As one does!
A Washington state father was shot in the head and wounded while driving his two children around a neighborhood and trying to get them to sleep. He looked “suspicious” to the 23-year-old man who shot him. #waleg https://t.co/7UvA3VoRSL

The stakes
This is violent, fascist, revolutionary, and extreme, and I don’t think our campaigns should get fancy next year coming up with some poll tested “kitchen table” stuff. These people cannot be trusted with the power of the people because it’s unclear they would ever give it back. https://t.co/SmWNbmCwFv

Asshole, part 2
NEW: Sen. Manchin has told the White House the child tax credit must include a firm work requirement and family income cap in the $60k range, Axios has learned.
These demands would dramatically weaken one of Biden's signature programs. https://t.co/ZL5PHUfpBY

Not to mention, the cost of daycare would probably cancel out any benefit.

Senator Joe Manchin raised over $400,000 from donors in the energy industry in the third quarter, including some from donors that normally give to Republicans, according to his latest filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Manchin has opposed certain climate-related stipulations within the Democrats’ proposed $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. The legislation also includes expanded safety net programs for workers and families, lower prescription drug prices, and billions of dollars toward healthcare benefits for seniors.
Democrats have been trying to rein in certain aspects of the bill — including its overall cost — to appease moderates like Manchin, as well as Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, according to Bloomberg.
Manchin, who is from West Virginia, also owns millions of dollars in coal stocks. West Virginia is the second-largest producer of coal in the US, according to the West Virginia Office of Energy.
