Dreamer D (R14)
Na samym wstępie Dirk mi zwariował. Czemu? Nikt nie wie. Nie umarła mu żadna bliska rodzina ani nie miał niskiego wskaźnika aspiracji. Magia 🤷♀️

At the very beginning, Dirk made me crazy. Why? Nobody knows. Nobody close to him died nor did he have a low aspiration bar. Magic 🤷♀️

Lin-Manuel Miranda was the one guy in DC last night with bipartisan support
Washington had its eyes on Lin-Manuel Miranda this week as the "Hamilton" creator made his way to the capital to receive two awards and meet with lawmakers.
...
His visit generated buzz on the Hill, as Washington lawmakers from both sides of the aisle gathered to both celebrate him and listen to him address issues he is passionate about.
"I had a really positive experience," Miranda told CNN of his DC trip. "And I got to ride the secret Congress train, which was fun."
Bipartisan appreciation for the arts
While accepting his Historical Society award Tuesday, Miranda made a plea to protect funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, calling the arts "fundamental to our democracy." His speech came several months after Trump's first full budget proposal, which he released in late May, suggested slashing funds for national endowments of the arts and humanities.
Miranda's celebrity was evident from the warm reception he was given by the crowd, especially from the bipartisan group of lawmakers present.
...
Many lawmakers had meetings with Miranda the following day on the Hill, where the Broadway star re-emphasized the importance of supporting arts programs across the US.
"I had a great day because I was talking about National Endowment for the Arts," Miranda told CNN. "We've been very lucky we've had bipartisan support on that score. It's been incredible to see the bipartisan support for that."
Among those who met with Miranda: New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, who said she was "so excited" to meet him that she immediately told him her "Hamilton"-related anecdotes: She did her sixth grade project on the Schuyler Mansion and she now represents Schuylerville.
The meeting was with members of the New York delegation, including host Rep. Nita Lowey and Reps. Joseph Crowley, Jose Serrano, Nydia Velazquez, Grace Meng, Kathleen Rice and Adriano Espaillat.
...
Defending DACA
Miranda, who was a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, has also been an advocate of immigrants' rights. His father, Luis Miranda, is a longtime social activist in New York City.
Miranda helped write the personal appeal "Hamilton" performers delivered to Vice President Mike Pence after a performance in New York shortly after Election Day 2016.
...
In the middle of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's Gala Wednesday night, news broke that Trump is moving toward a deal with Democrats that would protect the hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants from deportation.
Many at the Gala reflected on DACA while also celebrating the accomplishments of award recipients Miranda, author Sandra Cisneros and community health leader Castulo De La Rocha.
In his acceptance speech, Miranda emphasized the importance of defending DACA.
"To our legislators in DC, and throughout the country, fighting for your DREAMERS must be your quest," he said while accepting the award. "To civic leaders, community activists, I'm so honored to be here...to our leaders in the business community raise your voices ... to you DREAMERs, you inspire me every day. You remind me what makes me most proud of our country."
Lin_Manuel: Goodnight 🌍
Goodnight DC
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

