More beating of tom-toms of doom for Klain. https://t.co/TZ3UEcodfn Klain seems to be trying the “Hey, I’ll leave after the midterms” gambit. Problem: that doesn’t convey message to voters that Biden knows there’s a problem and is shaking things up. https://t.co/LyuRgusSgM

Another “inside” account with no indication of internecine WH staff arguments (there have to be some). But *someone*’s leaking re: Biden’s moods https://t.co/LyuRguKt8k

Says Biden disdained Manchin’s offer because it didn’t include the potentially disastrous “child tax credit” dole. Big mistake. Liberal drive for no-work welfare sabotages another presidency. https://t.co/2uqJXsJwrl

Blames BLS (for understimate of 2021 job growth). Skeptical. Maybe Fed was deceived, but Biden administration’s mistake seems to have been made much earlier, with Rescue Act, no? https://t.co/ZycywcuZm1

“[Trump’s] more terrifying to Republican elected officials and party operatives because of the Georgia and Alabama results. The bear is scary. The wounded bear is scarier.” https://t.co/qrIrZ4pifQ

Dunno but these aren’t clunkers. These are often well-preserved cars you can smell half a mile away. I usually smell them way before I see them. https://t.co/hCbKZVyk0s

Clearly the most cost-effective anti-pollution measure would be for the government to buy every older @MercedesBenz diesel in the U S and crush them into small cubes.

“You’re a broke loser!” is an odd charge, especially from the anti-meritocratic left. And, as de Boer notes, if you counter by explaining why you’re in fact doing allright, you sound like a douche and get it from the other side. Walking a tightrope, I tell you.

Seems wrong. US system often conspires to prevent action on positions that are very popular. Popularists could advocate them. Welfare reform was highly popular, but it took 50 years. Ditto actual immigration regulation, which hasn’t happened yet. May not be positions Heer likes. https://t.co/zs0itU8QYl

Biden’s initial decision to let Title 42 lapse is having a big effect, even if it was blocked by a judge. It prompted a wave of migrants to journey to the border and they’re apparently going to try to cross even if Title 42 is formally still in place. https://t.co/BBEGKvfehD

Don’t understand this story. Tucker Carlson’s son seems to be 24 and works in politics. Why’s he out of bounds? He can defend himself (if there were any charge in this piece that needed defending against, which I don’t see). https://t.co/FKBW7fsVFf
