This Week's UPDATES

Just a few more days before Thanksgiving, and it seems that everyone is crazy for turkeys.

Our Main Topic this week is about the United States House of Representatives. Last Friday, the almost $2 trillion Build Back Better bill was passed and now goes to the Senate for a final vote. This after the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill was just signed into law by President Joe Biden who seems to be on a roll with trying to clean the United States, although it might take a titanic-size load of elbow grease to fix this damage country. Even better, yesterday was the President's 79th Birthday and what a way to celebrate it with the passing of his "Build Back Better" agenda the day after. The bill passed 220-213, with just 1 out of 221 Democrats voting against the bill, and 212 Republicans telling Democrats "in your little boy blue dreams we're gonna vote for this dumb--- bill." The New York Times has reported that should the bill pass the Senate, then Americans could see a major change in funding for universal pre-K, Medicare expansion, renewable energy credits, affordable housing, a year of expanded Child Tax Credits and healthcare subsidies, all of this sounds absolutely great to me, so much that I like to tell House Republicans and that lone Democrat, Jared Golden, that "their the dumb---es for voting against a bill meant to help the country that they're sworn to keep alive." New reports from CNN have said that the Senate is expected to pass the bill sometime before the end of the year, which means that President Biden could be getting the most wonderful Christmas gift of the year. To learn more about the passage of the Build Back Better bill by United States House of Representatives, we've got a brand new #TwitterTrend down below.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal
Just over 8 weeks ago, @POTUS met with progressives in the Oval to hear our priorities for Build Back Better. It was an honor. At the end, he gave me a copy of the speech he gave to Congress on his BBB agenda & signed it.

Yes, we did the work, passed the bill & kept the faith!Raised fist
Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal
This means paid leave, childcare, universal pre-k, home and community based care, climate action, affordable housing, lowered health care costs, immigration reform, and so much more.
