The Dems dropped the crazy stuff from Build Back Better–eg government takeover of child care, huge new dole, giant immigration amnesty. That’s great, except it will help them retain power, and then they’ll try to pass the crazy stuff again.

I thought a staple of Hollywood screenwriting courses is the revelation that there is no such thing as a “letter of transit” (but moviegoers don’t care if you keep the plot boiling). Everything will now have to be rethought. https://t.co/nPCOI4bpDc https://t.co/GKOf766ZIV

GOP leaders (eg McCarthy) are avoiding making a populist case against Biden’s open immigration policies–despite polls showing that would be popular among moderate & independent voters. Party leaders apparently prefer to please business donors and sit on their (alleged) lead. https://t.co/A521f1E0rJ
