russia, quote, i told putin we would respond, unquote. white house officials said they would wait six months to see if biden s warning accomplished anything. the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, mark warner, told me at a minimum, biden should request putin arrest the attackers. it s clear that it has not yet had impact. we don t know if that s because the message was not received, and putin decided to ignore it or maybe he thought this would be handled over time and negotiations, but we don t have time here. we need to act now and demand these individuals are responsible for this particular hack, get arrested, and the key gets turned over to the
members in the problem solvers caucus there is, could potentially vote for the bipartisan plan, and you mentioned the trickiest part, in their statement they want a standalone vote on this plan, and we know nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, and president biden have linked the bipartisan road infrastructure plan with a multi-trillion human infrastructure plan, and so this is going to be very difficult still for these leaders to get both of these packages through congress, but it is a very good sign for the bipartisan plan that this many republicans have come out in support of it, craig. this problem solvers group, it s the most moderate parts of both parties. where do things stand with the bill with regard to the more
