Quick note on the Senate vote today. I have already seen false statements about it on twitter:1) The Senate did not vote to pass the Reconciliation Bill - Bill #2. It was a procedural vote - only. They voted only to allow debate and discussion on the floor. That is all.I noticed several articles on conservative sites with false, or at best misleading, headlines.Again - the Bill did not pass.1/2

2) Manchin's statement confirmed what I have been posting for a few weeks.He will not vote for the Bill in its current form. His statement today was the clearest statement of opposition I have seen yet.Again - he did not vote to pass the Bill. The Senate voted on procedure only.2/3

3) Floor debate on the Bill will not begin for several weeks. Senate is going into recess now.4) In September, the Bill has to be debated. Then a Senate vote. Then, if it passes, it goes to the House.The Office of the Senate Parliamentarian has to approve everything in Bill #2, line by line.3/4

5) Senator Sinema has already announced her opposition to Bill #2 in its current form.Mark Kelly, AZ, is up for reelection next year. He has also expressed serious misgivings with the Bill.Congress will be home, hearing from constituents. 4) In the House, there are serious problems for both Bill #1 - Infrastructure - and Bill #2 - Reconciliation.4/5

5) Significant development in the House - Jake Ellzey, the winner of the TX #6 Special, has been sworn in to Congress.Very important for the Bills in question:This means that the Dems' control of the House is down to a margin of three.That is, the Democrats cannot lose more than three votes in the House and successfully pass a Bill.This is one of the smallest margins in history5/6

6) Important to keep in mind:Pelosi has to balance the extreme, radicalized energized leftist squad on one hand, with the increasingly worried and nervous 'moderates' on the other. The squad are even more ambitious with the addition of Cori Bush.Both sides of the Democrat House divide have stated openly they have enough votes to crush both Senate Bills.6/7

@timr Apparently we have plenty of Republicans to help them out.Even when Republicans hold full control the Dems run the field on them.

7) Finally, the focus will now be on the House. Republicans are not supporting the Dems there at all. Nothing more can happen until Congress return from recess.So - again - no Bill has been passed into Law.Back to work.Signing off until later. Over and out

@timr Exactly. And so many people are ready to impale him for this procedural vote. I'm not. It was a calculated vote to move things to discussion.Does NOT mean he's in favor of the Bill. In point of fact, and in its current form, he is not.

@timr I’m not at all sure what you are talking about. Fir reconciliation to work, the Senate and House must pass a budget reduction. The Senate passed the budget resolution this morning on 50-49. This is NOT reconciliation. Then the House must pass the same resolution. Then we go to bill #2: reconciliation. Without a budget resolution, there is no mechanism for reconciliation.

@timr Real Americans would have seen this trainwreck rolling & voted to end trillions if dollars we do not have for infrastructure allocations already passed & wasted while Zero was Prez. These are destructors to our Republic. Try to spend more than you have personally.

@Kegstr Correct. Bill #1, the Infrastructure Bill, has not been passed into law. No Bill has been made Law.The media promote confusion. They refer to a Bill passing one step in the process as if the Bill has been passed into law. They get readers as they stir up fear and anxiety, while not telling the whole truth1/2

@Kegstr That vote was in the Senate only. Now it has been thrown into the roiling waters of the House. They are now in recessAnother main reason why there is confusion about all of this is that the media - left and right - publish headlines saying "Bill Has Passed", often followed by hysterical apocalyptic prediction of doom.2/2
