Tim Miller

Anyway, just a thought.

How much power you have.

I should just mention, while we're ranting about inter-coalition issues, Lauren Egan, our colleague, had an interesting story over the weekend about how some DNC members have been privately discussing trying to move out Ken Martin as DNC chair.

Ken Martin gave an incomprehensible interview to Jon Favreau for Pod Save America that I did a live watch of on the stream last week.

If you want to go see that, but like...

I thought it was an interesting story by Lauren, and I think that it is important to understand the degree of anxiety inside the Democratic coalition right now about ensuring maximum success this year.

I just don't think the chair of the party is really as important as other people do.

Having worked at the Republican National Committee, Republicans won some years with bad chairs, lost some years with good chairs.

You know, you can only do so much.

And those committees have gotten less and less powerful over time.

That said, I don't know if you have any observations about the kid, Martin.

I do want to give one shout out, because I think a lot of people miss this.

Are you aware that the shutdown is over?

Good point.

It doesn't even get covered.

It's crazy.

The DHS shutdown is officially over.

The House voted via voice vote to advance the plan that, frankly, Bill Kristol was pushing for many months ago, which is just fund the rest of DHS, but not ICE and CBP.

The Senate had passed that.

A couple weeks ago now, the House was holding out.
