  BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES

The good news first: President Biden submitted his Build Back Better proposal, skinny edition, to the Democrats, pressuring them for full support. It looks like it may happen in time for a Halloween scare to the haters. “That’s not candy corn, Todd. That’s socialism!”

Information continues to come out about the attempted overthrow of the U.S. government on January 6, with clear indications that the former president was fully aware of the coup planning.

The U.S. issued its first non-binary ‘X’ gender passport. And solidifying the Democrats’ reputation as all but useless, paid family leave has been cut from the spending bill at Manchin’s insistence. Will there be any reason left to vote for them except they’re not Republicans?
