The only "brazen lies" in evidence here are the author's. She has NO idea what is going on in the negotiations for passage of this relief bill, NO idea what calculations the president is making, and apparently no clue about what went on to pass the '20 bill either. Further, she has no idea what a Dixiecrat was, or who would qualify as one, no idea what difference it makes to hold the Senate majority, no idea how Democrats will do that. it indeed it's possible...basically no idea at all. That is of course unless her actual goal is to kneecap the progressive agenda or just blow up the whole process of self governance for some unknown reason.
