The future of the Build Back Better bill remains uncertain. Even if it passes, does it have enough climate change spending to keep the promises Pres. Biden is making at COP26?

In Virginia, the GOP candidate for governor wants to give parents the power to decide what books are on the curriculum. While in Texas, Republicans want the government to hold that power.

How is an agonizing month of Democratic infighting that results in a stripped-down version of the party's signature reform legislation... like cooking eggplant parm?
