Hard to reconcile the @nytimes’ pep-talk front-page headline (“At State Level, An Awakening for Democrats”) with @BlakeHounsell’s actual piece, which is grimly realistic about the awakening that was supposed to happen after 2016. https://t.co/ibM0K48qh4 https://t.co/YiwSYcAcyy

What is it with “small” two bedroom apartments in Venice? They’re now the East Coast journalists’ symbol that you’ve hit the skids?** Do you know what they want for a 2-bedroom in Venice?

“And I wonder if a lot of people aren’t worrying that there’s been some quiet but fundamental shift in expectations set in place during the pandemic—that you don’t really have to work anymore”
That is certainly the message of Biden’s “refundable” CTC https://t.co/9wWBqyR52I

There are limits to how much we can tax even rich people. If we raise taxes & piss it away on unneeded $3,600 “tax credit” checks for $100K families & complex, badly designed child care plans, it won’t be there when liberals need it for something important-like universal Medicare https://t.co/ShQzvalbMv

Also, if we’re going to raise taxes by as much as fully funding BBB would take, we better get something really big for it (like Medicare (not Medicaid) for All) and not the half-crap grab bag of second-tier programs in BBB. https://t.co/dDTct5HvT0

Biden’s failure to push for treatments is surprising. Does he think it’ll detract from a pro-vax push-ie voters are dumb? But one reason to get vaxxed is to delay infection until treatment’s available. And vaxxed want treatments if they get infected.https://t.co/HbJqjUNhn2
