Later, with two days to go until the federal moratorium on evictions end, President Biden is calling on congress to extend it. As millions of americans fear they could be kicked out of their homes in the coming days. Welcome to mtp daily. If theres a will, theres a way. Last night, the Infrastructure Deal cleared a big hurdle in the senate thanks to big bipartisan agreement with a Big Push from the White House, which democrats tied to scratch that, 3. 5 trillion human infrastructure bill, gargantuan. The devil is in the details. A lot of political bridges yet to be built, especially between progressive and moderate democrats. The fact that an actual bipartisan framework was reached is a big deal for Joe Biden because in many ways this capitol kumbaya, when they joined with democrats to advance the agreement, represents the Moment And Presidency that Joe Biden campaigned on. You know, the word in this town and all across this country from Nay Sayers is that bipartisanship is dead, it do

There may be the tipping point for china and its american collaborators of which there are many. Fox news confirmed the biden administration quashed an ongoing investigation into the virus s origins earlier this year. It was initiated by mike pompeo but sources telling cnn the evidence for undertaking it supposedly wasn t solid enough and rely on cherry picked facts. If that were true why didn t the biden administration say as much at the time and then launch its own investigation, the virus the killed half 1 million americans and cost trillions of dollars is not worth investigating or as biden epstein afraid of what a field investigation and unbiased review of intel to reveal namely the china was culpable and trump said last spring the virus escaped from the wuhan institute of virology but instead while democrats like biden let the what market live percolator china denied a new role, deflected blame and watch the political fallout hit donald trump.
