The House will vote on both President Joe Biden's sweeping social safety net plan and the bipartisan infrastructure bill on Friday, according to a senior Democratic aide.

For reference - 2021 congressional calendar

Both the house and senate have a vacation next week. And - of course - they have a week off for Thanksgiving too.

I have a crazy idea. If they don't actually vote tomorrow - cancel all their vacation days until they pass the bills.

      work

      I don't know if I'd call it that. Take this phone call for example...

      Mr. MoneyBags: "You again, Asshole?"

      Senator Asshole: "Hello, I hope you have been well and—"

      Mr. MoneyBags: "Cut to the fucking chase. Why do you guys in DC do the song and dance? You called me to beg for money. I know it. You know it. So - is what you promised me in the BIF and the BBB gonna happen? It better."

        TBF it's more like 4 hours a day of taking phone calls from guys who talk just like Donald Trump and then 3-4 hours of golfing or eating dinner with those same guys.
