It's only January 20, but you'd be forgiven for thinking we've fast-forwarded a couple of weeks to Groundhog Day, because the Republicans are in charge of the House and we're having a fight about the debt ceiling. Again.
This time, the RWNJ wing of the House thinks it's got leverage to cut Social Security and Medicare by taking the world economy hostage. President Biden says the nation's obligation to pay the bills (most of which were incurred during the Trump administration) is not a negotiation.
Among the topics MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills also talk about this week are the House Republicans' proposal to wipe out the IRS and impose a 30% sales tax, this week's post-Dobbs March for Life, and the GOP's George Santos problem.
