President Donald Trump shakes hands with then-House Speaker Paul Ryan
during an event after the passage of the "Tax Cut and Jobs Act Bill" on
the South Lawn of the White House, Dec. 20, 2017.

The Impossible, Inevitable Survival of the Trump Tax Cuts
:
In 2017 when they were passed, the Democratic Party was united in its
opposition to the Trump tax cuts. Five years later, the tax cuts are
still in law with no plans to repeal them. David Dayen has the story.

Manchin's Big Lie
:
Manchin allegedly killed the Democrats' bill because, he said, he was
concerned about inflation. But as Harold Meyerson writes, the bill was
anti-inflationary; what he really didn't like was boosting green energy.

"Welcome to Hell"
: Mars
Inc., known for its chocolate bars, also owns most pet hospitals in the
United States. Employees report toxic working conditions, leading to
severe burnout and in some cases, suicide. Read the full story from
Jarod Facundo and Brian Osgood.

Reconciliation Bill Lacks Language Addressing Insulin
:
The remnants of Build Back Better now exclude provisions for negotiating
insulin prices, which have now been placed in a separate bill unlikely
to overcome the filibuster. Ramenda Cyrus wrote about the failures of
bipartisanship in securing insulin price regulation.

How Rep. Haley Stevens Could Get Tossed Off the Michigan Ballot
:
Rep. Haley Stevens appears to have lied about her address on her
nomination papers, concealing that she lives outside the district she's
running in. It could throw her off the ballot. Austin Ahlman has the
full story.
