Good News!!!!
 

Senate Democrats delivered a blow to President Barack Obama today when they blocked debate on a major trade bill that the White House has championed.

  

 On a 52-45 vote, the measure fell short of the 60 votes needed. 

  

 The rare filibuster by members of the President's own party speaks to the divisive nature of the bill.

  

 Opposition to the measure, which would allow for quick approval of the 12-country, free-trade agreement known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has been building among progressive Democrats for some time.

  

 Many Democrats and some Republicans believe past trade deals have hurt the U.S. economy and led to jobs moving overseas.
