.@RepJayapal reiterates progressives won't support BIF without economic bill SAME DAAY: "I don't care as long as they're moving on the same day, if we need to vote on BIF first and three hours later, we're gonna vote on the reconciliation bill. That's okay."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal told me this when asked if Biden could change her position against voting down the infrastructure bill if it comes for a vote tomorrow. “I don’t think so.” She wants the larger bill to move in tandem with infrastructure. The big bill has not been drafted

Jayapal added this: “I don’t think the Speaker has ever brought a bill to the floor that doesn’t have the votes, and right now there are over 3 dozen members, and that number is only increasing, who feel very strongly that these two bills need to move together.”

Just a few days ago my right eye swelled shut. Yesterday my lip was swelled up. Today my left eye is starting to swell shut and I got a horrible rash that came out around my nose. I have no idea what’s going on but my only change is testing positive for covid.
