The House passed the Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling deal last night with more Democratic than Republican votes. Was it a great deal? No. But did the Dems come out ahead of the Republicans? Without a doubt. Well, that’s my take. As for what Howie Klein thinks? We’ll find out today.
You never know with Howie. One of the things I’ll ask him about today is his post at Down With Tyranny in which he basically says that the three members of Congress vying to replace Dianne Feinstein in the Senate — Katie Porter, Barbara Lee and Adam Schiff — are all progressives, and he actually defends Schiff as just as progressive as Lee!
