Biden is currently talking about Build Back Better without using the term. He calls it "the plan" and is now touting its features, including provisions to cut prescription drug costs. — PolitiTweet.org

@thalassophile85 why yes, I covered it! and it wasn't a criticism, there's no need to be triggered by it https://t.co/K6mFBMviN1 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just them, of course. The chamber is maskless. Attendees had to get covid tested over the last 24 hours in order to get in. And the Capitol ditched its mask mandate at the start of this week. Now optional. — PolitiTweet.org

John Bolton says it’s “not accurate” to suggest Trump’s behavior deterred Putin. “But in almost every case, the sanctions were imposed with Trump complaining about it and saying we were being too hard… The fact is that he barely knew where Ukraine was.” https://t.co/DoN4DhAD0x — PolitiTweet.org

Biden tonight in his SOTU: "My plan to fight inflation will lower your costs and lower the deficit." The last 3 words appear written for an audience of one. https://t.co/i8E70jTS0Y — PolitiTweet.org

Scott vs. McConnell is a clash over two different strategies for 2022. Scott is offering a policy agenda to contrast how the GOP would govern differently than Democrats. McConnell doesn't want a "contrast"—he wants the election to be a referendum on Biden. https://t.co/U6zUlFJpTM — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

BLUNT: "I think Republican senators hope that Rick Scott would stay focused right now on the job of being the chairman of the Senate election committee." THUNE on Scott's income tax idea: "I don't know of any that would include that" in their 2022 agenda. https://t.co/U6zUlFJpTM — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: "I'll be the majority leader." Mitch McConnell knifes Rick Scott's agenda for a GOP Senate "We would not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years." https://t.co/U6zUlFJpTM — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

.@LeaderMcConnell rejects part of @SenRickScott’s agenda for GOP rule, which would require all Americans to pay some income tax. “We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people,” he says. If GOP wins, “I’ll be the majority leader.” — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell says that on foreign policy, "I'm sincerely rooting for President Biden's success." He asks for "steady" and "smart" leadership to help guide the west through the Russia-Ukraine conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

McConnell says he is troubled by KBJ's "far left dark money fan club." (The messenger is notable: McConnell has led the conservative push to curtail campaign finance regulations, which enabled "dark money," and opposes legislation to require donor disclosure.) — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer now: "Covid cases are significantly dropping. Communities are re-opening. Mask mandates are reversing. And over 215 million Americans have now been fully vaccinated. The road has not been easy. And certainly the work is not yet done." From there he pivots to inflation. — PolitiTweet.org

In a recent memo, Biden's polling firm had some advice for Democrats: Declare victory against Covid and stop talking about restrictions or you'll lose the election. https://t.co/K6mFBMMUbB https://t.co/PhaL1UKxch — PolitiTweet.org
