  A sort of shock over his intimacy level with President Trump has put a bevy of catchphrases into elite conversation — “le bromance” for the relationship, “the Trump whisperer” for Macron himself, and so on.
  Of course, there are limits — sharp ones — to the power of hype to influence policymaking. And more deeply, there are constraints

• Senate embarrassed itself in the Facebook hearings: Letters

  Regarding Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s congressional hearings: It seems to me that the Senate could have made a lot more progress during those hearings if all those senators literally and figuratively took a back seat and let their young aides sit up front and ask the questions.
  Like me, those old geezer senators do not have a handle on social media, the internet and technology. They were just up there embarrassing themselves, but like a lot of politicians, they have very little shame.

  This is a midterm election year unlike any other — insofar as Donald Trump is a president unlike any other, and there’s little doubt that Democrats would like November’s vote to be a referendum on Trump’s presidency.
  But there are some important resonances with the recent past this time around. If Republicans lose out, Democrats will all but certainly follow their voters’ preferences and try to impeach Trump. Such a move would summon forth memories of the last presi
