After many fits and starts, the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed the Senate with an overwhelming majority Tuesday morning, a rare moment of comity in a hyper-polarized time.
69-30. As bipartisan as it gets.
Excellent! They’ll pass the reconciliation bill too and I’m still thinking the odds on the voting rights bills are better than even. You can feel the “make me” momentum building.
This money is well spent making DJT wet himself in impotent rage.
Nice. Next!
But I certainly expect “concerned” MSM pundits to bemoan is wasn’t more like 75- 25 or even better, 80-20.
AMEN!
HALLELUJAH!!!
Good work Dems!!!
I fail to understand Speaker. Pelosi’s strategy here. Would it not be a good thing to get the Infrastructure Bill passed and signed now? That would begin to get the money out, projects approved and people hired, That would start pumping badly needed additional money into the economy and create much needed additional jobs? Wouldn’t that be a good thing?
Trump hates it but he doesn’t know why. It’s just like Obamacare to him.
Shit Cuomo just resigned

While addressing sexual harassment allegations,
has just resigned. Says his resignation is effective in 14 days.
Sinema, amazingly, has said that she refuses to miss her scheduled vacation — again, we’ll see.
This is where I wish we had a senior Democrat in the AZ state government to pull Sinema aside and remind her she works for the people of AZ, not the other way around.
This is the day all the chicken littles and BedWetters said would never come! Let’s listen to their silence for a moment before they begin to wail about the next catastrophy.
Because she’s not about to get played by squishy Senate Dems if they decide to get cold feet on the much larger, far more important reconciliation package. She’s not gonna let Manchin and Sinema play her. It’s either both packages or none. She’s brilliant like that.
He hates it, but claims it’s his plan but it was never brought forward. Mitch would never support it, the traitor.
A semi-load of Depends just pulled up at Mar a Lago and the driver and workers are scurrying to unload.
Hmmm… he thinks the lines he crossed were redrawn while he was busy being a lecherous prick.
This vote is a sign that Trump is losing his hold on the GQP. They are still mostly assholes but they see his power waning and are less afraid of him. A couple of indictments should finish him off as the main power broker for the GQP
Curious what the GOP knows that we don’t.
Those phone calls he made to the states asking to ‘fix’ the election is plain as day crime. The GOP senators can see that. His days are numbered.
If it turns out to be none, this will be a true FUBAR. Holding your own party hostage could lead to the gun going off, and then what? Take the win and keep pushing forward. It’s good politics too.
