conservatives, illegal immigration at the border is the top priority that Congress and Biden must address. Democrats and those who “lean Democrat,” in contrast, consider illegal immigration their last concern.

White working class Americans, those without a college degree, consider illegal immigration at the border and reducing inflation the two biggest problems facing the nation at the moment.

Non-college-educated Americans, of all races, see illegal immigration as the second highest priority just behind reducing inflation.

The poll is only the latest that suggests Americans, by and large, take issue with Biden’s massive expansion of Catch and Release at the border, a policy that has released hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into the U.S. interior and incentivized nearly two million border crossers last year alone.

Most of those released into the U.S. interior can apply for work permits.

Biden’s operation includes using American taxpayer money to bus and fly border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities — with destinations including Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina, and other states.

The Catch and Release initiative has been paired with Biden’s gutting of interior immigration enforcement via so-called “sanctuary country” orders that ban federal immigration agents from arresting and deporting most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens.

Most recent data published by Breitbart News shows that Biden cut deportations of illegal aliens by more than 85 percent in his first eight months as president. Compared to 2019, Biden has cut deportations by nearly 90 percent.

The CNN poll was conducted from January 10 to Feburary 8, 2022, and surveyed more than 1,500 American adults. The margin of error is +/- 3.3 percentage points.

Biden Eyes Plan to More Easily Free Young Adult Illegal Aliens into U.S.

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) top officials are shaping up a program that would more easily allow young adult border crossers and illegal aliens to live freely in the United States, Breitbart News has learned.

The Biden administration is currently seeking bids for a DHS contract that will ensure border crossers and illegal aliens ages 18 to 19 years old — who officials say “pose a low flight risk” — are hardly monitored by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency after their release into the U.S. interior.

Whereas existing DHS programs have stricter compliance guidelines, the new program would allow border crossers and illegal aliens to be monitored by “community-based services” and would not require participants to be monitored by GPS tracking.

“This program will not include GPS or other monitoring technology,” an ICE release on the program states.

Instead, the program will only require that most border crossers and illegal aliens check in monthly with ICE agents via telephone. The program would also “develop and maintain a network of age-appropriate and culturally sensitive community resources” for border crossers and illegal aliens.

Sources close to Breitbart News said the Biden-linked federal contractor Endeavors is almost certain to score the contract to carry out key provisions of the program. Endeavors won a $530 million contract with DHS last year after hiring a former Biden administration official.

Endeavors is funded by a number of corporate-backed organizations like the Bob Woodruff Foundation, United Way, and the Hispanic Federation — all of which have ties to multinational corporations and the nation’s biggest banks.

The federal contractor also takes taxpayer money through a variety of contracts with the federal government, the state of Texas, and local governments in North Carolina.

The program would be the latest measure initiated by the Biden administration to briefly detain border crossers and illegal aliens before quickly releasing them into the U.S. interior — often by buses or commercial domestic flights.

Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman

 Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California

 with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for

 Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are

 poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of

 illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare

 programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were

 contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its

 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.


The green card language was touted by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), whose district includes part of Silicon Valley. Investors in her region use many imported visa workers to minimize geographically-inconvenient investments in other states, such as Indiana.

Advocates, including Lofgren, say the House bill allows the “best and brightest” foreign graduates to get green cards, jobs, and then citizenship if they work to get science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) doctorates in American or foreign universities.

But the fine print of the bill shows it would give green cards to a wide variety of ordinary foreign graduates, including chemists, doctors, engineers, statisticians, accountants, tax experts, software developers, and computer security experts.

The bill’s language sets no limits on the number of foreign migrants who can get green cards and then U.S. jobs and careers, nor does it set any minimum standards for the skills of those migrants.

Roughly 1.5 million non-immigrant, mid-skill, foreign contract workers — such as H-1B workers — have been imported and hired by CEOs to fill white-collar careers that would otherwise be held by U.S. graduates. The mass inflow of cheap and compliant foreign workers distorts the nation’s professional sector by empowering CEOs, suppressing U.S. salaries, undermining professionalism, slowing innovation, and diverting job-creating investment towards the coasts, such as Silicon Valley and New York.

The China bill is strongly backed by business groups, such as Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us advocacy group for West Coast investors. “According to FWD.us estimates, 100,000 international student graduates of U.S. colleges and universities each year would like to stay and work permanently in the U.S.,” the group said in a new report.

That 100,000 number is roughly one-eighth of all Americans who graduate each year from four-year colleges with degrees in healthcare, business, science, biology, software, math, or engineering.

Zuckerberg’s investor allies at FWD.us are not just looking for extra workers — they want more migrants because they also serve as consumers and renters. The breadth of investors who founded and funded FWD.us was hidden from casual visitors to the group’s website sometime in the last few months. But copies exist at the other sites. The 2013 founders included Zuckerberg, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, John Doerr at Kleiner Perkins, Matt Cohler at Benchmark, and Breyer Capital CEO Jim Breyer.


Biden, for instance, had sought to include tax cuts for his billionaire donors in a Chinese coronavirus relief package earlier this year. The plan was ultimately cut from the package. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), in May 2020, also tried to include the plan in a coronavirus relief package.

Democrats: $625B Tax Cut for Wealthy Elite ‘Essential’ Ahead of Midterms


JOHN BINDER


Democrats say cutting hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes for mostly wealthy income-earners in coastal states is “essential” to getting reelected in this year’s midterm elections.

In November, House Democrats passed President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better Act” which includes billions in tax breaks to the wealthiest residents of blue states. Specifically, the plan would give a tax cut to about 67 percent of the nation’s richest Americans — those earning more than $885,000 every year — costing taxpayers about $625 billion.

Under Biden’s plan, those in the top one percent would receive an average tax cut of more than $16,000 this year. The tax cuts for the wealthy would be a result of the plan’s increasing the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap.

Ahead of the midterm elections in November, House Democrats are warning their rich donors that they must get out and vote for them to secure the massive tax cut. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) called the tax cuts for the rich “essential” in an interview with Bloomberg News.

 

Chart via Bloomberg News

“We need to get that done. It’s not the only thing, but it’s a big thing,” Maloney said, who represents one of New York’s wealthiest areas — Westchester County. Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) called the tax cut “really important” for her constituency.

“If you want your state and local deductions back, you have to vote for Democrats. Republicans screwed you last time, and they’ll do it again,” Maloney said.

At the same time, a number of Democrats are blasting the effort, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME).

 

Sanders has said:

At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the last thing we should be doing is giving more tax breaks to the very rich. Democrats campaigned and won on an agenda that demands that the very wealthy finally pay their fair share, not one that gives them more tax breaks.

Meanwhile, Democrats want to squeeze an extra $200 billion out of American taxpayers by mostly targeting working and middle class earners with more Internal Revenue Services (IRS) audits.

The plan ensures nearly 600,000 more working and middle class Americans earning $75,000 or less a year would be audited by the IRS. Of those new IRS audits, more than 313,000 would target the poorest of Americans who earn $25,000 or less a year.

In 2017, former President Trump had the SALT deduction capped at $10,000. Since then, Democrats have sought to deliver their wealthy, blue state donors with a massive tax cut by eliminating the cap altogether or greatly increasing it.

Biden, for instance, had sought to include tax cuts for his billionaire donors in a Chinese coronavirus relief package earlier this year. The plan was ultimately cut from the package. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), in May 2020, also tried to include the plan in a coronavirus relief package.
