Joe Manchin gets $500,000 a year from one of the dirtiest coal plants in West Virginia, and he’s demanding that Democrats gut their climate agenda. One corrupt politician is holding back the world.

someone should just pay him $500k a year just to get out of the way. in both the short and long run, it’s totally worth it.

And as Paula Jean Swearengin has been saying, it is the health of West Virginians themselves, and the beauty of their home state, that Manchin’s bankrollers destroy. Grotesque corruption.

Want to take Sinema & Manchin’s power away? Demand Congressional leadership stop with these all or nothing omnibus bills where we have to accept the IRS snooping every $600 transaction in order to get some good provisions passed in exchange. It’s a corruption of our democracy.
The only reason Senators Manchin and Sinema have outsized power is because Democratic leaders are trying to centrally plan the legislative outcome. Their power evaporates if leaders put the bills on the floor, allow everyone to offer amendments, and accept the undesigned outcome.
