The plan for the tiny humans: |

© Giphy Via The Hill’s Nathaniel Weixel, “The White House on Wednesday unveiled its plans to vaccinate children between the ages of 5 and 11 years old, pending authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the coming weeks.” https://bit.ly/3B0CzMD The gist — not to use mass vaccination sites: “The distribution plan will rely on more than 25,000 pediatricians’ offices, community health centers, schools and pharmacies to put parents and children at ease, rather than the mass vaccination sites used in the initial rollout for adults.” Do we have enough doses? Yes!: “The Biden administration said it has purchased enough vaccines to give shots to all of the country’s 28 million children ages 5 to 11 years old.” When the FDA could authorize the vaccine for kids?: The FDA panel meets on Oct. 26. Assuming they recommend it, authorization could come just a few days after. What we know: https://bit.ly/3B0CzMD |

If ‘A’ equals ‘B’, then the square root of ‘C’ equals ‘D’: |
| “Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said late Tuesday that former White House strategist Stephen Bannon’s refusal to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Capitol riot suggests former President Trump was ‘personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6th.’ ” https://bit.ly/3ndzzrm Why: Bannon is claiming he can defy the subpoena due to executive privilege. From Cheney: "Based on the committee’s investigation, it appears that Mr. Bannon had substantial advance knowledge of the plans for Jan. 6 and likely had an important role in formulating those plans. Mr. Bannon was in the war room at the Willard on Jan. 6. He also appears to have detailed knowledge regarding the president’s efforts to sell millions of Americans the fraud that the election was stolen.” |
| |
| HAPPENING TODAY — THE HOUSE VOTE ON WHETHER TO HOLD BANNON IN CONTEMPT: |
| The House will vote today on whether to hold former Bannon in contempt for ignoring the congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot probe. https://bit.ly/30zXYQ2 |

Bernchin! Manders! Sanchin! Jernie!: |
| Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) are negotiating a deal on the social spending bill stalemate — and could have an agreement by the end of the week (!) https://bit.ly/3pl0c00 Last night: “Manchin and Sanders met for the second time this week Tuesday evening just off the Senate floor, a sign that they’re working quickly to get a deal as soon as possible.” Why this is particularly noteworthy: “Sanders and Manchin over the weekend had seemed to be at each other’s throats, with Sanders writing an op-ed in a West Virginia newspaper decrying Manchin’s position on the economic negotiations … That triggered a furious response from Manchin, who is known to dislike interventions by other politicians in his home state.” Here is Sanders’s op-ed in the Charleston Gazette-Mail: https://bit.ly/3DT4e3G |
| |
| WHAT’S BEING DISCUSSED: |
| Details of the child tax credit: Manchin wants work requirements and an income limit for who is eligible to receive the credit. Both progressives and other moderates disagree. https://bit.ly/3aRtBGS Free community college won’t be included: Progressive Democrats are agreeing to cut free community college from the bill. Full story from Bloomberg’s Emily Wilkins https://bloom.bg/2ZcNQMT |
| |
The feeling among progressives — optimism?!: |
| Via The Hill’s Mike Lillis and Scott Wong, “Progressive lawmakers emerged Tuesday from a meeting at the White House saying President Biden has taken charge of the negotiations over his sweeping domestic agenda, is offering specific spending recommendations — and has boosted the Democrats' hopes of winning an agreement in the coming weeks.” https://bit.ly/3BZ6XrZ Biden’s deadline: Biden is hoping to finalize the deal before he leaves for Glasgow on Oct. 31. |

| |
| REACTION FROM CNN’S DANA BASH, WHO SHARES A SON WITH JOHN KING: |
| “Very proud of John King not just for telling his story publicly after all these years - but why he did it. You never know who around you is immunocompromised. That is why getting vaccinated is not just important for you but for your community … thank you John but being a good dad and role model on this for our son.” Read her full Instagram post: https://bit.ly/3n9clTi |
