Watched the #AR02 debate. I suppose a 1-hour debate could have focused on the COVID-19 alone. Covered a lot of ground, some less informative than others. 1/ 2/ Re: the TCJA, it's an albatross for Republicans. It did not ignite the economy and was a huge boon to corporations. That was before COVID-19. markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/7-…

Very savvy opening statement from Feinstein. Make this nomination all about the ACA, which is very popular with the American people. Trump is in court trying to strike it down. 1/ 2/ Barrett holds a view that state policy determinations should not be revoked by the Court. That’s how she gets past the constitutional problems w/ striking down Roe and same-sex marriage. However it is inconsistent w/ her attitudes towards the ACA. Will make for interesting ?s
