The Senate on Thursday defeated a Republican amendment seeking to block President Biden's vaccine-or-test mandate for businesses with 100 or more workers.

Republicans and Democrats were split down the middle on the vote, 50-50 in the upper chamber, falling short of the 60 votes needed to pass the measure.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) offered the measure, which would block the use of federal funds for vaccine mandates. It came during a series of votes on amendments to a stop-gap government funding measure.

Biden announced earlier this month that his Department of Labor would put forward a regulation requiring that businesses with 100 or more employees mandate employees are vaccinated, or get tested once per week.

1. the fascists are monsters, they have no business being a part of our political establishment. nt

3. the Death Cult 45 rolls along, undeterred by science or rational thought. Bought, paid for

and mostly intimidated into total blind submission. Liked whipped puppies. Cowards, con-men (and women) and downright sociopathic for supporting this crap in a pandemic and an attempted overthrow of the government (dare we call it a COUP MSM??). Thank you Dems for defeating this latest attempt.

4. I'm embarrassed to say that Roger Marshall represents me

Hopefully we can get rid of Jerry Moran in the midterms. Noticed Jerry has been missing a lot of votes lately,
I wonder why.

5. The GOPs ONLY goal is to undermine the Biden presidency. That's what our tax dollars are paying for.

6. And to secure more donations for themselves. It's a racketeering crowd; their oath taking is a joke.

7. yes it is shocking. Not 1 of those cowardly pukes

voted for saving lives.

8. Still think Romney and Murkowski are any good?

[Chellee]

9. Exactly.

To all those people that praise them on the rare, no, not even rare, the ONE time they acted decently. "See! Deep down, in their heart of hearts, they must be really good people!"

No. No they're not. That goodness? That was the anomaly. This is who they are.

10. remember what mitt said about 47% of the country

I have and it's why I think he sucks and always will

11. And you can add Teabagger Toomey to that list

because his name gets trotted out frequently.

As it is, he voted against the C.R. that passed yesterday - even when 15 of his (R) colleagues voted FOR it. And fucking Toomey is coming from a state where several counties, including MINE (Philly) were declared DISASTER AREAS due to the flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Ida as well as for severe damage to homes and businesses after several tornadoes (including 2 EF2s - one about 5 miles from where I live) that spun up when those remnants came through. So money in that C.R. was not just to keep the government open but was also being designated for disaster aid.

12. Lest we forget, the defeated Kansas Senate candidate was a trained physician

In a year of a deadly pandemic, Kansas voters defeated Barbara Bollier, a trained physician, to elect a proud ignoramus like Roger Marshall. Despite Bollier’s relative conservatism (She was a former Republican), I don’t doubt that this decision had deadly consequences for some Kansans.
