Joe needs to stop wasting time w/the obstructionist clowns in his party and look at Romney, Murkowski, Collins, impeachment et. al. and sweeten the pot for them. That is of course if Biden's even serious about passing the bill he promised.
At the moment, we're proud of Sinema. I believe she and Manchin would actually switch parties except that it would take the spotlight off of them. I don't know what the future holds for those two, but at the moment they are favoring liberty.
As if we needed any more proof that the US chamber of commerce is anything but a GQP operation whose sole purpose is give Con-Dem infiltrators cover to tank bills/agendas.
Related and not related to all of this is the debt ceiling.

these piss poor lobbying opinion pieces aren't going to fly this time. Infra-only will be seen as a giant failure by a majority of the dem electorate.
