Socialists threaten to tank Senate infrastructure bill without $3.5 trillion spending bill passage

JustTheNews: Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, chair of the 96-member House Progressive Caucus, said every Democrat in the House who supports the Senate-passed $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill is going to have to vote for $3.5 trillion of social spending.
