After much delay, senators unveiled a nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, wrapping up days of painstaking work and launching what is certain to be a lengthy debate over President Joe Biden’s big priority.

Sunday night, wrapping up days of painstaking work on the inches-thick bill and launching what is certain to be a lengthy debate over President Joe Biden’s big priority.

Senators and staff labored behind the scenes for days to write the massive bill. It was supposed to be ready Friday, but by Sunday even more glitches were caught and changes made. To prod the work, Schumer kept senators in session over the weekend, encouraging the authors to finish up work. Republican negotiator Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio said the final product will be “great for the American people.”

The spending is broadly popular among lawmakers, bringing long-delayed capital for big-ticket items that cites and states can rarely afford on their own. Cornyn said he expects Schumer to allow all senators to have a chance to shape the bipartisan bill and allow for amendments from members of both parties.

Let's see. The only thing they've accomplished is impeaching a guy that was already gone. They passed a stimulus he wanted passed months earlier and now tied up on January 6th nonsense. Will they finally get something done because they've done nothing so far but lie.
