Page 2 - The Progressives News Today

Tonight, and the progressive caucus to go along with that. >> what theyre looking for, is both bills, moving together next week. that there is no, what she called an artificial deadline at this point, is not going to help. and so, i do feel like you know, the movement every day, that we can observe, matters, in terms of whats ultimately going to happen, but were back to whether or not joe manchin and kristen sinema just dont want something to pass, its very easy for them to make sure its not goi...

Today" and jake sherman, founder of "punchbowl news." welcome to sunday. its "meet the press." >> announcer: from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. good sunday morning. at least congress made sure the government didnt shut down, but thats not all that didnt happen this past week. democrats with slim majorities and big differences of opinion did not manage to pass either of their two big priorities. moderate democra...

Hardball on this. and just basically, this is what were going to do and how were going to do it and this is what the democratic party stands for and this is -- im the president of the united states. i think theres still too many democrats that are in this delusional state still that they think that they can just, you know, fumble around in the course of this and everythings fine. the republicans are incredibly disciplined. you can despise much of what theyre doing, which i do, but theyre incredi...

What joe manchin says he might support in two weeks when we get legislative language because we dont trust him. congressman paul and house progressives and progressive senators in the senate do not trust that sinema and manchin will vote for the larger build back better package if they surrender all their leverage and just vote for the highway bill now. what they want to have happen is have these bills pass in tandem. they want to see the senate move and pass the full reconciliation bill and the...

Achievement no matter what the number is. and i wonder if they get that? its also, i believe, a seismic shift in the party. the progressives are in control. it is no longer about aoc. i know the media loves her and she certainly makes a passionate case. pramila jayapal is the one calling the shots. >> and joe manchin. i just got a bit of news here. this is reportable, right, producers? its from lauren fox, one of our big pro dducers here. joe manchin in a quote said, i dont see a deal tonight. h...

Campaign on members of the house or members of the senate. he prefers, as a former senator, i think, to do this privately. but it seems to me that while nancy pelosi is the one who has been pushing this, because very often legislatively, deadlines work. we all know that in our lives. you put a deadline before someone and say, okay, we have to get it done before this day, and sometimes that can be kind of helpful. tonight, i think, a deadline is really working against her, because while they may ...

They think theyll get a reconciliation bill passed. but, don, what theyve been saying is "some version" of the reconciliation bill. that is far from certain and we will find out more. it is notable we havent seen the president on camera talking about this. we could potentially tomorrow. >> im just looking here. i just want to make sure -- i have another question for brian. the reporting we have pelosi delays vote on house infrastructure bill after house negotiations. ok. so, the question is, bri...

Progressives that they didnt have the votes to get this infrastructure bill passed tonight, and nancy pelosi said she would not bring a vote to the floor if they did not have the votes, and this is the conclusion theyve reached. despite these late night talks that have gone on between top white house aides who have been on capitol hill, in senator schumers office, in speaker pelosis office in the last several hours, but now they have decided there will be no vote tonight as tonight and they will...

Kid under six. they want that extended the next four years. thats a very real economic impact for households, and so pramila jayapal and the house democratic caucus who are standing by this bill, theyre saying we want the most robust version of that child tax credit, we want the two years of free community college, we want measures that really confront climb change, and joe biden wants those things, too. so i really think that at the end of the day, this is not a battle between half the caucus o...

The senate votes, and as soon as they vote, she wants her people to rush to the floor and vote so that the nos will be recorded fi first. >> right. manchin says, i dont see it. bernie says, i dont want to see it. jayapal says, youre not going to see it. they had to call some 70 participants and all the progressives said no. even some members of the cbc, im being told, the congressional black caucus. this now makes a very interesting question, not about the dynamic, not about the result, because ...
