Looks like Dems taxing plans are in retreat across the board. Will now “generate close to $1 trillion over 10 years.” But their big “transformative” soft infra bill is $3.5 trillion. I sense a mismatch.

‘Even if I get COVID it’s likely to be mild, because I’m vaxxed!’ Many of us comfor ourselves with this thought. But there’s evidence even mild COVID causes cognitive decline — see here https://t.co/WFZPovb1qL

“Path to America”–Axios basically assumes the 80,000 Afghans evacuated so far are destined for the U.S.. Seems like it should be at least debated whether, once they’ve been taken to a safe country, they *all* have a de facto right to come *here* https://t.co/FllE3ddwBr #axiosam

Even if Pelosi delays sending it, she’s obviously going to send it at some point. (Is she going to rip it up like Trump’s speech?) Moderates will already have what they need: knowledge that bipartisan bill will be law & they can now drive hard bargain on reconciliation. 6/7
