The NY Times put a spin on that by saying "Democrats voted to kill
assistance to workers displaced by global trade" thus trying to make the
Democrats look bad. But these bills are far worse than that. This was
just one of several trade bills that need to be quashed.

deals that cannot be amended or filibustered by Congress — before it
could even come to a final vote."

What was in the trade bill/bills that was upsetting so many people? I
know it's been freaking people out for a while but never investigated
to see what was up. I figured we're doomed anyway, LOL.
