Is this gon pass?

[archibaldcrane]

I expect lowering the Medicare age, immigration stuff and Medicare drug negotiations to be cut from the final bill.

[archibaldcrane]

Is this gon pass?

Most of it, probably

[kuronosan]

I'm sad if those Medicare changes get cut. I certainly agree they're likely to be discarded.

Watching the roll call now and I cringed when they said Tuberville. I forgot he is somehow now in the senate...

Also fingers ready on all my stock stuff related to this in case it doesn't go through.

Biden's $1.2T infrastructure deal has passed the Senate, will now go to the House.

Biden getting a lot of shit done, which is good since he'll only get about another 18 months before he spends the remainder of his Presidency vetoing inane performatory shit from the Republican majorities.

Yeah we should end the filibuster there's no way they'll get control of all 3 houses again.

That is correct. Because there are only 2 houses.

Call me optimistic, but I have a feeling all these anti voting laws quickly getting passed is going to actually mobilize democrats in those states and will retain control.

LOL

Passes the Senate 69-30, now to the House. The Senate is now going to do a vote-a-rama on amendments to the reconciliation bill, which will begin the process of hashing that bigger 3.5T bill out with all the good shit. The House claims they aren't going to take up the bill that just passed until the reconciliation bill passes the Senate.

[Melena]

Well, remember, most here thought there was no way Georgia was flipping, and we saw how that went. Same with Arizona at least for the President. A lot can also change in 2 years, so all we can do is sit and wait while we watch the world burn.

Just switched my insurance to a "Silver 94" plan, which is by far the most generous insurance I've ever had, and since I was on unemployment earlier this year it's only costing me $5/mo ($1/mo for each member of my family) for the rest of the year.

If you get insurance through the exchanges and you were on unemployment for any part of this year, call up your exchange, update your info, and get your extremely good, basically free insurance ASAP.

Thanks, Biden.

[Cantih]

Ok, but what about after this year?
