My tolerance for congressional drama is pretty high, but it's been an unusually exasperating day - and it didn't have to be. (1/7)
The hope was that Dems might be able to pass both the Senate's bipartisan infrastructure bill (#BIF) and the Build Back Better (#BBB) package today. A triumph for everyone! But... (2/7)
A small group of moderates - just big enough to dictate the outcome - said they wouldn't allow a vote on the White House's domestic agenda without a CBO score. (3/7)
