While all the eyes of the Beltway Press are trained on Biden, they’re missing the fascists marching in Nashville. Do not let them distract you.

Any Democrat in these states who doesn’t lean on this hard shouldn’t be in office. It’s a gift.

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.”
But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him.

I blocked Brian Stelter. He’s all in on the feeding frenzy. Leading it, even.

I don’t think anyone realizes that it’s not as simple as shoving Biden out and getting a new face. If you’re worried about Biden, Kamala is right there behind him. Maybe our press should step out of the feeding frenzy and write a few articles about THAT.

I think that Biden needs to get weirder. I want him to take a way too close photo of him smiling and reply to Rand Paul with "I think it's time we did something about you :)"

The NYT editorial board presents itself as like a wise adjunct group of strategists advising Democrats how to run their shop, but (a) it’s run and largely staffed by de facto Republican operatives and (b) it has no similar paternalistic scrutiny for Republicans.

Reminder: every lawyer you know personally—your cousin, your neighbor, whatever—has more experience practicing law than Kavanaugh. His career was (a) lackey for Ken Starr (b) second/third chair on briefs for clients of a big firm. Zero trials. Handful of oral arguments.

Every time I hear the phrase "abortion tourism," I'm stunned anew at how much Republicans deeply, deeply hate women. They want you to believe it's a fun vacay, having to get a medical procedure on the road without your home or support system. They hate women. So much.

It's been said a bunch of times but I want to say it, too: what's been so bracing about these Lauren Windsor/Rolling Stone stories is not that they reveal Alitos as grand villains but as absolute off-the-rack nightmare suburban shitheads. 0 wins above replacement between the two of them.

I listened to all of Martha Ann Alito's recording that Lauren Windsor made. I learned something: She's not as good at disguising her obvious hatred and fascism as Ginni Thomas is. And that's saying something. She dreams fascist dreams, invents fascist flags. crooksandliars.com/2024/06/secr...

It shouldn’t require this much advocacy to get Democratic committee chairs to hold Republican justices accountable. Sometimes it takes the threat of a primary challenge.
