Biden said he would take executive actions on climate measures if Congress failed to act
He urged the Senate to send him legislation on Medicare prescription drug pricing, signaling he would accept a narrow bill
Manchin denied pulling out of talk even while confirming aspects of reports
An official said Thursday that Manchin told Schumer he will only support a measure limited to curbing pharmaceutical prices
The official who described the talks was not authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity
Manchin's demands leave the measure's future unclear and upend party leaders' hopes for a more sweeping package they had wanted to push through Congress
Last December, Manchin derail his party's bigger and wider-ranging social and environment package
His move was another gut punch to Democrats, and followed a report of record 9.1 inflation in July
Manchin has long cited inflation in negotiations over a pared back deal from what was once Biden's 'Build Back Better' plan

Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Jefferson Smith: You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that . - MR Smith Goes To Washington-