New story in Politics from Time: President Trump Says Wall Must Be in New Border Security Legislation
(WASHINGTON) — Capitol Hill negotiators are hopeful of an agreement as they officially kick off talks on a homeland security spending bill stalled over funding for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall.
Left on their own, the seasoned House and Senate lawmakers say they could easily reach a border security deal as they have for two years in a row. But whether Trump would sign it is another matter altogether.
Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, hours before the negotiators were to sit down for their first meeting, that the group of Republicans and Democrats is “Wasting their time!” if they aren’t “discussing or contemplating a Wall or Physical Barrier.”
If the committee of Republicans and Democrats now meeting on Border Security is not discussing or contemplating a Wall or Physical Barrier, they are Wasting their time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2019
Democrats, who hold the House, remain united against Trump’s vision for a massive wall project, yet some are signaling a willingness to deal in the wake of the 35-day partial government shutdown.
“We’ve consistently said that we do not support a medieval border wall from sea to shining sea,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. “However, we are able to support fencing where is makes sense, but it should be done in an evidence-based fashion.”
“We’ve come to big agreements before,” said the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer of New York. Schumer said that “when the president stays out of the negotiations we almost always succeed. When he mixes in, it’s a formula for failure. So, I’d ask President Trump, ‘Let Congress deal with it on its own.'”
For their part, GOP leaders want to de-escalate the battle over the border wall and suggest they too could be flexible as bargainers, who hold their first session Wednesday, seek a bipartisan agreement.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who pressured Trump last week to end the shutdown, warned the president against triggering another shutdown or declaring a national emergency on the Southwest boundary, a move that could let him redirect budget funds to building segments of the wall.
When asked to describe a border security agreement he’d support, McConnell said, “I’m for whatever works that would prevent the level of dysfunction we’ve seen on full display here the last month and also doesn’t bring about a view on the president’s part that he needs to declare a national emergency.”
But broadening the scope of the talks to include broader immigration issues such as providing protection against deportation to “Dreamer” immigrants brought illegally to the country as children — or even must-do legislation to increase the government’s borrowing cap — appeared to be fading.
“I think this conference is going to be limited to the homeland security issues,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y.
A fresh, protracted crisis could make it difficult to tackle other upcoming business such as a deal to prevent cuts to the Pentagon and domestic agencies.
The longest shutdown ever was initiated by Trump after Democrats refused his demand for $5.7 billion to build segments of his border wall. Polls show people chiefly blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown and widely dislike the wall.
The president surrendered last Friday and agreed to reopen government for three weeks so negotiators can seek a border security deal, but with no commitments for wall funds. If negotiations on the 17-member panel falter, one option would be to enact another temporary funding measure to replace the current one, which expires Feb. 15.
Trump has retreated increasingly from the word “wall” as it became apparent that he lacked the votes in Congress to win taxpayer financing for the project, which he initially said would be financed by Mexico.
“I’m looking for safety and security over semantics,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told “Fox & Friends.” On Wednesday. “I don’t care what they call it, but it has to be a barrier. It has to protect.”
White House spokeswoman Mercedes Schlapp said: “The president has perfectly set this table for the negotiations with Congress. He wants to give Congress one more chance.”
Democrats have repeatedly said they wouldn’t finance the wall, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has called “immoral.” In recent weeks, they’ve expressed support for fencing or physical barriers but have left ambiguous exactly what they would back. They’ve said they want to spend money on more border patrol agents and technology like scanning devices and drones.
“What we aren’t going to do is use taxpayer money to fund a political applause line,” said Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass.
McConnell and many GOP lawmakers have long sought to avoid government shutdowns, aware of the tactic’s long and consistent history of backfiring badly on whoever sparks one. In the one that just ended, 800,000 federal workers went unpaid for five weeks, countless Americans were denied federal services and mushrooming problems included slowed air travel and delayed IRS refunds.
Members of both parties have opposed Trump declaring an emergency on the Mexican border. They say it would set a dangerous precedent for future presidents who might use the strategy to push agendas that stall in Congress. If Trump issued the declaration, it would trigger near-immediate lawsuits that might block the money anyway.
“Most members, whatever faction in the Republican caucus, would be opposed to a shutdown and would do everything they can to work some kind of deal,” said Rep. Mark Walker of North Carolina, a member of House GOP leadership.

