Next for the public works bill

 Political Wire

New York Times: “The measure now faces a potentially rocky and time-consuming path in the House, where the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the nearly 100-member Progressive Caucus, have said they will not vote on it unless and until the Senate passes a separate, even more ambitious $3.5 trillion social policy bill this fall.”

Axios: “But the large margin of votes for the bill — 19 Senate Republicans voted in favor, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — could make it harder for House progressives to dismiss outright.

I hope the house passes this one, and then goes to work on the next one. One thing at a time.
