"Never forget": Trump unloads on Republican "cowards and weaklings" in Easter Sunday meltdown – Salon
Posted: April 2, 2024 at 4:08 am
Donald Trump's Easter Sunday message to his followers on Truth Social was a simple command: "Never forget."
The former president fumed at retiring House Republicans, specifically sharing a report of Wisconsin Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher's recent decision to not seek another term despite pleas from GOP leadership in the House. Gallagher announced that he will instead step down on April 19, leaving the seat vacant until 2025. Republicans currently only have a four-seat majority in the House.
"Never forget our cowards and weaklings!" Trump wrote Sunday morning. "Such a disgrace."
While trapped in his office during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by Trump's MAGA followers, Gallagher made a direct appeal to Republican members of Congress who objected to certifying the 2020 presidential election.
The objectors, over the last two days, have told me there is no problem having a debate: We know were not going to succeed. So were just going to object. Were going to have a debate, Gallagher said in the video, adding that other Republicans claimed, There will be no cost to this effort.
He continued:This is the cost of countenancing an effort by Congress to overturn the election and telling thousands of people that there is a legitimate shot of overturning the election today, even though you know that is not true.
Gallagher begged his colleagues to call it off. Now the congressman, who was first elected in 2016, is calling it quits as Republicans prepare to nominate Donald Trump, who on Sunday seemingly compared himself to Jesus Christ, for president for a third time.

Senator Helming and Senate Republican Conference Unveil Legislative Package to Expand Availability and Access to … – The New York State Senate
Posted: at 4:08 am
Watch Senator Helming's remarks here.
Senator Pam Helming, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Housing, Construction and Community Development, with Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt and members of the Senate Republican Conference, today unveiled a comprehensive legislative package to increase homeownership opportunities and improve access to affordable housing options.
The package proposes tax credits and incentives, reduces regulatory burdens, and facilitates new construction as well as improvements to existing housing stock.
Housing affordability is one of the biggest issues facing our state. Our conference has a plan to revitalize our existing housing stock by removing blight from our communities and replacing it with good quality housing units, to work with local communities on what housing strategies are best for them, to expand and create incentives for development, and to establish means-testing for rent-regulated housing to ensure that affordable housing units are occupied by those who truly need them. The legislative package we are putting forward today under the leadership of our housing ranker Senator Pam Helming will deliver affordable homeownership for the state of New York, said Leader Rob Ortt.
From the Bronx to Buffalo, the American Dream is unattainable for a large portion of our population. The good news is, this is a problem we can solve. Our Senate Republican Conference is again putting solutions on the table to increase access to affordable housing options for every New Yorker, from renters to first-time homebuyers to our workforce and seniors. Importantly, our solutions preserve local control and prioritize collaboration with municipalities to facilitate new builds and improve existing housing stock, said Senator Pam Helming.
Proposals in the housing legislative package would:

States that lean Republican report more COVID vaccine-related adverse events, study finds – University of Minnesota Twin Cities
Posted: at 4:08 am
US states with a 10% increase in Republican voting reported a 5% increase in COVID-19 vaccinerelated adverse events (AEs), a 25% increase in severe AEs, and a 21% higher proportion of AEs characterized as severe, with more pronounced associations in older people, a study today in JAMA Network Open concludes.
A University of Pennsylvanialed research team analyzed 620,456 AE reports filed by adult vaccine recipients or their clinicians in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database from 2020 to 2022, and compared them with AEs after influenza vaccination from 2019 to 2022. They examined the AEs against state-level proportions of Republican votes in the 2020 US presidential election.
The average age of vaccine recipients was 52 years, and women made up 70.2% of AE reporters. Vaccinees were able to file more than one report.
VAERS reports have not been verified, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes. "Anyone, including healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public, can submit reports to the system," the CDC says. "While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness."
