The Dems are no longer in disarray, but the GOP is goofing off

Wait, what? All of a sudden, Democrats are no longer in disarray. Instead, they’re marching in tight formation and achieving major goals. It’s such an unfamiliar sensation that it’s almost hard to recognize when it’s happening.

Transformational legislation like the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) wasn’t possible, according to the hive-mind narrative that many in Washington followed as recently as a few weeks ago. President Biden’s ambitious agenda was supposedly dead in the water. Squabbling Democrats would limp into the midterm elections, the only question how badly they would lose.

Now, it’s a different story.

Final Senate passage on Sunday of the giant climate change, health-care and tax reform package continued a remarkable winning streak for Biden. When House Democrats send the bill to Biden’s desk for his signature, which they could do later this week, the party will have an answer when midterm voters ask the all-important question “What have you done for me lately?”

1. It looks like the Republicans are going to be limping into the midterms, dead in the water

trying to defend fraudulent electoral ballots and electors, an insurrection, and criminal activity by the former president, voting against lowering prescription drug prices, against billionaires paying their fair share of taxes, and against saving medicare and social security.

Kevin McCarthy told Merrick Garland to get his papers ready and don't throw anything away. But I think McCarthy will be gone from Congress before that happens.

Thank you, Kansas. You're the first of much more to come.
