    Some 25-year old probably getting called into the office right now and being fired...for accurately reporting on politics.

    Sometimes you just need to call and ask him what the hell is happening in Congress.

    I’ve been seeing lots of these clips on TikTok and a big museum should really make a traveling exhibition out of them Proposed exhibit names: The 1900s in 4K 🎥 A Black and White World, Now in Color

    There are always drafting errors in bills, which lawmakers can typically try to address with a "technical corrections" bill. Likely won't be an option this time (just as R's blocked efforts to amend/fix ACA for years)

    There are a lot of tough choices here but the answer is #1, do a few things well. Lesson of the ACA is you don’t get much of a chance to go back and fix the flaws

    Differences b/w net cost vs. gross cost (w/hypothetical figures) Net cost = Revenue raisers - Spending initiatives ($2 trillion in new taxes - $2.3 trillion in spending = $300B) Gross cost = Total cost of bill without accounting for tax offsets Latter is where we are on D bill

    Gonna be thinking about this piece through Oct. As D’s flesh out revenue raisers/spending provisions/tax cuts in reconciliation package, its *net cost* will be far below $3.5T Flying under the radar is bill can’t add more than $1.75T to deficit

    NEW from me and : R’s ready to drag out debt limit hike in bid to derail D spending plans. Sen. John Cornyn: "I don't mind seeing them burn up some floor time on reconciliation so it makes it less likely they’ll pass their reckless spending bill”

    Insider columnist has not surprisingly already weighed in: Democrats need to pick a small number of priorities, do them well, fund them fully — and toss the rest of the reconciliation package

    This part could be just as, if not more important than debate surrounding top-line figure. Many D’s betting new benefit programs will become too popular for GOP to eliminate But initiatives may also be easier to scrap if they barely get off the ground or prove to be ineffective

    This choice does not really seem ideological tells me Ds should drop low priorities rather than try to do everything calls for planting many seeds & seeing what grows, citing New Deal in camp 1; in 2

    D’s are still refusing to raise debt limit through reconciliation. Process would require D’s to specify a number, which R’s seek as political weapon Sen. Ron Johnson: “[Democrats] need to put a number to it… that’s why they have to use reconciliation”

    The GOP’s political gambit is pushing US closer to potentially devastating default in weeks. R’s still not inclined to make reconciliation easier for D’s. Would include barrage of votes in 2 vote-a-ramas Cruz/Romney said there would be GOP amendments

    NEW from me: State-level erosion of American democracy, what we've been calling election subversion, is fully taking root in key states at every step of the process — and w/ the 2022 midterms just months away, Congress is largely helpless to stop it

    Stay tuned on this 👀

    Really interesting perspective that grew out of a Tim Kaine interview I recently did (means-testing free community college is on the table) "For those unfamiliar with the phrase, 'means testing' is the art of limiting the possible"

    Manchin has said that he wants to include means testing in the reconciliation bill. But - Some programs already include means testing - Some programs are intended to be universal I wrote about how further means testings could cut costs - and also backfire.
