Description
Democrats won big. Now Hakeem Jeffries won’t say whether he’d risk a shutdown to cut off funding for Trump’s Iran war, and Kirsten Gillibrand is already floating a Medicare buy-in as a fallback to Medicare for All.
Jordan Chariton calls out Democratic leaders for bargaining down what voters want before they even take power. Chris Van Hollen and Ro Khanna are pushing to cut off war funding. And in Chicago, a mother tells Status Coup exactly where she’d rather see her tax dollars go: childcare and the neighborhoods Washington keeps shortchanging.
