PARTY OF YOUTH UPDATE: Democratic Death Watch: ‘Biden’s agenda is pretty much dangling by a thread.’ “Yes, my headline is pretty blunt but no more so than this NY Times piece itself. Last week CNN published a story about the progressive push to get Justice Breyer to retire. There’s was one paragraph in that story which I found particularly striking. It noted that the Senate could fall into Republican’s hands ‘at any moment’ because ‘two members of the Democratic majority are near or just over 80 years old.’ In other words, Democrats are one stopped heartbeat away from losing the chance to replace Breyer with a young progressive. Today, the NY Times weighs in with a piece that is focused not just on Justice Breyer but the possibility that President Biden’s entire agenda could come to a grinding halt if the wrong people were to die suddenly.”
