ICYM this week's podcast:

@AJentleson likes the Dem whip count for reforming or killing the filibuster. Says two or three noes is very workable.

Then, @keshavrpoddar explains how Dems can SCOTUS-proof their agenda if they're willing to play hardball.

Thanks @JoshuaHol for having me on his podcast to talk about how Democrats can protect their agenda from the Supreme Court! https://t.co/5KRgq4GLMG

@imguttman Who?

[Council of Economic Advisers Archived @WHCEA46Archive]

The economy added only 49,000 jobs in January, after losing a revised 227,000 jobs in December. This pace is far below the rate necessary to pull us out of the pandemic jobs deficit—there are about 10 million fewer jobs now relative to February.

@DavidNir @Slate Thanks for reading the piece - I didn’t at all mean to suggest that Hyde should be held in reserve and not repealed outright. It definitely needs to go. I think the next step is for Ds to think seriously and strategically about what the specific backups should be for top policies

[Keshav Poddar @keshavrpoddar]

Democrats have the chance to enact transformative legislation, if they can get past the Court. Here’s my piece in ⁦@Slate⁩ with a new idea on how Congress can do that, by using novel backup provisions to protect major programs. https://t.co/8EDLOPIADC

[Carolyn Shapiro @cshaplaw at the other places too @cshaplaw]

This is a fascinating strategy.

@shtick_ @Slate There is a line of Supreme Court cases regarding so-called “directed outcomes.” Most recently, SCOTUS upheld a congressional statute requiring that a specific pending federal lawsuit involving a property be dismissed, in a 2018 case called Patchak v. Zinke https://t.co/rKUPvwegwM

@scottjshapiro Took a break from reading your tweets to write a piece of my own on your favorite topic, court reform. https://t.co/8EDLOPIADC

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

The peaceful transfer of power is a cornerstone of our democracy. We should call this effort to overturn the will of the voters through violence, intimidation, and lies what it is: an attempted coup. This mob and its enablers must stop and must be held accountable under the law.

@JuliaCoppelman Congrats!
