The NYT Parkinson's "scoop" is even worse than it seems from the headline, bc buried in paragraph 11 the reporters *know* Dr. Connard met with someone other than Biden, and on March 28, 2024 the President's Public Schedule shows Biden was in NYC the whole day

It’s kinda funny that their whole complaint is that he doesn’t have the fight in him, and he pantsed them? I mean I’m as concerned about his age and capacity as anyone but these whingey little kings of the anonymous quote are just weak.

When Trump says things like this, if and when it's covered at all, it's treated as a minor source of humor or a zinger rather than as a damning indictment of his unpreparedness or ageing cognition. It doesn't lead to weeks of serious media coverage & revolt by anonymous party members.

Notice that this isn't labeled "opinion" but "News Analysis". Sort of gives the impression that this is the official editorial board line.

Checking in on network news sites, CNN and NBC are all in on getting Biden to drop out, ABC leads with Hurricane Beryl, CBS leads with UK elections. CBS (pleasant surprise) has a relatively positive headline about Biden shoring up support with Dem governors.

Per this piece, SCOTUS slapped down all of Trump's challenges to the 2020 election results. Can we trust they'll do so in 2024? I think Biden needs to lay down a marker that he will not comply with a SCOTUS ruling that overturns the clear will of the people

That is the paradox and the depravity of the SCOTUS ruling -- a former President has immunity from prosecution under normal due process, but a successor could extra-judicially jail, torture and execute him as long as he claimed it was part of official duties

It's long past time we resurrect the term "Un-American Activities" and apply it to the conservative movement. The mainstream of the GOP is openly committed to the overthrow of the constitutional republic.

“The Court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be the most direct threat to American democracy, and any Democrat who is not ready to shelve old fears about ‘court packing’ and get serious about expanding and reforming the Court isn’t made for this moment.” Correct.

Someone ranked it alongside with Dred Scott and Korematsu, but you're right it's infinitely worse than those. It not only up-ends the republic but even the very concept of the law.

I have been reading Rashid Khalidi's "100 Year War on Palestine", which provides the context that ALL of Biden's predecessors since at least Nixon have followed the same course. Withholding 2000 lb bombs is not enough, but afaik it's more than any other POTUS has done.

I've read that early voting in the MD primaries was slow. Our local polling place was quieter than I've ever seen it on an election day. Not only were voters sparse, but there were only 2 people passing out handbills, and some major candidates (Trone, Ficker) didn't have signs posted.
