what will we as a society do in these situations when we no longer have Ken Feinberg to handle them. is there anyone else who is in this line of work? — PolitiTweet.org

perhaps the one upside of Covid: I won’t have that brief momnent this year when I wonder if it’s ok and professionally acceptable to turn the office TVs to March Madness. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

flashback to 2/2 when the WH expressed some confusion that Republicans would actually line up against a bill polling at 75% and w/ $1,400 checks in it. “They’ll get no credit” for those checks, is how one senior administration official put it. https://t.co/9vnKce1aYa — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s bill is polling at 75%. And yet, there are significant obstacles in selling it to the broader public. 1. Polarization 2. People are gonna forget all about it/may not notice it’s provisions https://t.co/vlZZ79JeIJ — PolitiTweet.org

When your job is to deal with the press, and you’re drawing a taxpayer salary for it, try and offer more than just “off the record, no comment.” — PolitiTweet.org

@jenmyers333 his stimulus did not bail out the banks. the TARP did. and that was passed by Bush, though reauthorized under Obama — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnJHarwood @SharonTreat Yep — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@tommatzzie @SharonTreat no. i won’t. as the piece notes, the timing+scope of Biden’s bill is different. but the tides of polarization make it harder to sell than, i think, the CW suggests. Also, as the piece notes, people have short memories. a $1,400 check today may not matter as much in Nov. 2022 — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@ilyseh i think it is a bit more nuanced. They did message on stimulus. as Gibbs notes in this item, it was just hard to do so because the economy was still dovetailing for months after the stimulus passed. Biden’s bill may be coming on the upward trajectory, which is beneficial for him — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@TheToddSchulte the other issue that polling shows is people genuinely forget benefits they get from governmment. that might be different because of how massive this bill is. But it’s definitely a phenomnon that folks don’t recall (or straight up deny) benefiting from govt. programs — PolitiTweet.org

@SharonTreat the TARP bailed out the banks. that’s not the stimulus — PolitiTweet.org

Also, during the 2010 mid terms, fewer than one in 10 Americans said they felt their taxes had gone down that year, even though they likely had because of the Obama stimulus. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

When folks studied the political fallout of the Obama stimulus, they found that it may have actually *hurt* House Democrats in swing districts. Polarization totally overwhelmed any goodwill from the money. https://t.co/vlZZ79JeIJ — PolitiTweet.org

This piece starts off with a horrific piece of scary anti-Semitism directed at schumer. It also includes this line: "He once cried so hard at the movie “Free Willy” that his daughters left the theater out of embarrassment.” https://t.co/3DVm0uuRhn — PolitiTweet.org

NEW — It’s an article of faith among Democrats that Biden’s $1,400 checks will be a huge political winner. History and research suggests they won’t move the dial. https://t.co/vlZZ79JeIJ my top tonight for the Nightly newsletter. — PolitiTweet.org
