In 2011 Republicans used the debt ceiling to cripple Obama and impose trillions in cuts. Today, Dem leaders agreed to lift the debt ceiling for the remainder of Trump’s presidency but reimpose it in 2021, when Republicans could again use it to cripple a Democratic president.

I don’t think people realize how much worse the attack on our elections could have been if Russia had exploited all the vulnerabilities it identified in 2016.
We might not be so lucky in 2020.

Last week, @HouseDemocrats funded intel agencies, strengthened electoral security, gave over 30 million workers a raise & rejected racism. Meanwhile, Senate GOP blocked a vote to get 9/11 first responders medical care. Tell me again which party gets to claim mantle of patriotism.

Nothing lasts forever, but new @maristpoll NPR numbers on col+ whites are stunning: 67% say economy working for them; but only 38% approve of Trump job performance & 34% say they'll vote to reelect. 60% say they definitely won't vote to reelect
Very few pundits take seriously what happened in 2018 and what it means for our politics and for 2020.
One notable exception is @RonBrownstein, who has a new piece asking whether some of these white voters have been "permanently repelled" by Trump:

But just 41% back Medicare-for-All with elimination of private insurance.

Amy Wax thinks that a immigration policy should privilege Europeans as culturally compatible with the U.S.
I disagree. European civilization is different from American civilization. Many immigrants from other regions are more compatible than Europeans: nationalreview.com/2019/07/a…
