riversedge's JournalAri said Joe Manchin left his meeting with Biden and was bragging he did not give Biden a number....
[a number other than 3.5 trillion that Biden wants on his bill].
I can see Manchin or any other Dem doing this to a Repug Pres, but not to our Dem Pres. damn-just give Biden a number so Dems can get the frigging bill passed.

As daughter sought state license, Noem summoned agency head

By STEPHEN GROVES today
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Just days after a South Dakota agency moved to deny her daughter’s application to become a certified real estate appraiser, Gov. Kristi Noem summoned to her office the state employee who ran the agency, the woman’s direct supervisor and the state labor secretary.
Noem’s daughter attended too.
Kassidy Peters, then 26, ultimately obtained the certification in November 2020, four months after the meeting at her mother’s office. A week after that, the labor secretary called the agency head, Sherry Bren, to demand her retirement, according to an age discrimination complaint Bren filed against the department. Bren, 70, ultimately left her job this past March after the state paid her $200,000 to withdraw the complaint.
Exactly what transpired at the July 27, 2020, meeting in the governor’s office isn’t clear. Noem declined an interview request and her office declined to answer detailed questions about the meeting. ............................

Katie Porter Calls Out the Real Reason Joe Manchin Wants to Cut Cost of $3.5 Trillion Infrastructure Bill

Porter put the pressure on Manchin in a recent interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruehl.
Watch below.
Porter pointed out that, rather than lowering the price tag at the expense of lifesaving features of the bill, it could be paid for with sensible revenue measures like greater IRS enforcement and expanded taxes on corporations.
She then suggested the actual motive for Manchin's opposition:
"I have the will to do it. The question is does Senator Manchin, or is he more concerned about his corporate donors, including large corporations, the oil and gas industry, the big pharmaceutical industry, and others who are getting away with paying nothing under our current tax system?"

It's no secret that Manchin has heavy financial support from those representing fossil fuel interests. Natural gas company Tellurian is one of Manchin's top donors, to name one................................

‘Very scared’ state workers threatened with demotions for complaining about Ron DeSantis’ COVID policies: report
John Wright September 27, 2021
.....................................
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' "efforts to keep Florida open" have had devastating impacts on state agencies — with entire offices closing due to outbreaks, and three state prisons shuttering due to a lack of corrections officers, the newspaper reported Monday.
"The workers are very scared," said Vicki Hall, president of a union that represents nearly half of Florida's 105,000 state employees. "The governor wants everything open and running. ... Management is not taking it seriously."
DeSantis' administration ordered state workers to return to their offices last October, with social distancing and masks optional.
One Department of Revenue employee complained recently that, "They don't tell us when people have been in the building sick. We have to hear through the grapevine that someone is in the hospital or dead. If we complain, we are offered demotions."
Democratic state Sen. Loranne Ausley told the newspaper, "Many state employees live in fear of making any noise. They call us and don't even say what agency they're calling from."...................................

@SenatorTimScott
is a liar and @LeaderMcConnell
's puppet.
His proposed police "reform" was a joke.
Among other things, it allowed police to still choke people to death without any consequences.
Now he wants to blame Democrats.
Hey Tim, sell your bullshit elsewhere. Sellout.
