Byron York’s Daily Memo: Keep your eye on the things that matter

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER. Much of the daily conversation on social media is consumed by ephemera. Is political Twitter being mean to Taylor Lorenz? Does Pepe Le Pew promote rape culture? And what about Harry and Meghan? It’s all fine to think about, as long as you don’t devote too much mental bandwidth to it and don’t forget that there are some enormous things happening in our politics right now.

The fact is, the Biden administration, despite its tenuous holds on the House and Senate, is working to make far-reaching changes to American life. Two of the biggest — and two that could combine to create a crisis — are the COVID relief bill, which the president will sign into law tomorrow, and immigration. They are two key parts of a progressive agenda that Democrats have hoped to pass for many years. Now, in a time of pandemic and post-Trump politics, they see an opportunity.
