Democrats are losing so much of the middle-of-the-caucus dead weight this term. This is a generation opportunity for progressives to reshape the core of the party on a federal level, made all the more important by the impending post-Pelosi leadership fight.

Just one provision in BBB: universal pre-school. For the first time in decades we are adding two years to universal education. Think about it. We are going from 12 to 14 years of free universal public education.

I’ve been working closely with my colleagues on prescription drug reform. We’ve now reached an agreement that will drive down prices and lower out-of-pocket costs for seniors. This will be a big win for Arizona seniors and I’ll keep working to get it over the finish line.

"Our people won't support it if your people support it" rather gives the game away here, and that's ultimately what he's saying.

It's pretty much a straight up admission that all rocks are the wrong rocks.

What's about to become a cash crop in Virginia can still get you prison time in North Carolina.

We've artificially limited housing.

We've artificially limited spots at good colleges.

We've artificially limited who can think of themselves as a Real American.

And now we're fighting each other to the death over these artificial limits we made.
