Standing onstage in December at the Queen Theater in Wilmington, Delaware, Joe Biden described his freshly nominated pick to run the White House budget office, Neera Tanden, as "brilliant." He cited her hardscrabble upbringing. And he even quoted his father t…

US president pushes for Senate action on $1.9 trillion federal aid package as Republicans line up in opposition.

Neera Tanden's been in Senate purgatory for a week now as she and the Biden administration fight to convince Sen. Lisa Murkowski to back her bid to be White House budget chief.

With Democrats abandoning a minimum wage hike, progressives focus on a new "ultra-rich" tax.

The bill is expected to pass, but a provision raising the minimum wage faces opposition in the Senate.

As both parties anticipate the Senate parliamentarian’s decision, there is no official Plan B.

The raise comes amid US President Joe Biden's plans to raise the national minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025.

As Biden’s choice for budget chief flounders in the Senate, the White House has rallied her allies in the South Asian community to her defense.

The message emblazoned on the bright pink sweater Sen. Kyrsten Sinema wore presiding over the Senate this week may not have been intended specifically for the White House, but the words could still offer fair warning to the West Wing.

Longtime Democratic operative Neera Tanden drew bipartisan criticism for critical tweets in Trump era

The White House so far is showing little sign of accepting defeat and has insisted she could still have the votes for confirmation.

Tuesday's hearing on raised a series of questions that directly involve the previous administration.

Late last week, Manchin all but tanked the Biden administration’s nominee.

House Democrats aren't expecting to get a single GOP vote for their aid package, which they're taking up with the procedural maneuver known as reconciliation.

President Joe Biden has not been as optimistic as the Vermont Independent about the prospects of minimum wage working via reconciliation, though he supports a $15 minimum wage.

Republican senators from Arizona played key roles in immigration reform efforts. Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly could do so this year.

'The minimum wage provision is not appropriate for the reconciliation process. It is not a budget item. And it shouldn’t be in there,' she said.

She's here, she's a femme queer and now she's a senator. Get used to it.

Republican pols are still nearly all white Christians, but among Democrats in Congress and in the 2020 field, there’s more than one of everything.

Congress members usually take their oath using a Bible, or another religious book.

Two amazing insights from the Bulwark today that just make sense: 1. The GOPe has already accepted Trump’s 2024 inevitability. That’s why Kemp and Megyn Kelly are doing what they’re doing. 2. Kyrsten Sinema (not Manchin) is going to be the Democrat on the No Labels ticket.

I’m always baffled by the cruelty of law makers like Kyrsten Sinema and Greg Abbot with the way they treat other human beings considering their physical mobility situation. I would have thought that they would be more sympathetic.
