Biden’s agenda is being blocked in the Senate by 2 Dems resisting change. LBJ dealt with something similar. @AJentleson says “History shows that when a president gets involved and applies relentless pressure over the course of weeks and months … it can make a big difference.”

How would @jeremyfaust react if he’d been told last year how high Covid hospitalizations would be on Labor Day 2021? “I would’ve said to you, well, they must not have a vaccine yet, because that would be the best explanation at the time.”

The new Texas voting law isn’t about Red versus Blue. As @mehdirhasan explains, “It’s about voter suppression versus one person one vote.” And for American democracy to survive, we’re going to need Dems in DC to do something about it. WATCH:

A patient of @DrRobDavidson wouldn’t take the vaccine but requested the antiparasitic ivermectin. Another said the vaccine would *give* them Covid. 🥴 “These are the kinds of lines that the former president threw out there and people latched onto it and just haven’t let go.”
