Neera Tanden probably shouldnât have tweeted so muchâon that, it seems, everyone can agree.
While the new congress navigates a stimulus package for the COVID-19 ravaged country and the new president negotiates a new kind of relationship with the state murder-sanctioning Saudi regime, Bidenâs nominee for the Office of Management and Budget has given us the new administrationâs first petty-seeming scrum: As the head of establishment liberal think tank the Center for American Progress for the past nine years, Tanden tweeted reams of nasty personal attacks against Republicans, progressive Democrats, and non-famous Twitter users who disagreed with her. Theyâre all mad about it, and as a result, her confirmation is in peril.
