What a shame: This nice new mural of a piping plover was painted over in the pedestrian tunnel at Buena Avenue under DuSable Lake Shore Drive.

yeah in hindsight it seems obvious. putting your password on a post-it note on your work computer? bad, dumb. but writing them down at home? for the vast majority of people (who aren't, say, going to be burgled by the fsb) this poses no, or minimal, risk

No reason to do it before RNC I've said from jump. If you are going to Harris, zero reason to allow RNC to go full target on her (DT comments tonight seem to think she's more likely the nom than Biden for ex)

As people from Massachusetts know, this was Ted Kennedy’s entire deal. I know so many people who called his office with a real problem (eviction, couldn’t afford college, problem with health insurance) and were told that someone was going to help them out, and then someone did.

It seems to me the NYT (and WH Press for that matter) should have cross-referenced the dates of Dr. Cannard’s visits w/ the president’s schedule. On the second of the supposed 8 dates, 8/25/23, Biden wasn’t at the WH for any of that day. He was at Tom Steyer’s place in Tahoe that whole week.

Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

Also not everything is "dementia." A bad speaker getting worse and only being able to work like 6 hours a day isn't necessarily dementia. It's being old as hell and losing a step, which is maybe reason enough to dump him, but it's not necessarily dementia. Dementia is fucking brutal and specific.

No one should expect Biden to step aside until after the RNC...you don't let GOP hammer Kamala via hours of uninterrupted coverage before she's had the chance to establish her narrative via a barnstorm to swing states. If we were further away from RNC maybe...but it's 12 days.
