Senate Republicans block bipartisan Jan 6 commission bid
Senate Republicans mobilize to defeat a special commission modeled after 9/11 to probe the Jan 6 Capitol attack. McConnell argues the panel would be partisan, while Democrats press for accountability as police officers and relatives urge action. The vote tests the filibuster and Biden agenda amid a 50 50 Senate split.

It relies on more than 3 trillion in tax increases over a decade to fund sweeping social programs and child care, while debt would grow to exceed the economy.
