New: Statement from @POTUS on his decision to raise the refugee cap for this fiscal year to 62,500. (This decision comes after several shifts from the president/WH and a lot of blowback from allies): https://t.co/FKotfCqCKs — PolitiTweet.org

Kelly is up for reelection in a border state where Dems finally broke through statewide in '20. But this kind of pushback tells you all you need to know about the dangers AZ Dems see in '22, particularly on border politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Pres. Biden getting some heat from a fellow Dem after his speech. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) issues a statement saying, "what I didn’t hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border" ----> https://t.co/06L1KbYozt — PolitiTweet.org

Biden notably channeled Sanders on health-care tonight (to a point.) “Health care should be a right, not a privilege" was a line at prob every speech I ever saw Sanders give on the campaign trail. (But Biden still supports expanding ACA, not MFA.) https://t.co/imcX3gMUoF — PolitiTweet.org

And a ques this raises is what he will do if the Senate does not pass the bill. The answer many Dems see is doing away with the filibuster and passing it on party lines. Can't do that w/out changing D minds. (See Manchin, Joe; Sinema, Kyrsten.) No easy solutions for Biden here. — PolitiTweet.org

WH often talks about "equity." What does it mean? "Pursuing equity isn’t about handouts or benefits to particular identity groups. It’s about lifting the entire boat that we are in," said Susan Rice, who heads the White House Domestic Policy Council. https://t.co/SS00DVfTI7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Sullivan @WaPoSean

“The nation that we need to be is one where everybody belongs,” Susan Rice told me. “The way we’ve tried to operationalize that as a matter of policy and practice is to infuse equity through literally everything we do.” https://t.co/SS00DVfTI7 — PolitiTweet.org

WH officials say they've done a lot already. From EOs fighting housing discrimination, curtailing private prisons, and increasing Native American tribal sovereignty, among other steps. Plus combatting poverty in Black and Brown communities w/ covid bill. https://t.co/SS00DVfTI7 — PolitiTweet.org

Activists say Biden's comments have been powerful and important, but they want more results: -“I see the intention. What I am now hoping going forward is we will see bolder action to go along with the intention." -“Words are nice, but policy is better." https://t.co/SS00DVfTI7 — PolitiTweet.org

As Pres. Biden approaches his 100th day in office, a stark contrast has emerged between his impassioned and sometimes impulsive rhetoric on issues involving race, and a more cautious policy approach. A deep dive into his record: https://t.co/vVXdEoXKxo — PolitiTweet.org

WH Press Sec Jen Psaki on Tuesday declined to say how likely it was that the president would set the new cap at 62,500. “If the cap is at that or close to that, it will continue to be challenging,” Psaki said. https://t.co/cSgGIhBQo2 — PolitiTweet.org
