Adam Tooze's comments here are extremely insightful. Among other things, Adam explains why keen observers around the world understand the leadership of Chuck Schumer and Hakeen Jeffries to be no leadership at all. The Brooklyn dudes don't understand how to be an opposition, to put it simply.

The president lies about the serial killers he employs.
President Donald Trump said the woman killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over” the agent who shot her in self-defense, making the claim within hours of the shooting, before investigators had completed their work.
Trump defends ICE, seeks to define shooting before facts are established
Trump seized on partial video footage to impose his interpretation of the shooting as investigators worked to establish the facts.

This is Renee Good.
She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

Coming up with plans is trivial. Getting them through Congress is another matter altogether. Cuban’s being an idiot here. The reason the plans look “half-assed” is that they’re compromises that have a slight chance of passing both Houses of Congress and signed by the President.

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”
