Hi friends!
I’m going to try a little something new below. First is brief news heads-up. Okay, I couldn’t resist just one joke. Next, you’ll find highlights in the news, rather than just one. And how about a little peace at the end?
Heads-Up
Sen. Grim Reaper McConnell refused all the below. What to watch for today:
Bill to suspend the federal debt ceiling through December 2022 - Passed.
Bill to pass the spending bill.
Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) Kyrsten Sinema (D-WV) blocking the human infrastructure bill. House Dems do not trust them enough to past the smaller one. Wisely.
Smaller bipartisan infrastructure bill.
President Biden’s Build Back Better Bill. Human infrastructure bill.

Liz Cheney’s Fundraising Totals Skyrocket Amongst Trump Attacks
Since the January 6 attempted coup, a number of heroes have emerged. We know the Capitol Police literally saved our democracy and suffered for it. Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) is also one of those heroes. She has been looking toward what is next. And that something might be big, very big.
With a steely spine, she called out the former president on his Big Lie. In spite of the danger to herself, she agreed not only to sit on the January 6 Select Committee but to be its vice-chair. After her three terms in the House, she said, according to CNN:
‘[SHE WOULD DO] WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PREVENT TRUMP FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT AGAIN. AND SHE HAS NOT CLOSED THE DOOR ON RUNNING FOR THE WHITE HOUSE HERSELF.’

Sinema Faces No-Confidence Vote In AZ After Betraying Dems
Why do Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) continue to hold out against voting for President Joe Biden’s cornerstone legislation, the Build Back Better reconciliation bill? We learned that coal handed Manchin over half a million dollars last year as reported by The New York Times, and even more significant, big pharma lined Sinema’s coffer with $750,000, The Salon wrote. Oh. Well, paybacks are hell.
Saturday, the Arizona Democratic Party passed a resolution. It guaranteed a no-confidence vote against Sinema should she not back filibuster reforms or vote against President Biden’s Build Back Better reconciliation bill.

Schiff Puts McConnell On Public Notice For Causing Gov’t Shutdown
Old unscrupulous Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has made a second-rate political gamble. His headless nihilistic Senate party has gone crashing through the night trying to terrorize the country. He gambled the entire nation’s credit rating and an entire world recession to make the Democrats look bad. Not only did hold his Senate hold firm with no votes on a bill to increase the country’s debt limit. He filibustered it. Why?
Grim said that he thought that the country’s debt limit should be passed. But he blocked the Democrats’ vote to avoid a government shutdown on Monday saying that it was the other party’s job to handle it. That forced a filibuster 60-vote which Grim plans to guarantee will not pass.
Make no mistake about it, this bill was to cover both Donald Trump’s Senate-approved expenses and President Joe Biden COVID-19 expenses.
