A group of immigration activists confronted Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Arizona) on Sunday, who followed her into the restroom, demanding her to vote for the Democrats’ sweeping spending bill. The event transpired at Arizona State University in Phoenix, where the senator is a lecturer. “We knocked on doors for you to get you elected. Just how we got you elected, we can get you out of office if you don’t support what you promised us,” one of the activists told Sinema, according to the video released. It is illegal in Arizona to photograph or videotape someone in a restroom. Following the Sunday inci...

Senate Democrats approved a $3.5 trillion budget plan bolstering family services, health care, job training and environment programs early on Wednesday morning. The vote, 50-49, with no Republican support, passed the Senate just hours after the bipartisan infrastructure deal. The bill couldn’t reach the 60 vote threshold to avoid the filibuster, so it was passed via the Senate’s budget reconciliation mechanism. While Republicans are strongly opposing the Democrats’ budget, just hours before, the chamber passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal. Progressive Democrats in Congress like...

President Joe Biden said that he supports Democratic efforts to include immigration reform in the Democrats-only reconciliation budget bill. “I think we should include in the reconciliation bill the immigration proposal,” the president said.

On Thursday, Hispanic lawmakers said that the president fully supported their efforts to include immigration in the budget. Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) told reporters: “He agrees that the best path at this point is to try to use reconci...

Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough approved Senate Democrats’ use of budget reconciliation to pass President Joe Biden‘s American Jobs Plan infrastructure bill – and then use of the procedure at least two more times in the next two years – with a simple majority, giving a green light to pass more of Biden’s agenda through Congress. A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) confirmed on Tuesday morning that Democrats can reuse the budget reconciliation procedure that passed the American Rescue Plan COVID-19 stimulus bill, but specifying that “some parameters ...

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) is in talks with Senate Democrats planning to pass President Joe Biden‘s new $3 billion infrastructure bill through budget reconciliation, similar to the American Rescue Plan, which passed earlier in March. Even though reconciliation can only be used once a year, Schumer hopes to use a loophole to pass the upcoming bill in a similar way. Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 says that “at any time after [a reconciliation bill] has been agreed to … and before the end of such fiscal year, the two Houses may adopt a concurrent r...
