  1. Top from last 48 hrs
    Republican Sen. Roy Blunt calls on Biden to slash massive infrastructure plan to $615 billion.
    CNBC (Moderate Left) • Credibility Grade 77% • 3 min read

    In an interview with Fox News Sunday, Blunt – the fourth-ranking Republican in the Senate – argued that only 30% of the president’s proposal focuses on traditional infrastructure and said reducing the price would allow the White House to pass the bill through both chambers of Congress.
    ...
    “If we’d go back and look at roads and bridges and ports and airports, and maybe even underground water systems and broadband, you’d still be talking about less than 30% of this entire package,” [Blunt] added.
    ...
    Democrats would need to use the budget reconciliation process to pass the bill on their own unless the White House changes the proposal to satisfy Republicans or 10 Senate Republicans break with McConnell. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said on Sunday that she hopes the proposal passes with bipartisan support, but added that Biden is prepared to use reconciliation without Republicans.

Yes - Since the CDC stated that those who have been vaccinated and/or have had the Covid-19 virus, cannot get or pass on the virus, there are enough people who meet that criteria to drop the mask mandate. Those who want, can still wear a mask.
