2. The Senate:
--enacts filibuster reform that gets rid of the filibuster of the motion to proceed, and requires a talking filibuster & 41 votes to sustain it

3. Biden, in State of the Union:

--announces he's asking Pelosi to move other individual bills on climate and immigration provisions Reps have said they're for (e.g., Dreamers)

4. Upshot:
--Biden on offense on many fronts, different Dem groups rally on their key issues
--grumbling from Left reinforces idea Biden's an activist centrist addressing real issues, not a progressive wish list
--Republicans pressured and wedged
--Dems have a chance in 2022
