1/ McConnell says he’s open to an infrastructure bill that both sides agree on, but he’s not open to any change to the 2017 tax cut that gave $.83 of every dollar to the richest corporations and individuals.

2/ That’s a perfect encapsulation of his brand of Republican: open to helping people as long as it doesn’t fundamentally alter the economic pattern that guarantees vastly more wealth for the 1%. Raising corporate tax rates doesn’t just help pay for things; it helps right the ship

He is spinning more rope for his fellow Republicants. Goody!

For a quick laugh, think of the Trump/Jenner ticket. There’s your Republican party of today, no real identity & completely at odds

The federal government didn't "give" corporations anything. Letting them keep their own money allowed them to make profits AND keep jobs in America.

He specifically and deliberately must be disenfranchised from the process for however long it he is in office. I don’t know any other senator who knows so well where the levers of power are. End the filibuster, pass PRO and the FPA.
