that s been sitting there for how many months? they want to be anti-china and look what we re doing for american manufacturing and whatnot, but nobody in the white house is claiming that they are definitely going to get any of those individual pieces, climate or the prescription drug stuff, they d like to, but that s not the reality between now and november. i think there is a window for climate which would be a big deal for the democratic base. and there is a bipartisan consensus on climate. so i do think there is a chance there. i hope you re right. i haven t seen the evidence there. democrats have shown time and time again. they talk about the problems and some kind of legislative solutions. the republicans find issues they can campaign on and win elections on. that s exactly what s happening right now, that democrats haven t acted, for example, to get out ahead of title 42 and pass something in order to deal with this issue, knowing that you had basically expiration date
