Democrats in Congress are raging at moderate holdouts in their caucus after President Joe Biden offered to slash more than a trillion dollars from his mammoth spending bill on Friday, in an attempt to save his political agenda from warring factions in his own party.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was again forced to delay a vote on Biden's $1 trillion infrastructure bill, which the centrists support, and admitted that 'more time is needed' after the two sides failed to reach a deal on the broader $3.5 trillion spending package.
It was the third time the vote was delayed this week, after Pelosi previously vowed to bring the measure to the floor on Monday and Thursday, signaling a deepening stalemate even as party leaders insist progress is being made.

Cut it by another $2.3T and you a deal!
There is a HAVE in there... good grief!
Maybe that vicious old termagant is losing her grip.
Did Gropin' Joe pimp any of this boondoggle from his campaign basement bunker? I don't recall.
Thanks, I learned a new word.

This can’t be the best for a woman her age. She’s living
in a pressure cooker. abd looks like she’s ‘done’ (fork tender).
but I thought we liked Mavericks?
Oh. You only like Mavericks when its those in the other party - certainly not your own party. Got it.
The all do what Deep State orders.
Deep State will get what it wants.
The only question is when.
Haradan is another good one. :^)
Manchin and Sinema have more guts than many pubbies in the congress.
Fact check - true.
It’s all Kabuki theater.... they’ll sneak in through bureaucracy all the other bullsh#t goodies.... I thought Obama’s “shovel ready” bill would solve the world’s problems.... but I guess not.
Manchin said 1.5 trillion is ok. So they will agree to 2.0 trillion plus a bridge in West Virginia will get the deal done. Sinema will get something for Arizona. Maybe a new Space Force facility named after John McCain.
If Manchin had guts he would oppose the whole bill, like the Republicans.
He only wants to cut it in half, and he will probably settle for $2 trillion.
You need to pick better “heroes”.
