Can we express disgust at the reduction of paid family leave from 12 to 4 weeks? We don’t take PUPPIES from their mama before 8 but it’s ok to make a human leave a month old newborn? I’m so angry at that specifically but furious at the entire thing That was one of the first things I saw they chopped and I was so mad. Like, how do we hate working women so much? And pro family my ass, you can't even send a baby to daycare at 4 weeks old. WTF!?

I thought that one was just Joe Definitely in the past she has come out in favor of an updated VRA, but she won't vote to end the filibuster. Not sure if she thought that was middle ground, but here we are. 🤦♀️ Edit - as recently as June she was writing in the WaPo about it. The filibuster "compels moderation." 🙄 www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/06/21/kyrsten-sinema-filibuster-for-the-people-act/

But I honestly think hes enjoying the spotlight as the 'person to convince' in the party right now too much to leave. He moves to independent or gop and hes back to being less important.

I’m so angry at that specifically but furious at the entire thing Was this a proposed 12 weeks paid down to 4? Little lost, because currently isn’t it actually 0? To get paid I had to zero out my PTO and lean into FLMA for them to not get rid of me. Then once that time was up, they did anyway. Sorry, off topic.

we are the only major industrialized nation globally not to offer PFL. Its a disgrace. Because MOST people in larger companies (that have to FMLA) have to do what you do, save up alllllll your PTO and then take unpaid/or short term disability.

And STD is usually a fraction of your pay and doesn't kick in for weeks. I got 60% pay starting at 6 weeks with the twins. It's not like new parents need a full paycheck. L&D and babies being so cheap and all, right?

I guess I missed that it was actually on the table for these discussions. Both are an embarrassment, though hopefully 4 weeks will get those not on board to see that it is doable and still not enough.

It's always unavoidably sausagey in big bills but this has been fucking ridiculous.

Officer Fanone is with the Brew Caucus at the Anheuser-Busch Congressional Competition. Although the only Republican I see so far is Peter Meijer.
