JTN: Congressional Democrats have joined their Republican colleagues in voting against the White House in a recent string of votes, highlighting the limits of President Joe Biden’s influence in the legislature.
The House of Representatives has had a busy week, holding several key votes on issues ranging from inflation to environmental investing practices.

Too. Little. Too. Late.
No more Bela Pelosi too hold things over their heads!
