The good news: Democrats are now one presidential win from getting to govern.
The bad news: Their top 3 economic goals may be incompatible with each other.
To prepare a viable governing agenda, the party must grapple with the tensions between its aims

“Stretched” is a good word — write me a 500-word essay on the legislative purpose of the autopen investigation.
🚨BREAKING NEWS in @PunchbowlNews AM
The White House counsel warned Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, in a new letter that some of the new majority’s investigations could cross the line into criminal behavior.
It’s an audacious claim that signals the White House is taking an aggressive — and hugely controversial — stance toward Democratic oversight in the 120th Congress.
The letter, penned by White House counsel Will Scharf, says that Congress can only investigate matters for a legislative purpose — a position that Republicans have relied on and stretched in recent years.
Further, the Scharf letter, sent to Garcia on Monday, says that Democratic investigations are designed to “harass and aggrandize rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”

I was looking through election results from Travis County and found a fun one from last year. In Bee Cave, TX, voters approved building a new public library by a 13.2 point margin, but rejected the following referendum, which provided the $19.98 million in bonds to pay for it.

Imagine being 1-9 and your teammate is talking about Saddams body guards.
Saddam Hussein kept Christians as his personal staff the people feeding, clothing and bathing. If you ask why? Saddam believed their religious views made them less likely to kill themselves trying to kill him. He was talking about the people with direct access to Saddam’s food and body, not his military commanders.
I’d never heard that account before but this is very telling

Food and energy came in hot. But if you exclude that, goods came in hot. But if you exclude that, shelter came in hot. But if you exclude that, the rest of core non-housing services came in hot.
If you exclude that, then, well, there's nothing left. Let's dig in. /1

There’s a lot we don’t know about 2028. But it's an extremely desirable nomination to win on the D side; less so for the GOP. I doubt any serious D contender will hold out because they’re awaiting a better opportunity. This is as good as it gets.
