Deal or no deal? Confusion rules Senate infrastructure talks

Senators painted a confusing picture on the status of infrastructure talks as they left D.C. for the weekend, with some claiming major progress and others skeptical a deal is in hand.

The negotiating crew of 10 run by Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Rob Portman , has not finalized an agreement yet, according to sources in both parties. But they believe they are nearing a framework they can present to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Both leaders have kept track of recent talks.

One source close to the negotiations described the group’s strategy as a “bottom-up approach” and that “the top line will come from that.” But the source did not set a specific deadline to reach a deal. President Joe Biden has sought a minimum of $1 trillion in new spending in previous talks with Republicans and progressives have grown more vocal about keeping climate and spending priorities in the plans. Biden is overseas, complicating the consummation of a global agreement between Senate leaders, the rank-and-file and the White House.

Regular people work on Fridays and begin the weekend on Saturday.

The framework would be a complete capitulation by JoeBiden and Dems, and I can’t believe it will happen. But reconciliation? The article acts as if it’s a given, ignoring Sen_JoeManchin will kill any Dem infrastructure that doesn’t have LeaderMcConnell approval.

One of the real problems in the negotiations is that the original 'infrastructure' bill didn't have that much infrastructure in it.

😆a nwo member baphomet gave a blow job too,(head swollen) streets been making fun of for years after seeing his before&after photos

The Republicans will not allow the infrastructure to happen because that would interfere with their obstruction plan

No deal

It’s time to move on. It’s taking too long. Listen to Chairman Wyden on what to do. infrastructure

hmmm… for the weekend? Four day work week? I see…

Republicans won’t allow it under any circumstances.
