Knee-jerk moderation and the need to make everything worse in the name of compromise. Disgusting.

Coons: PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SOMEONE WHO WILL WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO HEAR SENATOR CASSIDY SAY REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS STIMULUS BILL, THIS COVID RESPONSE BILL, HE IS GOING TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. I HAVE BEEN A GOOD FRIEND AND PARTNER WITH HIM WORKING ON NATIONAL SERVICE ISSUES, FOR EXAMPLE. I THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN CHALLENGED US TO DO TWO THINGS -- DELIVER RELIEF TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR THE ONGOING PANDEMIC AND RECESSION CAUSED BY IT, AND FIND WAYS TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. THE URGENCY OF THE ISSUE MEANS HE IS MOVING AHEAD AND WE ARE MOVING AHEAD WITH THIS $1.9 TRILLION BILL THAT HAS A BROAD SUPPORT AMONGST VOTERS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS AND PARTIES.

How do we beat Kevin Hensley (and other so-called moderate Republicans)?  I'm seriously asking. For me, the simple fact that Hensley is a Republican is enough. Turns out, I'm not normal.  We have about 20 months, so what's the game plan? This is huge -> President Biden announces we will now have enough vaccine supply for 300 million Americans by the end of May.  This is 2 months earlier than last estimates, and possible because Biden is using the Defense Production Act to have companies help produce the J&J vaccine. And now the punch line: AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas ends mask mandate after 8 months, becoming largest state to lift order intended to prevent spread of COVID-19.   Idiots.
