    We’re about to see 40 years of social progress that was fought, scratched, scraped, and crawled for rolled back over the next 4 years because a decent amount of the general public didn’t believe the progress actually happened to begin with.

    Rep. Zach Nunn: “We will certainly help those thousands of homes & families who have been devastated, but we also expect you to change bad behavior. We should look at the same for these blue states who have run away with a broken tax policy…those govs need to change their tune” https://t.co/8NufH3uF6S

    NEWS: SALT Republicans raised alternative debt limit plays w/ Trump this weekend, per sources

    Ideas floated: Reconciliation, regular order, March funding bill, attaching debt to Cali disaster aid. Trump didn’t take a position

    Nancy Mace loved the “uneducated” as Trump calls them. Please explain to me how the same damn Karen that called Cap Police on a child who shook her hand wanted to act like she wanted to fight me?!

    ME… the same person who has represented real killers in court.

    She’s an attention seeking loser who clearly has some fundraising goals to hit… and to be clear that is the only thing that she will hit…

    SN: Republicans incite violence from the highest levels of government & ALSO claim to be the party of law & order. The two cannot be true! Do yourself a favor, decide to require better of your electeds. Last I checked, threatening members in a committee room doesn’t exactly reduce the cost of eggs.

    I’ve now seen 6 reports on Michelle Obama’s decision to skip Trump’s inauguration — CNN, NBC, AP, CBS, Politico and The Hill — and not one mentions that Trump skipped Biden’s just 4 years ago. Editors?

    My guess is we’re at or near peak-Trump Vibes. He just won. Lots of corporations and entertainers wanted to move right but didn’t have the excuse to do so and they used his win to make their pivot. That’s been a vibes multiplier.

    Trump won by 1.5 points. House R’s have the smallest majority since the Great Depression. Senate R’s hold 53 seats. The vibe victory was much larger than the political victory, and when things move back to politics, it’s going to get harder.

    When the administration begins it’s going to be full of hard choices and actual policies and infighting and factions are going to get disappointed and crises are going to get mishandled and opposition is going to find its lanes of attack and it’s all going to get less vibey.

    But I could be wrong!

    This doesn’t mean dems don’t have work to do.

    Trump loses if not for black and Latino voters.

    This loss has me more concerned than 16 as Harris ran 5 POINTS BETTER with white voters than Hillary and did WORSE IN the E.C. https://t.co/4Na9wghc2K

    Important points from @ezraklein below. On our pod, historian @julianzelizer made a similar case in an interesting way after I asked him if this moment has parallels to the feeling after Bush’s victory in 2004. Dems should emulate the party of 2006:

    A new @FTC report finds that the “Big Three” pharmacy benefit managers — middlemen for 80% of prescriptions — jacked up the price of lifesaving medications by hundreds and thousands of percent, raking in over $7.3B in extra revenue.

    Corporate greed is a threat to public health.
