Biden today: “They're trying to push me out of the race. Let me say this as clearly as I can: I'm staying in the race.”

Who would you want as Harris’ running mate? I’ll start: Andy Levin.

Severely asinine take here. 1) There was antisemitism at Harvard before there were Jews at Harvard (hence the no Jews at Harvard thing) and 2) Israel existed for thousands upon thousands of years before Europeans created the ethnostate that goes by that name.

Like, Biden should drop because he can’t beat Trump, not because he can’t have a successful presidency while sundowning.

I guess I kind of ALWAYS figure that the president isn’t REALLY running the show, just mostly signing off on what his closest advisors advise. Like, do I think Biden being incapable of cogent thought for half his waking hours makes him especially less capable than George W. Bush was? Idk…

It is gratifying to see the Tories headed toward epic obliteration, but it would be thrilling if the Labour Party weren’t so feckless and anemic. Pity :/

The reason I’m still skeptical Biden will step aside, even as consensus begins to emerge, is because for months he’s been like “Come November, Muslim voters in MI and Black voters in GA, who are desperately crying out against my relentless material support for genocide, will forget all about it.”

Recent years have certainly produced stupefying lurches toward dictatorship in our government, but I have to say: a system predicated on the dictatorship of the boss at work, the dictatorship of the landlord at home, and the dictatorship of the creditor in court contains the seeds from the outset.

The thing about the immunity decision is that, it's gonna be like that til I die. Even if we stop Trump this time. Even if he dies never approaching the presidency again. It's a giant hole blown in the side of the ship of state and it's just a matter of time until it starts flooding.

Long, horrific post from Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has been convicted eight and indicted dozens of times for assorted acts of hate violence including supporting terrorism, and who here is speaking about Palestinian prisoners, thousands of whom have not even stood trial.

Thank goodness there are Jewish groups who support Cori Bush bc we agree with her positions on Israel/Palestine. Be nice if a Jewish group or two endorsed her despite disagreeing with those positions, on account of her many other great qualities & courageous acts. She won an eviction freeze, ppl!

The term “corrupt” implies an initial pristine state, but with the Supreme Court, we’re talking about an initially sullied institution further degraded. “Corrupt” doesn’t quite cover it.

Sad to lose iHart. Can’t blame him, because that’s an immense bag, but really really sad to lose him. Idk if Sims can compete as backup 5 at the level we’re gonna need from him. Rest of the bench (Deuce, DDV, Hart) is incredibly solid, but I think we need a serious big.

I wish the Israeli government’s support for neo-Nazi European parties troubled liberal US Jews more than it seems to. I fear they may only come to acknowledge it once it’s too late.

Still experiencing whiplash from last week. Tuesday, elite liberals ousted Jamaal Bowman for, allegedly, his insufficient fealty to Biden. Thursday night, elite liberals determined Biden should give up being the President.

Another one of those members was now-Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who endorsed Bowman but also takes AIPAC money. I’d say it’s incumbent upon him to discipline Gottheimer, wouldn’t you?

Three years ago this week, the Team Blue PAC was launched by three senior House Democrats to protect incumbents from primary challenges. One of those members was Josh Gottheimer, who yesterday endorsed George Latimer’s primary challenge to incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman.

Just two years ago, Democrats set up a whole system of rewards and punishments to fend off primary challengers to their incumbents. Now, you have Rep. Gottheimer formally and Reps. Torres and Goldman informally endorsing Latimer, and facing, as far as I can tell, no discipline from leadership.
