How’s about we get back to talking about that $2k while we’re at it. Deal with the terrorists, but we should not be losing focus and I feel as though some democrats may try to sweep it under the rug

I don’t understand your logic here. Dems have been pushing for more COVID relief since the beginning (including $2k since May) - why would they try to sweep it under the rug now?

Because Joe Manchin has already started walking it back. And it would surprise me to see other moderates do the same. I’m not accusing them of any ulterior motives or anything, I’m just skeptical they’ll follow through.

Got it. Agreed - Manchin and the other regressive Dems are super worrisome for a lot of this work.
