0:25.6	Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Thursday, November 4, 2021.
0:29.4	Today, Republican Glen Yanken wins Virginia, but Dems do pretty well everywhere else.
0:35.2	House Democrats are putting paid family leave back into the budget reconciliation plan.
0:39.6	Senate Republicans filibuster voting rights for the fourth time.
0:43.6	And Merrick Garland drops a pair of Trump legal challenges that blocked federal benefits for