"Antivaccine sentiment is increasingly associated with conservative political positions," the study authors wrote. "COVID-19 mortality has been higher in US jurisdictions that are more conservative in their party registration,voting history,or representation.These differences are likely explained, in part, by differences in vaccination rates."
Significant links were seen between state political inclination and state AE reporting for all three outcomes: a 10% increase in Republican voting was tied to greater chances of AE reports (odds ratio [OR], 1.05), severe AE reports (OR, 1.25), and the percentage of AEs characterized as severe (OR, 1.21).
These results suggest that either the perception of vaccine AEs or the motivation to report them was associated with political inclination.
While these associations were seen across all age-groups, they were more pronounced among older people. There was no such association for the flu vaccine.
"These results suggest that either the perception of vaccine AEs or the motivation to report them was associated with political inclination," the researchers wrote.
They added that the link between observation and belief is bidirectional. "The adage 'seeing is believing' recognizes that our individual experiences inform our sense of truth, and 'believing is seeing' recognizes that our preconceptions modulate what we experience in the first place," they wrote.
"In finding that Republican-inclined states show higher COVID-19 AE reporting than Democrat-inclined states, this study suggests that Republicans are more likely to perceive or report those AEs and that Democrats are less likely to," they concluded.

McConnell casts doubt on border and Ukraine aid deal as GOP fury threatens both – NBC News
Posted: January 25, 2024 at 11:27 am
WASHINGTON Inside a special closed-door Republican meeting on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., cast doubt on an emerging deal to tighten immigration laws, citing GOP opposition to its provisions and telling senators that linking the two measures could also sink Ukraine aid.
It represents a marked shift for the top Senate Republican, who has been pushing hard for a bipartisan deal to pass the border legislation and foreign aid bill together through the Democratic-led Senate and the Republican-led House.
When we started this, the border united us and Ukraine divided us, McConnell told his fellow Republicans, according to a source familiar with his remarks. The politics on this have changed.
The shift comes as Donald Trump, who has pushed congressional GOP members to kill the deal, marches to the Republican presidential nomination and as hard-right Senate Republicans have grown increasingly pointed in their criticism of McConnell.
Trumps desire to wield chaos at the border as a political weapon against President Joe Biden in a general election campaign is a factor in the ongoing congressional negotiations, with McConnell telling Republicans: We dont want to do anything to undermine him.
Were in a quandary," McConnell said, according to the source. The remarks were first reported by Punchbowl.
A second source with knowledge of the meeting confirmed that McConnell told the senators that Trump's position could make it difficult for Republicans to support an immigration deal.
A person familiar with the Senate Republican deliberations says there is growing concern that a significant number of GOP members arent interested in striking a deal when it comes to immigration, leading to questions if it is worth it to continue to link any border deal to Ukraine funding. Senate leadership is looking for concrete evidence of interest in a border deal and considering whether to decouple the two issues and move forward, this person said.
But decoupling the measures could hasten the death of both. The demand to link Ukraine aid with immigration restrictions came from House Republican leaders, who have been wary of passing Ukraine aid for months with or without a border security package. While the Senate may find the votes to pass a Ukraine and Israel aid bill, it is unlikely to secure a path to passage in the GOP-led House.
Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said that McConnell even quoted Trump during his comments to Republicans.
He also laid out the quandary were in, Cramer said of McConnell. He never made a suggestion, actually, or picked a position I think we all know his position but rather just outlining the historical quandary. And he did a good job of quoting Donald Trump from 2018, you know, saying that well never get a Democrat to vote for this stuff.
The meeting came on the same day that a group of Senate conservatives held a news conference and torched the emerging bipartisan deal to impose tougher asylum and parole laws, complaining that it doesn't go far enough and taking aim at McConnell for endorsing the negotiations.
The bill is not designed to fix this problem. ... The chances of this bill passing the House are 0.000%. It aint gonna pass, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told reporters. This bill represents Senate Republican leadership waging war on House Republican leadership.
