The prior Session of Congress ended.
All positions at that conclusion are frozen across the interim.

The new Session begins in the Senate upon the agreement of 100 Senators in consent of the Rules which shall govern Senators during the new Session.

McConnell ( +Reptards) refuses to consent new Rules which Schumer proposed to be the Rules used last time.
Which is standard Senate procedure.
That is, Senate session begins with perfunctory unanimous consent to adopt Rules of the Senate as were adopted last time. And under those Rules, proceed.

McConnell &minions are refusing adoption of Rules.
Until Schumer agrees to a licensure of Schumer's prerogatives imposed by McConnell.
That is, the Session cannot begin until Schumer agrees to subordinate his leadership within restriction(s) shall McConnell invoke.

PressWatchers.org details and explains better than do I this standoff.

It is a simple enough tactic to understand, even unto the 'common sense,' 'reasonable' person. Coercion.

Yet no reporter anywhere, (looking at you, too, Charlie), has seen the something and said the something.

The Senate is frozen in committee assignments, Reptard chairs yet holding onto their gavels from last Session, and stays ineffective until Rules of the Session are agreed. McConnell refuses to adopt rules except by acceding his demand(s) conditioning adoption.

Dear Lord let some media voice somewhere report this hangup far and wide and understood, and so to strike McConnell full-force in greetings of the Lord. 'You, sir, are depraved and unworthy among humankind.'

Pressure McConnell.

Whatever 'pressure' is.

Want to see some relentless without fanfare improvements and accomplishments.

I see signs early.

So refreshing to see Biden's white house press Sec. take one of those mean partisan, enemy of the people media types ask the ridiculous question.
:Where is the bi partisanship? Where is the Biden equivalent of the Obama republican cabinet Sec. and how is any of Biden's agenda bi partisan.
Biden White House press sec. takes the question, answers it without maliace. IGetting out the vaccine to end the pandemic and stop the deaths, getting kids back in school, ridding the virus to get our economy moving, providing Unemployment insurance, getting Americans back to work are agenda issues Biden put forth for Congress and I do not think they are Democratic issues only that republicans )Americans_ want to see resolve on these issues. Do you think they are political partisan issues?

personally, I am already impressed with this Press sec. The info she releases and her exchanges with the press corps that have still much scorn from me for so much of their nonsensical dire questions.
No, I have no remorse if OAN, Newsmax or even FOX are not provided white House press passes.
Americans can go to Parlor that Russia funded to get back operating for the insurrectionist republican violent Putin is now the chosen one information.

While the rest of America can receive decent levels of information from the White House.

Never did the press inquire during the first months of the GOP control of their "congressional review" to erase as much of Obama they could".
A lot of the print media was there and made a difference.

What is winning without achievements? let us Achieve, accomplish that which we voted with hopes for.
