Progressive Caucus chair wants Senate to vote on reconciliation before House votes on infrastructure
By Naomi Jagoda - 10/01/21 11:25 AM EDT

Rep. Pramilia Jayapal (D-Wash.), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told reporters prior to a meeting of House Democrats Friday that she still would prefer a Senate vote on a reconciliation bill before the House votes on the bipartisan infrastructure measure.

Democratic leaders and the White House have been holding discussions with two key Senate centrists, Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), in an effort to agree on a framework for the reconciliation bill.

But Jayapal signaled that an agreement on a reconciliation framework might not be enough for her to want to vote for the infrastructure bill.

Uh, no.  Jayapal, that's not how it works.  To get things done, you need to play well with others, not mug them for lunch money.

Mugging is all she knows.  It's all any of the Progs know.

Meanwhile, Kyrsten Sinema has broken off all talks with the wackos by virtue of having left DeeCee for the weekend.  Nice work, bullies.  Now you have two absent Dem Senators, bringing you down to 46 Senators available to vote.  The more you try to force Senators to do your bidding, the more slip through your fingers.

All she has to do is talk to schumer......
