.@NPR national news (the summary on the hour) just covered the opening of an EV charging station in Kentucky. Good grief.

EJ: “So when offered the chance to give hard-working lower-income parents a bit of a boost, why not seize the opportunity?”

Except that Dems (& you) support a tax credit that explicitly is NOT restricted to workers. It’s a straight dole. No work required. https://t.co/bdDy1gi6L6

Would also affirm that he believes he has the power to act without Schumer’s loophole-vitiated border “shut down” bill …

Would also confirm that WH thinks that just relying on “GOPs Blocked the Wonderful Schumer Bill” won’t cut much ice in November.

I bet he doesn’t do it. https://t.co/0Gd3Ii3V2U

“Slow early stage of shift …relax some elements.” This doesn’t sound like a minor adjustment or concession to unions. If they’re putting off the mandatory ramp up until after 2030 it’s a huge retreat, no? https://t.co/WPhyIAAJYc

Alternative possibility: Voters aren’t going to remember who voted for a particular one of many complicated border bills. But they *will* remember the Democrats new we’re-so-tough rhetoric on the border, and they’ll expect them to live up to it. https://t.co/a75RfULMJK

Note this is the second time the seemingly hapless McConnell’s been conned recently by Schumer: Remember the Build Back Better switcheroo, when Dems waited until McConnell passed the CHIPS act to reveal that Manchin would cast the key vote for part of BBB? https://t.co/do29ilF0Jn https://t.co/EKbskRWIv7

The bill mandates that aliens “SHALL BE RELEASED” if they merely indicate an “intention” to apply for asylum. That’s an invitation for millions more to come. They’ll get in!

Why crap? Eg Murphy’s bill MANDATES that aliens at the border “shall be released.” They don’t even have to show “credible fear” of persecution, merely an “intention to apply” for asylum or something else. They get in! It’s worse than current law. Not the “toughest” anything. https://t.co/Y5QCZcHqHy https://t.co/S9X0W7LW0O

Moderates were “eager to support” the Murphy/Sinema/Lankford “Shall Be Released” bill? This bodes ill for the “bipartisan” proposal moderates say they are about to unveil. Obviously many are more focused on positioning than actually fixing the border. https://t.co/ENFVGGoVEc
