Doubling down:

Pelosi pushes Manchin: Speaker puts paid leave back in Biden $1.75T spending bill

I dunno, it seems to me that yesterday’s election results around the country would have emboldened moderate Democrats (a relative term) and discouraged the communists, but I’m neither, so what do I know?

UPDATE: This is interesting:

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro said Wednesday he agrees with Pelosi that Democrats should double down on their progressive agenda, rather than let off the gas. 

"Last night’s results show Democrats need to tune out the noise and deliver both bills in the Build Back Better agenda," he said. "President Biden, Congressional leadership and progressives are doing just that. Let’s get it done."

Okay, let ‘er rip.
