House Democrats on Friday broke a monthslong fever that has imperiled their entire domestic agenda, thanks to a truce from moderates and liberals brokered to advance more than $2 trillion in party priorities.
In the end, Pelosi only lost six Democrats on the infrastructure vote, all progressives. Thirteen Republicans voted in favor, giving Democrats more wiggle room on the floor. “This is going to be a defining moment for us as a Democratic Party. To say, we're going to build trust among each other. I'll tell you it's been exhausting to hear all the different efforts to come together,” said Rep. Brenda Lawrence .
Jayapal later addressed reporters outside on a wintry night alongside her opposite number of sorts, centrist leader Rep. Josh Gottheimer , professing that the Friday night votes are “codifying that promise that our colleagues have made to us tonight. And let me tell you, we're going to trust each other, because the Democratic Party is together on this.”
No, , no matter who says it, no matter how often, the investment bills are not 'spending' bills. That is the R framing. These are broad, deep investments in the US & The People, with returns in $ and lives greater than any legitimate private business. TruthBrigade
Every damned Blue Dog Dino MUST be primaried by a Real Democrat!
Yeah, that'll do it.
That's an excess of trust, not an erosion of it.
Arizona and West Virginia this not a good trait for a senator.
I knew they were going to vote yes for this horrendous bill. Can’t wait for 2022 and you all get fired or arrested. You didn’t listen to the American people so hopefully you get what you deserve.
The Squad Sucks !
Of course Politico would write this.
To my mind, a triumph of compromise over authoritarian rule. Working out the details for an extraordinary package that too few Republicans are willing to support. So Dems beat on, boats against the toxic current, looking to the future.
That’s worth nothing.
She said it herself
Another story by Politofox.
The reporting doesn’t go with the headline. Do better Politico
The oath of office used to mean doing the right thing was more important to you than your career. That social accountability and truth counted. Help America NOT the GOP
Was a similar request made of each legislator when they past tax cuts?
“Infrastructure Bill Stalled Until Someone Can Look Up What Number Comes After Trillion.”-The Babylon Bee
I thought clusterfuck meant a bad thing, not passing an infrastructure bill Trump couldn't and McConnell wouldn't let Obama pass
Always can count on Politico to focus on the negative.
The red wave is gaining strength with one Biden crisis after another. Republicans are the red wave. Trump is MAGA. Take notice Democrats! The red wave is even more of a force to reckon with than MAGA.
Those sources being, as always, Pramila.
it's the Manchin/Sinema effect....make a statement, then move the goal posts
Man, just can’t acknowledge an extraordinary accomplishment, huh? Or just disappointed it’s not another tax cut for the wealthiest 1%?
So Pelosi signed off on infrastructure bill with only on a contingent basis in the House and nothing from Mansinema. Sounds like she folded her card when she had full house.
Jayapal is about to learn that promises don't mean squat.
Time for Ds to split and Rs to split. Four party system….much healthier!
No one trusts Jayapal.
Politico is trying so hard to portray the Dems as chaotic. They are owned by a right wing investor now. And it shows.
Jayapal should go back to India if she likes socialism. Oh wait a minute, Indiaans abandoned socialism when they found out it didn't work.
Trust isn't Eroded. Manchin and Sinema are Corrupt
Democrats keep on winning in spite of how hard Republicans and foreign news outlets like FOX and Politico fight it
😂 good one. I can't say I'm following this situation as well as I'd like. But the entire thing smells like elite bullshit. And we all know it.

The corporate dems reneged on the deal that they agreed to months ago.
Countdown to them not voting for it.
Not sure I get this. What's the point of pushing for cost estimates if you've already committed to vote for the bill.
Give me a break
Dems pass historic infrastructure. Politico...DEMS CANT DO ANYTHING
Slow news day?
This is a real tweet?
Eye contact a sign of eroding trust among pols? Do better, politico.
They won't vote for it because they will deem the 'cost' from the cost estimate as too high.
Have the centrists tried earning that trust
I mean, she's trusting them
Write the story about how Trump never got a infrastructure package passed when he had a trifecta. I’ll wait.
