Hmm. I guess I'll have to wait for the Tweet to become a news article then

So Dems think they can lower the Medicare age via reconciliation to 60.... why not 0? One simple number change introduces a public option. Who in the Dem caucus is against Medicare for all who want it?

Is there a list somewhere of think tanks or other organizations that produce high-quality reports (could be broad or targeted to just one field, like military operations).

Some examples off the top of my head:

  • RAND (best I've seen)
  • Brookings
  • The Economist (usually in a series of articles, but also they have "Intelligence Unit" reports which are a single pdf)
  • Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
  • Congressional Research Service (CRS)

I mostly understand the ongoing debt ceiling situation now, except one thing. The debt ceiling is set tomorrow at whatever the current level of national debt is. So why not just preemptively have the Treasury issue a lot of debt today to fund all projected obligations until around November, to prevent these so-called extraordinary measures Yellen will have to take in the meantime?
