Senate Democrats Pass $250 Billion Bipartisan Bill With One Simple TrickSchumer and company passed a massive bill investing in scientific research at home by invoking the threat of Chinese technological advancement. Just blame China for low wages, poverty, healthcare, infrastructure, voting rights, climate change, student debt, etc. If it takes making China the GOP's boogyman for a year to fix this country, well, sorry China, we'll make it up when we patent fusion and license it to you. Yeah, and money for billionaires. As long as they aren’t voting about issues that directly improve our lives and protect our rights they can find bipartisan votes. Can you imagine if I refused to do my job! I would be fired on the stop! These slackers in government need term limits!

Hartzler launches Senate run echoing TrumpMissouri Republican Rep. Vicky Hartzler launched her Senate campaign in a video Thursday, echoing former president Donald Trump's slogan to 'make America great once again' and touting her support for his border, military and economic policies. Why can’t these political charlatans develop their own policies, they still ride the Trump wave which was a complete failure. Uhhh Support for Military? Ohhhhh you mean like when Trump took money from the Defense Fund to pay for that stupid wall! I hope that slogan helps her as much as it did TFG loser in 2020.

Senate Dems consider changing voting & elections bill to win Manchin’s voteEzra Klein tells Lawrence O’Donnell that Sen. Manchin has put Democrats in a “tough situation” by creating two separate hurdles to legislate: opposing the voting and elections bills and refusing to eliminate the filibuster. He says it’s hard to see what Manchin’s “Plan B” is and suggests that Democrats should focus on passing popular legislation to win more Senate seats in 2022 “where then Manchin is not the deciding vote on everything.” thanks I don't care if we lose that seat, this whanker needs to be primaried next cycle. There needs to be consequences for a Democrat acting like a Republican Manchin is doing EXACTLY what DNC wants, expects him to do. This 30 year old 'Rotating Villain' tactic doesn't fool anyone anymore.
