What’s interesting too is that this charm offensive is entirely aimed at NPR liberals and the center-left. Folks on the right know the score and they’d be pissed to find out otherwise.— Oboe (@EoboOboe) September 18, 2021

At the same time, in terms of the infrastructure bill, headlines seem to focus on the cost of the bill, rather than the content, which lends credibility to the GOP's argument that the real issue is "fiscal responsibility." It's a very jarring contrast to the debt ceiling debate— Magdi Jacobs (@magi_jay) September 22, 2021

Here’s an unexpected plot twist. Boebert says she thinks she can be a great unifier between Repubs and Dems, and would like to sit down with AOC: “I really want to share my experiences and my stories with them. Just to sit there and yell at them, and tell them how wrong they are, isn’t going to do anything.” pic.twitter.com/uV8nfYvKvT— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) September 21, 2021
If Republicans do not want to participate in our government, then let's give them their wish. Abolish the filibuster and stop trying to compromise with these people. https://t.co/k5NrMPQmd4— MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) September 22, 2021

I feel like perhaps there isn't enough alarm that there was an actual memo circulating in the actual presidential administration about How To Stay In Office Despite Losinghave we really normalized bad stuff this much— Gerry Doyle (@mgerrydoyle) September 20, 2021 A literal presidential coup memo: Not worth covering for the morning or evening national news shows on ABC, CBS, or NBC. https://t.co/lP1c3hFgVh— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) September 22, 2021
I came across this quote in my reading this morning: A small body of powerful men, whose influence had won them a large following, aimed at domination under the honorable name of "champions of the patricians" or "defenders of the plebs." Men were not to be called good or bad citizens in regard to their services to the commonwealth in this general corruption; but any man was classed as a "good citizen" in proportion as his resources increased his power to hurt, and in so far as he championed the existing state of things. That's from Historiae Fragmenta by the Roman historian Sallust (86-35 B.C.), describing Rome around the time of the Second Punic War (around 200 B.C.).
I'm not sure if I've recommended Mike Duncan's Storm Before The Storm on this board. It's a history of Rome from around 150 to 75 BCE, which the author believes most closely resembles our own. Highlight for spoiler: It doesn't end well for them.

Media should stop referring to voting laws in places like Texas as “strict.” They are not strict, they are racist and suppressive.— Kaivan Shroff (@KaivanShroff) September 23, 2021
This acceptance of the anti-democratic right-wing framing behind these laws seems to be a feature, not a bug, of media framing.
So Biden won again. Ho hum Breaking: The recount of Maricopa County's 2020 vote confirms that President Biden won and the election was not "stolen" from Trump, according to early versions of a report prepared for the Arizona Senate.https://t.co/TZ9iS3FsQC— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) September 24, 2021
