Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is putting some pressure on House Democrats to get the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill to the floor for a vote.
Nancy Pelosi’s chamber is back in session this week, and the speaker is negotiating between Democratic moderates, who want the infrastructure win, and progressives, who don’t want a vote on infrastructure until the much larger $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation effort is ready.
On this issue, Pelosi sides with the progressives.
Manchin, however, noted that the Senate passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill without yet having a blueprint for the spending bill.
“The House should put politics aside and do the same,” he said in a statement. “With so much uncertainty in the world today, one thing is certain, we must unite and pass a critical priority of the American people — improving our nation’s infrastructure.
“It would send a terrible message to the American people if this bipartisan bill is held hostage. I urge my colleagues in the House to move swiftly to get this once in a generation legislation to the president’s desk for his signature.”
The House is hoping to approve the budget resolution and get out of town early this week. Democrats returned to D.C. on Monday, cutting into their August recess to resolve the big bill issue.

The problem now for Pelosi is that she may lack the votes she needs to pass the budget resolution that will lead to the $3.5 trillion spending plan. She is currently locked in a standoff with a group of nine moderate Democratic lawmakers who, like Manchin, want to see the infrastructure bill brought to the House floor immediately. The speaker can afford to lose just three votes when she brings the budget resolution to the floor, which she is expected to do Tuesday.
Centrist Senate Democrats, including Manchin, who clocked the bipartisan infrastructure bill as a win, are assessing the possibility that tying the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package to the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation may lead to a scenario in which neither piece of legislation survives.For that reason, Manchin is making this plea to the House, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
