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

— U.S. CBO (@USCBO) November 18, 2021

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.

— Secretary Janet Yellen (@SecYellen) November 18, 2021

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

Had Paterson taken his medicine it would barely have made a splash between Strictly and the next distraction.

But now this will smoulder and be a focal point of opposition to the corruption and erosion of democracy the UK is suffering under this regime.

If HMG goes big/nuclear on Article 16, the EU is preparing the ground to do so too. A big UKG response will be met with an even bigger, more forceful, EU one

This is the miscalculation I fear Johnson & Frost are about to make

With 94% of the estimated vote in, Republican Glenn Youngkin is leading Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia's governor race. #ElectionDay2021

We shouldn’t be surprised McAuliffe lost. Biden is really unpopular. The last few months have shown him unable to pass legislation he claims is critical for the country. That is a spectacle of weakness while voters see the country as beset by problems. https://t.co/LhDnEPFdnj

If the New Jersey governor's race stays this tight, it'll be another example of Democrats trying to tie Republicans to Trump and failing, says @stephanie_murr.

Here's how it's looking at 35% of the expected vote in.

With 77% of the vote counted in #NJ, we're basically at a tie: #Ciattarelli (R) 49.86%, Gov. #Murphy (D) 49.41% — a difference of 9,000 or so votes. A source says that the remaining votes are expected to come from Dem areas, but we'll see. This was not supposed to be close.

Biden won VA by 10 but he won NJ by 16. So depending on the results, your VA-specific takes may not hold up well. Nationalized elections don't always calcify states; they can produce national thermostatic backlashes to the party of the presidency.

Not voting for Democrats is totally understandable. But how is voting for a Trump-led, incoherent, race-baiting, delusional and anti-democratic party so normalized?

I blame the media for not establishing that if you don’t believe in democracy, you don’t deserve to receive votes.

Hey don’t think of it as losing an election, thinking of it as gaining a wake up call

In all of the political analysis, there is a truth that must be understood.

Republicans win by weaponizing racism, and Democrats lose by trying to ignore it.

— Charles Booker (@Booker4KY) November 3, 2021

I have views on what Democrats are doing wrong politically, but the basic issue is that we are out of touch. I've never seen such wildly pro-labor sentiment in America in in my lifetime, but the Democratic governing class has no connection to the working class.

— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) November 2, 2021

Yes, Youngkin did in fact run ‘on straight up racism.’ Wonder how many members of my ‘liberal’ industry will be willing to say this straight up tomorrow, in all the Virginia post mortems. https://t.co/96jAhCUN0l

Maybe, just maybe, the “debacle” in Virginia could have been avoided if we had a Congress that listened to the overwhelming majority of Americans and passed progressive policies like paid family leave and expanding Medicare instead of bowing down to wealthy campaign contributors https://t.co/TgJNXkvuFY

Whoever wins today, Dems will have to reckon with this: They are facing a lopsided communications imbalance, one that enablied Youngkin and his allies to employ a massive propaganda apparatus to pump right wing sewage at the GOP base for months. My latest:https://t.co/dh0mYAagvH
