"Republicans can’t even support a child tax credit." Best news I've heard all day.** You can't be populist without supporting a permanent dole for non-working families? https://t.co/3OZmaFvpg0

It's definitely not just families, or unaccompanied children. Also single adults (i.e. men looking for work) https://t.co/S0wO9JyZbj https://t.co/k0Q36xKGJF

That means BOTH parties have an interest in hyping the severity of Georgia's new law: Dems to stampede Congress into ending filibuster, GOPS to convince their skittish voters it's worth voting–'See the tough new law we passed.'

Gets around to a valuable insight in penultimate paragraph: GOP must *appear* to be tightening election laws to solve their base-won't-vote-cause-they-think-it's-rigged problem.
This may be way more important to them than actually lowering the Dem vote. https://t.co/XkjnKqMTg1

The most disputed provisions-ending "no excuse" mail ballots, banning Sunday early voting, were dropped. The harshest provision (voter ID requirements) may well be overruled by courts.

This is a good question: Have "credible fear" hearings disappeared? 70% or so used to pass, But what happens now to the 30% who fail? (This might apply to families with children, for example. Not to single adults who are being turned away under Title 42). @JessicaV_CIS @DLind https://t.co/kx3kJynfw1
