Biden kicks off his first press conference by announcing his administration has set a goal of administering 200 million shots by his 100th day in office
cbsnews.com/live-updates/j…
Biden says 100 million stimulus checks of at least $1400 have gone out.

"Help is here and hope is on the way."
Biden punts on a q about how he can hope to overcome Republican opposition to Democratic priorities, saying they're "long-term problems."

"I think my Republican colleagues are going to have to determine whether they want to work together," or continue to "divide the country."

Schumer is at the Rules Committee hearing on S1 (For The People Act). He says the US was not a full democracy until Voting Rights Act, but now Republicans are trying to limit voting rights.

"There is a concerted nationwide effort to limit the right of American citizens to vote."
Schumer says bills introduced in Arizona to require notarization for mail ballots and prohibit same day/automatic registration are "despicable." Also condemns a Georgia bill to outlaw voting on Sundays, which could affect voter turnout efforts in black churches.
"I'd like to ask my Republican colleagues, why are you so afraid of democracy?" Schumer asks. "It is shameful our Republican politics are proposing these ideas in 2020."

He has repeatedly said "shame, shame, shame."

Schumer victory lap: "It's a great day for the country."
Schumer, practically glowing, says: "I love my caucus." He says the "secret to the success" is the caucus unifying. Of course, yesterday there was a 12 hour deadlock while they tried to get Manchin on board for an amendment.
Schumer says he just talked to President Biden.

"I just told that to the president. He called me. And I said, 'I knew we would get this done."

The Senate has passed their amended version of the American Rescue Plan, after 25+ hours of debate and a grueling vote-a-rama. The final vote was 50-49, with cheers and applause coming from Democrats when the Senate gaveled out.
VP Harris did not have to travel to the Capitol to break a tie, as GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan had to leave for a family emergency.
The revised bill now goes to the House for consideration.
Here are the big provisions:
- $1,400 direct checks
- extended UI benefits at $300/week through Sept. 6
- $350 billion for cities, states, and tribes
- $170 billion for schools
- $100 billion for public health

The Senate is now voting on whether to waive a point of order against Sanders' amendment to raise the minimum wage. The Senate parliamentarian ruled last week that the wage hike violated budget reconciliation rules. It requires 60 votes to waive a point of order.
Moderat Democrats Jon Tester and Joe Manchin just voted against allowing the $156 minimum wage hike in the bill, indicating that this effort is doomed to fail.
Democrat Jeanne Shaheen has also voted against waiving the point of order.
