Republicans on Friday blocked the creation of an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, using their filibuster power in the Senate for the first time this year to doom a full accounting for the deadliest attack on Congress in centuries.*BIG GASP*

By LunaticNotFounder Go To PostThis is awful. There was a story out of Cork a couple of days ago that the planning board had refused permission to build flats on the site of a former mother and baby home because
Yea it was that bad.
it is not satisfied that the site was not previously used as and does not contain a children’s burial ground.
It said it considers that there are reasonable concerns in relation to the potential for a children’s burial ground within the site associated with the former use of the lands as a mother and baby home over the period 1922 to 1998.
Of those children, 923 died while at, or in the care of Bessborough.
The commission found that the congregation failed to keep proper burial records for the vast majority of those infants, with burial records being found for just 64.

He’s saying he won’t accept the hike Biden wants, but he’s open to small increases.
By Fenderputty Go To PostHe’s saying he won’t accept the hike Biden wants, but he’s open to small increases.Stop it
By Fenderputty Go To PostHe’s saying he won’t accept the hike Biden wants, but he’s open to small increases.This gov always feels like it's on rails to me. Like even if there's a Dem majority there'll always be somebody preventing transformative agendas. Whoever'll accept the check
Love this. Last summer they closed major roads going in and out of the city to cars so people can walk them or ride their bikes. Glad they’re bringing it back this summer and it’ll be a shame if it doesn’t stay in some capacity post-COVID. Ditto with all the bike infrastructure and patio stuff they’re doing.

Additionally, the Biden-Harris Administration is taking on discrimination in home appraisals. A 2018 Brookings study found that homes in majority-Black neighborhoods are often valued at tens of thousands of dollars less than comparable homes in similar—but majority-White—communities. And the crisis is worsening: a recent study found that the gap between the appraised value of homes in predominantly White neighborhoods compared to comparable homes in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods nearly doubled between 1980 and 2015. The impact of these disparities in home appraisals can be sweeping, limiting homeowners’ ability to properly benefit from refinancing or re-selling their homes at higher valuations and thereby contributing to the already-sprawling racial wealth gap.
President Biden is charging Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge with leading a first-of-its-kind interagency initiative to address inequity in home appraisals. The effort will seek to utilize, quickly, the many levers at the federal government’s disposal, including potential enforcement under fair housing laws, regulatory action, and development of standards and guidance in close partnership with industry and state and local governments, to root out discrimination in the appraisal and homebuying process. These are the kinds of policies and practices that keep Black families in Greenwood and across the nation from building generational wealth through homeownership.
And more
The reason Manchin and Sinema aren't being subdued is because they're braver than the whole of the Dems in representing their actual republican views lol
I never thought the filibuster was gonna go, bit I’m definitely disappointed in the lack of budget reconciliations Manchin is entertaining.
