Thin on the right so far

Only 1 of the 24 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

House Democrats are developing a 100-day agenda to implement if they secure a majority in the upcoming midterm elections. This plan centres on addressing affordability concerns and initiating oversight of the previous Trump administration. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that upon taking power, the party would immediately focus on reinstating Affordable Care Act tax breaks, reversing Republican cuts to Medicaid, holding votes against the Iran war, and undoing President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The agenda is anticipated to be introduced in the first 100 hours after the new Congress convenes in January.

Jeffries described the agenda as a commitment to the American people, citing high living costs and the struggles of working individuals within the current economic climate. The plan aims to tap into voter concerns about affordability and inflation. The undertaking will also serve as a test of the Democrats' ability to maintain unity and avoid internal divisions. Representative Greg Casar, chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, contrasted this approach with that of the Freedom Caucus, stating that progressives aim to pass legislation while the Freedom Caucus focuses on disruption.
