President Biden and other Democrats are increasingly focusing their attacks on an aggressive right-wing agenda called Project 2025 that is being pushed by allies of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump — prompting Trump and his team to lash out in recent days at supporters of the effort.

This isn't a plan to replace a presidential candidate, it's a plan to entertain journalists
Hey you guys wanna see the dumbest plan to replace Biden possible? www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

These should be a part of the Pentagon’s budget under the auspices of national security and only be manufactured in the US
I think most consumer goods should have a government funded BASELINE version that's either free or absurdly cheap. Bicycle? Have a shitty 2-speed. Smartphone? Right this way we cut so many corners and its slow but now you have access to the smartphone economy. Bank account? Yes we do that too.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.
This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Zion NP is a prime example of moving people more efficiently with buses rather than cars. Through Zion Canyon cars aren’t allowed save few exceptions, and everyone needs to take the shuttle. While lines can and do occur for buses, the road would be a constant traffic jam otherwise
the other thing is that people have no sense of how much space cars and so they imagine that a road full of cars must be a lot of people when it very often is not. a well-used bike lane transports like twice as many people during a given time as does a road

I have eaten this and can report that it isn’t that bad. You’re eating grocery store sushi ok? Let’s not get too high on our horse about the cultural experience.
Another moment in the grocery store when I’m not sure whether to be deeply ashamed or incredibly proud to be an American. Just look at that innovation.

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

if Biden announced that he was ordering the IRS to end all audits of people making less than $100,000 and ordering audits of all billionaires that would be something he could do

Okay, folks, who is putting together the list of the funniest crimes that Biden should be committing between now and election day to highlight the absurdity of today's immunity ruling? Not the stuff like assassinations. Just stuff to make a point.

#Beryl: Earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic Ocean. Previous record: Emily (July 17, 2005) The 160 mph winds also ties Emily as the strongest Atlantic storm prior to August. No need for hyperbole. Beryl has reset the early season Atlantic record book.

"Look, the Wall Street Journal lists all these companies that did poorly after they initiated diversity initiatives." Huh, looks like most of them were also acquired by private equity groups in leveraged buyouts, and then conducted stock buybacks. "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY READ THAT FAR!"

At some point — soon, even today perhaps — Democrats are going to have to pick up the weapons the court is putting on the table. Unilateral disarmament leads only to utter defeat.

kamala harris running for president is currently a non-starter. now, maybe it was my correctly picking wes clark, jon huntsman, rick perry, and pete buttigieg for president, but if she can just get nancy mace as her running mate, that's a guaranteed unity ticket. i haven't had a real job in 35 years
