House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer privately told Democrats on Tuesday that earmarks will be revived this Congress and that he can "guarantee" the effort "will be bipartisan," according to two people on the call.
A spokesman for Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Republican backing for the idea, which has long been supported by lawmakers in both parties.
Nothing like a little bribery. But hey, compromise? We'll take it and call it a great start!!!
Earmarks, for all their flaws, got things done. The current system we have, nothing gets done ever, thanks to Republicans.
more pork for everyone!
I don’t know enough about earmarks, but I’d bet dems would shoot themselves in the foot.

Biden veers off script to thank McConnell, but makes few other bipartisan overturesPresident Biden was elected on a promise to work across the aisle. But his first address to a joint session of Congress made few overtures to Republicans. Why should he make overtures to seditionists who tried to overturn a free and fair election? Republicans are not working for America or our democracy. That’s the story. That’s the news you should be covering. Gmafb. Joe was elected b4 Trump and the Republicans propagated the Big Lie & tried to destroy our democracy and steal his presidency. There can be no unity, without accountability, anyone saying different is a Republican who seeks to avoid it. I didn’t want Biden to work across the aisle.
