The rise and importance of Secret Congress

"in the final two years of the Obama administration. After years of gridlock, we suddenly — with little fanfare but large bipartisan majorities — got:

The Every Student Succeeds Act, a major rewrite of federal K-12 policy

An overhaul of the Department of Veterans Affairs, spearheaded by Bernie Sanders and John McCain

The FAST Act, which authorized $305 billion over five years in infrastructure spending

A ban on incorporating plastic microbeads into health and beauty products"

This is buried within a lot of anti-Republican language, but the irony is that the Republicans controlled BOTH houses of Congress for the last two years of the Obama administration. So, they just torpedoed their own attempt at narrative.

From the poll linked within:

----------------------------

Q3: When thinking about the next United State Senator, would you rather have someone whose first priority is helping the State of Missouri OR whose first priority is fighting the agenda of the Biden Administration?

* Help Missouri: 37%

* Fight Biden: 51%

* Not sure: 12%

----------------------------

I'm surprised to see FJB beat Help Missouri by 14 points.
