Interesting read by ⁦@ezraklein⁩ There is an argument that Manchin in playing the long game and his approach has the potential of improving how the Senate operates, which is a very worthy goal Whether he can do it is debatable of course https://t.co/3HTbreVaEf — PolitiTweet.org

As the US appropriately sends Covid vaccine doses to the rest of the world to save lives, we should be reminded that we have an unrivaled innovation economy, that our vaccine development was a singular success, and that the United States remains a force of good globally. — PolitiTweet.org

Fed is projecting inflation to come in higher than expected. Some is reopening related & some is the impact of extraordinary fiscal/monetary policy. There is a cost to everything. The good news is that the Fed has tools to deal with this. https://t.co/2LxyluQaU8 — PolitiTweet.org

Very little coverage of the fact that 20 Senators - 10 Ds and 10 Rs announced that they agree on an infrastructure plan. This could likely pass if it had a vote. It's almost like the media doesn't want to cover Congress working together! https://t.co/xSGwpxRAYZ — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

This is a big deal. And a really good sign. 10 Ds and 10 Rs agreeing on infrastructure. A path forward is emerging! — PolitiTweet.org

Shocking stat: alcohol is the cause of 1 in 20 deaths and nearly 100,000 US deaths each year are alcohol related. The addiction crisis in America has many dimensions. — PolitiTweet.org

.@TerryMcAuliffe was a great Governor and he is a rare political talent. His opponent will spend big $$$$ but Terry will crush him this November. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClintonMueller I think passengers will pay for safety. Fights on planes have increased ten fold. One will end badly. Perhaps very badly. I suspect the $2-3 more per ticket is worth it to most people but, of course, I could be wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Fortunately there were some brave - and strong - passengers who took down this threat on the plane. Airlines should hire security to fly on planes considering the spike in plane incidents. https://t.co/e8CHIPkdUV — PolitiTweet.org

Climate measures should be in the infrastructure bill at the levels Biden proposed. BUT even that proposed level of infrastructure spending is only 0.5% of annual US GDP. To tackle climate we have to make big changes in the rest of the private economy and business needs to lead — PolitiTweet.org

I like Joe and he has been a strong voice against Trump, but disagree strongly here. Talking incessantly about Trump is all about money. Cable news/media does it to drive ratings and make $$$ and politicians/journalists do it for clicks and likes. It's not good for the country. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Some perspective: US economy will be $23 Trillion in 2021. It will grow each year & average $26-27 trillion/year over next 10 yrs Congress is debating spending $1-1.7 trillion on infrastructure over next 10yrs. That's $100-170 Billion/year - just 0.5% of the economy Cut a deal — PolitiTweet.org

It is imperative that we discover the exact origin of Covid. We owe it to the millions who died, the millions of lives that were ruined by the economic detestation and we must ensure that it doesn't happen again. https://t.co/4r9tpsH8kz — PolitiTweet.org

3 crises that tragically impact American families that get too little attention Opioid and addiction crisis, which has taken more lives than Covid Affordable housing crisis, which has lowered living standard for families Mental health crisis, which is escalating rapidly — PolitiTweet.org

@ValueHao Entities that are part government/part private are generally a bad deal for taxpayers because it's "heads" private shareholders win and "tails" taxpayers lose. That was a always the problem with the GSEs. They should be one or the other - I would be fine with either. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

The gov't owns ~$200 Billon of preferred stock in FannieMae & FreddieMac that it rec'd when it bailed them out. It should sell the stock & use it to create an infrastructure bank that could fund trillions of infrastructure - a fully paid for plan that bridges the D & R divide! — PolitiTweet.org

@specialkwhit @eileenreed2016 I framed the health insurance debate the way I'd like the infrastructure debate framed - based on facts & analysis - not talking points. In healthcare I believe in universal free healthcare for every American BUT that people should be able to also buy their own health insurance — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

It's annoying that the entire infrastructure debate in the media is about the $'s spent. Is it $2 trillion or $1 trillion? - that is the only story We should be talking about what's actually in the proposals. What are the needs? Are they good investments? Are we being creative? — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

By working hard to find bipartisan solutions while acting decisively to advance his agenda when possible, @joebiden is governing as promised More than any specific policy proposal, America needs a functioning federal government & Biden is working to restore just that! — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Disagree with this take. While I agree with the President's decision to reject the latest offer, I think @SenCapito has been a good actor in this process. You can disagree with her policy positions but, in my judgment, her approach has been constructive. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

We've had housing shortage for a while but the desire of many to leave big cities for suburban/rural has caused a significant spike in home prices in many markets. Good if you are a homeowner, not so good if you are not. Housing policy needs a rethink. https://t.co/vQljfkCbOb — PolitiTweet.org

In one of the great acts of delivering justice to disenfranchised voters, @TerryMcAuliffe restored the voting rights of nearly 200k Virginians. He was a great Governor and I hope Virginia elects him a second time! With a democratic legislature, he will do amazing things. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

I give the President enormous credit for working hard to craft a bipartisan deal. If he is successful, I bet the deal will be VERY popular because most Americans (not hardcore Twitter partisans) want the parties working together. It could change things. https://t.co/nAWqyuAGsA — PolitiTweet.org
