McConnell rips Manchin's proposed "compromise" on voting:
Senate Democrats seem to have reached a so-called compromise election takeover among themselves. In reality, the plan endorsed by Stacey Abrams is no compromise.
At press conference, McConnell singles out Manchin proposals dealing with the FEC, redistricting.
All Republicans will oppose that as well, he says
McConnell now opposes both of Manchins ideas - passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and his compromise on S1

MacKenzie Scott Reveals Another $2.74 Billion in Giving
Ms. Scott was married to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, for 25 years. When they divorced in 2019, her share of the settlement, 4 percent of Amazons stock, was valued at around $36 billion. Despite the huge sums she has given away since then the latest round brings her total to more than $8 billion her wealth has only continued to grow, thanks to Amazons soaring stock price. Forbess most recent estimate of her net worth was roughly $60 billion.
Though Ms. Scott did not list the amount she gave each organization, her blog post included a list of those receiving funds. They included well-known arts groups such as the Apollo Theater and Ballet Hispánico; higher education institutions including schools in the University of California and the University of Texas systems; organizations focused on racial justice, such as Race Forward and Borealis Philanthropy; and groups focused on empowering women and combating domestic violence.
When Ms. Scott promised in 2019 to give until the safe was empty, people had little reason to take her at her word. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett many of the worlds wealthiest have made lofty promises of giving and each is richer now than ever before.
