Summary

Will the Jeffrey Epstein case tear the Trump White House apart? Scott and Jessica talk through the discord over the Epstein files inside the administration — and in the Republican base, and they discuss why Trump is acting like a very guilty person. How can Dems tell the difference between what they should focus on to win elections, and what’s just a distraction? Plus — a new proposal in the House to finally do something about our gerontocracy problem. Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov. Follow Prof G, @profgalloway.
