New Yorker wants Joe Biden, whose admin has had historical success, to resign bc he's not doing well at running for re-election. This is not, in fact, what the 25th Amendment was made for.

For those who were not alive in 2000 or didn’t care to pay attention, the Supreme Court literally created its own rules to pick a president so like of course we are here!!! This was truly the most predictable outcome

Again there were many things embarrassing about Thursday’s debate but nothing more than CNN not asking a single question about the Supreme Court or its legitimacy

i wouldn’t call my bluesky account my primary revenue driver but i’d estimate it’s generated between $12 and $14 million so far. there’s obviously growth potential but that’s about where you want it to be at the one-year mark, so i’m not at all worried about it

Because there was no political accountability for January 6/the attempted theft of our government, it’s important to recognize we are still living in constitutional peril at best, constitutional crisis at worst. The people who think Democrats can switch the nominee easy peasy are out of their minds.

Homelessness is a choice; everyone can always find themselves a friendly billionaire who will give them a house, trips on a superyacht, and vacations to a private resort. Just ask Clarence Thomas.

Of course there’s more Media coverage this morning about Biden! That’s what happens, logically so, when he sets the stakes as “it’s either me or the end of the American democratic order, choice is yours” and you fuck up the marquee confrontation (which you called for!) with said autocrat

Jen Psaki comparing this Biden debate performance to Obama’s first debate against Romney is some of the most out-of-touch shit I’ve heard from her and as press secretary she told watchers of The View worried about voting rights being dismantled to do a yoga class and have a marg to chillax.

I’m sorry but if any reporter spoke to any Democratic staffer on the Hill in the past three years, they’d know how epically bad the Biden team has been, how demoralized people are and how unsurprising this outcome is.

The Biden geniuses achieved one thing with this debate strategy, which is to generate a lot of dialogue on a contested convention and replacing Joe Biden on the ticket but you know they still think they’re geniuses.
