@SpecialPuppy1 This has always been by view. The idea that this was all an elaborate ruse to get an infrastructure bill passed doesn’t make sense (especially since that bill passed a long time ago). — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 I am in Italy and have not had time to check in with anyone to understand the breakdown beyond what’s currently in the papers (seemingly from Schumer’s POV) — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin’s stated concern that the BBB framework as originally proposed would be inflationary was correct, and Ds should have acknowledged that sooner, but the reworked package of tax reforms and energy production would have been helpful here not harmful and he should do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Obviously the people (most democrats) who think Manchin has been acting in bad faith all along will feel they are vindicated. The minority of us who feel that Schumer & Biden have been screwing this up all along will also feel vindicated. But most of all it sucks for America. — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait Well they can they just don’t want to because of (a) small state vs big city disagreements about where the money should go and (b) house Dems don’t like the trade stuff (some kind of waiver process idk the details) that Wyden + Republicans did — PolitiTweet.org

My Italian sources (one guy at the grocery store) tell me that even without Five Star, Draghi’s coalition could command a majority in parliament (I checked this on Wikipedia and it’s true) so he may just return as PM with a reshuffled cabinet. — PolitiTweet.org

This skinny bill is fine but would be a sad demise for legislation that started as an ambitious effort to reinvigorate American scientific research with new money and new ways of doing grantmaking. — PolitiTweet.org

It would involve a pay cut but I am willing to extend my trip and serve as Prime Minister of Italy if they need someone. — PolitiTweet.org

@binarybits They are supposed to be targeting the BEA’s PCE release not the BLS’s CPI number but it’s a good point. Weird to have a July 27 meeting and then the new data comes out in July 29. — PolitiTweet.org

@donmoyn At least here it is legitimately sunny and hot — doing this in Dublin when I visited a few years ago was a nightmare. — PolitiTweet.org

This would be another good topic on which to hold congressional votes to highlight the extremism of a movement that includes people who want to deny women life-saving medical care. — PolitiTweet.org

This area is rural and very agricultural so lots of people have trucks, but they’re often tiny by American standards with what I assume is commensurate fuel economy — also makes it possible to drive them on the small urban streets in town. https://t.co/8gFkgzuiI1 — PolitiTweet.org
