Is it bad when the VP pick’s hometown paper (owned by high profile GOPers) publishes an anti-Vance op-ed within an hour of learning he is Trump’s running mate? Because that doesn’t seem good.
Vance will hurt Trump's reelection chances. Ohio junior senator isn't ready to be VP.www.dispatch.com Opinion: Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance probably will not help former President Donald Trump win – and might cost him votes.

This won't solve all the housing/rent problems but it's a good start!
Biden to unveil plan to cap rents as GOP convention beginswapo.st The policy plan comes as the president tries to assure Democrats about the viability of his candidacy.

Yesterday, I attended a party with about 15 millennials & 20 boomers. Politics came up. Not one person had heard of Project 2025. I gave them a crash course on it. By the time it was over, I was able to convince everyone that this election is a choice between democracy and a dictatorship.

Fair. And very true. I have to say, however, that I'm finding it easier to understand how people fall into the rabbit hole of conspiracies about the fourth estate.

So, how is a layman (albeit one partnered with a journalist) supposed to have confidence that this Biden replacement kerfuffle isn't being driven by the news media itself?

It's not going to get interesting. It's over. We are no longer the United States of America if we, for all intents and purposes, now have a king.

I lived through this (though I was a minor and technically in another country) and I still don't know how the hell this could've happened. Especially knowing what we know about Reagan and how people felt about him. How?

Well, what's the point of releasing or saving the work of countless people if you can make more money from deleting it? What, do you actually care about films, art, and human culture? It's all IP now, Mx. Wilson! Get with the times! 😉

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

Oh God! I know what you mean. No worries. If I were being mean, I'd appreciate being called out. Especially on here. I'd hate to see the bsky vibe ruined.
