He also apparently didn't do anything wrong with Epstein, who said in one of the emails that Clinton had never been to the island, and all the stories about him were "utter fantasy."

This new version of the political game requires a very different response than the ordinary one of waiting for thermostatic backlash to return power to you, & you simply hold onto it.

If Democrats have power returned to them, they'll have to dismantle the Trumpian presidency & refound democracy.
This extraordinary reality calls for something different from the usual approach. Senate Democrats may think they are fighting to position themselves for crossover votes in the midterm elections, but they are actually in a battle for self-government itself — for democratic freedom and the rule of law. In that fight, the goal of any legislative strategy should be to inflict as much pain on the ruling party as is feasible. Democrats were, up until this week, meeting the task at hand. The polling was clear: Republicans were losing the shutdown. Americans were souring on Trump even more than they already had. And nearly half of them were willing to keep the government on hiatus if it meant Congress would retain enhanced tax credits for health insurance. All of this is to say that Democrats will probably do well next year, especially if there is a crisis or disaster between now and next November. The problems come afterward, if and when they hold power in Washington. The task of a new Democratic Congress will be to hold the president accountable, to curb his lawlessness, to investigate his administration and to lay the groundwork for the reconstruction of the federal government in the wake of the implementation of Project 2025 and the president’s reactionary terror. If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform.
