Update (1726ET): It seems Congressional Democrats can't stop losing today.
After eliminating the billionaire tax as a source of revenue for their massive spending proposals, Democrats have now nixed plans to include a paid-leave program in their social spending and climate-change bill, according to the Wall Street Journal. The proposed program initially offered 8 weeks of paid leave, which was whittled down to four weeks - and has now been eliminated altogether, according to people familiar with the matter.
Meanwhile, the White House is scrambling to bring Democrats together around the bill - which now has a $1.75 trillion price tag - down from the $3.5 trillion that House progressives insisted they wouldn't accept - holding a parallel bipartisan infrastructure bill hostage until they get their way.
So much for that.
