I think when half your campaign and party leaders are leaking to the press that they're shitting bricks, and you're not putting it to bed with some urgency, there's a problem that's a lot bigger than a few folks on social media thinking the sky is falling

this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

“Politics would be interesting again,” is a hell of a thing to say generally and also, for these commentators, obviously untrue. Nothing about any replacement process will be as arousing to them as the prospect of forcing the renominated president out of the race with enough poison pen columns.

The problem, unfortunately, is a lot of Democratic donors and Members of Congress really take the NYT/Siena poll seriously. Cohn himself has warned them about making big political decisions based on his polls, but it doesn't matter. This might just further the panic.

We think officials who once worked for a company should recuse themselves when the government considers pursuing criminal charges against that company.
The DOJ's Lisa Monaco does not.

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

not only does Congress has the explicit right to declare war but also has the explicit right "to make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces." it's on that basis that it passed the UCMJ. but the UCMJ also directly interferes with the president's power as C-in-C.

They need to grasp that for it to get news hits, it needs to be *news*. He needs to telegraph in advance that he'll announce something new, then do it. That's why speeches that say "my opponent is bad" or "we've done some good stuff in the past" regularly fail to get much coverage

I'll circle back to this one more time, and then that'll be it. The panic among elite Democrats makes sense if they recognize that this is not a "one bad night" thing but a "he's going to have a lot more bad nights" thing. You can survive the former but not the latter.

Sure but mostly who gives a sh*t about their souls or deep down or whatever? If you're their biographer and feel like you need those deep inner psychological & emotional insights, okay. But for normal people it's okay to assume that bad actors act badly b/c they like the bad stuff & want to do it.

I don't know what to say. Biden was trending slightly upward before the debate and had even narrowly overtaken Trump in the 538 averages, but he has declined two points since. It's that movement, even if it's slight, that's freaking people out. Because it needed to go the other way.
