ColinC's JournalBiden:Opportunity for big spending on infrastructure
https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2021-03-31/biden-seeing-opportunity-calls-for-big-spending-on-infrastructureThe proposal represents Biden’s long-anticipated attempt to make progress on an issue — the state of the nation’s public works — that has languished for years despite bipartisan consensus that improvements are needed.
“The urgency and need for action has been identified again and again in Washington, and we now have an opportunity to really do something about it,” said an administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity before Wednesday’s announcement.

Manchin: "I'm still at 60"
"No, I'm still at 60. OK?" he said.

So like, 60 Senators required to sustain a fillibuster? I am most likely wrong here, but it almost sounds like that's what he is saying.
His globetrotting""let's do this, I'm open to this" and "no!!" Responses leave a lot of room for fantastical interpretations.
Have you been vaccinated yet?
We just received our first shot this afternoon of pfizer. Second is scheduled. For those having trouble making appointments: we called into albertsons and they sent us a special link to schedule -while on their websites, no appointments were available.
Should Ron Johnson resign?
Given how much of a royal f-up he has been the entire time in the senate?
Do you think Donald Trump will be indicted?
I get he's a rich and powerful man and all, but I really do think that he's tested the limits of impropriety that even somebody like him wouldn't be able to get away with -which means I do think he will be indicted relatively soon. What say you?
Manchin Drops more hints on how he would reform the fillibuster
If the minority party wants to obstruct, make them work for it! Starting to not feel as bad about this Manchin fellow.

DU Presidential Approval Poll
Do you approve or disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as President?
My pledge to work my ass off in the next midterm elections.
Look I know this is super early, but while the democrats are shorthanded, they are dedicated to improving the lives of people as much as possible. We absolutely need as many more seats in the House and Senate as possible in the next election to fulfill our agenda -likely ending the fillibuster, reforming our courts, protecting the right to vote, etc. We will not be able to do this as easily without more Democratic members in our caucus. I pledge to knock on doors, make phone calls and donate as much as physically possible in order to secure Biden's bold agenda for the rest of his term.
Who's with me??
So let me get this straight
Moderate Dems are very concerned about people getting paid more by unemployment than their actual jobs(thus pushing for lower ui payments), but just voted against people getting paid more in their actual jobs.
