Good idea. Pass everything for five years, then run on it:
Pelosi said last night Ds will have do "fewer things well" in big bill
So I tried to pin her down on if that means they'll have to drop something, like Medicare expansion, paid leave, etc.
She said she hopes those stay and adds: "Mostly we would be cutting back on years" pic.twitter.com/15U2PlKICu

Biden’s compassion for and work to note the real human costs to our soldiers is a note that many lefty pundits may minimize and Fox will try desperately to denigrate… but it’s the heart of why that speech was brilliant.

Pres Biden faced fierce criticism over the last few weeks over his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan & the way in which he did it. He is pushing back hard on that criticism & pointedly defending his choice not to continue the two-decade war w/ another generation of troops.

The US political press's utterly hysterical, contextless, bloodthirsty blitz of negative coverage of Biden's Afghanistan pullout has managed to drive his approval rating down, which the press will then use to justify its negative coverage. Just a disgusting performance.
