House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is about to join @EmCollective Senior Advisor @evanasmith at #SXSW for @TheAtlantic's FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY summit. I'll be live-tweeting excerpts from their conversation. .@evanasmith kicks off with a question about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (in Pelosi's backyard).

“I don’t think there’s any appetite in this country for bailing out a bank," Pelosi responds, while conceding the need to protect depositors and small businesses. #SXSW

A lot of what was now on the page scared me. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… 2/ The story was scheduled to go up in mid-December, but we put it online right before Thanksgiving, fearing that we'd miss the window. At that point, many people believed that Biden would soon drop out of the race.
