Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the Senate would vote on the Green New Deal introduced last week by Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
"I've noted with great interest the Green New Deal, and we're going to be voting on that in the Senate to give everybody an opportunity to go on record," McConnell told reporters.
The bill, which is not expected to pass the Republican-dominated upper chamber, could force some Democrats to make a politically awkward calculation.

Sometimes Mitch McConnell has some bright ideas.
If they’re dumb enough to buy into the insanity outlined in the NGD policy then I guess we’re all cooked.
She does not have the intellect to have written the thing.
Roll call vote
Love it

Me, too.
All the foot shuffling, throat clearing, swallowing hard (picked up by the mic) and then a shaky “yay.” Pardon, me, the chair cannot hear the reply” (pause) “yay.”
“Yay is recorded.”
Unless it’s done on their etch-a-sketch play toys with screen and stylus. Not as fun.
This is not good. Once they submit these types of bills, if libs ever control of the two other branches... will make it much easier to pass this crap Same with recent gun legislation.

As when your screen name was still number one in the Top Forty Hits (only sheet music in the 1860s)
the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored will see substantial trampling and the American cities will be burning.
This is not an endorsement of violence or meant to encourage or condone violence. I much prefer all of us working within the system at the ballot box to defeat the Dems in 2020.
I wonder how much of her Green New Deal was begged, borrowed, or taken from the national Green Party. Must read it one of these days.
I’d like to know who is the idiot who claimed methane is a danger. The percentage of methane in the atmosphere is 0.00017% about the same percentage of brain matter in Alexandria Cortexs concrete filled skull.
Then a vote on defunding ICE
Yeah, I’d love to hear debate on how we can get cows to stop farting.
All talk, no vote???
Predictable.
Do it, Cocaine Mitch!!! It’s a great idea, we back you!
So when is the vote?
