Let’s be rational
Progressives are taking an “all is lost” position on this. The fact is, this HUGE bill is filled with all kinds of aid for families –daycare, healthcare subsidies, etc. — so that if this is what passes the goddamned bill, then so be it. It’s nowhere near the big deal the purists are making it sound. Sure, I wish these “moderate” Democrats would go take a flying leap, but they’re here and we have to deal with them. Now we have to watch Republicans obstruct every step of the way:
11.8 million adults and 4.6 million children will be cut off from checks because *reasons*

Yesterday was the first time TX’s statewide positivity for COVID-19 fell below 10% in over 4 months, but at 9.93% it’s still way above the CDC’s 5% target to reopen. @GregAbbott_TX, why are you doing this right after we had people gathering during a power outage? Cases will soar. https://t.co/gi0vDjsiAK

When @GregAbbott_TX expressed regret for reopening Texas too soon we had about 5,000 cases per day.
Today Texas is averaging around 8,000 cases per day. pic.twitter.com/K4tTyYSIKu
