CPAC is now Burning Man for people who commit tax fraud

— sean hannity's bottomless pasta pass (@MenshevikM) February 26, 2021

CPAC’s always been a grift bazaar — excuse me, celebration of capitalism. But until a couple years ago, it was also a gathering where the old pros could parade their laurels and the young hopefuls could strut their stuff, like a right-wing political ComicCon. Post-Trump, it’s reduced to one of those flea-market-adjacent ‘popular culture shows’ where you can buy signed photos with Scott Baio’s understudy, two of the recurring characters from the Dukes of Hazzard, or Clint Eastwood’s orangutan wrangler…

CPAC Open Thread: Ted Cruz Will Never Get the Acclaim He Craves

by Anne Laurie| February 27, 202110:54 am| 151 Comments

This post is in: Cruz-ifiction, GOP Death Cult, Open Threads

He’s got notoriety, some power, support — while he’s perceived as a useful tool — but as he’s only too aware, nobody actually likes Ted Cruz. He’s superficially accepted that he’ll never be loved, but his inability to perform the ‘normal’ political functions far outweighs his self-promotional gifts.

Where was President BIden, on Friday?

Biden tells staff gathered at the Harris County Operations Center that he was eager to send federal aid when Texas Governor Greg Abbott called, telling staff, "Before he asked the question, I said yes."

Abbott laughs, adds "He did, he said yes before I even asked the question." https://t.co/7IoXiFWqgu

Friday Morning Open Thread: Minimum Wage vs. Pandemic Relief?

by Anne Laurie| February 26, 20217:19 am| 169 Comments

This post is in: C.R.E.A.M., Open Threads, President Biden, Republican Venality, Show Us on the Doll Where the Invisible Hand Touched You

Minimum wage increase imperiled in covid relief bill by Senate official’s ruling https://t.co/d9CKdRrFDH

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) February 26, 2021

Accursed Friday news dump, per the Washington Post:

… Democrats had been anxiously awaiting the decision, but their next steps are not clear. Liberals are pressuring Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) to challenge the ruling on the Senate floor, although the White House has dismissed that idea.

Schumer released a brief statement Thursday night vowing to fight on, without saying how…

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement that Biden was “disappointed in this outcome” but “respects the parliamentarian’s decision and the Senate’s process.”

“He will work with leaders in Congress to determine the best path forward, because no one in this country should work full time and live in poverty,” Psaki said. “He urges Congress to move quickly to pass the American Rescue Plan.”

The ruling was made by Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, a nonpartisan official who is little known outside Washington but might command tremendous influence over certain elements of Biden’s agenda. Her ruling pertains only to the Senate, where the legislation will move forward under complex rules that prohibit certain items that don’t have a particular effect on the budget. MacDonough determined that, as written, the minimum-wage increase did not pass that test — an outcome that had been predicted by a number of Democrats, including Biden himself.

Despite her ruling, the House is preparing to vote Friday to pass the stimulus relief package with the $15 minimum wage included and send it to the Senate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement Thursday…

Friday Morning Open Thread: Minimum Wage vs. Pandemic Relief?Post + Comments (169)

Pelosi’s decision to pass the $1.9 trillion relief bill with the minimum-wage language intact means Schumer will face a potentially consequential decision. He could take out the minimum-wage language before putting the bill on the Senate floor, or try to keep it in the bill — whether by challenging the parliamentarian’s ruling or trying to rewrite the provision in such a way that it could pass muster under the Senate’s complicated rules…

… White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain has publicly ruled out trying to overrule the parliamentarian, and Democrats probably would not command the necessary votes to succeed anyway, since at least one Senate Democrat — Joe Manchin III (W.Va.) — has said he would not vote to overrule the parliamentarian…

Several liberal Democrats said Thursday they need to do whatever it takes to raise the minimum wage — including eliminating the filibuster, the 60-vote rule that gives the minority party enormous sway in the Senate. Manchin and Sinema have said publicly they oppose taking that step.

“We still need to pass the minimum wage, and if that means getting rid of the filibuster, so be it,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said.

.@SpeakerPelosi:

“House Democrats believe that the minimum wage hike is necessary. Therefore, this provision will remain in the American Rescue Plan on the Floor tomorrow. Democrats in the House are determined to pursue every possible path in the Fight For 15.”

Needless to say, I place my trust in Nancy Pelosi. (Worse comes to worst — and there will be a lot of words said before the final legislation is sent to President Biden — we Democrats have gone on the record as supporting an essential economic upgrade.)

I do assume there will be some form of Recovery Act passed before mid-March, because either enough Repubs will realize they’re better off doing the right thing, or Manchin & Sinema will decide that posturing as ‘centrists’ for their voters won’t be enough to save them come the next primaries.

They are all Michael Cohen now.

Good luck with your asparagus.

I really should read my own blog.

There will be lawyers.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

I personally stopped the public option…

… makes me wish i had hoarded more linguine

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

What fresh hell is this?

The house always wins.
