Lindsey Graham of South Carolina announced Monday that he has tested positive for Covid-19 despite being vaccinated and has experienced “flu-like symptoms,” but said that he now has only “mild symptoms” and is very glad he had been vaccinated because “without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now.” “I was just informed by the House physician I have tested positive for #COVID19 even after being vaccinated. I started having flu-like symptoms Saturday night and went to the doctor this morning,” he tweeted.

On The Money: Biden, Pelosi struggle with end of eviction ban | Trump attorney says he will fight release of tax returns

THE BIG DEAL Biden, Pelosi struggle with end of eviction ban: President Biden Millions of Americans are facing homelessness after a push to extend the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s (CDC) eviction ban collapsed Friday in a mess of Democratic finger-pointing. After failing to rally enough House Democrats behind a bill to extend the CDC eviction ban, Pelosi and fellow caucus leaders have ramped up pressure on Biden to renew protections amid surging cases. But Biden administration officials maintained Monday that the CDC could not act without Congress bolstering its authority, if only for a temporary solution. “The CDC director and her team have been unable to find legal authority, even for a more targeted eviction moratorium, that would focus just on counties with higher rates of COVID spread,” said Gene Sperling, Biden’s economic recovery czar, during a White House briefing Monday.

Senate unveils $1T bipartisan infrastructure bill after weekend session

Senate unveils $1T bipartisan infrastructure bill after weekend session By Kevin Freking and Lisa Mascaro Published WASHINGTON - After much delay, senators unveiled a nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package Sunday night, wrapping up days of painstaking work on the inches-thick bill and launching what is certain to be a lengthy debate over President Joe Biden’s big priority. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act clocked in at some 2,700 pages, and senators could begin amending it soon. Despite the hurry-up-and-wait during a rare weekend session, emotions bubbled over once the bill was produced. The final product was not intended to stray from the broad outline senators had negotiated for weeks with the White House.
