Yes, for sure that is driving this. But her previous pro-Palestine positions will also be a liability for her. Maybe she's starting to realize this as she starts to move to higher office.

“The argument that you often hear is that if you do something that is perceived as against Trump that, you’ll put yourself in political peril,” said Liz Cheney.
Lol, we have two massive infrastructure bills that are in danger of failing because corporate Dems are trying to reneg on previous promises promisesi in ordeer to appease their donors, and yet we're still primarily focused on the loser ex-president who's been out of power for nearly 10 months.

A federal judge granted the Justice Department a temporary injunction late Wednesday, blocking the enforcement of Texas' strict abortion law.
U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman issued the order, which will block the state from enforcing law, known as S.B. 8, which was passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in September that the law could be enforced while legal challenges are pending.
"From the moment S.B. 8 went into effect, women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their lives in ways that are protected by the Constitution," Pitman said in his ruling. "That other courts may find a way to avoid this conclusion is theirs to decide; this Court will not sanction one more day of this offensive deprivation of such an important right."
Pitman also said the Texas Legislature “contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme” to enact a near-total ban on abortions in the state.
Is that 16 Trillion number just completely made up for a shocking tweet? The article doesn't mention it, and I think the bank bailouts of 2009 were in the 700 billion range and it was mostly or fully recovered.

Ironically what the bankers mostly did that destroyed the economy was to enable poor people to get on the housing ladder

No they didn't. You aren't on a ladder if you can't afford it. What they did was convince people they were getting on the housing ladder by giving them false hope they could afford it. Then they took all of the payments, and the houses and a bailout while leaving all these people on the "housing ladder" out in the cold.
Its like trying to say all Bernie Madoff did was get people onto the investing ladder.

Actually what the banks did was similar to a ponzi scheme.
They got millions of Americans to buy into an inflated housing market and let the poor suckers (literally poor) think that this would be their ticket to getting rich. Then they pulled the rug out from under them.
Tricking someone into thinking they “deserve” wealth when their property inexplicably quadruples in value is a sure fire way to rob them blind.

actually the very poor lost nothing, they put no money down, got a year or so of zero interest living in a house they could never afford to rent and then walked away after when it all went tits up, you could argue they took a hit on their credit rating but they never had credit in the first place, it was the dumb middle class that paid, not the poor or the rich
A) Sirota is a Bernie bros, the shot at the Dems isn't a surprise

The audit of the Fed’s emergency lending programs was scarcely reported by mainstream media - albeit the results are undoubtedly newsworthy. It is the first audit of the Fed in United States history since its beginnings in 1913. The findings verify that over $16 trillion was allocated to corporations and banks internationally, purportedly for “financial assistance” during and after the 2008 fiscal crisis.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) amended the Wall Street Reform law to audit the Fed, pushing the GAO to step in and take a look around. Upon hearing the announcement that the first-ever audit would take place in July, the media was bowled over and nearly every broadcast network and newspaper covered the story. However, the audit’s findings were almost completely overlooked, even with a number as high as $16 trillion staring all of us in the face.

B) Dems aren't rejecting the plan, 2 kinda-sorta Dems are, when it suits their needs: Sinema and Manchin. Sinema has turned into a joke, imo.
There are some house Dems who are also pushing against it (e.g. Gottheimer) but, yes, she sucks. She's been completely bought by the pharma lobby. Also, this:

You don't think the bailouts impacted budgets and funding for government services, infrastructure, etc.?

In Kentucky and Florida? maybe reduced the budget for armoured cars for the cops, the states dont do crap for their poor whether they have money or not
