Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has teed up a vote for the weekend on the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan, ending debate late Thursday evening by filing cloture on the sweeping measure.
While the final vote time remains unclear, the Senate is scheduled to come back into session on Saturday at noon, with lawmakers out of session on Friday for late Sen. Mike Enzi’s (D-Wyo.) funeral.
Top lawmakers in the upper chamber had hopes of passing the measure on Thursday evening, but parties remained at odds over votes on additional amendments.

On a summer weekend while nobody is paying attention...................
If Liz Cheney votes for it, it becomes “bipartisan”. Swell.
Line 3,195 “Infrastructure funds sufficient to eliminate internet sites used by conservatives and patriots.”
RINOs: “Hours and hours to read that thing? I just voted yay. I’m not going to miss one of the best golf days this weekend poring over a bill.”
is linsey still out on covid lockdown?
There are going to be quite a few GOP Senators voting for this and they KNOW they are paving the way for the country killing reconciliation bill.
This is our reward for re-electing Bush League Republicans.
They will always assist the Democrats.
17 RINOS allowed this, hopefully half can read and will vote NO.
It occurs to be that there is a Senate rule that requires an “executive summary” of some kind on the bill. At least, bullet points of the major items. Of course, the person putting together the summary could decide to omit “those minor parts”. I’ve not found the bill text in its final form yet, so I have no idea what the writers have done.
Yieks. Please don’t promote her. She’s not a senator thankfully. She will not be voting on shumer’s bill this weekend.
And around midnight with an anonymous vote to boot (US all).
Bipartisan, my @$$.
If Chuck the Schmuck is for it, I'm against it.

Does anybody know of a reputable source that has details of what is in this mess?
All I can find is from the usual slanted suspects.
The fractured moon graph from the nyslimes is not designed to provide clarity.
They already have their Assistant Democrats all lined up.
Yup. Unless you want to do a quick scan of 2,500+ pages. And, come on schumckee. Make it a buhzillion. It’s never getting paid back so what the hell?
Yes we have to pass it to see what’s in it.
There is no way anybody read this 2,700 page bill.
Maybe its just me, but I don’t see how anyone, regardless of politics, can vote on something when they don’t even read the bill. A related frustration I have , is why do they write bills which sre thousands of pages long in the first place?
"We have to pass the bill, so that you can find out what is in it!"
I hope the people in Utah and Alaska are paying attention!
'Bipartisan' = Globalist Oligarchy
People fear mongered with COVID hysteria and the swamp sneaks in more fiscal and social death to America over the weekend.
“What difference at this point does it make?”
