There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

Surely reporters will be asking Trump and his campaign to identify the things on Project 2025 he disagrees with and what part are "absolutely ridiculous and abysmal" His own people wrote the fucking thing. So get the answers. Obsess over this for a change

Things Biden could do that would take attention away from the debate and his age: (1) Call for expanding the Supreme Court (2) Announce that he's ending or strictly conditioning military aid to Israel until the war in Gaza ends

Wages rose 3.3 percent in 2019, 3.9 over the past year. Job growth slowing. The Fed is supposed to get ahead of the curve. Time to cut.

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.

This kind of message makes my blood boil. For the last 8 years of my mom’s life, she needed to use a walker because of balance issues. She didn’t want to, because it made her “old”—and look old. Instead of staying mobile with the help of a walker, she became a couch potato and had multiple falls.

I'm a millennial but my phone has a spam blocker that doesn't even show me the calls that would be coming from a pollster. And NYT/Siena is all phone. You'd have a way better chance of reaching me via the Pew method of sending out physical mail asking you to participate online. I get mail!

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

If this pissed you off. If you believe voting is still/always important. If you think everyone should be able to exercise their right to vote w/o barriers. You can do something to help w/o even putting on pants. Support the @romancingthevote.bsky.social auction.
