Dan Pfieffer: “Stop looking for someone to blame and look for something to blame. In one fell swoop, Democrats are trying to rebuild our roads and bridges, unrig the tax code, lift millions out of poverty, address climate change, create jobs, expand access to high education and help families afford childcare and eldercare. Any of these on their own would be hard. Doing them all at once is nearly impossible. But this is the only option because Senate Democrats won’t fix the filibuster, and Republicans will not lift a finger to help their constituents or save the planet under their feet.”
“Democrats are forced to use the one remaining budget reconciliation bill to accomplish their entire agenda.”
Ben Rhodes: “It makes zero sense that you can spend trillions of dollars or give away trillions in tax cuts with 50 votes, but can’t fix a broken immigration system or protect voting rights unless you have 60 votes. This is obvious, but that is somehow irrelevant in American politics.”
