J Ricchetti brought it up w/Sen. Fin. Chair, per aide: “The issue was raised with Senator Wyden in his personal capacity, and his position has long been that wealthy heirs should pay tax on their investment gains,” said Wyden spokeswoman Ashley Schapitl. https://t.co/EVl8DwvwDz — PolitiTweet.org

Top WH adviser Steve Ricchetti is pushing a central plank of Pres. Biden’s agenda — raising taxes on the inheritors of large estates. His brother, lobbyist Jeff Ricchetti, has been hired to lobby Dem sens against it. @michaelscherer @JStein_WaPo + me: https://t.co/EVl8DwvwDz — PolitiTweet.org

Steeped in Americana, Biden’s two-day sprint reflected urgent imperatives at an inflection point for his presidency — to put his stamp on the return to a more normal state and bring some unity to a deeply divided nation on its 245th birthday. W/@mviser: https://t.co/9p2dXaDxMA — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Biden hits the road for his infrastructure plan, but potholes loom. Starting in WI, the president tries to sell concept of compromise to a polarized country, while his aides flood the zone in DC pitching a very divided Congress. W/@seungminkim: https://t.co/IYPMKUDawD — PolitiTweet.org

Biden, it's important to note, was heavily responsible, for the crack/powder cocaine sentencing disparity that was enacted in the '80s. He backed off of it years later. And then campaigned in '20 on ending it. Now taking a step toward doing that: https://t.co/zcWzdRRVdD — PolitiTweet.org
