‘I’m Not Signing It’

Purported GOP "centrists" are irritated with Joe Biden. And some White House aides are doing damage control duty. Last week, a handful of readers seemed flummoxed by the derisive cadence I adopted while outlining and editorializing around the bipartisan infrastructure proposal formally unveiled on Thursday.
