Merrick Garland is having his confirmation blocked by the GOP, who still control the committees because reasons

Rules weren't finalized, apparently that changes this week.

somehow missed it but Dems lining up reconciliation for the $1.9 trillion stimulus package, passed the vote 50-49 to set the wheels in motion today

Who didn't vote?

Pat Toomey, absent, dunno why. he had publicly criticized the much cheaper Republican compromise as too expensive so was an assured no vote had he been around.

It wasn't a vote, just a vote for a vote. Now Republicans know they can do it without them so it's their call if they actually want to negotiate on good faith or not.

Good on Democrats though if they're not going to let the same thing that happened to the ACA happen here. They can be taught.

We got our own Susan Collins. He will furrow his brow and complain but vote for the bills.

He's more like if Susan Collins was the Republican Senator from Washington state.

I'm glad to hear that Biden said what we're all thinking... That 9 months of wasting time just for them to still say no is stupid as fuck. No more bad faith negotiations.

Find another identical sample and tell them Republicans made that plan and it'll probably go up to like 80%+ approval.

Liz Cheney keeps her speaker seat after a vote by Republicans via secret ballots. They will vote for (relative) sanity when their name isn't on the vote but not when their identifiable. Are you guys ready for the fucking insanity that is going to be next week Tuesday's Senate trial? How am I supposed to go to work and focus with this going on.

[Tymon]

By insanity you mean a bunch of blustering, probably a dozen or so soundbytes and then a partisan vote that acquits him?
