Rep. @AOC (D-NY) says Sen. Manchin opposition “is an outcome that we warned about” and Dems have “every right to be furious with Joe Manchin.”

“It’s really about time that we take the kid gloves off and we start using them to govern for working families in this country.”
@AOC Rep. @AOC (D-NY): “The president did say that the Build Back Better Act was promised and that he’s got it. And we said … no one can really promise a Manchin vote.”
@AOC Rep. @AOC (D-NY) on Sen. Manchin's no on BBB Act:
“The idea that Joe Manchin says he can’t explain this back home to his people is a farce ... I represent just as many or more people than Joe Manchin does.”

“I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there.”
.@BretBaier: "Your number at the beginning was $1.7T. Where is the disconnect that you are now a "no"?

Sen. Manchin (D-WV): "At $1.5T is where I thought the most that we could do if we just did it & basically took care of the things that we thought were the highest priorities."

THREAD: Omicron is spreading rapidly. Sports teams are finding out the hard way.

52 players have gone into the NBA’s health and safety protocols this month, and the NFL has placed more than 100 players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list this week alone.
At the center of the NBA’s COVID troubles is the Chicago Bulls. After a team outbreak, the Bulls were down to a league minimum of 8 players — forcing them to sign two players via hardship exception.

One of those players entered health and safety protocols before his first game.
Number of NBA players in health and safety protocols by team:

• Bulls: 10
• Nets: 7
• Lakers: 5
• Kings: 5
• Knicks: 4
• Bucks: 4
• Celtics: 3
• Clippers: 1
• Grizzlies: 1
• Heat: 1
• 76ers: 1
• Raptors: 1
• Cavaliers: 1
• Warriors: 1

"...the [1/6] committee voted unanimously on Monday evening to recommend that the Dep't of Justice charge [Mark] Meadows with criminal contempt ... Fox [News] did not air the hearing, though CNN and MSNBC did, as did C-SPAN, of course."
That was immediately followed by Nick from Florida who called in to read C-SPAN as "China-SPAN."

Sick burn.

.@SenWarren (D-MA): “Have Amazon’s logistical operations improved, or have things just gotten worse …?

Courtenay Brown, Amazon Associate at NJ fulfillment center: “It’s definitely gotten worse … Amazon really doesn’t care very much … it’s all about speed and quantity.”
@SenWarren Amazon fulfillment center worker Courtenay Brown says employees are “terminated” when they attempt to prioritize quality over quantity:

“For Amazon, this only means they’re getting rich … Workers cannot do their jobs well because Amazon wants to make more money."
“We work until our bodies are basically, they're past the emergency stop button — we delay bathroom breaks, we miss lunch ... We would literally take like 30 seconds to cry it out for a little bit, and then get right back to it.”
