Time in a bipartisan way. And so i want to yield to the distinguished chair because the bill that the Senate Passed is identical to our instructions to the budget as we said to them. Get behind the microphone. Yeah. The speaker is right. We got the same amount in instructions back from the senate that we passed, so we can pass it with a simple vote today and intend to. Then the committees will draft the legislation that actually creates the assignment of those dollars, and well bring that back to the floor in just a couple of weeks. And, you know, we only lost two democrats in the vote. They just voted for 1. 9 trillion. So we dont anticipate a problem. Madam speaker, do you have any concerns that a package this large approaching 2 trillion might sacrifice progressive policies Going Forward . Absolutely not. One of the things that we always discuss is, as we try to address the emergency that we have now, to crush the virus, to save the lives and livelihood of the American People, were

Formalized a deal that cements their control of the United States senate. President biden and his colleagues have made it clear that on covid relief, they have zero interest in waiting on republicans. Yesterday democrats pushed forward with a motion to pass bidens 1. 9 trillion covid package with or without republican support. Mitch mcconnell called the move totally partisan. Which is rich coming from a guy who used the exact same tool to pass a 1. 5 trillion tax cut for the rich. Youll notice that republicans love to wave the word unity like a bloody shirt when they criticize democrats. You know whats better than fake unity, action, action that helps people. Thats the job of governing. In many ways, were now down to just one governing party. This morning speak nancy pelosi and Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer led a congressional tribute to Brian Sicknick who died during the insurrection last month.

Is irate we can break this thing we call law and bring allegiance to this thing we call the law. It is ironic to say the least that you would reward people who do not follow the law by administering an oath to follow the law. President obama used is that he wanted a country where everybody plays by the same rules. W

President biden reportedly told democrats to move forward with his 1. 9 trillion proposal not long after sitting down with Senate Republicans to try to hash out a bipartisan deal. 618 billion proposal was swiftly rejected. Democrats cleared a procedural hurdle to go forward with Budget Reconciliation to pass bigger bill with a simple majority. Republicans can join us but dont try to go against us. We have the majority and we arent backing down. Our members who were in the meeting felt that the president
