North American bus company Greyhound was put up for sale Thursday by U.K.-based FirstGroup, Reuters reports.

Why it matters, via Axios' Dan Primack: Greyhound remains an integral part of North American travel, with around 17 million riders per year, but has struggled to combat competition from low-cost airlines and cheap automobile gas.

Details: FirstGroup is selling Greyhound and will spin off its U.K. operator First Bus to relieve shareholder pressure.

  • FirstGroup bought Greyhound in 2007 for $3.6 billion.

Why it matters: The legislation overhauls qualified immunity for police officers, bans chokeholds at the federal level, prohibits no-knock warrants in federal drug cases and outlaws racial profiling.

Senate Republicans plan to exact pain before COVID relief vote

Republicans are demanding a full, 600-page bill reading — and painful, multi-hour "vote-a-rama" — as Democrats forge ahead with their plan to pass President Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package.

Why it matters: The procedural war is aimed at forcing Democrats to defend several parts the GOP considers unnecessary and partisan. While the process won't substantially impact the final version of the mammoth bill, it'll provide plenty of ammunition for future campaign messaging.