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/politics/the-note-howard-schultz-forces-democrats-into-early-reckoning/
The Note: Howard Schultz forces Democrats into early reckoning
The TAKE with Rick Klein
Interested in The Note?
Add The Note as an interest to stay up to date on the latest The Note news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
A man who enraged the party by leaving it behind may wind up bringing more help to the Democratic Party in 2020 than he could imagine.
That’s a big maybe surrounding Howard Schultz‘s announced presidential ambitions and his ongoing book tour. Conventional wisdom asserts a third-party candidate could doom efforts to defeat President Donald Trump, but Schultz has been firing back at suggestions that he could throw the race to Trump by siphoning votes from the eventual Democratic nominee. He’s also offered a series of harsh critiques of Democratic candidates’ plans on taxes, higher education and health care — even labeling Sen. Kamala Harris’ Medicare-for-all plan as “not American.”
“In order to run as a Democrat today, you have to fall in line with free Medicare for everybody, free — free college for everybody, a free job for everybody,” Schultz said on “The View.” “We can’t afford to do it free.”
The early part of the Democratic race has been devoid of major policy disagreements. That’s in large part because the major candidates have moved significantly to the left of where the party’s middle seemed to be just one election cycle ago.
Maybe that’s where Democrats want to or have to land in 2020. At least now, though, they have to talk about it — in part because Schultz is forcing the conversation.
The RUNDOWN with MaryAlice Parks
Kicking off Wednesday is the most high-profile conference committee in Congress in the last few years. A team of 17 lawmakers, nine from the House and eight from Senate, will meet publicly on Capitol Hill to formally begin negotiations on funding for border security in the hope of avoiding another shutdown in just a few weeks.

The president last week ended the record-long partial shutdown by agreeing with Democrats to let a congressional team get to work to reconcile party differences over spending on a wall or any other possible border improvements.
On ABC News’ “The Briefing Room” on Tuesday, both Democrat and Republican House lawmakers assigned to this new conference committee said they thought the scope of the work should be narrow.
Chairperson of the House Appropriations committee, Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., struck down the idea of raising the country’s debt ceiling as a part of this big deal. And Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ga., said he thought any legal protection for the “Dreamers” was “outside the scope out this committee” too.
Limiting the debate could work, but it could also make it harder to find sweeteners to win over skeptics.
The TIP with Adam Kelsey
When Sen. Sherrod Brown won reelection by more than 6 points in Ohio last November, Democrats immediately eyed the senator — then perhaps best known for the frequency by which he is labeled “rumpled” — as the potential solution to their Midwest problem.
In 2016, Trump won Michigan and Wisconsin each by less than a point and the Buckeye State by more than 8 points — three states and fewer than 400,000 total votes that could’ve tipped the election to Hillary Clinton.
It’s fitting then that Brown, who is now considering a presidential run, will launch a listening tour in Cleveland on Wednesday, focused on the blue-collar issues central to winning over the Rust Belt.

Brown’s “Dignity of Work” tour, which eventually will take him to Iowa and New Hampshire, will call attention to the country’s stagnant wages and rising cost of living. It also will provide the senator with the first substantial platform to test out his message.
Analyses of how Trump tapped into the American worker’s psyche have oscillated between arguments about economics and identity, but several red-district and state Democrats, like Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Pa., and Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., were successful last year after harnessing support from labor unions. Though Brown may still not be ready to make an official announcement, his tour could be the first attempt by a presidential candidate to rally those groups.

Congress passes another stopgap spending bill, averting shutdown
close
Video
Shutdown countdown: Stopgap measure doesn't include DACA fix
Congressional Republicans try to avoid a potentially momentum-busting government shutdown; Peter Doocy reports from Capitol Hill.
The House and Senate Thursday approved a temporary spending bill, avoiding a government shutdown that would have kept lawmakers in the nation's capital for Christmas.
The House approved the legislation, known as a continuing resolution, by a vote of 231-188. The Senate followed just over two hours later, passing the measure 66-32.
The continuing resolution funds the government through Jan. 19. A two-week continuing resolution passed by Congress earlier this month expires at 11:59 p.m. Friday.
The stopgap legislation means that a number of key issues will face Congress when it returns in January -- most notably the question of what to do about immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children and are enrolled in the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Trump ended the program in September, giving Congress a March deadline to furnish a legislative fix.

