An interesting take on the Manchin-Sinema craziness:

Manchin may suck but he’s predictable, a known quantity. There’s a level of haircut he’ll require on recon bill and then it moves forward. It’s a matter of finding that number. Sinema, it’s become increasingly clear, is a ‘calls are coming from inside the house’ type situation.
