* How Trump’s king-like abuses are, for the first time in a decade, becoming hard to distinguish from kitchen-table issues;

* Whether, given the galvanizing power of No Kings, Democrats should pivot to the theme (away from health care) and make a national scandal of Trump’s demolition of the White House to build a palace ballroom;

* The importance of message amplification in getting people to care about anything when their day-to-day lives are unaffected by political scandal.
