Democrats recently passed a trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill, which President Joe Biden will soon sign into law, but that's only one part of their infrastructure agenda.

Congressional Democrats are still in negotiations on the Build Back Better Act, a $1.75 trillion (over 10 years) package that focuses on "soft" infrastructure like lowered prescription drug prices, affordable housing, funding to offset the climate crisis, and more.


The bill doesn't have any congressional Republican support, and it needs every single Democratic Senate vote in order to bypass the filibuster through the reconciliation process. Conservative Democrats like Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona are currently stalling the bill's passage in the name of so-called fiscal responsibility.

Meanwhile, congressional Republicans are working overtime to smear the legislation, which will raise taxes on the wealthy in order to fund universal pre-k, medicare expansion, and child tax credits to everyday Americans.

Republican Congressman Chris Stewart (R-UT) was the most recent conservative to slam the bill in public, but his all-too-familiar attempt to paint it as a socialist takeover ended up promoting the bill instead.

Stewart laid out the so-called "socialist laundry list" of Build Back Better, which included such atrocities as "Affordable housing," "Worker training and higher education," "In-home care access," and more.

Apparently conservatives think these things are bad?






People preferred their tax dollars going toward this "laundry list" over going to corporate subsidies.



Maybe Stewart should find a new opposition strategy.

SZA Rips 'Degenerate' AI Music After Discovering Hundreds Of Her Songs Were Used To Train It

AI-generated books, art, and music are becoming increasingly common. And, disturbingly, it's getting more difficult to distinguish these products from original works—created by human artists—since those original works are being fed into AI training platforms to "teach" them.

And since tech companies apparently assume original works can be used to train their AI models, it's difficult to deny consent, leading many artists to discover their work has been mined by these platforms without their knowledge.

'Biggest Loser' Star Jillian Michaels Gets Blunt Factcheck After Claiming Veterans Only Get 'A Day' Compared To Pride Month

Controversial fitness expert Jillian Michaels joined a chorus of homophobes in the MAGA movement who exploit veterans every June to vilify a marginalized community.

While not advocating for or championing efforts that actually help veterans, nor pushing back against Republican cuts to veterans' services, MAGA minions like Michaels are more than happy to invoke them when railing against immigrants, the poor, LGBTQ+ people, the unhoused, or any other group they hate, seemingly forgetting that those people can also be veterans.
