Biden looks to Congress to force deal on railroad workers

It's a national security issue and this is the only option, but yes, Biden should be leaning on the rail companies to offer a better deal as well.

Republicans will side with anyone they have to in order to hurt Democrats and ensure a disaster happens on their watch. It's all cynicism. If this potential strike was happening under Trump, these same Republicans would be calling for the return of the Pinkertons.

When did Gillibrand and Hickenlooper start voting with Sanders, Warren, and Merkley?

Gillibrand has been doing it for a while, at least since the beginning of the Trump administration. Hickenlooper is much more of a surprise.

 Gillibrand has been pushing for Universal Paid leave of some kind for years now. So this is right up her alley.

Same thing with Hickenlooper.

I imagine both of them also knew the votes were there to ensure it passed and wanted to make a statement. Probably Merkley as well.
