WASHINGTON — The Biden administration says it is in critical need of more money to bring the Jan. 6 rioters to justice. The Justice Department has told Congress that more than $34 million in funding is "critically needed" to fund the investigation. “The cases are unprecedented in scale and is expected to be among the most complex investigations prosecuted by the Department of Justice,” the Justice Department wrote to the legislative branch. Before they broke for recess, lawmakers involved in the talks told NBC News that the fate of the Justice request was still unsettled. I don’t have any problem giving the Justice Department the resources it needs to do that,” he said.

Cory Booker and Ron Wyden, have previously opposed the SAFE Act proceeding ahead of more comprehensive, criminal-justice-focused cannabis reform.

An amendment struck down by House Judiciary Democrats has led to debate online, with critics claiming the move indicates they support non-citizens voting in U.S. 8770 and Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act are not about expanding voting rights to non-citizens or changing legislation that prohibits non-citizen voting. He said the amendment was voted down because it was irrelevant and unnecessary, adding that the underlying bill had nothing to do with non-citizen voting. “(It) would not have changed a single practical aspect about federal law applicable to non-citizen voting,” he said. This bill was not about the legality of non-citizen voting.

Why public servants encounter reduced Social SecurityThe Social Security Fairness Act calls for repealing two titles of the Social Security Act that reduce or eliminate benefits for Americans who work in public service — the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset. The Social Security Fairness Act would fully repeal both rules, thus making benefits more generous for those affected. 82 would need offsets not to have a huge financial impact on the Social Security trust funds, and it doesn't provide that," Sprick said.
