Yeah I'm sure Maddow was just saying, "lots of things going on this weekend, it could be a busy weekend", more than anything. With the Arizona Audit, the Trump rally, the recent bad news for Trump, that stupid movie coming out today, etc. She listed those things herself so I'm guessing that was her thought process even though it almost sounded like she expected something to happen.
You'll never not convince me that the ballot design was responsible for this loss.
Dems should really throw in a ban on opt-out recurring political donations to the elections bill.
I mean, it won't get to Biden's desk unless Pelosi gets both bills in her chamber. As long as she sticks to that, there's no issue here. Biden should just agree to work on both and leave it at that.
Nothing changed, Lizza didn't read the top of the second image he posted.
As long as she votes for the reconciliation she can say whatever she wants.
Sure, if Congress sends it to him. This is all just optics and semantics. Biden's toning down his rhetoric so that it's not him alone ensuring the bills are only passed in combination, and instead letting Pelosi take control of that. Pelosi (and Schumer) won't allow just one part to go to the White House. No one should read this is as a big deal.
GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger rejects Pence likening Trump to Ronald Reagan, says there's 'no comparison' between the two
"Trump is also one of a kind," Pence said in comparing the former president to Reagan. "He too disrupted the status quo. He challenged the establishment."

Kinzinger calls out Pence for comparing Trump to Reagan.
I don't know, I think the two are actually quite similar. But not in the way he thinks.
Both were "actors", both appealed heavily to religious nutjobs, both ignored a major health crisis, both heavily contributed to foreign enemies, both had Bill Barr cover their asses, and both had clear mental issues that their cabinet poorly attempted to cover up.
Can't wait to see Chuck Todd ask why she didn't deny being a communist or non-American.
Dems do this too. My grandma got caught up in all that last year. Was insane how many monthly automated charges she had. The whole system is designed to extract money from people like this on both sides.
Klobuchar introduced a bill to stop this, but it looks like only Dems support it for now:
Klobuchar, Durbin, Colleagues Introduce Legislation to Ban Pre-Checked Recurring Donation Boxes
Legislation will be introduced following complaints from Americans who were repeatedly charged for donations unwittingly authorized WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Chairwoman of the Senate Rules Committee with oversight over federal elections and campaign finance law, and...

Let's all point at Trump and laugh as he continues to be a threat to whatever left in this countries' democracy
Inside William Barr’s Breakup With Trump
In the final months of the administration, the doggedly loyal attorney general finally had enough.

The election stuff is the least of his misdeeds. Sure, taking calls from the Senate Majority Leader and planning with him in order to arrange a positive outcome for the party is an extremely bad look, but he did it by refuting Trump's election fraudulance calls and it would have been even worse if he hadn't done that. Barr may have refused to jump on the election fraud train for corrupt reasons, but the country would have been in even worse shape if he hadn't.
That said, the article is a clear sign of Barr trying to wipe the shit off his shoes and it shouldn't be forgotten that he was an utterly corrupt official who was more at home in a banana republic than a supposedly constitutional republic with separation of powers.
The thing about Barr was that he was happy to spread Trump's election fraud bullshit before the election. His only issue really came when overturning it was a bridge too far. Mark my words things would be different if it was just one state and a few thousand votes off.
The art of kicking the can is making it land in a place where you can't ignore it later.
$2T would be fire for a réconciliation bill, would be very happy with new investment at that level.
Manchin sounded open to it. Hopefully they can get it to 2025 like Biden originally proposed.
