This week may be the Biden administration's low point. So how can Biden regain momentum?

Here are 10 steps he should take, starting this week -- a thread:
1. Reach out to Murkowski, Collins, Romney, and any other possibly principled senate Republican, to gain support for any reasonable compromise on the filibuster (even a “talking filibuster” would be better than the current standoff).
2. Accompany this with a speech about how often the filibuster has been used to block popular legislation, especially over the last dozen years, why it’s fundamentally anti-democratic, and what it’s blocking now — voting rights and highly popular measures in “Build Back Better."

Today's jobs report should cause alarm, by @RBReich robertreich.substack.com/p/todays-jobs-…
The economy is in imminent danger of slowing—as the Dec job numbers reveal. Many Americans will soon need extra help since they can no longer count on extra unemployment benefits, stimulus payments, or additional child tax credits. This isn't the time to put on the fiscal brakes.
Yes, supply bottlenecks have caused the costs of some components and materials to rise. But large corporations have been using these rising costs to justify increasing their own prices when there’s no reason for them to do so.

Corporate profits are at a record high.

Remember when corporations quickly declared their dedication to American democracy by pledging to "pause" or "review" their political contributions to seditionists in Congress?

Let’s follow up on their promises today.
Boeing promised it would "evaluate future contributions to ensure that we support those who…uphold our country’s most fundamental principles.”

The company then gave $190,000 to GOP election objectors.
UPS nobly said that “we must peacefully and constructively find ways to advance the common good of our country.”

The company donated $167,000 to GOP election objectors.

Call me a radical Lefty, but billionaires shouldn’t be setting tax policy by Twitter polls.
With stunts like these, Elon Musk and other modern-day Robber Barons are gleefully making a mockery of how little they pay in taxes.
Remember: Musk pays little in federal income taxes, while his companies have raked in millions in federal contracts.
