Senate Democrats released on Monday morning a sweeping $3.5 trillion budget resolution, the legislative vehicle for a vast array of programs that cover both physical and “human” infrastructure.
The text of the resolution is here. Its release comes as the parallel track, bipartisan infrastructure bill cleared a key procedural hurdle on Sunday night.
The Senate vote on that bill is currently scheduled for Tuesday morning — though, like everything else in this process, that’s subject to change.
For the budget resolution, we can expect to see the coming weeks and months be filled with jockeying, as various advocacy groups try to ensure that they don’t miss out on what could turn out to be one of the last opportunities for significant legislative changes for years.

Mitch McConnell is corrupt all the way down to his reptilian innards.
Hope there’s some major funds in there to begin to seriously address climate change. The new UN report is kinda terrifying.
Poor poor Mitch. WIthout the power to obstruct he’s now overshadowed by the likes of Ted Crud and Aqua Buddha. He’s irrelevant.
So unfair
There are events all over the planet that are terrifying.
Diseases under the permafrost are waking up

And then there’s Greenland but this is all off topic.
For me the most terrifying aspect of all these events is the willingness of humans to act on them. It’s not like we haven’t been warned repeatedly over the years.
So, has anything been passed yet or is the Senate still voting on whether to have a vote to authorize the actual vote?
