This one does a bit. I thought Monday's letter was at least coordinated with Democratic leadership, but it increasingly seems like this was the White House unilaterally issuing a party directive, and it seems like Congressional Dems did not care for it.

Biden said "Try me" and increasing numbers are replying, "Don't mind if I do."

Which . . . yeah. Did not entirely see that one coming. Not completely out of the blue, but didn't realize the bluff-calling card was in this deck.
