All this criticism of the Fed is overblown. Yes, they got it wrong on inflation this time but post-covid inflation was inevitable. They are now correcting. But they got it right during financial crisis and they got if right for Covid, which were much more important tests. — PolitiTweet.org

The incomparable and now sadly late Vin Scully announcing the beginning of the 9th Inning For Love of the Game was the best part of the movie. https://t.co/pGU8MFe7Bw — PolitiTweet.org

Congress is an extraordinary institution but it has also been a dysfunctional institution for some time. Biden ran on getting Congress working again and there is a strong argument that he has - better than it has in decades when you consider the bipartisan bills of the last year — PolitiTweet.org

IMO most voters in America are center-left: they are socially liberal (pro choice, etc), want a strong private market economy, a strong national defense, fiscal prudence, a progressive tax code & sensible climate action. If the Democratic Party aligns like that it will win big! — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@georgeleventhal @nytopinion Agreed, George. Organizing - like @jamie_raskin does with democracy summer - is so much more powerful than sitting in a cube sending out small dollar fundraising. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

https://t.co/HsMV9ezYGV via @NYTOpinion So much of Washington was built for fund raising not party building. There is a whole generation of democratic operatives whose entire orientation is raising small dollar donations and burning out voters in the process. — PolitiTweet.org

Moody's analysis confirms what most believed: the Inflation Reduction Act will deliver a quadruple bottom line: Reduce the Deficit Reduce Inflation Combat Climate Lower Drug Costs The tax changes in the bill are not radical but well reasoned, targeted to the wealthy and fair — PolitiTweet.org

A good read & good lesson One of the most discouraging aspect of today's politics is how quickly policy disagreements become personal attacks where motives are questioned Sometimes people legitimacy disagree on the policy and they have no other motive https://t.co/igCKdAOOxU — PolitiTweet.org

@GTS9911 I'd prefer to move forward then spend my time saying "gotcha" if someone said something wrong during an emergency. The vaccines and treatments we've developed over the last few years have been transformative. Full stop. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@TruthRyan Disagree. The medical community made heroic steps forward quickly in understanding and treating covid. Scientific advance is based on trial and error. As they learned, they adapted & changed. Your view that they should have had it 100% right before they did anything is dumb IMO. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@GTS9911 So what? Live and learn. Adapt. Change. That's the way the world works. The world doesn't work by harping on how everyone says things and whether it's 100% accurate all the time. That's ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

We have to start talking about vaccines differently. They clearly don't "prevent" you from getting covid (and we should just say that clearly) but they do "decrease" your chances of getting it (how much, we don't know) and more importantly, they clearly make cases less severe. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@GTS9911 Yes but there is ample evidence that vaccines make the cases less severe. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

At some point this has to stop. Biden was of course careful but we have to learn to live with Covid. It's not going away and the American people have no tolerance for new mask mandates or for exacting application of ever changing rules. We have to be responsible & not judgmental — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Watch this interview and you realize Joe Manchin is an independent who happens to vote for Schumer as leader. That's it. It's not important to him who is in charge of Congress. Progressive activists should take note and realize that pressure campaigns have no impact on him. — PolitiTweet.org

@GerryDales @desertdave2012 Actually 37%. With 35% identifying as conservative and 25% liberal according to Gallup https://t.co/BjrY4Gn72Q — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@GerryDales @desertdave2012 He has addressed the issues that a majority of voters want, which is his job in a democracy. The majority of voters want common sense progress. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@KathleenCederg1 Did you not notice that we had a global pandemic and shut down the global economy and supply chain. Did you actually think it would restart smoothly???? — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

This is the exact right point. It was foolish and uninformed to think Biden could accomplish a FDR agenda - FDR had 70% margins in the Congress - Biden is barely at 50% Considering his Congressional margins, Biden has made tremendous progress. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Some say Dems haven't delivered everything they ran on so why should I vote? IMO this is an unpatriotic/selfish sentiment. Participating in a constitutional democracy is a blessing & responsibility; it should not be cast aside b/c a party didn't deliver everything YOU wanted! — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Fox is clearly the most watched cable network and to reach a broad swath of Americans Dems should make their case on Fox. Aside from households, the vast majority of McDonalds & fast food places in America have one TV & it's playing Fox all day long. https://t.co/SIRPjjpoDa — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

On most big issues - climate, reproductive freedom, safety net - Americans agrees w/ Dems & most Dems support a strong national defense & fiscal prudence, which most Americans support. It's therefore obvious that a Dem party without extreme positions should dominate politically — PolitiTweet.org

@deejaymcguire @POTUS Not at this point in the inflation cycle. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

You can't complain about inflation and the economy slowing. The way to end high inflation is to slow the economy - there is no other way. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@rtbkc Maybe read a few basic economic definitions. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The media trying to pin down officials about "are in a recession" is dumb Simply look up definition of a recession & you know we are not technically in one - that takes all of a minute Ask should Fed keep raising rates even if it causes a recession - that's the real question — PolitiTweet.org

This is true and shouldn't be unpopular. Biden's achievements have been very significant. This story rarely gets out, unfortunately, because he regularly gets attacked by Republican for being too left and, surprisingly, by many Democrats for not being left enough. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@GTS9911 I have nothing against crypto, think it's interesting and certainly have no contempt of it - I just find it ironic that a crypto investor (which is a very new asset class with limited proven utility) would call housing (the most real and proven asset in the world) a Ponzi scheme! — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@GTS9911 It is relevant. Do you even know what a Ponzi scheme is? It's a money raising scheme built on a fake business. Housing is not a money raising scheme. Nor is it a fake business (as some say crypto is). If he wrote an article saying the Fed has inflated housing, he'd be right. — PolitiTweet.org
