In the VA gubernatorial debate, Glenn Youngkin reiterates his opposition to vaccine mandates. Choice! But kids in schools don't have choice if there’s no mandate and if their teacher isn’t vaccinated. Patients in hospitals don't have choice if their nurse isn’t vaccinated.

There is no reason to require a super-majority to raise the debt limit. Quite the contrary. It's an invitation to irresponsibility and hostage taking. So modify the filibuster for the debt ceiling. Then later for democracy. https://t.co/UCYoi23wgu

"How Alarmed Should We Be?" We should be very alarmed. We can reassure ourselves that American democracy is solid & Trump a 2nd-rate demagogue.

Or if Republicans don’t “allow” Democrats to suspend the debt limit on their own, Democrats could just do it on their own by changing filibuster rules so a debt limit suspension (and a CR, I’d say) can’t be filibustered. No reason they should be allowed to be. https://t.co/0ngrdVH2wn

@GetHappy1979 @InezFeltscher @BlueBoxDave Heard it all over the country during my pre-pandemic book travels. Cable and the internet have put two cultures in proximity to each other and one has become obsessed with the other - and angry that the obsession isn't returned.

@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher That's because (if you read stuff I write) conservatives begin from a more uniform online ecosystem. They break fewer conflicting friendships because they start with fewer of them to begin with. But that's not about "elites," that's about people within the same classes.

@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:42:54 +0000 2021
@TimothyAlvis @InezFeltscher Exactly. But it does create a synergy, a feedback loop. It's no different than the FB algorithm that gives you more of what you clicked on.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:41:49 +0000 2021
@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher Sure. But I'm telling you that people writing about politics are not the daily experience of Yale TAs in the English Department. One of the things that makes the Trumpers crazy is that they feel ignored by the cultural elites, and they're not wrong about that.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:39:39 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher I think I've got it exactly right and the goalposts - my contempt for the people who push this poison and my anguish at the people who buy it - is right where we were 20 minutes ago.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:38:13 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher It's people searching for others to put a label on their inner emptiness and scapegoat others for it. Wealthy old people who want to be told that their rage is not the result of impending mortality but because commie perverts are taking over their beloved America.

@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:31:30 +0000 2021
@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher I don't think it's purely virtuous on either side, I'm just telling you that one group in America spends a lot of time obsessing about the other - and a big part of that obsession is that their attention isn't returned.

@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher They think it about a lot. They just don't sit around saying "I wonder what a guy who owns an Applebee's in Illinois thinks of me."

@InezFeltscher @BlueBoxDave Huh. Having spent 35 years in education, including several as a TA, and with multiple TAs working for me every year, I will see your "personal experience" and suggest mine is more recent and more accurate.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:23:38 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher That's an assumption on your part. I save my contempt mostly for the people who feed them propaganda, but I *do* insist they're responsible for their choices. (That used to be a conservative thing.)

@BlueBoxDave @InezFeltscher I don't know how to break it to you that those TAs rarely think about the auto dealers. They're busy. (You might even say that's a failing of their environment; they just don't think about whether a car dealer in Lima hates them, but that car dealer knows where Yale is.)

@InezFeltscher If writing a book trying to figure out why so many ordinary Americans have turned into raging nihilists is an "obsession," okay then. Suggest you read it before deciding what conclusions I reached.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:18:54 +0000 2021
@janecoaston @InezFeltscher Of course they do. But the resentment in modern America is about different markers of *status* rather than power. Trump is the avatar here: all the power in the world and yet marinated in resentments about a particular stratum of society that would never accept him.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:17:24 +0000 2021
@InezFeltscher I know that's a comforting thought. It's not remotely the reality of my life - but I understand it helps you to valorize and excuse the well-off people seething with hate for no other reason than their own boredom and emptiness.
@RadioFreeTom -- Wed Sep 29 14:13:50 +0000 2021
@janecoaston @InezFeltscher And yet the guy who owns the dealerships seethes with anger about the writer. In a busier world 30 years ago, he wouldn't care, but now he knows what you write and has the time to send you hate mail.

The rate doesn't really matter for my point so long as it is above zero. And it's obviously above zero for a lot of companies. Sure, there's room for nuance, but Psaki is the one who rejects it when she says this concern is "unfair and absurd." It's neither. https://t.co/ijzDAQqyau

Manchin may suck but he's predictable, a known quantity. There's a level of haircut he'll require on recon bill and then it moves forward. It's a matter of finding that number. Sinema, it's become increasingly clear, is a 'calls are coming from inside the house' type situation.

