Republicans Block $1 Trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill
------------------------------------------------------------

Senate Republicans have blocked a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure
bill from moving ahead, but Democrats say the bill is not yet dead. All
50 Republicans voted against the measure after accusing Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer of rushing the process. The legislation includes
almost $600 billion in new spending on public works projects, including
money for roads and broadband.
