Yglesias on topic just a short while ago:

(a) I think most moderate Democrats want some form of Build Back Better to pass

(b) Isn’t the proximate political problem pretty clearly about Covid and inflation rather than any of the big factional divides? https://t.co/DcNJOXcSxc

(c) What's vexing about the BBB situation is that the House-passed bill has real virtues but also serious flaws, and on its face Manchin's stated concerns are consistent with writing a *better* bill — unclear what the actual obstacle is.