Focus shifts from tax bill to spending showdown in DC
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi vowed earlier this month that lawmakers "will not leave here" without an agreement to protect so-called "Dreamers" from deportation. On Thursday, she told the House Rules Committee that the young immigrants in the program "embody the best in our nation: patriotism, hard work, perseverance."
"We should not leave them to celebrate the holidays in fear," Pelosi added.
Trump and Republicans are pushing for additional border security and other immigration enforcement steps in any DACA agreement.
"The vast majority of Republicans want to see a DACA solution," House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told reporters. "They just want to see a DACA solution that's balanced."
The continuing resolution -- the third stopgap bill since Oct. 1 -- includes a $2.1 billion fix for an expiring program that pays for veterans to seek care outside the Department of Veterans Affairs system; a temporary fix to ensure states facing shortfalls from the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) won't have to purge children from the program, and a short-term extension for an expiring overseas wiretapping program aimed at tracking terrorists.

New shutdown deadline looms as Dems push fight over dreamers
GOP lawmakers insisted the legislation was crucial to keep operations running and give negotiators more time to finalize a spending blueprint.
Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said the legislation was essential for the "stability of our economy, and the security and well-being of the American people."
Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., called the result "an epic failure of governing," adding "the Republican majority has made a complete mess of the basics of governing."
Among Republicans, opposition to the temporary measure came mostly from the party's defense hawks, who had hoped to enact record increases for the military this year and force the Senate to debate a full-year, $658 billion defense spending measure. But that idea was a nonstarter with the Senate, especially Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who will only agree to Pentagon increases if domestic programs get a comparable hike.
The short-term spending bill does contain about $5 billion to upgrade missile defenses to respond to the threat from North Korea and to repair two destroyers damaged in accidents this year in the Pacific.
The legislation also has a provision to turn off automatic cuts to many "mandatory" spending programs, including Medicare, that would otherwise be triggered by the tax cut bill. Democrats had sought to highlight the looming spending cuts in arguing against a $1.5 trillion tax package that passed both houses of Congress without a single Democratic vote.
The House also passed an $81 billion measure to deliver rebuilding aid to hurricane victims in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean as well as fire-ravaged states. However, sources told Fox News the Senate would not take up the bill before leaving for its Christmas recess.

