Senator Ed Markey says Democrats need “almost unbreakable guarantees” from members to get both a bipartisan infrastructure bill and a reconciliation bill through the Senate. A bipartisan group of Senate negotiators reached an agreement on an infrastructure bill, as Democrats announce plans to vote on a reconciliation bill to cover the rest of their priorities – including green energy and childcare – in July.

Did he actually say unbreakable guarantees? Lmao!! Is he f-ing nuts?
This guy is blindly naive if he thinks republicans will agree to the first package, since the dems have now said they will ignore the Repubs in the second bill.
@888strummer Why? what is the point of Republicans not at least voting for the first bill if they really believe in investing in infrastructure. They’ve been talking about waiting to pass an infrastructure bill for years. You think they care more about being anti-biden than doing their jobs?
Lol they’ll fail-
The same way they pulled off a “voter rights” bill LMAO
We’d have it passed already if repubs didn’t filibuster it. But the idea of voting rights is anathema to republicans so of course they would not want it to pass. The idea of Americans freely voting without suppression is something that republicans don’t want to happen.l
@MIchael H you are clearly as ignorant as you sound. There is zero and I mean zero voter suppression in any of the red states laws. I’m sorry but ballot isn’t illegal in many states because it lends to corruption where a ballot can easily be thrown away by the collector or that person can influence the voter or intimidate. As well don’t get me start of voter ID, there isn’t a single legal voting age and legal citizen who can get an ID or already has one. I’m sorry the illegals and dead people can’t vote democrats in again but bribe man Biden and clueless Harris are doing an amazing job for the republicans. Both the house and senate will easily flip
The United States will be gone before these criminals get to anything for us.
@Idorandomstuff quit whining Jesus get your Binky & go night night
@Wanda Gray mad mad mad mad mad mad maddddd, go get cosmo for me wanda he’s gonna wanna see u seethe and cope in this thread
@Idorandomstuff you need help & you probably won’t get it. Sad
@Wanda Gray is what a mad person would say
@Idorandomstuff does your mommy know you got out of your crib?
Everyone knows bipartisan to this Administration is simply a low hurdle. If an agreement isn’t reached it’ll be passed in the middle if the night, clumped in with every Democrat preference.
Boy talk about stuttering and muttering
A laugh track?
What are we a bunch of puppets to you?
I’m already turning my Dollars into Renminbi
Silver and gold will work better
@Major Payne in many ways yes, but you can’t buy Chinese stocks with gold
Where’s another stimulus check? Fill their own pockets and leave us desolate, ridiculous!!!…and yes I have a job!!!
Really? And you are a perfect example of the common ignorance of the American people if you think those “stimulus checks” are/were actually free…the money had to come from somewhere and will continue to have to come from somewhere and odds are it will be a tax hike
@richard grace where did the money come from when they was giving Big company trillions of dollars 🤔🤔
@Ranrrip Rich same place everything else comes from… loans from China (which will have to be paid back via taxes or other means) and taxes…. everything the government (gives) comes from the same places the government doesn’t have any actual money of its own

23👍 to 75 👎. Sounds like they know something about you.
Key words, “almost unbreakable “!
Magically…a building just fell down! 🙄 proves we need infrastructure 🤔
Wtf I got so drunk last night I was watching a infrastructure bill?🤔😂
Now that everyone in the committee has a shell company in place to receive infrastructure money we can move forward with the bill
I LOVE this plan, seems perfectly feasible to me, you have a bunch of politicians playing hardball on both sides for conservative agendas so why not put a stipulation like this into place, GET IT DONE DEMS 👍
Yay, progressives are starting to negotiate smart. this gives me a little bit of hope.
All the single folks in low income brackets will REMEMBER Biden’s broken promise. He is going to regret it in 2022 and 2024! A promise is a promise and we promise to remember.
Hold hostage. Interesting strategy. Don’t see how anyone can agree with this strategy.
While looking at the inflation that has happened in the last 2 years, we are wanting to throw out another 6 trillion dollars? wtf. Hello homeless, hello crime.
