Useful prediction from Summers. All it means is that no matter what happens he can claim he was right.

Wait - @MarshaBlackburn refused to back @RonWyden’s subpoena of Epstein’s bank records, which show billions linked to sex trafficking? Has her Epstein crusade been entirely performative? Maybe local media could ask the governor wannabe about this? newrepublic.com/article/1982...

Hey Dems—please “politicize” the tragic flooding in Texas. People need to understand that gutting “waste” at FEMA and the National Weather Service caused unnecessary deaths and will cause more in the future. Politics isnt a game—it’s a matter of life and death.

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong. What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

You might say Cory Booker’s epic speech didn’t change anything. The media barely noticed and Trumpian hearts and minds are not likely to change. But I believe this is an inflection point. The people have forced their Democratic leaders to step up and lead. Let’s keep it up.
