How WashPost and ABC each decided to frame the ABC/WashPost poll. You tell me there's not bias in the media?

even the dumbest man on the face of the earth who also happens to be the leader of the GOP can sense if you created a single document enveloping every policy that you and the GOP are plotting to execute if you win, & were honest about it, it would feel resoundingly diseased to normal people

They only had one brand of artist's grade watercolors in the one I went to. It seemed more geared towards crafts than art.

I'll confess I went once because I heard they had good deals on watercolor sheets. A, they didn't have any good deals, and B, their watercolor paper was shitty.

"I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." - me (Widespread attribution of this quote to Mark Twain is wrong and while Clarence Darrow said something similar, it wasn't this, so I'm claiming it.)

Hypothetical: Does anyone know what would happen if the republican candidate randomly dropped dead say, Friday, before a vice presidential nominee is identified? The party would have no candidates. What happens then?

House Democrat deeply skeptical of Biden tells me "the dam is holding" and predicts "very few members will openly speak in favor of Biden stepping aside."

"As someone who wanted the reckoning and is disappointed that it's over, trust me: it's over."

At the risk of posting something stupefyingly obvious: If you're among those canceling a New York Times or Washington Post subscription, I guarantee you have a great nonprofit media outlet or local paper in your area that could use some revenue. And that coverage is absolutely vital right now.

Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice. But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.
