Yesterday's announcement of a deal on "hard" infrastructure between the White House and Senate Republicans intentionally left some important "human" infrastructure out to be considered separately. Ten Republicans have reportedly signed on to the deal, which goes to the Senate and then to the House for a vote. Republicans refused to reverse any of Dear Leader's gigantic 2017 tax giveaway to the ultra-wealthy and major corporations (who are "people, my friend!"). NPR has a breakout summary of the proposed deal, which will almost certainly be fought by corrupt obstructionist Sen. Moscow Mitch McConnell:
