Stuck in DC, Biden team pitches rest of US on big virus aid
Feb. 4 - Even as President Joe Biden gathers with senators and works the phones with Capitol Hill to push for a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, his team is increasingly focused on selling the plan directly to voters.
His administration has done 60-plus interviews with national TV and radio shows. There have been spots on local TV news and briefings last week with more than 50 groups that ranged from General Motors to Meals on Wheels America and Planned Parenthood. One of the main goals is to stop people from getting bogged down in the tangle of partisan deal-making and convince them that every penny of the “go big” package is needed.
“The public is not getting caught up in process — what they want is results,” said Cedric Richmond, the White House director of public engagement. “People these days are not worried about the inside-the-beltway terminology. They’re looking at who’s doing what to help.” continue to read

Rules Committee Debates Rule on Removing Representative Greene from House Committees
The House Rules Committee debated the rule to remove a member of Congress from House Committees. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) came under heavy criticism for her controversial statements, including suggesting violence against members of Congress and claims that school shootings are “false flag” operations. Committee chair Jim McGovern (D-MA) began his opening statement saying, “We have never had a hearing like one this before,” and accused Republican leadership of refusing to hold Rep. Greene accountable. He later added that the purpose of the hearing was not about canceling someone with different beliefs, but about accountability, and that “if this isn’t the bottom line, I don’t know what the hell the bottom line is.” The resolution passed along party lines and will be voted on by the full House of Representatives.
