Lemann sets up central political question of the era: Whether *GOP* can move beyond tax cuts/balanced budget/dereg to plans that address the “widespread discontent with the economic conditions of our time” felt by-but not only by-white non-college voters. https://t.co/cXp7dL1M1o

If they can pass that, and the Medicare drug bill and the ACA subsidy extension — added to the bills they passed already — it ain’t a do-nothing Congress, or a sign of terminal polarized paralysis. Unless you were expecting a New Deal. https://t.co/Qtz4tnk9F6

.@PunchbowlNews suggests GOP midterm strategists are sticking with “economic concerns including inflation and rising gas prices.” Seems insane if inflation eases (esp. gas prices). Illegal immigration, crime, wokeism will not ease. They’ll blow it yet https://t.co/QmEpnBLrf7

Melting Infiniti Update: I called a local dealer, who said there had been a recall for the melting dashes, but it has since been “deleted.” Only options now are a) put on a cover (ugh) or get a new dash installed, estimated at $2000.
