People naturally think of Nancy Pelosi's Trump era exploits, but a lot of the most interesting and impressive aspects of her career date back much earlier — ahead of the curve on China, a critical architect of the 2006 midterm win.

I listened to this yesterday, but watching the video just now hit different. I think Ezra Klein is speaking not just an astute observer of politics, but as a husband and a father who's scared to death about the wave of violence that's about to crash over our heads. I don't know what to do either.
"I had friends say to me, look, we can oppose political violence without whitewashing this guy. I spent some time thinking about that over the weekend...and my reaction honestly is that it is too little to just say we oppose political violence."
