THE NEW KABUKI: Dems plan to fake-pare their $3.5 T bill by labeling spending as “tax cuts” and deducting from the $3.5T to please Manchin/Synema. Is it really that simple? https://t.co/yXFHue3HuG

Not sure about that. @LATimes says 74% have been counted. In some counties (OC?) remainder seems to include many same day votes. Other counties (Yuba? Kern?) with uncounted mail-in votes seem to be anti-Newsom. https://t.co/YKEwomSyGp https://t.co/wj72jMK4Df
