Joe Biden refusing to take advice from people who have been wrong about everything for decades could be seen as an indication his brain is still working

Feels like we're veering into territory where Biden needs to go to Walter Reed have the pit crew look him over and publish the report

They went on to say if Black electeds "just want an African American" on the ticket and are less personally loyal to Kamala Harris "then, it's open."

The Dem member of Congress I spoke to said "African Americans are the most formidable bloc" in discussions of Biden's future. "If their delegation is more loyal to having a Black woman than they are to their state party orgs than it is Kamala's."

I really do not like the odds of trying to make it through a fascist season with the level of absolute bullshit currently on display and we were already starting from a bad position

Just pointing out yet again that given the current court system & the views of the Republican Party there is absolutely no reason to expect someone other than Biden would make it on a general election ballot at this stage we left "for the good of the country" by the side of the road 20+ years ago

If we manage to make it to January without one version of dictatorship currently on the table it might be worth just doing a quick employee survey to find out if the Dems believe in the republic or are even aware of the rules

I'm not surprised that Senate Dems are too self absorbed and stupid to figure out that asking Biden to drop out is a suicide mission because the republicans are absolutely not going to allow a do over at this stage but JFC is everyone new here?

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Meanwhile over at the Telegraph, a leader writer wonders if a community taking part in the democratic process means its time to stop "handing citizenship out" to them. The absolute state of this.

real cool watching Starmer just start making appointments because he'd assessed fitness for office before and during the election and isn't hiring his best friend to run a three month process of seeing who will pay the most

I think the thing is that he like a lot of suburbanites who feel entitled to run the city want a few pointless shops open from 8-5 and then a dead core like where they live and they're gonna do their level best to kill the city to get it

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!
