Ohio law bans abortions as early as six weeks, forcing a raped 10-year-old to go to Indiana to get one. Asked if he believes the law should require her to have the baby, Jordan said: "The court said that is a question for the people's representatives in our state legislatures" https://t.co/wYqyNF8p82 — PolitiTweet.org

Remember where they started last year: $3.5T BBB package that Ds squabbled over in ‘21. Manchin privately made a $1.5T offer. Ds balked. Now Dems will settle for, if they can pass it: Letting Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices and extend expiring ACA subsidies for 2 yrs — PolitiTweet.org

After more than a year of talks, Manchin puts an end to negotiations over climate and energy provisions and also says he’s not going to back tax increases. Will only back provisions to deal with prescription drug prices and a two-year extension of ACA subsidies, per Dem sources — PolitiTweet.org
