In addition to the notes below, it also feels like the way to convince the President the filibuster has to go; he hasn’t seemed willing to expend the capital on it yet but if this fails Harris and Pelosi are expecting him to lean hard on the 2 holdouts (who will have 0 leverage in the minority)

Then he went over to the rules committee and ran his mouth about radical Vanita Gupta trying to deliminate the police and Blumenthal basically said, this ain't the place for that and then Ted walked out, greatly improving the smell in the room.https://twitter.com/atrupar...

It works both ways, unfortunately. There are also lots of bogus insurance claims. Some people that really deserve relief don't get it, some people that deserve only a kick in the pants win. Usually it boils down to legal assistance or lack of legal assistance.

I try to cling to what President Obama said when he was stumping for then Candidate now POTUS Joe ---

As a voting democracy we're still nowhere near 100% of the eligible electorate coming out to vote.

Imagine what we could do with that.
