Trump’s Washington DC hotel lost $74m during presidency, documents

Lest we forget, as all the todo around the debt limit begins to wind down (for now), there’s still the very contentious $3.5tn reconciliation bill up ahead.

Senator Bernie Sanders took the time today to chat with reporters about his displeasure over the role that centrist Democrats senators Joe Manchin and Kysten Sinema in shrinking the bill.

He and other progressives in the party have been clear from the start that this “human infrastructure” bill focused on social services and environmental measures was fine as it was and should be voted on alongside the $1.2tn bipartisan infrastructure bill to give it a better chance of passing. Republicans – and Manchin and Sinema – have long balked at the size, as well as attempts to pass it alongside a bill they had negotiated.

Sanders has especially gone hard at Manchin, who has repeatedly spoken about how he feels that the bill would move the country toward “an entitlement society”.

Steve Bannon has informed the House committee investigating the 6 January attack on the US Capitol that he will not be cooperating with their subpoena to provide related documents.
