Want a good leftish idea? Here’s a good leftish idea. Guarantee people WPA-style jobs, not no-strings checks. https://t.co/3f58bjtMlO Would make “work tests” hard to argue against. PS Public employee unions hate it. (FDR had to break a strike to maintain WPA.)

Hello? Saying she “at least for the moment.. is opposing” the tax increases (Story #1) is not the same as saying “she will not accept any corporate or income tax rate increases.” (Story #2)

Story #1 says she might negotiate. Story #2 says she’ll tank the bill. https://t.co/qo4vYyN2pu

So has Pelosi tacitly abandoned mainly-progressive idea of locking down Senate on the big bill before House passes both bills? Or does she have some secret trick-eg delaying vote on bills? Passing smaller bill but sitting on it (without sending to Biden)? Maybe I’ve missed answer https://t.co/aPOafG6rnz

PITY VOTE: At this point Biden *wants* people to think his presidency’s hanging by a thread, even though it’s not–as predicted (https://t.co/YNiAvhwfvU) his pitch to Congress is becoming ‘You have to give me this or it’s another Failed President.” That usually works! https://t.co/aY9Ke163WB

Especially weird since we’re always told the Expanded Child Tax Credit is popular (except when it isn’t https://t.co/FrNYA4OcnC) Maybe Pelosi’s seen the same polls Kevin McCarthy’s seen–about the popularity of sending checks to non-workers– & doesn’t want to drag down the bill? https://t.co/fcozEMOEoL

Weird that in her letter touting benefits of $3.5T BBB reconciliation bill Pelosi doesn’t mention “refundable Child Tax Credit” even though it’s supposedly a favorite of hers. Did something happen to it? Or does she think it needs stealth treatment?https://t.co/dolUWqRjRT

First @MrWalterShapiro https://t.co/IkK4WqAEmD, now @StarrProspect. Did Democrats take so long to talk about the weakness of Biden’s message because they knew they could count on the MSM to be supportive (“transformational”) however uninspiring it was? https://t.co/f8ayEM7XO9
