House lawmakers passed President Biden’s $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill late Friday night, securing a key victory for his administration and breaking a weeks-long deadlock between moderates and progressives that threatened to derail the legislation.
The House vote was 228-206, with 13 GOP lawmakers crossing party lines to join Democrats in voting in favor of the legislation.
The bill, which provides funding for physical infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, water pipes and broadband internet, will now advance to President Biden’s desk for final approval. Senate lawmakers already voted 69-30 to approve the legislation in August.

LOL isn’t this spending over 10 years? Much ado about nothing and they don’t even get to splash it all over the fake news media for the average citizen until Monday.
“13 GOP lawmakers crossing party lines to join Democrats...”
No party discipline. McCarthy is weak.
Some of them are bound under the “Problem Solvers Caucus”. Which somehow solves every (manufactured) problem by spending more money and going deeper into debt.
Nuke DC during a joint session of Congress. It’s the only way to be sure.
Other than wasted money no undoable harm but that bbb is terrible.
Loser Dems in senate made this possible. Ugh
So more slop in the trough for their campaign donor masters.
Nothing in the world cost more, to achieve less, then a US Fed Govt spending bill
“Weak?” How about absolutley worthless?!!!
This is totally inflationary.
And has little to do with infrastructure as conventionally defined.
Senate GOPeers largely to blame.
How do you control reprobates like Adam Kinzinger who lied his way into office?
13 worthless turncoats. I’m betting that few if any Dems strayed from the mob.
6 Dems nays: Omar, Bush, Bowman, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez & Pressley
.
The second bill has a $50,000 tax exemption for members of the Media.
And it sends unprecedented money to the IRS.
Amongst total garbage.
.
GOP smacks around the DEMs in the elections three days ago. Biden gets a huge win anyway. F*ck this world!

Six radical-Marxist nut jobs. They obviously wanted more.

Okay.
Well, that changes things.
But makes no sense, when the issue at stake is the Senate.
Meaning, they should’ve been getting pledges from the Senate.
