    The dems fail day after week after month after month to make serious progress. And now it actually seems they are going to try to force this shit through by tomorrow so Biden can put his "X" on it before he leaves for Europe.

    This is all truly amazing even for them.

    WHERE WE ARE:

    • paid family leave is OUT of the deal. Per source and Sanders on record (bt @caphilltrish). Manchin blocked it.

    • Manchin and Sanders r in major standoff over Medicare dental/vision, both signaling their view is a red line.

    • and there are a dozen other issues.

      I think forcing it tomorrow is all talk. They tried doing that last month and House progressives told them to fuck off. Nothing's changed since then.

        I hope you're right. Besides any last minute bill being dog shit - more and more last minute changes will cause mistakes. Imagine a typo or two that gives energy companies a few billion not for shutting down their coal power plants but for keeping them running.

          Remember the handwritten notes in the margins of Trump’s tax bill or whatever lol

            the handwritten notes

            Did that actually happen more than once?

            Trump's presidency overtaxed my bad memory. About 100 years worth of events happened during his term. Sometime after Charlottesville in 2017 memory center just started deleting older stuff to make more room for newer stuff. That happened time and time again.
