A few weeks ago in Maine I asked an appliance store guy whether people were spending their "Biden bonus" buying stuff, since I saw a lot of "sold" tags. He got furious and told me "that's OUR money. Biden's just giving some of it back." Trump was better at taking credit for this

By my count, it's now Infrastructure Week #25 of the new administration. Just 19 Infrastructure Weeks to go if Biden wants to stick to his campaign promise.https://youtu.be/7cJ2m-MKVpM?t=81 …

I recall seeing a lot of hagiography during Biden's first 100 days (is he the new FDR or the new Lincoln), but the opportunity to use that favorable moment to quickly pass some bills was squandered. We got power and did nothing of substance with it.

I understand that Joe Manchin is a big meanie, and the sun's in our eyes, and Mitch McConnell summons Hell's own parliamentarian in the pentagram he keeps on his desk. Life is so hard. But at some point you have to take responsibility for your inaction.

To give one small example of a lever of power we don't use, why is this do-nothing Congress constantly going on vacation? Keep the fuckers in the building until they agree to vote on stuff. Make filibusters require speeches. Turn off the A/C. Do all-nighters if you have to. Push!

Getting out of Afghanistan is the one thing Biden absolutely deserves credit for. But even this is soured by the shameful way we're abandoning tens of thousands of people who helped us to die, allowing just a small fraction to wait in limbo in authoritarian countries next door

Something I hear a lot is how "quiet" it is now. Well, a lot of Republicans can be "quiet" too, that's not going to help Dems a lot in 2022/24.

Yeah, exactly. They just need to run out the clock. Quiet helps them.
