Congressional Democrats have some incentive to hype the spending ("We are doing things!"). So do Republicans ("socialism"). But $350 billion a year in the context of around $5 trillion yearly in total federal spending is big but perhaps not super-dramatic. — PolitiTweet.org

This is useful context. The "reconciliation" bill is $3.5 trillion OVER 10 YEARS, which should be included in every story. So about $350 billion a year--about $1000 in spending per person. — PolitiTweet.org

Adding justices to the Supreme Court is not an ideal solution. But it may be the only solution. https://t.co/m6y9IwlufY — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis and Abbott are really bad--Trump with more focus and determination. Their leadership during COVID has been terrible. I looked at why they are favorites to win reelection despite bad governing and the four Democrats best positioned to take them on. https://t.co/PpjRE9o4wk — PolitiTweet.org

Beto's presidential campaign was probably doomed the moment Biden entered and filled the moderate white male lane. But he was a great candidate in 18 and has been deeply involved in the voting rights fights this year around the country and in Texas. — PolitiTweet.org

Nikki Fried won a statewide race (Ag commissioner in 2018) in Florida as a Dem, which is very hard to do. She is doing everything possible to promote mask-wearing and vaccinations in Florida while DeSantis downplays the virus spread there. — PolitiTweet.org

The real universe of people who might like a Biden policy are 1. Dem voters 2. moderate/Trump-skeptical Republicans 3. non-voters 4. swing voters. Knowing the popularity of Biden policies among those people (about 70% of the voting-age population) would be particularly useful. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I wish more of these polls did, perhaps inaccurately paragraphing something @anatosaurus has suggested, is separating out hardcore Repubs (who are mostly going to oppose whatever Biden does) from other voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Making Juneteenth a holiday was about as popular with Republicans as the child tax credits. Interesting. I learned something today. (Both are of course very unpopular with Republicans.) — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats, black people and MSNBC watchers are of course not getting secret government benefits from Biden that others aren't. Instead, the results of this survey suggest people's perceptions of what is happening in America are heavily influenced by partisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

More than 80 percent of Americans received $1400 cash payments from the Biden stimulus plan. Per new poll from @Civiqs, 37 percent of Americans say Biden has done something that benefited them personally, 57 percent say he has not. https://t.co/F5BpWvyuTx https://t.co/GZvYXtAUaz — PolitiTweet.org

Newsom is on a polling upswing. Polls can be wrong, but it looks like he will survive the recall. Biden isn't---but voters won't be deciding on his performance for another 14 months (and really 38 months). https://t.co/fSfesP28TN https://t.co/yXPye4Z9kR — PolitiTweet.org

.@MondaireJones, in an interview with @jordanzakarin, argues (I think correctly) that many conservative Dems don't have policy views beyond positioning themselves as "not left" and implies this approach is shared by some in the Biden administration too. https://t.co/oqFcTgB2kK https://t.co/DOyArfBZ28 — PolitiTweet.org
