Today’s notice: It’s full-time campaign season now. Senate Democrats put on a can-do attitude post-Kamala Harris’ econ speech. The House takes an ugly turn before recess. The government is staying open (for now).


Reality (probably) bites

For nearly an hour Wednesday, Kamala Harris laid out an economic policy vision in Pittsburgh. It was likely the high water mark for this vision, given that the best case scenario for it is to run into an intractable Congress and the worst case is for it to end up on the scrap heap because the close election goes to Donald Trump.
