@HayesBrown I get it, no offense meant to you, but it *would've* been an add to the package if they had understood the situation from the get go and not assumed he'd throw them a life raft, but now they've wound down the clock in a self-damaging way that could cost the package, yeah.
@DonFSchneider So there’s zero chance than in opening the budget resolution back up to revise the instructions and include a provision for a standalone debt ceiling bill that it delays or impedes the rest of the instructions?

@HayesBrown It’s ok. I should’ve been more charitable to you in my first tweet.
@HayesBrown Sorry I didn’t see the additional comments in your thread. If Ds want to do a standalone debt limit reconciliation bill that’s available to them and shouldn’t present challenges. It’s an inconvenience in terms of time but it’s not like the rec bill is going to be ready by 10/18
This is the best evidence yet that a vote tomorrow on the bi-partisan infrastructure package is in serious doubt. A LOT would have to happen to get to a place tomorrow where everyone is in agreement on legislative text on reconciliation.

Huh. In the last 15 minutes re: debt ceiling, each to reporters:

They are each the #2 Democrat in their chamber.
We’re weirdly all moving passed Milley agreeing that he wanted to keep US troops in Afghanistan indefinitely.
That’s a policy recommendation he clearly advocated and that no one is asking him about his reasoning is telling and depressing.
Gen. Milley: Taliban only complied with 1 out of 8 terms of the Doha agreement signed by the Taliban and Trump administration. 13,000 U.S. troops were in Afghanistan when deal signed on Feb. 29, 2020. That number went down to 2,500 by Inauguration Day.

@DonFSchneider Okay, that's good to know. Also why I'm glad I just tweeted about this instead of putting it in an essay that would just be out there and only partially right at best
@LPDonovan Because on the one hand, a debt ceiling bill doesn’t cancel the tax/spending bill. But on the other hand, there’s apparently no guarantee that revising the budget res with debt ceiling instructions doesn’t mess with the tax/spending bill’s framework. Is that right?
@LPDonovan Okay I’ve been trying to figure out what percentage wrong I was in my original tweet since I sent it and I’m hovering somewhere around 30 percent

Another take, which I won't link to, arguing that we should amend Section 230 to prohibit "misinformation." This sounds appealing, but it is not practical because the First Amendment (for good reason) protects a good deal of lies.
I've had a lot of conversations about online speech over the past few years, and it's a bit unsettling to see an increased willingness, across the political spectrum, to give the executive branch and the judiciary the ability to censor speech that it deems false.

Now you might say, "misinformation is a huge problem now, so we need to rethink 1A protections for lies." First, related to that premise, I'd encourage everyone to read @Bernstein's excellent article in Harpers.
Second, if you are concerned about the harms of false speech, consider not only how the current government would use its new powers to designate and ban "misinformation," but how a future, more authoritarian government would use those powers (no turning back once you erode 1A).

A follow-up here: there’s been a lot of talk about how media/fans should be paying more attention to the 90% of NBA players who are vaxx’d and not the minority who aren’t. I disagree with that because, in a pandemic, that minority can still cause a lot of hell for everyone else https://t.co/9gFnr4mRqJ
I think it’s entirely appropriate to remind people that an overwhelming majority of players, most of them black, have been vaccinated at rates far above the general public. That’s great. But 10% of any population that isn’t vaccinated can still create lots of problems.

Here's @davidlfear's take on Many Saints. As I've said, I'll have a whole lot of Sopranos Sessions-style spoiler thoughts on the movie publishing after the movie's out on Friday, but David and I are on the same page about a lot of this fascinating brew of a movie. https://t.co/wD58Vy5kIK
LeBron James just said the game is not won "in the newspaper" — which is how you know this team is old.

Anthony Davis: "I think everybody on the team is vaccinated, if I'm not mistaken. We all have families. I did it for my family. ... I just wanted to make sure I'm always protecting my family, first and foremost."
The Cooper Kupp TD route was so insane on Sunday, it gets its own 3 minute breakdown from Golden Tate and me.
"It's magical."

Kyle Juszczyk, on w/ us, on criticism he should have gone down at the 1 yl: "I'm disappointed at (the reaction). There are plays I want back, I promise you that's not one of them. You don't get to choose in NFL when you get to score. That was one of the bigger plays of my career"
There are a lot of ridiculous 49ers takes on Twitter, but the "Juszczyk should have made his body go limp at the half yard line" take rules them all. https://t.co/SJpcGMLSPD

Kyle Juszczyk scoring wasn’t an issue. He deserves to be praised for making that play. You don’t pass up the opportunity to take the lead, assuming you’ll be able to score afterwards.
But snapping the ball with 12 seconds left on the play clock? That’s a problem. #49ers https://t.co/mpa2GlgZDW

To be clear, the 17K figure is removals of ALL nationalities.
Historical data here, page 21: https://t.co/fdtG1QpiAf
One caveat: it is believed that most of the 4K removals of Haitians are through Title 42 though it is unclear if any are through a different process.
To give a sense of scale:
It is believed that the expulsions of Haitians are through Title 42, which allows for quick deportations.
There have been nearly 4,000 expulsions via flight to Haiti since Sep. 19.
From March to September last yr ICE expelled via flight 17,000 people.

#49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk absolutely made the right play scoring the TD late. Was a hell of an effort to get in, actually.
Fair game to discuss the 1. defense, 2. management of the clock. Take the play clock down another 10 or so seconds, do a kick off that forces a return, etc.
