Ezra Klein

And once Democrats have subpoena powers—

things are going to start coming out.

So I think if I were Donald Trump or the Trump family or a lot of key members of the administration, I'd be pretty worried about Democrats getting that subpoena power.

And I'd be pretty upset that Trump is doing so little to stop it from happening.

So if you're Hakeem Jeffries or you're Chuck Schumer and you're sitting there in the audience last night, I think you're pretty happy with how that speech went.

Because the thing you fear is Trump and the Republican Party getting serious about pivoting into a strategy, into policies, into messages that could help moderate their losses in 2026.

Yeah.

And you didn't see any evidence of either Donald Trump doing that or of Donald Trump being willing to let the rest of the Republican Party say the things necessary for them to do that.
