Lillian + Richard introduce themselves, Infrastructure negotiations coming to a head, and GOP uses filibuster to block the Jan. 6 commission.
In this first-ever Tell Me Now Podcast, Lillian + Richard give a brief intro about who they are and their goals for the show. Then, in the "news" segment, they discuss the ongoing flaming-out Infrastructure negotiations between the GOP and the White House, sharing real numbers about how the dueling plans stack up. Finally, they talk about the hope of another vote on the Jan 6. commission and the future of the filibuster.