Dems make opening offer, with no money for Trump’s wall
WASHINGTON — Democrats in the House offered a border security plan on Wednesday that would not provide a penny for Donald Trump’s border wall, ignoring — for now — an early-morning warning from the president that they’d be “wasting their time” if they don’t come up with wall money.
The Democratic offer is just a starting point in House-Senate talks on border security funding that kicked off in a basement room in the Capitol. A top Democrat acknowledged that “everything is on the table,” including the border barriers demanded by Trump. Lawmakers on both sides flashed signs of flexibility, eager to demonstrate willingness to compromise in hopes of resolving the standoff with Trump that sparked the just-ended 35-day partial government shutdown.
The high-stakes talks are taking place against the backdrop of another possible shutdown in mid-February — an outcome Trump’s GOP allies in the Senate are especially eager to avoid. But while Trump’s rhetoric has cooled, he’s proven to be an unpredictable force in the shutdown debate, often veering back to his original demands for the wall. Lawmakers negotiating the bill are well aware that he could move to quash an agreement at any time, plunging them back into crisis.
Still, Trump’s request for $5.7 billion to build about 234 miles of barriers along the U.S. border with Mexico faces uphill odds. Even Trump’s GOP allies acknowledge he may only get a fraction of it. The Democratic plan includes new money for customs agents, scanners, aircraft and boats to police the border, and to provide humanitarian assistance for migrants.
“Democrats are once again supporting strong border security as an essential component of homeland security. Border security, however, is more than physical barriers; and homeland security is more than border security,” said Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif.
Senators revisited a bipartisan $1.6 billion proposal for 65 miles of fencing in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas that passed a key committee last year. The panel of old-school lawmakers from the powerful appropriations committees has ample expertise on homeland security issues, as many of them helped finance fence built over the years that stretches across much of the 1,954-mile border.
“Because of the work we did years ago we’ve already built almost 700 miles of fencing on our nation’s border,” said Rep. David Price, D-N.C. “Whatever the president may say it is far from an open border. Meanwhile, the number of undocumented immigrants crossing our border or attempting to cross remain not at alarming highs but at historic lows.”
Republican allies of the president said there will have to be some money to meet Trump’s demands. But they also predict privately that the White House is eager to grab an agreement and declare victory — even if winning only a fraction of Trump’s request.
“The components of border security are people, technology and a barrier. And everybody has voted for all three,” said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D. “To get to an agreement we’ve got to have all three in there.”
But as talks on the homeland security budget open, Trump and Republicans are in a weakened position just 17 days before the government runs out of money again without a deal. Democrats won back the House in a midterm rout and prevailed over Trump in the shutdown battle.
“Smart border security is not overly reliant on physical barriers,” House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said as the session began. She said the Trump administration has failed to demonstrate that physical barriers are cost effective compared with better technology and more personnel.
The comments at once served notice that Democrats weren’t ruling out financing physical structures, but would do so only on a limited basis.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, said that while Republicans favor improved border security technology, “Smart technology alone does not actually stop anyone from crossing into the U.S. illegally.”
Shelby said physical barriers are needed “not from coast to coast, but strategically placed where traffic is highest.” That echoed recent remarks by Trump as he’s retreated from his more strident comments from the 2016 presidential campaign.
The president surrendered last Friday and agreed to reopen government for three weeks so negotiators can seek a border security deal, but with no commitments for wall funds. If negotiations on the 17-member panel falter, one option would be to enact another temporary government funding measure to replace the current one, which expires Feb. 15.
Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, hours before the negotiators were to sit down for their first meeting, that the group of Republicans and Democrats is “Wasting their time!” if they aren’t “discussing or contemplating a Wall or Physical Barrier.”
Prospects for broadening the scope of the talks to include broader immigration issues such as providing protection against deportation to “Dreamer” immigrants brought illegally to the country as children — or even must-do legislation to increase the government’s borrowing cap — appeared to be fading.
“It’s just a matter of border security at this moment,” Democrat Lowey said.

Donald Trump says ‘wall’ must be part of lawmakers’ border deal
Donald Trump says ‘wall’ must be part of lawmakers’ border deal Donald Trump says ‘wall’ must be part of lawmakers’ border deal https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
WASHINGTON — Capitol Hill negotiators are hopeful of an agreement as they officially kick off talks on a homeland security spending bill stalled over funding for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall.
Left on their own, the seasoned House and Senate lawmakers say they could easily reach a border security deal as they have for two years in a row. But whether Trump would sign it is another matter altogether.
Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, hours before the negotiators were to sit down for their first meeting, that the group of Republicans and Democrats is “Wasting their time!” if they aren’t “discussing or contemplating a Wall or Physical Barrier.”
If the committee of Republicans and Democrats now meeting on Border Security is not discussing or contemplating a Wall or Physical Barrier, they are Wasting their time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2019
Democrats, who hold the House, remain united against Trump’s vision for a massive wall project, yet some are signalling a willingness to deal in the wake of the 35-day partial government shutdown.
“We’ve consistently said that we do not support a medieval border wall from sea to shining sea,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. “However, we are able to support fencing where is makes sense, but it should be done in an evidence-based fashion.”
“We’ve come to big agreements before,” said the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer of New York. Schumer said that “when the president stays out of the negotiations we almost always succeed. When he mixes in, it’s a formula for failure. So, I’d ask President Trump, ’Let Congress deal with it on its own.”’
For their part, GOP leaders want to de-escalate the battle over the border wall and suggest they too could be flexible as bargainers, who hold their first session Wednesday, seek a bipartisan agreement.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who pressured Trump last week to end the shutdown, warned the president against triggering another shutdown or declaring a national emergency on the Southwest boundary, a move that could let him redirect budget funds to building segments of the wall.
When asked to describe a border security agreement he’d support, McConnell said, “I’m for whatever works that would prevent the level of dysfunction we’ve seen on full display here the last month and also doesn’t bring about a view on the president’s part that he needs to declare a national emergency.”

