Hi Cathy. I was struck by the same things, but I have a little bit of a different perspective. RE the Irs - My thought was, 'figures, Republicans don't want their big donors or themselves to be investigated." They are simply protecting big donor money. I can hear the phone calls now.

RE infrastructure bill - Republicans seem to be waking to the fact that this is a very popular bill and that to not pass it would not help them in coming elections. Given that winning elections and keeping big donor money is really their only concern, I think the Republican party will jump on any bandwagon that serves that purpose. Even McConnell is starting to sound reasonable - shocking! Using campaign money to promote vaccines??? (maybe he has been possessed? LOL)

RE Sinema - She seems to enjoy the notariety, but she is also making a point to her constituents as a moderate. Again, it is all about being re-elected. Politicians pander to their constituants, not to their values - if they have any.

I should qualify that last statement. The best politician put their values on full display and are elected because of their values. The worst pander.

She's not up for re-election till '24. Perhaps she needs attention. Perhaps one of her big donors needs something. Will be interesting to see how she positions her ask/demand.

Where does Sinema get her campaign donations? From who mostly?

She ran against Kelly Ward, who is very behind the "audit" of 2020 ballots. At one time she was heroic among Democrats for helping to get rid of exSheriff Joe Arpaio, one of TFGs friends. She has some history protecting undocumented immigrants.
