AP story waits until paragraph 16 to mention police & prosecutors are accused of conspiring to protect the cop who's apparently the real killer, until then making him seem like a lone wolf

$300M to rebuild one highway bridge & not one contractor wants to do it Our elected officials think transit is for Others so the slightest problem is a reason to blow it all up But they drive everywhere so we can never spend less on highways no matter how insanely broken & expensive the system is

Anyway, I was right that the media (led by the NYT) is going with "but his debate performance" to tank Biden's chances. They've been looking for a "but her emails" attack on him for months and nothing else has stuck This furor reminds me of their freakout when he withdrew troops from Afghanistan

Listen, having a president offering a trillion-dollar Ponzi scheme based on the destruction of the planet is nowhere as dire as having a president whose sentences drift off.

Wasp was looking to build a nest in a hole in my home office window frame. Thought about Raid, but @julisneider.bsky.social nudged me to skip the chemical warfare. Plugged the hole with chewing gum instead. Turns out this is a mud dauber - scary looking but only stings when attacked. 🐝✌️

The Trump Republican tax cuts for the rich were even more hated than previous tax INCREASES!
Dems should run against Trump's despotic corruption, but they should also run against the Republican Party's wildly unpopular policies.

Also if you are 48 years old you have lived *your entire life to date* under the authority of a Supreme Court majority appointed by Republican presidents. It's a clear violation of the principle that governments derive legitimacy from the consent of the governed. Happy July 4th Week!

Here's a radical concept for reporters: Get those answers - from him and/or other Republicans
Use your access for that

Everything's complicated and my hesitation about replacing Biden up to now has been informed by polls showing other candidates not doing much better. But a lot of people seem remarkably certain that Harris specifically could not win a general election for reasons I think they should say out loud.
