Senate Dems vote to do COVID relief via reconciliation. No Repubs on board.

I like this. It would have been foolish to compromise or even try to.

Thank you Georgia voters. Without Warnock and Ossof we don't have this, or much of anything except exec orders.

I couldn’t agree more nor be happier but totally surprised. Go Stacey!

I love Mitch on TV whining that the bill was totally partisan and the Democrats were not playing fair. Does he think nobody can remember the last four years? I'm so tired of the BS the GOP slings around.

So now any credit or criticism is exclusively theirs, like "what happened to the $2,000 checks you promised"?

This is good. Republicans were so far off the mark on this. Every credible economist said there’s far danger not doing enough than too little.

Hope someone - at some point - publicly reminds these Repug whiners that Elections have consequences…

That illuminates a real problem, for many of these office holders, there are no actual political consequences - sortta` like the shooting someone in Times Square thing.

That’s why Moscow Mitch is complaining, he wants to have the economy tank so Pres. Biden and the Democrats look bad. The Democrats better throw everything they can into this bill that they want to see passed this term.
