“What Build Back Better bill?” Manchin said Tuesday, using the legislation’s name, when reporters asked about it. “There is no, I mean, I don’t know what you’re all talking about.” Asked if he’d had any talks about it, he added, “No, no, no no. It’s dead.”

Given enough federal money, Joe M. will roll over better than Major Biden.

Manchin's unfortunate suicide will give control of the Senate to Republicans.

To Build Back, you must destroy first. They haven’t quite finished the “destroy” part yet.

Brandon already said they would simply do it piecemeal. But I think Pelosi put the kabash on it because of the “reconciliation” aspect.
