1. Good strategic move for @SpeakerPelosi to reintroduce a skinnier Heroes 2.0 Act & force McConnell to put up, or shut up. However, she should also do a full-court press on comms for this- otherwise, media will make assumptions as to the strategy. @ruhle thinks @TeamPelosi

2. would make Americans suffer through the holidays under the assumption that Biden looks primed to win and thus a better deal is likely. I doubt that is her calculus. The Speaker knows full well the extent of suffering now that all the old aid has dried up. This is why I've been

3. arguing TheDemocrats/ @SpeakerPelosi/ @SenSchumer should select a couple of members w strong comms skills to start holding regular pressers- as Trump does- to ensure the American people hear a competing narrative for the House. Biden can't do this- he has to sell his candidacy

4. There are so many people in @TheDemocrats House caucus that hammer messaging home so effectively that it would really screw McConnell. You intro the bill, now you call the presser- lay out what's in the bill for regular Americans, for the states (for "law & order") & you call

5. on McConnell to pass the bill- right now, today. You do that, I guarantee you, he'd shit his pants. And then if he doesn't do it. You schedule another presser for the next day. You hold his feet to the fire- hold that whole damn party to it. Rem- this is a party in which 30

6. of so of its members don't want to vote yes on it bc they're stingy bastards. You've got several endangered GOP senators that'll be forced to vote yes to improve their chances in the general (it won't help them though, their gooses are cooked) or keep their crazy base happy.

7. Theirs is a party that is falling apart at the seams. Go on offense. Go force a vote. Use public pressure. Make your own bully pulpit. Unleash @chrismurphy, @KamalaHarris @duckworth, @brownshard @SenSherrodBrown, @SenGillibrand @timkaine & def the boss @warren on Sunday shows

8. Stack those pressers with your best communicators- people who can really talk to the American people and make it clear as to who is screwing them- you know, people like @RepKatiePorter who ran in a district w an R voter reg adv but ran from a position of strength- presenting

9. to her voters a strong case as to how 40 yrs of Reaganomics has drained them of their $, their social mobility, and their trust in government- but that they have it in their power RIGHT NOW to end it and take it all back. People want you to get out there and and tell the GOP

10. no mas! Get on the train or get out of the way. But you've gotta create a clear, elite-led comms push, they have one, you need one @SpeakerPelosi. BC right now, reg people blame "Congress" for their woes.

You want that blame clearly define as Republicans in Congress.
