“President Biden is preparing to announce what looks like an acceptable domestic-spending compromise that Democrats of all stripes, from progressive to centrist, are prepared to support.

In order to obtain his vote, a critical decarbonization program needed to address the climate-change crisis at a scale proportional to the problem has hit the cutting-room floor.” -TR
