I don’t. I don’t respect Republicans at all. Those six were carefully counted and they did send a message with their vote. It passed. We’re fine.

Good job Speaker Pelosi!!

Happy weekend for team Biden.

I have a lot more respect for the 13 Republicans that I do those 6 Democrats.

No, that’s the other bill. The House just passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill that the Senate passed months ago. Biden could sign it tonight as is.

Yep. He held off his trip to Rehoboth to sign it as soon as tomorrow in the White House.

To the great news PP - the other bill is the BBB. This is the BIF that just passed. Roads, bridges, tunnels and the like. The social welfare bill has almost zero chance of making it out alive.

Woot. Biden did it. And he got us out of Afghanistan. I look forward to all the good work on physical infrastructure this bill will do.
