I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

The fundamental, terrifying truth that we are facing and that motivates so much of our paranoia and dysfunction is that Trump might win. America might choose fascism. It's true, it's awful, and no matter who we run as candidate fascism still might win.

No one has to be happy with the fact that we only have two choices for President, but we do. No one has to like Biden’s Israel policy - I don’t - but it’s 100x better than Trump’s would be. No one has to think Biden is in his prime, but Trump never even had a prime. Better is better. Worse is worse.

The Biden administration cannot enforce new anti-discrimination rules in health care for transgender Americans, a Mississippi federal judge ruled, citing a recent landmark Supreme Court ruling that weakened the power of federal agencies.

Why would he resign just because he suspends his campaign? That seems like the least likely scenario out of all the scenarios. I know the logic behind it but I don’t think he really gives a shit about the implications.

From now until the election he should campaign via hatch act violation. Do Oval Office addresses outlining exactly how Trump is planning to be dictator. Highlighting project 2025 policies. He needs to scare the shit out of the public. Fear works. I’ve been terrified for days now. Harness that!

Thought experiment: Imagine if Obama, after claiming an election had been stolen from him and being convicted of 34 felonies, was granted immunity by SCOTUS justices who had taken undisclosed luxury trips on George Soros' dime. The fact that you can't even imagine this scenario tells you something.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

This often gets raised in the context of political retribution when the more obvious concern is civil society, protest groups, abortion providers, trans care providers, anyone "harboring" undocumented people. If you want to know how Trump will use DoJ just look to Ken Paxton in TX.

Under today’s immunity decision, Biden could order AG Garland to immediately prosecute Thomas and Alito for corruption and insurrection. (Official act). If Garland refuses, Biden can fire him and replace him with someone who will. (Official act) I would suggest Elie Mystal.
