\nQuote – The ex-kingpin said that, although he had not heard of any plans to house Bannon in his prison cell, he was speaking \u201cout of an abundance of caution.\u201d… El Chapo\u2019s sentiments have been echoed by the nation\u2019s prison population, two million of whom have signed a petition refusing to share their cells with Bannon.

\nQuote – \u201cThis fella was wanting to buy the ring back,\u2019\u2019 Blaker said. \u201cI bought it fair and square. He thinks I should let him have and him send me the money,\u2019\u2019 Blaker said. \u201cI don\u2019t trust anybody anymore. I\u2019ve been screwed around on deals like this.\u201d Blaker said they didn\u2019t initially agree on the price. Stanton called him again. \u201cHe was preying on my sympathy I guess and said, \u2018Well that was my wife\u2019s wedding ring,\u2019\u2019’ Blaker said. \u201cI said, \u2018Well, I\u2019ve changed my mind. I don\u2019t want to get rid of anything.\u2019\u2019

\nQuote – And it\u2019s exactly these big moments\u2014when Sanders and like-minded Democrats express their endless frustration with Manchin\u2014that help him burnish the gadfly credentials needed for a Democrat to survive in a state that went for Donald Trump in 2020 by 38 points. So, despite visits from angry kayakers, millions of dollars spent on ad campaigns pressuring him, thousands of calls to his office, and countless meetings with various constituents, Manchin has so far not budged a dollar on the Democrats\u2019 signature legislation. If anything, he\u2019s doubled down.
