Appropriate perhaps to have the Amsterdam community leaders overrule the rabbis during Hanukkah, a holiday that was, I believe, in the past more in accord with the sentiments of the public than the rabbis. — PolitiTweet.org

Why shouldn’t Schumer allow Mike Lee a vote on the business vaccine mandate (which is a vaccine or weekly test mandate)? Get people on the record. And let him have a 50 rather than 60 vote standard for passage. Lays predicate for 50-vote standard on other matters—e.g. filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Three Qs: 1. Couldn't Dems do this in summer or fall, before 2022 election? 2. What protections would Dems try to pass--the full 9 months, or a minimum federal standard of first trimester or viability? 3. Manchin and Casey might well be a No. Would Collins and Murkowski be a Yes? — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: The political scientist Shep Melnick considers the transformation--for better and worse--of an obscure 1972 amendment to a vehicle for changing college sports, and then as a source of rules regarding campus sexual assault and harassment, and speech. https://t.co/LbDxOCUn8l — PolitiTweet.org

Here are ⁦@AnaCabrera⁩ and I just now, discussing and lamenting Republican efforts to make it harder to slow the further spread of COVID and to save lives. And I urge the Biden Administration and Democrats to take this fight to the Republicans. https://t.co/oijXozYfSF — PolitiTweet.org

Today's news: Senior Trump official taking the 5th about the attempt to overturn the election. GOP senators fighting to make it more difficult to stop the spread of COVID. Biden needn't say this, but other Democrats can: The Republican Party is pro-insurrection and pro-COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

I had coffee this morning with an Afghan pilot now resettled here with some--but not all--of his family. Meeting with him was inspiring and moving--and also depressing and worrying. What this letter asks for is the least the U.S. government should do. https://t.co/7uYFRBhBJ8 — PolitiTweet.org

5. I wouldn't be part of that serious social democratic left--though many of us could work with it on some issues, especially in the face of bureaucratic preference for the status quo and crony capitalism and regulatory capture. But it would good for the U.S. to have one. END — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

4. What this country needs are some serious social democrats who don't don't fantasize about "transformative" policies but actually seek to help working class Americans NOW. Why aren't @AOC, @SenWarren et al insisting on cheap, rapid tests for the working Americans who need them? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

3. Wouldn't it be easier to bust the FDA regulatory obstacles and the Pharma duopoly that benefits from them and make the tests plentiful and cheap and easily available? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

2. So a cashier who wants to be sure some unvaxxed shopper in the supermarket where she works hasn't infected her (and wants to be sure her kids are fine) is supposed to spend a hundred of dollars a week on antigen tests and then...send the receipts to her friendly insurer? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

1. Rather than do what many, many other countries have done and make plentiful at-home tests available super-cheap, the Biden Administration is proposing that the "more than 150m Americans with private insurance will be able to get at-home tests reimbursed by their insurance." — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

Good. But will the president also bust through the FDA bureaucratic obstacles and the FDA-imposed corporate duopoly that limits the numbers of tests available here to a fraction of what's available--from totally reputable companies--in Europe? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

So Biden is NOT busting through FDA roadblocks to ensure plentiful, cheap, and rapid at-home, at-school and at-work antigen testing--more useful than ever in safely keeping kids in school and adults at work if we face a more transmissible variant? Ugh... https://t.co/nUgCReM3Z6 — PolitiTweet.org

2. ...and I'm not shutting down the country. We'll ensure vaccines and tests are universally available and that new vaccines are developed if needed. And of course all Americans will have access to medical care and government programs. We'll do our part. But please do yours." END — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

1. Is it time for Biden to say this? "There are limits to what the government can do to help if you won't help yourself. And this is simply a fact: If you choose not to get vaccinated or boosted, you're more likely to get sick and even to die. But I'm not going to hector you... — PolitiTweet.org

"But perhaps Democrats can make their own luck next year...In a rising tide economy, a compelling campaign narrative aimed at 'Preserving American Democracy As We Know It' while proclaiming 'The American Dream for All Americans' might just move a nation." https://t.co/HElK2scb65 — PolitiTweet.org

"Democrats can’t win unless they can both mobilize the liberal base and carry independents by double digits. That is a stiff test that Democrats passed in 2018 and 2020 in the presidential race, but flunked in 2014, 2016, and the 2020 congressional races." https://t.co/HElK2scb65 — PolitiTweet.org
