So here we have a GOP gubernatorial nominee calling for followers to kill people who he claims are enemies of Christian America. How many chin-stroking pieces are we going to see about how the GOP is in real trouble now that one of its candidate is really ol--I mean violent?

Can someone check if the guy who writes for the Federalist, Washington Free Beacon, and National Review printed stories telling those readers not to vote?

Steve Bannon is in prison for contempt and Rudy Giuliani just lost his N.Y. law license, but John Roberts insists that invisible ink in the Constitution prevents Donald Trump, the ringleader, from facing charges for virtually anything that Trump can claim was an official act.

Watching The Bear S3 and....way too much directing, not nearly enough writing. This was a good show until it started to believe it was a great one. Now it just feels pokey and self-important, sort of as if a great sandwich shop decided to turn into tedious fine dining.

So disappointing. Even depressing given the week we're having. I did love "Ice Chips," almost as good as "Fishes." Carmy's face isn't what they think it is (it was minor on those awful Calvin Klein ads.) The addle-pated flashbacks, please. I was so excited...until I wasn't.

"Gretchen Whitmer, Raphael Warnock, Josh Shapiro, and Wes Moore are just a few of the office-holders who could energize Democrats and independents, inspire younger voters, and beat Trump." David Remnick, who I've admired, left out the @VP. He can have a seat with Nader.

We probably ought to have a conversation about a partisan court declaring Trump above the rule of law that is at least as intense as the one we've had about Joe Biden being very old.

The reason pundits like the contested convention thing is that it plays to their vanities: what if the smart people made a meritocratic decision about who’s best? This is driven, in part, by being mostly isolated from negative reactions to their opinions over the years.

To those wishing for some white (literally) knight to come riding in to save the Democratic White House, if Kamala Harris is passed over, then the people who are necessary to win this election--Black voters & immigrants among them--will stay home. So not so quick. Read @jbouie.bsky.social

Not sure I can watch this debate. It's a really great man, with his flaws, having to have lies and filth spewed upon him by a really evil man. It's like watching a kind of torture.

if, for example, your theory is that this turn is a natural reaction to the monopolization of the economy, then why did this only take place among white and not black residents of rural counties?

One way you could view JD’s trajectory is that when he thought kissing up to the neoliberal establishment would bring him power, status and wealth he did that and then when he realized he could get even more power kissing up to Trump he started doing that.
