game 7 of the world series, final inning. I'm at bat with two outs. my team is down by one, with one on base. the pitcher slips on a banana peel and sends the ball sailing slowly and gracefully directly over home plate. "I won't swing," I think, "that wouldn't be fair"

I’m hopeful that they mean this narrowly, in that the Biden campaign itself won’t run ads on it but PACs will. That could actually make sense.

Precisely what we were worried about prior to the verdict. Biden wants to be above it all and run his campaign against someone normal, instead of his real, dangerous, criminal opponent

I see stories like this and just pray they are counting on PACs to go to town on that message. If I had a billion $$ I’d constantly be buying ads filled with the Law & Order “dom-dom” sound. I’m not above being super petty.

This is the most important election of our lifetimes, but we also aren't going to try too hard. Can you please setup a monthly donation to support this fight?

Democrats get themselves into Airbud situations. Team shows up with a dog on their roster and they cry how it's against the rules, it defies the norms! When really they should just avoid stepping in the dog shit on their way to throw down tomahawk dunk after dunk and run up the score

polling probably shows it moves no votes and risks backfire. They're right to ignore the passions of the liberal commentariat and focus just on issues that touch voters' lives. But they'd be lots better off if they'd delivered on paid family leave, child tax credit & expanded Medicare instead of BIF
