Yes Russia’s demands may amount to “a reassertion of Russia’s claims to droit de seigneur over its former territories.” But this piece seems to assume it won’t settle for less than its full list of demands. https://t.co/JKyY9Lv2qg

.@daveweigel asked whether there really were great centrist initiatives passed up in the push for the progs’ BBB wishlist. @DavidDayen has one–a big one: “reshoring advanced manufacturing.” It’s bipartisan, at least. … https://t.co/MF9JTNjgDm

From @DavidDayen on the left: “[M]aking BBB the only item under consideration…for the second half of 2021 did the Democrats no favor. To the contrary, it reinforced a perception of Biden and the Democrats’ impotence and a sense that they’re out of touch” https://t.co/INA2e3UIzq

Breyer: “historically the earliest announcements have been made is late March or April.” Hmm. Is it paranoid to speculate that some good Dem friend of Breyer suggested he announce NOW to…well, give Biden something to do other than lose & sink in polls? https://t.co/efZigs55xI

If *this* is the GOP plan, their best strategy is probably to NOT make a fuss about Biden’s non-majority-changing SCOTUS appointee. Handle it routinely and on to midterms. But a bunch of conservative groups have to use it to make themselves money. https://t.co/C2oPuOTxBA

In the “good” (for Biden) Fox poll, 6 percent of independents “say they would definitely reelect Biden, while 15 percent say they would probably vote to reelect him.” That’s a reelect number of 21%. Yikes. It’s not frustrated progs killing Biden’s ratings https://t.co/RXkZSKSEVd
