BREAKING: The Senate is now debating the $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Bill!!!

[George II]

The bill has been completed and distributed to the Senators. Not sure when the vote may be, but at 9:00 Eastern they're still at it.

Kukos to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for standing his ground and getting this done over the weekend, "come hell or high water"!

1. Goddamn! It's a lovefest on the Senate floor

[George II]

2. I haven't seen anything like this in the Senate for years. Some great speeches from both sides....

Manchin's is the best in my mind so far. Haven't seen many others.

Love to see it.

I wonder if there will be a vote tonight?

A postscript: positive side light, this is a slap in the face of the orange menace.

3. Yes. I thought TFG must be gnashing his teeth 😁

10. K & R Thank You for posting this!

Even Manchin turns the screws a bit tighter on trump's demise.

5. Watching C Span right now...

Go Chuck, GO!

6. Schumer said there will be no summer break until the vote takes place

He's right

[George II]

7. Update: It's not the actual debate itself, it's just a discussion of the process and plan....

....for the next hours and days.

[George II]

8. And now, of course, Mike Lee appears to be pissing in the punchbowl.

9. If this beast is passed & signed, Schumer, Pelosi & Biden's legacy will be set as gddammed EPIC.

Considering all those willing to sabatoge it just to point the finger of failure at these 3, rather than own their role in it's demise, passage will be on the scale of FDR's New Deal..& forever set in the history books as the greatest thing that saved America & our Democracy.

Sincere good luck Sen Schumer, Spkr Pelosi & VP Harris & President Joeseph R Biden, & our remarkable team of Democrats & their staff.

You all walk with the greats of this country's past.

11. This will be great, but the $3.5T deal is the mother of all

Bills for legacies. This infrastructure bill is going to get him re-elected. The other one will change the country forever for the better.

12. Thank you !! That is some much needed reassurance

"This infrastructure bill is going to get him re-elected. The other one will change the country forever for the better."
