New in PN: Voters want Dems to stand up to Trump, not self-flagellate

"The base's frustration is not because leading Democrats have failed to oppose Joe Biden. It’s because they are perceived as failing to oppose Donald Trump."

Wired magazine falls for Bluesky's BS that it's decentralized. It could be, but it isn't.

This is tech journalism of the old style: credulous worship that isn't close to being justified by the reality.

Wired is better than this, or should be.

Alina Habba made it clear she would use her appointment as New Jersey's interim U.S. attorney to bludgeon Democrats.

She found an opening this month, charging Rep. LaMonica McIver with felony assault on law enforcement after a scuffle with law enforcement at a migrant detention center.
Alina Habba targeted Democrats when she became New Jersey’s top prosecutor. Now she’s following through.
