Barack Obama just delivered a blistering takedown of Trump's lawlessness. Importantly, Obama also offered Dems a way to argue that Trump's dictatorial abuses of power and his imminent wreckage of the economy are the same story. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1936...

Every Democrat in the US Senate could learn a little lesson from Wendy Davis right now. It wasn’t just that she held the floor, but that she turned a procedural thing into a huge story, and it captured people’s attention.