Cruz recalled that at a Senate GOP meeting Tuesday, he spoke up and told senators the legislation would give Democrats political cover to say they addressed the border situation. Why on earth would you be teeing up a vote with every Democrat and 10 or 12 Republicans that has no chance of passing the House? he said.
He tore into McConnell. Chuck Schumers enemies in Congress are conservatives in the Senate and are House Republican leadership, Cruz said. And sadly, Mitch McConnells enemies are conservatives in the Senate and House Republican leadership.
Cruz was joined by Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Rick Scott, R-Fla., Mike Lee, R-Utah, and others who complained that they still havent seen the legislation and demanding that they have enough time to review the text. The deal has not been finalized as appropriators are examining its provisions to check the funding levels.
The problem is our leader," Johnson said. "Leader McConnell is really the stage manager of this negotiation.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., an author of earlier immigration bills that were more liberal than the pending deal, also said it would be a bad political move to strike an immigration pact with Democrats.
A proponent of the emerging deal, Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said he believes at least half of the 49 GOP senators must support the immigration measure for it to have a chance of passage.
We need at least 25 voting for this or its a waste of time, in my opinion, Tillis said, adding that theres a path to getting there but its not assured.

Biden Vetoes Republican Measure to Block Electric Vehicle Charging Stations – The New York Times
Posted: at 11:26 am
President Biden on Wednesday vetoed a Republican-led effort that could have thwarted the administrations plans to invest $7.5 billion to build electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
In issuing the veto, Mr. Biden argued that the congressional resolution would have hurt domestic manufacturing as well as the clean energy transition.
If enacted, this resolution would undermine the hundreds of millions of dollars that the private sector has already invested in domestic E.V. charging manufacturing, and chill further domestic investment in this critical market, Mr. Biden said in a statement.
The move comes amid a growing political divide over electric vehicles. The Biden administration is aggressively promoting them as an important part of the fight to slow global warming. The landmark climate law signed in 2022 by Mr. Biden, the Inflation Reduction Act, offers incentives to consumers to buy electric vehicles and to manufacturers to build them in the United States.
Republicans, including former President Donald J. Trump, Mr. Bidens likely challenger in the 2024 election, have attacked electric vehicles as unreliable, inconvenient and ceding Americas auto manufacturing to China, which dominates the supply chain for electric vehicles.
Republicans, with some Democrats, voted to repeal a waiver issued by the Biden administration that allows federally funded electric vehicle chargers to be made from imported iron and steel, as long as they are assembled in the United States.
The buy American requirement of the 2021 infrastructure law says that iron and steel produced in the United States must be used for projects funded by the Federal Highway Administration Act. The law includes $7.5 billion to build a national network for recharging electric vehicles.
Installing electric vehicle charging stations is a top priority of the administration because surveys show that many motorists who are interested in buying E.V.s are hesitant to do so because of a lack of convenient charging stations.
Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, introduced the effort to kill the waiver. It hurts American companies and empowers foreign adversaries, like China, to control our energy infrastructure, he said in July. We should never use American dollars to subsidize Chinese-made products.
On Wednesday, learning of Mr. Bidens veto, Mr. Rubio wrote on the social media platform X, Why is he sending American taxpayer dollars to Chinese companies?
The White House argued that by repealing the waiver, lawmakers were actually blocking made-in-America requirements.
Thats because a repeal would have caused a return to a 1983 policy that waives domestic requirements for many manufactured products. That would have made it more likely that federal funds would be spent on chargers made in competitor nations like the Peoples Republic of China, Mr. Biden said in his veto statement.
The Senate voted, 50-48, in November to repeal the wavier, with the Democrats Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana joining Republicans to remove the exemption. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only Republican to oppose the measure.
The House voted, 209 to 198, in January for the repeal. Two Democrats, Jared Golden of Maine and Donald Davis of North Carolina, voted with Republicans in favor of the measure. Two Republicans, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Tom McClintock of California, opposed it.
