Urging the leaders to reject McConnells idea, the letter -- circulated by Reps. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) and John Sarbanes (D-Md.) -- said that including the measure in the year-end bill would only further surrender the party apparatus to the influence of millionaires and billionaires. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
