Something that really annoys me is that if Stephanopoulos wanted to make this about Biden's cognitive ability, then he could have asked pointed and substantive questions about policy. Make Biden get into details, and put him on the spot. That would have had actual value for voters.

The attempt to get radical leftists to engage with politics as it is lived is actually mostly a struggle to get them to not prefer a glorious suicide over a frustrated life

Speaking as someone who did not vote for Biden in either the 2020 or 2024 primary: he doesn’t have to be able to do the job for the next four years. He just has to do it for six more months.

The Chevron ruling means that soon, in states like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, home to millions of people, there will be zero institutional recourse for real basic shit because there is no other blue bulwark against the far right courts. Find those orgs and donate.

Hello @rhi.bsky.social , I was wondering if you were involved in any playtests of the upcoming Tomb Raider TTRPG? I was in a recent playtest and was impressed by the game’s narrative focus, so I thought it would be perfect for you.

It's different because it was MUCH later in the campaign, but FWIW, 24 representatives, 15 senators, and 7 governors said they wouldn't vote for Trump or called on him to get out after the Access Hollywood tape in 2016. Obviously, he stayed in. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

1) they are private companies that are kept alive by ad sales, which require views and clicks. There's no conspiracy needed, Trump is controversy, and while he was in office, media viewership soared. After Biden came into office, it plummeted. Simple as.

The fact that only the president enjoys complete immunity, and that he also has the power of pardon is part of what is so terrifying about the ruling. It means that those beneath him are entirely at his good graces and arbitrary will. It's a power machine, not a check on his power.

This is exactly what the presidents who appointed them always intended for them to do, exactly the act for which these thugs in robes have been lavishly rewarded ahead of the fact by christian billionaires who intend to control our bodies and lives through punishment and fear.

This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects.

The media has been out for Biden’s head ever since he bravely withdrew from Afghanistan. See: making great job reports seem negative. I’m almost coming around to rolling with Kamala just because otherwise there will be no Trump reporting. Only Joe’s age. Though they’ll likely do the same to her.

JUST IN: Labour heading toward a landslide victory in the UK. This is their return to power, for the first time since 2010. National exit poll, released moments ago, shows them above 400 seats. The ruling conservatives projected at 131, which would be their lowest since WWII.
