GOT TIME FOR MILK? AN OVERWHELMED HOUSE, SOMEHOW, DOES.

With aid to Ukraine and Israel in limbo, a border deal elusive and a mountain of
spending legislation left undone, the House turned its attention to whole milk
in schools.

“The nutrients in whole milk, like protein, calcium and vitamin D, provide the
fuel Santa needs to travel the whole globe in one night,” said Representative
Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina. “Whole milk is the unsung hero of
his Christmas journey.”Credit...Tom Brenner for The New York Times


By Robert Jimison

Despite knowing how to milk a cow and growing up with a Serena Williams “Got
Milk?” poster on his wall, Robert Jimison’s main source of dairy intake is ice
cream.

With one day to go until Congress plans to call it quits for the year and
members head home for the holidays, the House got down to pressing business on
Wednesday, using its precious remaining time to pass legislation to bring whole
milk back to America’s school cafeterias.

An emergency aid package to fund the wars in Ukraine and Israel hung in limbo,
stymied by a Republican filibuster in the Senate. Bipartisan talks on how to
tackle a surge of migration at the U.S. border with Mexico showed no sign of
yielding a breakthrough. And lawmakers were facing a daunting time crunch to act
on a dozen federal spending measures when they return after New Year’s Day, at
which point they will have just eight working days to avoid a partial government
shutdown.

But on Wednesday in the Republican-controlled House, which has reached new
heights of dysfunction and paralysis this year, none of that was on the agenda.
Instead, sandwiched between a vote to formally authorize a months-old
impeachment inquiry against President Biden and a resolution condemning
university presidents for their testimony about addressing antisemitism, the
House churned out arguments for and against the merits of full-fat dairy for
children.
