Every morning this week at 8:45, a newly established “war room” has convened at the White House, with about 20 staffers logging onto a Zoom call to coordinate messaging and deployment of critical resources.
The operation has nothing to do with the crisis in Afghanistan — it’s about keeping President Biden’s big infrastructure push on track. Even amid the fall of Kabul to the Taliban and the frantic, last-minute military operation to rescue thousands of Americans and vulnerable Afghans, the White House has maintained its overarching focus on the domestic matters it has prioritized for the last eight months.
“The No. 1 priority for our cabinet overall, from our perspective here, is to build support throughout the [August] recess process for the legislative agenda,” said Neera Tanden, a senior advisor to the president who oversees the war room. Tasked with building support for a $1.2-trillion bipartisan infrastructure measure and the Democrats’ $3.5-trillion budget proposal, Tanden is dispatching cabinet members to key states, monitoring lawmakers’ town halls and arranging hundreds of local TV interviews with administration officials.
Keeping up that effort in a week that saw Biden thrown into crisis mode amid the messy U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is the sort of intense multitasking that the presidency demands. But it also reflects an administration’s determination — unusual in the modern era — to plow past the news of the day without diverting its focus from a singular agenda.
The administration’s discipline has helped it maintain public support and kept things on track thus far.

The article can't be true since Joe can't focus on anything long enough to understand it.
These are the Assistant Democrats that enabled it.
Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)
This is typical of liberals in general. They ignore the real problems and instead focus on the easy stuff - the stuff that can be “fixed” by spending money and making feel-good pronouncements.

Wait ‘til Henri hits. Is feeble Fema ready?
The focus of the junta is crushing domestic opposition. Now they are arresting prominent commentators who were present -outside- the Capitol on January 6.
American lives are no 1 domestic issue
You mean Mitch, Mitt, and “ Stay Tuned “ Limpsey are on the list of Quislings.
Please, say it ain’t so !
Is this a hit piece or one where Biden is in charge because he is working on domestic policy
I think the Neo-Marxists call this crap "gaslighting".
Yes, LA Times, Afghanistan is just a “hot spot” that has flared up.
Never let a crisis go to waste. And the end result of all this will be hundreds of thousands of refugees coming here to complete the transformation of America. That’s all liberals care about, so for them, this is a big success.
Zoom calls? I wonder why they want their conversations routed through servers located in China.
hot spots?!?!? The greatest military collapse and abandonment of principle in the history of the country is . . . a “hot spot”?
Scarcely a peep from poor benighted Haiti . . .
Good point. The Dems are already demanding we open up for a flood of refugees from that part of the world. As those pouring in from the southern border, they too are likely to be Dem voters in perpetuity.
Plenty of Pukes too.
The GOP is determined to get this done for Senile Joe.
