"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Imagine having to work in that place—the restraint needed not to slap someone.

And when one of them went too far even for the other SEALs to tolerate, Trump praised and pardoned him!

Between that and the absence of weird capitalization, I’m going to say someone else wrote that post for him.

DC Cir. holds that two scientists that weren't picked for EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee don't have standing to sue over their being passed over.

Held: you dumb motherfuckers.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

Yes, and I fault the reporting, not the candidate. NOTHING being reported actually says that there's an issue with Biden. What's being reported is inference and innuendo, and it's being passed off as conclusive fact. We should be calling it out for the garbage it is, not giving it more oxygen!

How far will the fossil fuel industry go to protect itself from climate impacts it helped cause? A $21 billion liquefied natural gas plant in Louisiana will be surrounded by a 26-foot-high steel sea wall to stave off rising seas.

It's fairly insane that MOST political journalists exhibit no understanding that being President and running for President are not the same thing, and often a President who is effective at making policy may not titillate their beltway gossip machine, which reflects on THEIR competence, not his.

NYT ran a story quoting "die hard" Democratic voters who want Biden to drop out, and I'm just wondering how long until we find out one of them was an elected Republican official

I think Biden’s advisers are telling him not to get too personal in attacking Trump. That’s my impression anyway. If that’s correct, I think he’s making a serious mistake. He needs to make this election so personal that every single goddamned voter understands the stakes.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.
