It's just mind-blowing that we have, politically, entirely adopted the mentality that COVID isn't real, and if it is real, it is only happening to poor people far away (like 12 blocks away in the projects of DC). Like after all the hemming and hawing about Trump rallies Biden is still throwing a weeklong super-spreader because what we all need right now is apparently a big party

if it makes you feel better between military check points, fash orders, anti fash patrols and the running battle between cops, feds, antifash, PBs and Boogs not a lot of people are gonna be moving around DC anyways.

I missed this, Markey seems to be jumping on the monthly 2K check thing. I'll wait with baited breath.

Markey called for Congress to pass his proposal of $2,000 monthly stimulus checks in a statement on Friday.

"The $1,400 in direct cash assistance is a down payment that will help families make rent, put food on the table, and pay the utility bills after Senate Republicans blocked that additional funding back in December," the Democrat said.

"But we must still pass my legislation with Senator Bernie Sanders [of Vermont] to provide $2,000 monthly payments to working people through the duration of the pandemic."

As a pedantic sack of poo poo I'm sympathetic to this argument but there is absolutely no good reason for the next checks to not be $2000. Semantic interpretation of campaign rhetoric should be used to get people in need MORE help, not less.

With budget reconciliation, this Dem Congress only really has 2 or 3 chances to pass meaningful legislation that people can notice in their everyday lives before the midterms next year. Lol, if you use one of them to disappoint your base. Just, lol.

we'll see what happens. Schumer has run the Senate according to a first man amongst equal kinda thing where his priorities are based on what his Senators want to happen. Here's the list off folks heading Cmme chairs at least a couple days ago:

Appropriations — Patrick Leahy, Vermont
Armed Services — Jack Reed, Rhode Island
Banking — Sherrod Brown, Ohio
Budget — Bernie Sanders, Vermont
Finance — Ron Wyden, Oregon
Foreign Relations — Bob Menendez, New Jersey
Health & Education — Patty Murray, Washington
Homeland Security — Gary Peters, Massachusetts
Intelligence — Mark Warner, Virginia
Judiciary — Dick Durbin, Illinois

Earmarks are explicitly back in. These people are gonna want to have their priorities passed, so what it comes down to is this: is Biden as hands off and reverential to a Dem Congress, as he is to a Republican one?

We'll see. Honestly thing Congress will be running things for the next few months based on past exp, esp when it comes to Biden.

Tho Obama came from the Congress and he explicitly put the Dem caucus under his thumb (in like, an incredibly dumb and damaging way). Maybe the Presidency makes you a loving idiot? Again, we'll see.

What about Cam Greeley, who's acting vice chairman of the Committee of the Interior? I wouldn't mind seeing whether he can get some of his agenda passed - my understanding is he is pushing hard for a repeal of the Tamp Act.