But broadening the scope of the talks to include broader immigration issues such as providing protection against deportation to “Dreamer” immigrants brought illegally to the country as children — or even must-do legislation to increase the government’s borrowing cap — appeared to be fading.
“I think this conference is going to be limited to the homeland security issues,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y.
A fresh, protracted crisis could make it difficult to tackle other upcoming business such as a deal to prevent cuts to the Pentagon and domestic agencies.
The longest shutdown ever was initiated by Trump after Democrats refused his demand for $5.7 billion to build segments of his border wall. Polls show people chiefly blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown and widely dislike the wall.
The president surrendered last Friday and agreed to reopen government for three weeks so negotiators can seek a border security deal, but with no commitments for wall funds. If negotiations on the 17-member panel falter, one option would be to enact another temporary funding measure to replace the current one, which expires Feb. 15.

Trump has retreated increasingly from the word “wall” as it became apparent that he lacked the votes in Congress to win taxpayer financing for the project, which he initially said would be financed by Mexico.
“I’m looking for safety and security over semantics,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told “Fox & Friends.” On Wednesday. “I don’t care what they call it, but it has to be a barrier. It has to protect.”
White House spokeswoman Mercedes Schlapp said: “The president has perfectly set this table for the negotiations with Congress. He wants to give Congress one more chance.”
Democrats have repeatedly said they wouldn’t finance the wall, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has called “immoral.” In recent weeks, they’ve expressed support for fencing or physical barriers but have left ambiguous exactly what they would back. They’ve said they want to spend money on more border patrol agents and technology like scanning devices and drones.
“What we aren’t going to do is use taxpayer money to fund a political applause line,” said Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass.

McConnell and many GOP lawmakers have long sought to avoid government shutdowns, aware of the tactic’s long and consistent history of backfiring badly on whoever sparks one. In the one that just ended, 800,000 federal workers went unpaid for five weeks, countless Americans were denied federal services and mushrooming problems included slowed air travel and delayed IRS refunds.
Members of both parties have opposed Trump declaring an emergency on the Mexican border. They say it would set a dangerous precedent for future presidents who might use the strategy to push agendas that stall in Congress. If Trump issued the declaration, it would trigger near-immediate lawsuits that might block the money anyway.
“Most members, whatever faction in the Republican caucus, would be opposed to a shutdown and would do everything they can to work some kind of deal,” said Rep. Mark Walker of North Carolina, a member of House GOP leadership.

Lin-Manuel Miranda pushes for federal arts funding
Broadway phenom Lin-Manuel Miranda starred in a new kind of show Wednesday: Washington politics.
The New Yorker held court in the halls of congress battling for arts and humanities government funding.
“The arts aren’t left or right. The humanities aren’t left or right,” Miranda told a bipartisan group of New York lawmakers, according to source in one meeting with lawmakers.
The “Hamilton” musical creator darted to his Capitol meetings — including one with Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Thad Cochran — while singing aboard the underground congressional subway in a members’ only cart. He got the special seating thanks to his hometown Rep. Adriano Espaillat and was joined by his father, Luis Miranda, a New York political consultant.
He posted videos of himself belting show tunes on what would normally be a subdued Capitol commute for hardened Capitol Hill staffers and lawmakers.
Working with the National Humanities Alliance, Miranda is conducting round table discussions and office visits with lawmakers. He’s also huddling with members of the congressional Hispanic Caucus on protecting young illegal immigrants, known as Dreamers.
Rep. Nita Lowey, who hosted a morning meeting with the New York delegation, said Miranda has the star power to ensure arts programs don’t get hacked in the upcoming budget.
“I know that Lin-Manuel’s passion and talent and commitment, and the fact that we all love and admire him, can make a difference in the fight for funding for the arts and humanities,” Lowey said.
