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

Project 2025 has been all over the media including many outlets we know Trump reads and yet no outrage over his cognitive decline?

the left's ready to believe something like this and the right will eat it up too even if they don't buy that the NYT is pro-Trump—a win-win!

i have no illlusions anymore of a "free and independent" press, but i know media outlets want ad and subscriber money and nothing screams clicks like stories about the most well known paper in the country possibly trying to influence an election

what i mean by this is that if they did in fact get their way, i don't think the evangelicals are going to be "yay our bible is now law of the land" so much as "wait...why 𝘥𝘪𝘥 the government make the bible the law of land?"

Dan Pfeiffer made the point that it was his team that wanted the early debate thus explicitly debunking the idea that they knew he wasn't capable. Now they could have on blinders and not recognize the deficiencies of their candidate or debate night was actually an abnormality.

many of people's assumptions about the plan are false (like taxis and ubers aren't being charged) are false and can be found here but that's putting way too much onus on the average commuter congestionreliefzone.mta.info

the staggeringly frustrating thing about the congestion pricing debacle is that if there'd been actual messaging about how it would all work, commuters would know it already credits $5 for most of them making it a $10 toll www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/n...

the reason why billionaires have been bribing SCOTUS is b/c it's a well accepted fact that people hate corps and since corps can't be trusted to protect worker's basic needs, SC is saying "trust us to decide what you need", which just amounts to deregulation of all protections for us peasants

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.
