    Q: Is the White House still committed to raising the cap to 62,500 this fiscal year?  PSAKI: Yes.  Collins: And so we should expect that before October?  And it’s not going to change from 62,500? PSAKI: I don’t anticipate that...The President remains committed to raising the cap.

    Biden is going big on popular D ideas (COVID $, infrastructure, long term care) and relatively quieter on more divisive topics. Works for now, not clear how long he can keep it up. Activists are going to notice if, say, you don't raise refugee levels.

    In the last 48 hrs, we’ve seen 4 different natl polls showing Biden’s approval rating above water -- with the highest (Pew) at 59%-39%, and with the lowest (Quinnipiac) at 48%-42%. It’s a break with Trump, whose job rating remained mostly underwater

    Excited to share a project I’ve been working on for over a month, a photo essay of portraits documenting just a handful of people who experienced the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan 6, and how they’re processing the trauma 100 days after. It’s here:

    So much of the discussion on the GOP legislation on voting restrictions has focused on the trees rather than the forest. But sees the forest quite clearly, IMO

    A selection of threads from public heath/vaccine/epidemiology people I follow

    I have lots of thoughts on the pausing of the J&J vaccine. The biggest is that I’m glad that we do good science and post-vaccine monitoring. The 2nd is that even if real, this association is very small. More below:

    3 months into Biden's presidency, there have been no Tea Party-like protests vs. his agenda. Part of it is b/c Biden has never been a lightning rod. Part is b/c of Jan. 6. But another part is the defeated candidate who decided to stick around: Trump

    Republican elected officials who upheld the 2020 election results continue to get penalized by state parties/legislatures. First was the GA legislature stripping away SoS Raffensperger's powers. Now this action over the weekend by the NV GOP censuring state's SoS.

    GOP SOS who was censured by the NV GOP on Saturday has put out a scathing statement, and we have updated our story: "My job is to carry out the duties of my office as enacted by the Nevada Legislature, not carry water for the state GOP or put my thumb on the scale of democracy."

    Another example of how one political party hasn't forgotten what happened on Jan. 6 -- and how the other has just decided to move on

    The ⁦⁩ gave an award to Donald trump. Over the weekend, trump called ⁦⁩ — senate gop leader — a dumb son of a bitch. Below is the photo of ⁦⁩ giving trump the award, included in an email the nrsc sent out this morning.

    The result -- almost 100 days later -- is a Congress and Washington that have no shared memory of Jan. 6, and that have taken no collective course of action to prevent it from happening again.

    It's been nearly 100 days since the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol. And what continues to stand out afterward -- highlighted by Trump's remarks from over the weekend -- are the vastly different reactions to that day by Democrats and Republicans
