This week saw fallout from the impeachment trial as Trump took retribution against officials who had testified against him. On top of this, Trump began to push for over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and other social programs, as well as aid to Yemen.
As always, I don’t expect to catch everything, so let me know if there’s anything you think I’ve missed. The full omnibus is being maintained here (a spreadsheet version can be found here). For an overall summary, click here.
