Cross me off the list: I saw a Cybertruck in the wild last week and this one was remarkably wholesome! Lewes, DE hosts an annual "doo dah" parade before the official fireworks show where anyone in the community can participate.

Why doesn’t the candidate do a series of events focused on the most negative framing around his campaign instead of just waiting out a couple more attention cycle?
Rep. Angie Craig calling on Biden to withdraw and offering the same level of non-specificity on a new candidate ("open, fair, and transparent Democratic process") we see from columnists who have never worked in politics. Mind boggling.

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.
The connection between Trump crimes and anti-corruption broadly is right there. Hope it sticks like vulture capitalist stuff on Romney in '12.

This line about McCarthy is a great example of a politician letting someone hear what they want.
A committal "Absolutely. I'll work with you." vs. a non-committal "Absolutely I'll work with you."
