Schumer says Biden just called him and he told him: “I knew we would get this done.”

In the end, Dems remained united behind an enormous package nearly three times the 2009 stimulus that will help untold numbers of people. Amid two of the biggest US crises of modern times, it's sobering to imagine what we'd be seeing now if it weren't for the Georgia runoffs.

1. The fact that it passed with no republican support

should be all the argument needed to convince all dems to get rid of the filibuster.

2. not all Dems need convincing

...but in this close majority, it's one or two holdouts who have said they'd block it.

One cares more about corps in his state than the poor folks who voted for him, another holdout got elected promising to fight for a higher wage. Logic isn't going to work better with them than raw political confrontation, organization, and, ultimately, challenges.

3. I was trying to be diplomatic when I said All.

4. Schumer has two of my favorite presidents on his wall.

Well-placed, too.

I like that.
