Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of “GOP Votes NO and Takes the Dough.”

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Let’s get started 🧵 →

First up, @hinsonashley.

Earlier this week, Ashley proudly took a bow and announced $829 million heading to #IA01 for critical locks & dams work.

Only problem? She voted NO on the legislation that made this possible.


Next: Maryland’s only Republican Andy Harris.

Andy announced $50k in federal funding for dredging work in his district that he had absolutely no part in securing.

"They don't have much else to work with policy-wise."

"Other than winning World War II, Dwight Eisenhower doesn't have much of a military record to work with."
Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that #BIF + #BBB (assuming it gets passed) will be enough for Dems to win in 2022 (even if they get the word out etc.); but dismissing them as minor accomplishments is just horrible framing from a journalist who I usually respect.
Oh, yeah...not to mention the #AmRescuePlan, which is kind of a #BigFcknDeal.

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)

This is RIDICULOUS what a lazy sap #Biden is! NO no no to this $200B/yr drivel! We ALREADY negotiated so stop moving the goalposts & THIS is drastic! IDGAF about @Sen_JoeManchin. In that case, We wanna corp ish from #BIF bill! #BuildBackBetter #HoldTheLine marketwatch.com/story/speaking…
Maybe we change some of the corporate ish in here if they play games & act like we’re still “negotiating”. They’re acting in bad faith so both bills or NONE like we said! PLZ #HoldTheLine! $2T over 10 yrs is a joke. prospect.org/infrastructure…

#BIF
Some followers always ask why no visible action against PFI, jihadis, urban naxals.
No need for actions to be overt. Important is to blunt their nuisance making capacity.
Remember these organizations were nurtured for decades with deep penetration in society.
Just ask a question what great damage these org did in last 6 yrs. Organization once involved in bomb blast r now organizing protests.
Isn't it success of govt policies.
Muslim org threatened violence n experts feared the same after abolition of TT, Ayodhya verdict n abolition of article 370.
Knowing success of containment of jihadi n BIF forces I said nothing will happen. People fail to appreciate the work of govt on this front.
