House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made clear on Thursday that the House won't take up the bipartisan infrastructure bill until the Senate passes a larger, more sweeping infrastructure package through budget reconciliation.
"Let me be really clear on this: We will not take up a bill in the House until the Senate passes the bipartisan bill and a reconciliation bill. If there is no bipartisan bill, then we'll just go when the Senate passes a reconciliation bill," the California Democrat said Thursday during her weekly news conference."There ain't gonna be no bipartisan bill, unless we have a reconciliation bill," she said.
The speaker's statement also puts pressure on moderate Democrats — such as Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia — to support the larger infrastructure package so that the bipartisan package can pass through Congress. So far, moderates including Manchin have refused to say if they'll vote for the reconciliation plan. Manchin says he's"open" to a reconciliation bill that changes the 2017 GOP tax law to raise taxes to pay for new spending programs.
Let’s fucking vote to put Pelosi and all the other house members on minimum wage.

Pelosi announces the House will establish a select committee to investigate Capitol riotHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday she will create a select committee to investigate the January 6 attack on the Capitol after Republicans blocked the formation of an independent commission. Nice try making this out to be much more than what it was...maybe you should visit the border where that was the narrative a few months ago. Horrible reporting. CNN is NOT credible, they are the new Enquirer. How about one to investigate the momths long attack on the Federal Building in Portland, while you are at it. This does not help Americans with economic struggles, high gas prices, continued food shortages, significant increase in food prices, unreasonable health care costs, exorbitant higher education costs. We need our Speaker to move forward, not focusing all efforts in revenge.
