Bookies shifted Biden's chance of winning the presidency from 5/1 this morning to 7/1 this afternoon. Updated his chances for the nomination from 1/2 to 8/11 in that period. He's likely the nominee, the presidency remains a long shot.

Sullivan & Cromwell's dodgy looking work with crypto exchange FTX led to an investigation and many inquiries into how it handled their bankruptcy proceedings and how it possibly tried to pump customers before FTX collapsed. No wonder it's going into the culture war industry, It's what shysters do.

I enjoy that people are bigging up Project 2025 now. It's been available for a while, and so technically "not news" but it's being covered again when it's really more relevant because it's being raised as an issue by the campaign. That's how you leverage the news cycle. It's not rocket science.

Not here for debate, so you can have the last word if you feel like it. Attempted point scoring or browbeating is not going to be a path to winning anything. It will just convince those folks to stay home. There are no MAGAs to convert, only lost voters to recover. The campaign will adapt or die.

It was only a matter of time.
