there is a lot of “democrats are the only agents of american politics” underlying fantasies of contested conventions. meaning, no real consideration for how republicans will respond politically or legally for that matter.

The nightmare for the business-class Trump boosters isn't a slow economy - a slow economy is full of desperate people they can exploit! - but a booming one where workers they steal from or sexually harrass can tell them "fuck you" and walk across the street for better pay.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

“I will not use my office to the fullest extent allowable but my opponent will” is a really bad takeaway actually. Just pack the court man.

This is it. My principal whine is that incumbents automatically win their primaries. I want a Dem candidate who can offer an alternative, and tug on the Overton window. I know I’m wishing for sth that can’t exist, similar to ending the electoral college. “Nobody made them sit it out”. Lol tho

New York City is literally dying from congestion right now. Ambulances can't get patients to the hospital in time and fire trucks labor to reach fires. Every second counts! When our leaders come out against #CongestionPricing, they are saying that they don't care about us or our lives, full stop.

reminder that the part of the San Diego coast that never has 90+ days is mostly the same part that we make it illegal to build dense housing in. Most of it has a 30 foot height limit.

I wonder how many other politicians are looking at Biden's "reward" for scrupulously following DOJ protocol and resolving to never ever do that if they're in power

It's worth paying attention to what Liz Kruger, the chair of the NYS Senate Finance Committee, has been saying. She's offered perhaps the most thorough evisceration of Hochul's decision of any elected official.

Housing prices are the single most important part of people's lived experience of "the economy" and the only way to make them better is to build a hell of a lot more housing. This is progressive.
