Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.
If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.
This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

"JPMorgan on Monday said building AI infrastructure will cost more than $5tn"
Crazy idea: Why not, rather than spending $5 TRILLION dollars to pay for data centers to create fake brains, just pay actual human beings with real brains that same $5 trillion?

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I condemn violence and murder in all its forms, including the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
Also, Charlie Kirk was a racist, transphobic, homophobic, anti-democratic ‘activist’ who helped make this country a worse, less just place for millions of people.
These statements are not contradictory.

The problem with "Trump said" framing in a nutshell. Lede reports what Trump said. Second paragraph opens with Trump's bogus claims about fraud in the 2020 election. Second sentence weakly notes Trump's AG Bill Barr said Trump's completely fabricated claims "couldn't be proven."

The most disheartening thing about America’s descent into fascism has been the abject cowardice of virtually all the people and institutions that could have stood up and refused to comply.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Maybe we really *should* defund NPR?
On the radio, and on this video, we talk with Dave Portnoy about his tilt to the right, and what if anything Democrats could do to win the votes of men like him.

Until there's a judge with the guts throw someone in jail for contempt, they'll just keep ignoring the rulings.
-Trump bans the AP from the White House press pool
-Judge orders AP be allowed back into the pool
-Trump admin continues to block AP from the pool, and then censors the pool report noting the AP was turned away.
