Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

I was holding on to my NYT subscription just because of Jamelle Bouie, but man it was hard to justify beyond that. But finally, the post-debate coverage and today's mendacious "you shouldn't vote (even though I did)" debacle were too much. Cancelled just now.

1/ I'm agnostic as to whether Biden should withdraw from the race. It's a genuinely tough question IMO. But I have clarity on one thing: He should absolutely not step down as president. If Harris becomes President, the Vice Presidency is empty. Under the 25th Amendment ...

The candidate is always responsible for the final decisions, but Biden should fire every single person involved in prepping him. That shitshow was what happens when you prep thinking people care how many Pell grants you gave out or how close you came to the Paris climate targets.

The fact that it’s elected officials who think panic texting reporters is their best way to influence other people in the party also points to some deeply problematic structural issues they also don’t seem interested in addressing.

The requirement forces Oklahoma teachers to "reference" the role of the Ten Commandments in America's founding, so as a historian & teacher, let me offer this suggestion: "Although some idiots today insist that the Founding Fathers were inspired by the Ten Commandments, they absolutely were not."

I am a cochair of a Democratic Ward committee in Boston. The number of college students that join caucuses, come to neighborhood events, etc. even when I directly ask *student government* groups to get involved is standing at 0 over 10+ years of trying.

We have to boil our tap water before we use it for several days at a time, several times a year, minimally. If this is news to you, it’s time to start paying closer attention to how conservative politics are entrenched and spreading. We are not “red” - we are voter suppressed.

Let me be very clear and direct here:

FUCK every single ghoul who has spread #vaccine misinformation over the past few years. Watch a child suffering from pertussis just once and it will change you.

This is fucking preventable and these babies have no choice. They rely on us.

You can really feel David Zaslav’s thumb on the scale as CNN insists the trial of Hunter Biden, who has never sought or held office, for allegedly lying in the purchase of a gun he possessed for 11 days in 2018, when his father was not in office, is the week’s most important story.

David Weiss immunized the gun shop owner who altered the Hunter Biden gun purchase document so he could charge Joe Biden's son for owning a gun for 11 days in 2018. And of the 50 or so journos covering the case, I've seen only CNN even report that the form did get altered.

If an anti-Trump conservative like Jeff Flake, Rob Portman or Joe Walsh jumped into the race and campaigned as a "law and order conservative" or some such they'd easily get ~10% of GOP voters and sink Trump.
