"Up to 40 House Republicans are prepared to vote for the infrastructure package, GOP sources said."
To reiterate, without actual names on record this is just talk.
But if true, 44 progressive holdouts would be required to block a stand-alone BIB vote.https://t.co/rFhoCmObA2

Trading places
New: Progressive DC groups have been invited to dinners at the vice president's, press junkets with the president, and friendly face time with the chief of staff. All it has cost them is the ability to criticize the president and steer the agenda. https://t.co/6zcXFKoqTk

Child tax credit
I know so many people who are grateful today. It is such an enormous relief to so many parents, and I remember what it’s like to have nothing left over — or not enough:
Starting today, American families will receive monthly payments up to $300 per child from the Child Tax Credit.

Today is a historic day for our country. Because beginning this morning, nearly all working families started receiving their first tax cut payment from the Child Tax Credit of up to $300 per child.
Help is here with the American Rescue Plan.

To give you a sense of how transformative the expanded Child Tax Credit is: It’s going to spur the largest-ever one-year decrease in child poverty in American history.

Wishing it mattered
I just wish it mattered. I wish I could see it changing minds, if only the minds of Senators Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema and their stubborn devotion to the filibuster—a word, I should note, that did not pass the president’s lips on Tuesday. https://t.co/yuTY4WJxA2
