NYT: McCarthy Heads to El Paso to ‘Change The Subject’
People across the country love the American Rescue Plan – and Minority Leader McCarthy’s home district is no exception.
That may be why
McCarthy is desperately trying to distract Americans from the fact that every single House Republican voted to block a relief bill that delivers vaccines in arms, money in pockets, children back in school safely and people back in jobs.
After a weekend of watching local coverage of the
American Rescue Plan’s benefits for his hometown of Bakersfield, it’s no wonder McCarthy is trying to change the channel.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â 23ABC is partnering with the
Community Action Partnership of Kern to help provide the daily nutrition needs of many of the county s residents, including those within our county who may be in a food desert.
SACRAMENTO â Senator Melissa Hurtado (D-Sanger) today introduced legislation to create greater access to childcare for our agricultural workers in the hours needed to support their jobs.
âAgriculture is the backbone of our community â those who uproot their lives to provide the food we eat must have access to childcare for the hours they work,â said Senator Hurtado. âCalifornia must do whatever it can to meet the needs of these workers and their children.â
The legislation, Senate Bill 393, aligns Californiaâs lone Migrant Childcare Alternative Payment Program with funding available to other parental choice voucher-based childcare programs. Due to an antiquated statute, the program did not receive a fair share of new childcare slots for workers to access.Â
