If he wants to pressure someone, let him pressure McConnell.

So tired of people expecting Pelosi to perform miracles and criticizing her when she doesn't while giving a pass to the people actually causing the problem.

She's kinda got her hands full at the moment. How bout ask for a meeting with her to negotiate his plans. She'll always grant the time for suggestions to improve the quality of public policy.

Showboating isn't Pelosi's professional method of getting policy to move forward.

I thought more of Yang than this.
It's disappointing.

But passing a bad Bill takes away our Leverage then nothing happens till January. Funding needs to go to the states or else they'll be massive layoffs. I liking he's got a lot of good ideas but politics is not his thing

They are what either moves it forward or stalls it.

She's not playing their game of moving the target to benefit themselves either.

enhanced unemployment since July 31. That means they have been getting $200 - $300 a week on average from their states. Not enough. The GOPers have compromised a good bit, for them. We can always come back for more later.

It was bugging me..and he acts as if Pelosi should apparently believe that a deal Trump puts on the table is legit.

If Trump put a deal on the table more than one hour ago, it's no longer there.

"Mansplaining" is an uncalled-for term.
