Manchin says that he has 6 fellow Democrats on board to kill Biden's infrastructure bill as it is currently written. I'd be very surprised to learn that the Delaware Senate delegation isn't on board.

Florida is the floor of the American septic tank. Most of America's shit a great many of its shitty people (wealthy and impoverished) sink effortlessly into Florida. So in today's Open Thread, join me in a hearty "Fuck You" to Florida.

Spring at last, Spring at last, thank God Almighty...its Spring at last. In today's OpenThread: Chauvin is guilty as fuck, but will it matter? Florida is a literal shit hole.  Madison Cawthorn is just one of many Republicans voting no on stimulus, but pretending to be stimulus hero in their districts. Unopened Super Mario Bros. game from 1986 sells for $660,000. Are we entering a ‘fourth wave’ of the pandemic? But first, lost of news about America's least favorite near monopoly. 

It's one thing to share a country with dead-end losers who have turned a political party into a death cult. It's something else entirely when that death cult insists on…

Economists and Americans love it, but Carlson urges Fox viewers to not be deceived. Biden's infrastructure plan is actually pro-science, anti-white supremacy wolf in sheep's clothing.

“First and most obviously, is this really about infrastructure -- bridges, roads, airports, things we can actually use -- or is it yet another weird climate scheme-slash-power grab-slash-race-based redistribution plan,” the Fox host asked. “What exactly is this?”

I stumbled across a headline today that quoted some random conservative complaining that "maybe if we canceled sports, then they'd respect us." I hear this all the time: The reason…

Plant That Screwed Up Vaccine Got Huge Grant From Operation Warp Speed.  Despite a record of previous mix-ups and violations.  Maybe this was part of the reason for the big…

Odd strategy. McConnell says no republicans will support Biden infrastructure plan, even before Collins, Coons and Murkowski could do their usual posturing and preening.

Filed under: Tango, It Takes 2 Butina sentence to 18 months, but Coons is still free as a bird.

Joe Biden has proposed a $2 trillion infrastructure plan. Vox has a good explainer outlining what it does and how Democrats hope to pass it. Politico notes it has set…

Bernie is happy about the fact that the Democratic Party has adopted his policies. (FTR - Economists are also happy)

Q: Let’s say I’m someone on the left who supported you in 2020. I’m looking at the American Rescue Plan and I see the $15 minimum wage got dropped, paid family leave got dropped. The child tax credit, which is my favorite part of the bill, it’s only temporary. Convince me that I should be excited about this. Why do you think it’s so significant? Bernie: I don’t have to convince you. We have already convinced 75 percent of the American people that this is a very good piece of legislation. And I think progressives...
