I'm going to go out on a limb here...

I think Speaker Pelosi will work her deal-making magic and the Dems will come together.

They won’t get the full 3.5 trillion, but they will get a deal and a start in the right direction.

I’m not really an optimist by nature, but I’m hopeful about this.

Not everything we want, but an improvement over what we have. Still won’t be good enough for some though.

Republicans like to let DEMs clean up their messes. Let’s see what their constituents think about that.

I agree she needs to fight back hard, and stick it to the GOP.
But not at the expense of the people and the planet.

So, I’m dreaming of a way of making the Republicans responsible for their shit. In the short run. I realize it’s my anger response.

I see Andy Murray’s having a tough match against Ruud.
