So POTUS is going to the Hill in a bit and then delivering East Room remarks before heading to Rome.

What I gather is that POTUS is insisting he has a framework that Manchinema totally swearsies pinky promise they won't blow up but House Progressives don't trust them, at all, and Bernie is encouraging them not to blink until there's text

I am absolutely incensed that paid family leave has been removed from the bill.

It too bad that we have to focus on just the two Senators to get as much passed, but would any effort or pressure on the GOP Senators amount to anything?
I was so hopeful for future parents and the paid family leave plan. I work for a place with good benefits, but my time off after birth was 2 weeks paid by company from extended leave time, 4 weeks paid at 60% short term disability, and 4 weeks of my saved PTO. I wish I had done more to have more time than that looking back.
I love to read about how other countries handle leave for parents instead of everyone fend for yourself like the US.

Pressure on the gop for popular provisions like soc security increased coverage might maybe get 1 or 2 of them to vote yes. And then we could stuff our 2 butheads in a trash can. Of course we barely have any normal not brainwashed gop.

Historically speaking, it will be better for Republican seats than Democrats. Obviously, a lot of things could change dramatically, but I think the economy (taxes)/crime/schools are going to continue to be a huge focus. And if inflation stays up, all bets are off. I don't know that the Fed can manage it soon or well enough to make it a positive point for Democrats in general. I'm really hoping transitory inflation is indeed what's happening, but....

Lol is it to make super rich people feel like they are doing their patriotic duty to pay taxes? Make them feel better about taking their money? It is just so ludicrous that it is laughable (and also so stupid). I don't get it. Some of these people are so fucking rich they literally couldn't spend all their money even if they tried their damnedest. It's not like paying their taxes will have them go for broke. Like WTF. And here's the thing: the way velocity of money works means that if they paid a bunch of taxes, their net worth would go UP due to economic boom. It's infuriating.
