A big part of the problem for the Christian right leaders is that they've spent so much time praising Trump as the best president ever that it's very hard for them to get the base to switch gears. They'd really have to show that he's engaging in a serious reversal/bait and switch on abortion. 11/x

"Note that no one is demanding Trump step down due to his making a mockery of the 'debate' with his lying or because of the disgrace he brings to America’s global reputation by being a convicted felon & having staged an insurrection. Instead, it’s Biden who is supposed to step down." Ruth Ben-Ghiat

I don't feel desperate, I feel betrayed. Pretty sure fellow vets feel the same, especially those of us with "fight for democracy" as the reason we were sent to war to begin with. Knowing my friends and fellow troops died for this anti-American BS pisses me off.

One thing to know about today's SCOTUS ruling is just how closely it tracks the radical dreams of the new/far right. For decades, they've argued the now-familiar laments about the "deep" state. Argued that the "managerial" or "administrative" state subverts the "will of the (true) people". 🧵

Ditto - Biden doesn't have dementia, if he did he couldn't function like he does. He's slower yes, and people his age get tired more so than when they were young. Biden at half the capacity he has now would still be 1000x better than a Trump administration.

Playing high school football for a coach who believed in “toughness” more than hydration, I collapsed on a 95 degree day of Doubles and was in the hospital for 3 days. I remember almost none of it. A plastic helmet and shoulder pads are, in this heat, like being in a portable oven.

Just as the Devil can quote Scripture, any modern political argument can find a foothold in "the Founders" because they were a diverse group whose members often took contradictory stances. Odds are good one of them provides support for your contemporary position ... and several more refute it.

Recent reporting suggests Biden world understands that his abysmal approval is rooted in a rotten info environment more than material reality. That’s the good news. The bad news is they’ve developed a defeatist mentality, instead of trying more things.

The media would, but that's not why Biden won't pardon his son. He won't pardon him because it's the right thing to do. Biden believes in the law. Even if his son was railroaded for something a million people have done. With the GOP cruelty is the point.

Finally read this. The context for the slur makes it entirely believable. But the rest is just as awful. NBC knowingly resurrected a washed up, racist, misogynist, parasitic con man, and presented him to the country as a brilliant, cutting-edge businessman. It felt dirty just reading it.

The claim that political gerrymandering is non-justiciable is risible and the most overtly political thing the Supreme Court has done, in an era of hilariously partisan rulings. There is simply no "good faith" to be found in an enterprise so focused on partisan advantage and subjugation.

Trump pledges to make America "great" again by making it early 20th century Germany, and that he is the Hitler-esque figure who will make the racist phoenix rise from the ashes of a supposed humiliation of America by the "globalists." It's not subtle or inscrutable.

Backstory about Bidenworld resenting how NYT didn't take him seriously in 2019 is very interesting. That sentiment (our guy is being screwed over) was shared by the Sanders campaign, which was so frustrated with how it was covered vs how Warren was covered that it pushed NYT to reassign reporters.
