Description
This looks like it will be the final week of the 117th Congress… and
it’s going to be a busy one. The clock is ticking on the Democratic
House majority, and they are looking to wrap up some unfinished business
before Republicans move in and take control. Number one on that list is
to close out the Jan. 6 select committee, the panel created last year to
investigate the attack on the Capitol by angry Donald Trump supporters.
Another unanswered question for House Democrats: what to do with Trump’s
taxes? Tomorrow the Ways and Means Committee is set to meet and hash
that out.
The real must-do on the list however is to pass a bill funding the
government. Congress has until Friday to do that, and it appears this
morning they are on track to do so. But there is some unresolved
intrigue surrounding what might get attached to the big year-end bill.

Nov. 16, 2021: A victory lap and a reality check: It was all smiles and selfies at the White House on Monday as Democrats celebrated passage of the bipartisan infrastructure deal. But rising voter concern about inflation has cast a pall over President Joe Biden's victory lap. The White House has tried to frame the president’s agenda as a long-term answer to inflation. A pair of stories this morning in POLITICO, however, underscores why those claims are probably wishful thinking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
