My response to Mike Pence, which I stole from a weeks old @mattyglesias tweet.
It’s been 3 years of Republicans going on TV and saying “Donald Trump built the greatest economy in history” and me screaming “JUST PUT UP THE FUCKING JOBS CHART!”
Now that Trump has destroyed the economy, Democrats have landed on the correct message that it was an economy Trump inherited. But it’s been a mostly unanswered lie for the entirety of Trump’s presidency.
Ah yes, here’s my most recent version.

The national press corps' email obsession wasn’t driven by prior national security commitments. That was obvious at the time, and confirmed by years of relative indifference to the national security implications of the many ways Trump imperils national security as president.
Even the Russia scandal, which the press corps wasn't indifferent to, didn’t generate attention primarily because Trump's conduct imperiled national security.
But Kushner’s clearance, the migration of national security matters to WhatsApp, Trump’s own unsecured phone, his opaque finances, the Trump administration’s OWN EMAIL PRACTICES—all non-stories at this point.

This is an important piece. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Originalism is the doctrine that proves the founders meant to authorize 21st century Republican governing priorities and nothing more.
Let's say you hate the welfare state, but realize it's far too popular and ingrained to be dislodged politically. You have to turn to the courts, which means you need to argue that the things you hate are all by sheer coincidence prohibited by the Constitution. Thus, originalism.

This is why Wray has to go in the next administration. Doesn't matter if he did this reluctantly, doesn't matter if he has a facially valid rationale. We are where we are in large part because of people who know better cooking up facially valid bases for Trump's crooked schemes.
