We had the same number of crossings yesterday that we had 4 weeks ago before that Executive action went into place. That Executive action hasn't changed the numbers. What has changed is the way they are counting the numbers. They are now not including in the count the people who come to a port of entry who are not legally present. They are now not being included, so the numbers look smaller, but look at the asterisk and the fine print of who now is no longer being counted in the publicly released numbers. The numbers haven't changed; the way they are publishing the numbers has changed. Budget — Committees: House, Senate CBO: An Update to the Budget and Economic Outlook: 2024 to 2034 • CBO Director’s Statement CBO: Deficits, inflation, and economic growth higher Tax Policy — Committees: House, Senate, Joint House Republicans shift message on extending 2017 tax cuts: 2025 is not 2017 • Interest payments on the debt have already exceeded Medicare costs and next year are expected to eclipse defense spending. Senate Finance Democrats look to raise revenue for 2025 tax cliff Supreme Court dodges definitive answer on legality of a ‘wealth tax’ (SCOTUS opinion) Federal Spending — Committees: House, Senate — FY 2024 bills, table McConnell: Senate Democrats continue to indicate that they will stick to their longstanding demand for artificial parity between defense and nondefense appropriations for any increases above the President's budget. Executive — Committees: House, Senate Former Trump adviser Kash Patel points out House has authority to arrest Garland over subpoena WH: Nominations Sent to the Senate WH Letter: Amy Karpel designated as Chair of the United States International Trade Commission Supreme Court Hirono on Chevron: The Chevron doctrine allows Federal Agencies to determine congressional intent “where the law is unclear or ambiguous.” “Justice Gorsuch, one of the most outspoken critics of Chevron, has gone so far as to call for the Court to give the doctrine ’a tombstone no one can miss.’” • Look for the Supreme Court to issue an opinion in the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo case next week. It's currently tied for the Court's third most outstanding case since oral arguments, 1/17/2024. The Court is expected to wrap up its 2023 term next week with an estimated three to five case decisions per day Wednesday through Friday. • Cases pending Corruption — Praising Evil, Punishing Good (Isaiah 5:20) Senate report piles on new allegations of Boeing safety failures (204-page report) Commerce Policy — Committees: Senate, House McConnell: In the face of a dangerous world, the administration's obsession with performative climate policy is taking meaningful levers of American power simply off the table. For 3 1/2 years, the Biden administration has worked relentlessly to suffocate American energy production, both onshore and offshore.

Boeing CEO Calhoun apologizes to crash victims' families during Senate hearing (Meeting, Congress.gov) Committee news this week: Senate • House (Google News) Floor Outlook Senate McConnell on Maldonado nomination and judicial efficiency: It is incredible how clear-eyed our colleague sounds when he is not burdened with the uncomfortable responsibility of rubberstamping a favorite of the left's dark money royalty. • The Senate is scheduled to resume consideration of the Maldonado nomination upon its return in two weeks.
