Description
As Democrats' massive reconciliation bill makes its way through the
machine, one item is getting all the attention right now: health care.
It’s a fight that basically boils down to Nancy Pelosi versus … everyone
else — with the legacies of Pelosi, Sanders and Biden at stake. Playbook
co-author Rachael Bade and POLITICO's Alice Miranda Ollstein take us to
Capitol Hill, where the knives are coming out: leaders fighting behind
closed doors about policies they've agreed on for years — or thought

Affordable Care Act and dueling visions for the Democratic Party.

Rep. Jerry Nadler opposed the House antisemitism bill. Here's why: Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has represented a big piece of Manhattan since 1992, is one of the longest-serving Jewish members of the House. He’s also a Columbia University alumnus: he was on campus in 1968 when police cleared Hamilton Hall of anti-Vietnam war protesters. Nadler is a close observer of the Middle East and the politics of Israel in the U.S. And he’s the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, where he’s long seen himself as a champion of civil liberties. All of this background helped put Nadler at the center of a swirl of events this week as pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia were ejected from Hamilton Hall, as President Biden made his first public remarks about campus protests, as a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel seemed tantalizingly close and as the House passed, by an overwhelming majority of 320 to 91, the Antisemitism Awareness Act — a bill against which Nadler led the oppositio by Playbook Deep Dive
