“We have a lot of questions,” says Rep. Dan Kildee on Trump-appointed IRS commissioner Charles Rettig and his failure to audit Trump’s taxes. “Why didn’t he do his job? Why didn’t he do what the IRS operating manual requires?”

Stakes rise ahead of 2024 election in Michigan as House Democrat announces retirement

Competition is growing in Michigan's Congressional race as Democratic U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee announces he will be retiring next year after the

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s six-term Democratic U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee announced Thursday he will not seek reelection, opening another competitive Congressional seat in the battleground state.

Kildee, who currently sits on the House Ways and Means committee, has represented the Flint area in Congress since 2013. He succeeded his uncle, Dale Kildee, who had served in Congress for 36 years.

Earlier this year, the 65-year-old Kildee was diagnosed with a curable form of cancer that he has since had removed. He said the scare made him reassess his “future and path.”

Exclusive: One Democrat’s plan to stretch expanded unemployment insurance through December

Expanded unemployment benefits end in late July. Rep. Dan Kildee of Michigan wants to extend them through the rest of the year.

Ella Nilsen at Vox (05.01.2020): 

Even as some states start reopening, there’s little sign the coronavirus pandemic — or most of its adverse economic effects — will end anytime soon. But the $600-per-week lifeline the federal government extended to newly laid-off Americans will.

The aim of that money is two-fold: to keep millions of newly jobless Americans and their dependents financially afloat in a time of great economic uncertainty, and to keep them at home and not potentially getting exposed to the coronavirus at work. But these expanded benefits will run out in late July, after which Americans will have to fall back on smaller amounts of state benefits.

A new bill introduced by Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI) would extend the amount of time people who are unemployed due to the coronavirus can stay on the federal government’s expanded unemployment insurance until December 31, 2020.

“We can’t have these short-term interventions for what will be a long-term problem,” Kildee told Vox in a recent interview. “We need to scale the response to the actual crisis.”

Kildee’s bill would also:

Exempt UI benefits as income for all means-tested programs, including federal Section 8 housing, and food programs like SNAP and WIC.

Make the federal expanded benefits available as far back as March 13, 2020, when President Donald Trump declared a national emergency due to the coronavirus.

Provide expanded benefits to workers whose hours have been reduced due to the coronavirus.

Create a partial $300 weekly benefit for college students and recent college graduates who are currently excluded because they don’t have enough work experience.

In essence, Kildee is trying to ensure people who are laid off or impacted by the coronavirus economic crisis after July 31 still have a safety net to fall back on.
