The Progs are going for Medicare expansion. If the GOP goes for this it will be forever. So they will only count the cost up to 5 years and the lifetime cost will be hidden. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1447988256931467272?s=20

Bernie Sanders says Medicare expansion must be included in Dems’ bill: “This to me is not negotiable.” Pramila Jayapal says House progressive caucus agrees

As the mega-bill shrinks, @RepJayapal says the CPC still sees it as linked to infra. "It's really important that we understand the thin margins in the House and Senate do mean that all of us have to be on board. That is still our position: the two move together…

Jayapal on the $3.5 trillion social safety net package: “If we have to cut the numbers slightly, then we would reduce the number of years because the universality of benefits, and the immediacy of benefits, are absolutely critical”
The only way the Progs will lower the cost is by lowering the years. So really the costs are the same per year and the Progs are expecting the programs to last forever. We can not allow any Commie programs in the bill at all. NO CLIMATE CHANGE BS https://twitter.com/MariannaReports/status/1447987848225988609?s=20

the overwhelming message from progressives is that the idea mentioned in Pelosi's note last night -- cutting programs entirely, rather than scaling all of them back -- ain't gonna fly. "We’re not going to put child care against climate change," Jayapal says…

Manchin and Siniema have already stated that Climate change programs will not fly. And Manchin said he will not go for expanding the welfare state and ennoscriptments. Progs are going to be rioting. https://twitter.com/josephzeballos/status/1447982811747700744?s=20

The story is behind a paywall because this story is so shocking that it could only be told through a 5,000 word long, resource-intensive magazine-style piece, but I think it's worth subscribing to @realDailyWire for. Here is more of the top of the story.

So the port guy could be right. They are pumping goods into warehouses and the truck drivers cant pick up loads without vaccine passport in California. So stuff is piling up in warehouses.
Today there are 528 rigs pumping oil. There where 1050 rigs pumping in 2019. Bidens build back better? Nah
Biden has effectively abolished ICE by memorandum. They can’t arrest illegal workers, they can’t remove most criminals, and the overwhelming majority of all illegal immigrants have been immunized from any legal consequences whatsoever. It’s a thunderous assault on our Democracy.
As the @DCCC *loves* to remind everyone:
Committee Chairmen don’t retire unless they know they’re about to lose their Majorities next year.
