We did it! We passed a $1.9T stimulus bill and democrats still managed to negotiate themselves down on the things that matter most to everyday people. Classic! There are some good things in the bill though, no thanks to Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema. We’ll give you the full rundown, so don’t miss it! Plus we’ve got all the updates on vaccines, Andrew Cuomo, and Neera Tandon (byeeeeeeeeee).

Wow, guys. CPAC. Just…wow. We’ll give you the whole rundown, including a deep analysis of one of the most spectacularly bad renditions of the national anthem ever caught on film. Plus, the house passed the $1.9T covid relief bill, but Biden also opened some child migrant detention facilities, dropped some bombs in Syria, and just shrugged his shoulders when we learned that the Saudi Crown Prince did indeed kill Jamal Kashoggi. So a real mixed bag of a week! We’ll cover it all, so don’t miss out!
