Joe Manchin is opposing big parts of Biden's agenda as the Koch network pressures him
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/08/joe-manchin-is-opposing-big-parts-of-bidens-agenda-as-the-koch-network-pressures-him.htmlThe Koch network has been actively pressuring Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin to oppose key legislative items linked to Bidens agenda, including filibuster reform and voting rights legislation.
The lobbying effort appears to be paying off. Manchin, in a recent op-ed, wrote that he opposed eliminating the filibuster and that he would not vote for the For the People Act.
The Koch network specifically calls on its grassroots supporters to push Manchin, a conservative Democrat, to be against some of his partys legislative priorities.
Give me your tired, your poor...
Eugene Robinson: Joe Manchin retreats to fantasyland and sticks America with the consequences

Tonight on CNN:
I would say to Senator Manchin, youve told us what youre for and against. How about put forth the legislation that you would like to see passed? Let us see your bill on voting rights and preserving the integrity of our democracy. We are playing a very dangerous game here. If I had not studied history all of my life, maybe I wouldnt be thinking the way I think, and not feeling the way I feel. The fact the matter is the greatest empires in the world came down because of decadence, and a lot of avoidance of issues. Its a whole theory that Nero played his fiddle as Rome burned. But what we have is a modern day fiddling around in the Senate and this democracy is on fire.
If Joe Manchin had been alive during D-Day
his position would have been Storming the beaches is too partisan, lets ask nicely and Im sure the Nazis will cooperate and give France back.
Talk about totally blowing a softball question!

And to those who just read the tweet and didn't watch the video. Yang brought up that he listened to Jay Z, and then couldn't name a single Jay Z song.
AOC vs MTG
From the Washington Post:
Rep. Greene aggressively confronts Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, causing New York congresswoman to raise security concernshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/greene-ocasio-cortez/2021/05/12/fd61d664-b37e-11eb-a3b5-f994536fe84a_story.html
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday and falsely accused her of supporting terrorists, leading the New York congresswomans office to call on leadership to ensure that Congress remains a safe, civil place for all Members and staff.
Two Washington Post reporters witnessed Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) exit the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon ahead of Greene (Ga.), who shouted Hey Alexandria twice in an effort to get her attention. When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a loosely knit group of far-left activists, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them terrorist groups. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her radical socialist beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshman from Georgia.
You dont care about the American people, Greene shouted. Why do you support terrorists and antifa?
Ocasio-Cortez did not stop to answer Greene, only turning around once and throwing her hands in the air in an exasperated motion. The two reporters were not close enough to hear what the New York congresswoman said, and her office declined to discuss her specific response.
Representative Greene tried to begin an argument with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and when Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and called Rep. Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer, Ocasio-Cortez spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said in a statement. We hope leadership and the Sergeant at Arms will take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff especially as many offices are discussing reopening. One Member has already been forced to relocate her office due to Congresswoman Greenes attacks.
