    Psst. All this Kumbaya "bipartisan" talk about Covid stimulus isn't really intended to pacify Republicans. It's intended to pacify the Democrats' most unreliable senator, Joe Manchin.

    A lot of the coverage of the Covid stimulus's fate in the Senate, I feel, feigns ignorance of how Mister Bill becomes Mister Law. I try to correct that in my latest Backbencher piece, on Biden and partisanship and what I've come to think of as yooniddy.

    It’s a bit mystifying why the Republican compromise on Covid stimulus is deemed so newsworthy. Biden is meeting with the Rs as a courtesy. He has the votes to push through his bill already.

    The Democrats have not yet begun to appreciate what a gift they have in Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    Trump gives public vote of support to pro-insurrection Rep who thinks "Jewish lasers" in space are starting wildfires out west. Not only won't be purged from GOP caucus but be a de facto leader. McCarthy will fall in line. GOP increasingly explicit in support for insurrection.

    I had a GREAT call with my all time favorite POTUS, President Trump! I’m so grateful for his support and more importantly the people of this country are absolutely 100% loyal to him because he is 100% loyal to the people and America First. Cont’d...

    I’m trying very hard to wean this Twitter feed from Trump stories, but I couldn’t resist this trailer for Mrs. Seth Mnuchin’s new film.

    While we're on the subject of Backbencher, you really should help yourself to a free email subscription here:

    In 2002, Mitt Romney came out in favor of indexing state minimum-wage hikes. As writes, now that Romney has acquired more backbone, he should show it off by reverting to his 2002 position, and get some other Republicans to join him.

    Julie K. Brown’s Pulitzer-winning Miami Herald series on Jeffrey Epstein was well-timed but not all that groundbreaking. Now Brown is embroiled in a nasty legal fight that turns largely on who did the investigating.

    I don’t mean to be judgmental, but I’m starting to wonder whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene might be a little funny in the head.

    Remember when Donald Trump, in October, tried to make an issue of Joe Biden saying "I would transition from the oil industry"? Trump couldn't get any traction with that. Here's a big reason why: That transition was already well underway.

    If GM says it won't make gas-powered vehicles after 2035, that probably means it will stop making gas-powered vehicles a lot sooner than that. I wonder if anybody will still be making them even five years from now.
