The Haunted Manchin

The House passed the Respect for Marriage Act on Tuesday with bipartisan support. The law would mandate that all states recognize same-sex marriage and formally repeal the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act, which federally outlawed same-sex marriage.

Meanwhile the White House is hoping to pass a “slimmed down” version of Biden’s domestic policy bill through Congress soon. But to do it, they need the support of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin — the same man who dealt a huge blow to the President’s climate agenda last week.

And in headlines: the White House said that Russia plans to forcefully annex more Ukrainian territory, the Secret Service said it can’t recover agents’ deleted text messages from January 6th, and a judge fast-tracked Twitter’s lawsuit against Elon Musk.
