then there was this to wrap up my bias confirmation with a bow:
Bernie Sanders told me the Senate Budget Committee would move in May to advance another budget resolution next month. The move would set the stage for another effort to advance Biden’s agenda through the reconciliation process that can’t be filibustered.

Makes me wonder if Bernie backers might have gotten more of what they wanted earlier w/o the strange 4-year interlude by supporting Hillary stronger in 2016. Guess we ll never know

OP-ED: Pleasantly boring, or how Joe Biden succeeds by not being Donald Trump
Mark Z. Barabak
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Aaron Elkins is a political independent with little use for Democrats or Republicans. He s never been a fan of Donald Trump and couldn t bring himself to support Joe Biden. So in November he voted for a third-party candidate he can t even remember.
But 100 days into Biden s administration, Elkins is largely pleased with the president s performance.
It s not so much what Biden has done: the massive COVID relief bill he pushed through Congress, the stepped-up federal response to the pandemic he s overseen, or the gargantuan infrastructure bill he s dangled before lawmakers.
As a candidate, Joe Biden made lots of promises for his first 100 days as president. He’s kept many, but not all.
It’s also why national polls show a majority of Americans supporting Biden and his expansive agenda. His approval rating stands a few ticks above 50%; not flashy, but a level of backing Trump never achieved his whole time in office.
“I don’t think he’s a knock-it-out-of-the-park president,” said independent Ivan Valles, 44, a geographer for a land survey firm
who voted for Biden after his preferred candidate, Andrew Yang, failed to win the Democratic nomination. “But at least he’s brought some stability, some normalcy, some dignity back to the office.”
