Last year we stopped Manchin’s zombie dirty deal not once, or twice, but three times. But it’s still wasn’t enough. Fossil fueled fascists in Congress have been hard at work trying to get the zombie plan known as “permitting reform” back up and shuffling. They made it the centerpiece of the GOP-Controlled House’s first bill, …

Today is the winter solstice – meaning that from now until next summer, the days will only get warmer, longer, and sunnier. It’s fitting that the solstice comes just after we got word that Manchin’s dirty deal has been defeated a fourth (and we hope, final) time this year! Senate negotiators announced early Tuesday that …

Sept 21 update: Today, Joe Manchin (Fossil fascist, WV) is finally releasing the details of his dirty deal. But Manchin’s new deal isn’t a sign of strength. It’s a sign of cowardice. More than 80 Democrats in the US House have pledged to stop Manchin’s dirty deal. Senators Sanders and Markey have also pledged to …
There’s been a lot of hot takes, premature celebration, and doomerism since the Manchin-Schumer compromise deal on a big budget reconciliation bill was announced, which Manchin wants to call the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (🤮 ). I took some time and dug through the bill (yes, I read legislative text when I have to) …

* Update * No surprise, climate-denying coal baron Joe Manchin has blocked progress on President Biden’s agenda, again.
