this case against biden's resignation makes sense. i do think that if biden decides to step away from reelection, he should explicitly say that he is doing this because House Republicans are too corrupt to confirm a replacement for Harris.

We KNOW, based on how he governed last time, how the Trump Immunity decision will be abused if he is re-elected.

It's a decision that will one day result in a body count.

The Supreme Court majority are extremist, partisan ideologues. They are not subtle about it.

I feel the same about "spiking the Ecto" Richie vs "I wear suits now" Richie, even though I loved "Forks." Plus Richie apologizing to Natalie, but not to Sydney.

The NYT editorial board presents itself as like a wise adjunct group of strategists advising Democrats how to run their shop, but (a) it’s run and largely staffed by de facto Republican operatives and (b) it has no similar paternalistic scrutiny for Republicans.

Your lead is misleading, which Republicans count on because you never point out how Republicans abuse their powers and authority for political ends. They want voters to blame "both sides" and they can count on you to weaponize it for them.

Particularly when you never make a distinction between one party acting in good faith, and the cult of performative liars who continue to abuse and weaponize their congressional powers, because they can count on NPR and the rest of MM to never, ever call out their BS.

When I started at UNC in 1990, the university was ranked in the top twenty of *all* colleges nationally. And if I’m remembering correctly the in-state tuition was just $500 a semester. It was just an incalculably valuable public good, which is why the NC GOP made it their mission to destroy it.

Dems talked up subsidies for rural broadband for years, actually passed it when they had a trifecta, then watched the voters who benefited from it vote overwhelmingly for Republicans in 2022, who then cancelled the program. Then voters blame Dems/Biden for losing their cheap internet.

An unappreciated aspect is that in 22-23 the media and companies (especially tech sector) were absolutely convinced a recession was around the corner. Companies did preemptive layoffs to "prepare" for the recession only to see employees easily get work elsewhere while the media tried to manifest it

When he concedes that Americans don't get enough time off, the calendar is hardly "barnacled" with holidays. And changing the dates or eliminating them won't make them more meaningful to anyone. Plus many do not get the day off for every federal holiday.

No political reporter would be caught dead talking about Republicans in the resentful, parental, let-me-explain-this-to-you-idiots tone that they routinely use in regard to Democrats. To them, Republicans are a fascinating cultural phenomenon; Democrats are "you people."

My skepticism continues for this framing of Jewish allyship (and true Jewishness) as allowing Israel's corrupt right-wing extremist government to kill as much as they want with impunity, and antisemitism (and bad Jewishness) with any criticism whatsoever of this government for any killing it does.
