This chapter of The Power Broker is describing a neighborhood in the Bronx full of working class leftist Jews who are embracing integration as Black and Latino residents are moving in! I'm sure nothing bad will happen to them! Let me pull up Google Maps and see where the Cross Bronx Expressway is!

YES. Shit or get off the pot. I’m not personally invested in Biden but I am invested in us like, trying to not hand the keys to the kingdom over while under threat of Project 2025.

Stacey Abrams in AJC: "Ignore the Joe Biden doom loop" Swing voters "are not choosing based on age or infirmity but an alchemy we can’t control or predict. We have to make the case to these voters on the issues that matter to them."

So I want to talk about this from the perspective of someone who does professional fact checking as part of my work. For some years now I have been paid to check TV and written content themed around animals to make sure it is factually accurate. Chat GPT & AI has made that job so much harder.

For me the point is that it’s always been a legitimate story to discuss Biden’s age and is certainly extremely relevant now to cover the gross incompetence of Democrats but nothing is properly contextualized or balanced and the NYT refuses to take accountability for ~creating~ news and sentiment.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

My Solomonic view is that NYT—perhaps the president’s primary persecutor recently—showed its whole ass with this swiss-cheese Parkinson’s specialist story. It’s blatantly copied from right-wing charlatans, unvetted. And a nimbler White House and campaign would be making it pay dearly for that.

I'll say more about this in my newsletter today but the "tempers flare" narrative on supposed acrimony between Trump and anti-abortion GOPers is not a secret fight that the press has exposed. It's a performance meant to reassure anti-abortion voters that Trump will do what they want.

Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.
