I think it's safe to say that we can retire the "unity" concept

1). The Neera Tanden confirmation...we can't possibly confirm someone who sent "mean tweets"

2). Mike Lee at the Merrick Garland hearing, grilling him...unsuccessfully...about Anti-Semitism

3). Mitch McConnell saying that he's "sure Americans would like a $1400 check, but they don't know what's in the bill," and it's his duty to block it

We need to build our House and Senate majorities to the point where we aren't holding our breath over how Joe Manchin will vote.

If I saw any evidence of an attempt at "unity" on the Republicans' part, I'd acknowledge it.

with Republican extremists, but I understand that it's President Biden's job to continue to talk about and work on uniting this country. That's what real leaders do.