This seems unsurprising and I think OBVIOUSLY the case. Manchin is an obstacle and is going to force the total number down. But Sinema seems like the one who may actually sink everything. She's never been acting in good faith thru the whole process. https://t.co/yXjjgUGY22

4/ maybe it’s possible to pull it off where they pass the BIF and gave a path to still getting the recon bill. But if it’s just hope and no plan kill the BIF.
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 04:02:40 +0000 2021
3/ Getting stiffed on the recon bill and providing the votes for Sinemas vanity project will show a weakness that will be devastating to the Dem coalition. Better to vote the BIF down. Kill it.
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 04:02:40 +0000 2021
2/ which was: no. No help, no negotiations, no counter. Nothing. This is what I mean by losing well vs losing badly. Choosing the former often means you don’t lose at all. Bush’s plan collapsed. But you can lose in ways that are devastating beyond the immediate loss.
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 04:02:39 +0000 2021
Back in 2004/05 Bush tried to partially abolish social security. GOP controlled the whole govt. they cld do it if they wanted to. Many Dems were saying they had to negotiate, come up with a counter, limit the damage etc. the eventually came round to the right approach …

2/ indeed more business friendly Dems in blue areas will be replaced by more progressive Dems. at one level these folks don’t care abt the internal coalition challenges of the Dem party. But more interesting to me is how few even get this at all.
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 03:48:36 +0000 2021
One irony of the moment is I hear repeatedly abt biz lobbyists saying straightforwardly they want the BIF bad and want the recon bill to collapse. That’s ideal outcome. They don’t seem to grasp that if that happens all the remaining “mods” will lose their seats.
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 03:42:33 +0000 2021
this is right. and for various reasons I think it’s better to kill the BIF than to risk BIF and nothing else. If you’re going to lose you need to lose well than lose badly. Getting jerked around with BIF bill is losing badly. https://t.co/TTxircrAHU

@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 01:19:32 +0000 2021
@ericowensdc Truly a mystery. But the best I can figure is that she is trying to carve out a McCain type role for herself in AZ. And bucking her party, not being a traditional lib is what gets her there. Add to that she has a wild political past. So to a degree I think she thinks she ...
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 01:17:23 +0000 2021
5/ lobbyist pals are telling them. Usually that's BS. There's more chicken and egg than that. With Sinema, I get the sense that may be much closer to the truth. In any case, if I were up there negotiating I too would be most worried about her.
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 01:17:23 +0000 2021

@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 01:17:23 +0000 2021
3/ You wld not at all have predicted Sinema wld play this role. She's off on this quest to brand herself the bipartisan maverick back home for a number of reasons. Ironically this seems like a total misread of the political moment. She's probably a one termer.
@joshtpm -- Wed Sep 29 01:17:23 +0000 2021

You can blame Manchin and Sinema and their unwillingness to be team players here, but fundamentally the reason Dems are so frustrated right now owes to an initial decision to lean hard into the $3.5T figure and a profound failure to manage expectations throughout the process.

@damosuzuki1 @RobGeorge Prince himself admitted that the songwriting and especially instrumentation/production of DIRTY MIND (which carries over to CONTROVERSY) was specifically inspired by his love of Lindsey Buckingham's weird 'home demo' TUSK songs like "The Ledge," "I Know I'm Not Wrong," etc.
@EsotericCD -- Tue Sep 28 12:52:10 +0000 2021
@RobGeorge The influence that TUSK had on DIRTY MIND and CONTROVERSY is just so blindingly obvious to me, but it's one that people rarely talk about.
@RobGeorge -- Tue Sep 28 05:39:17 +0000 2021
@EsotericCD TUSK is the album that makes me sad that Prince and Lindsey Buckingham never collaborated (as Prince and Stevie did). I mean, they might have killed one another after one day. OTOH, they could have created a masterpiece for the ages!

It would be amazing if Sinema's stand on personal/corporate income tax hikes leads to a carbon tax. If you told someone in 2003 that a former Green Party activist would get the U.S. a carbon tax in 20 years, you would not guess that causal chain.

@daveweigel "Chicago" cost $45 million, made $305 million and was virtually endemic at my high school. (Also, a fascinating phenomenon is that the fandom for Dear Evan Hansen was HUGE on Tumblr and other sites, which probably led to folks thinking a movie would make cash.)

The "business" TV networks are ostensibly for serious people with real jobs. But in practice they're comically terrible and you're better off reading some weird guy with an ugly wordpress blog about housing startsr. This is business TV at its finest. Just watch. https://t.co/J7N3kaZk3U

Actually, senator, the study’s author speculates the pro-work effect came from a feature you voted to abolish: “Zheng speculates that the pro-work effect of the CTC derives from its phase-in structure… $1 in earnings translates (post-credit) to $1.15 in total take-home income.” https://t.co/8JRSeDMRb9
