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.

    Right. General legal immunity that comes with being one of the people in power.

      Whenever there's a headline with a title like "Senator X sold $1m shares of EvilCorp after..." - I know that Senator X broke the law and he didn't give a single fuck because he knows nothing ever happens. Also - the media will lose interest after a few days or after a week absolute tops.
