Under my [the #Biden] Administration, #unemployment has been the lowest in 50 yrs, a record 19M new businesses have been created, & #inflation & #InterestRates are falling. And we’re seeing the power of #CollectiveBargaining to lift up #workers’ wages—including the progress made by #dockworkers on record #wages w/carriers, & #port operators & the reopening of East Coast & Gulf #ports.

The #RulesCommittee has traditionally been an organ of the speaker, & #legislation is typically advanced to the floor in a straight party-line vote.

It reflected the extent of #FarRight anger over Speaker #MikeJohnson’s plan to push through the #legislation over the opposition of #ultraconservative #Republicans, & underscored how heavily the speaker will have to rely on #Democrats to push it across the finish line.

#HouseRepublicans took a critical step late Thurs night toward bringing up the long-stalled foreign #aid bill for #Ukraine, after being forced to rely on Democrat votes to move a plan to consider it out of a key cmte & onto the floor.
