My Build Back Better Act is going to reduce the deficit by more than $100 billion over ten years.

It’s going to lower costs, create jobs, and rebuild our economy. Let’s get this done. https://t.co/VBQJhtBIGL

CBO estimates that the funding for tax enforcement activities provided by H.R. 5376, the Build Back Better Act, would increase outlays by $80 billion and revenues by $207 billion, thus decreasing the deficit by $127 billion, through 2031. https://t.co/GrbShPusVK

The combination of CBO & JCT’s scores over the last week and Treasury analysis make it clear that Build Back Better is fully paid for, and in fact will reduce our nation’s debt over time through $2 trillion+ in revenue raisers and other savings.

The savings that matters the most: if you are spending $800, $900, or $1000 a month on your insulin now, that will be capped at $35 a month. https://t.co/2R0VgNYlv0

New https://t.co/694sju1jzT poll: Joe Manchin has 60% approval compared to Biden’s 32%.

78% support Manchin's efforts to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

Nearly 74% said Manchin should oppose the president’s Build Back Better plan.https://t.co/XoMVkWqntU

Investing in America’s infrastructure was always bipartisan in the Congress, because roads, bridges, water systems, ports, and more impact every town, city, and state — Blue, Red, and Red to Blue as we #BuildBackBetter.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, quoting a moderate Democrat, argues against Dems' Build Back Better Act by saying "nobody elected Joe Biden to be FDR."

"I did."

"Me too." pic.twitter.com/zhOQVi7V9X

Still wondering if his real plan is just to talk long enough so that news of the bills passage doesn't make it on the nightly news (11p).

SUPPORTING FACT: He's just rambling and ranting.

COUNTER POINT: He's not that smart.

— Jesse Ferguson (@JesseFFerguson) November 19, 2021

Kevin McCarthy claiming this is "the single most reckless and irresponsible spending bill in our nation's history" is a real trip, given that the CBO says this bill cost $160 billion, which is almost 1/10th of what the GOP tax bill actually cost.

I'm a broken record on this, but to me, this is the biggest difference between covering the Senate and the House. When you watch the Senate chamber during a vote, you will see genuine bipartisan friendships on display. House members are actively hostile towards each other. https://t.co/TtMhEzslUa

The most egregious example of racial gerrymandering this year: GOP-controlled county commission in Galveston Texas passed new redistricting map eliminating only district held by Black commissioner. This is direct result of SCOTUS gutting Voting Rights Act https://t.co/kbsXzSDZlr

Pretty clear what the game plan is here. Witnesses tie things up in the courts with delays, trials, and appeals until after the 2022 elections, when Republicans hope to retake the House with gerrymandering, then disband the J6 Commission. https://t.co/zDhUX7atyz

Stop obsessing on 2024. Think about the midterms where – partly b/c of gerrymandering – Dems now need a miracle, and the nightmare of 2023

Biden's impeachment and Benghazi-style probes are coming w/out a massive mobilization to stop it. My new column https://t.co/KdMxUAwHrT
