Maybe SCOTUS will make up a Senatorial immunity for him.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms that a Columbus, Ohio, police officer detailed to the RNC shot and killed a homeless Black man (earlier reported to be in his early 20s) more than half a mile from the RNC arena. The man was known by the nickname Jehovah and took care of a pit bull named Isis.

My latest for @thenation.com looks at the death of an incarcerated woman at the Central CA Women's Facility during a week of ~110 degree temperatures & the lack of heat mitigation efforts throughout the nation's 2nd largest prison: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The Scorching Temperatures Are Turning Prison Cells Into Furnaceswww.thenation.com As the death toll due to extreme heat rises, incarcerated people are concerned that their cells could become their coffins.

my guess is this discourse did in fact harm Biden, as did the debate itself, but it’s unclear how much and almost impossible to separate the two

You can’t make this up

About 80 years ago oligarchs hired the Mafia to bust up a Teamsters strike. Jimmy Hoffa offered the Mafia access to the pension fund to launder money. Ever since, the Teamsters have been sus. Jimmy Hoffa Jr. got an election for the union's president reversed when he lost.

*TRUMP PICKS OHIO SENATOR JD VANCE AS HIS RUNNING MATE

Well, time to tweet out some Bible quotes.

NEW: Marco Rubio has been informed that he is NOT Trump’s VP pick, two sources tell Politico

If she waited, Trump couldn't say he was COMPLETELY EXONERATED at the upcoming convention. I'm not surprised that Trump appointees have been blocking and tackling for Trump, I am surprised they're doing so in a way which signals *this is fine actually.*

The only thing that surprises me about what Judge Cannon did is that she did it this soon, on grounds this likely to be overturned.

WSJ this morning. lol at the last bit. "Leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won't end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions."

It’s almost like the pundit class wants the wrong things out of this campaign season

Placing the former executive above the law will not end well.

The dismissal of the obviously robust classified-documents case is a good demonstration of how the right wants government to work. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | A preview of government of, by and for a subset of ‘the people’www.washingtonpost.com That Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s dismissal of the classified documents case wasn’t surprising tells us a lot about how government might evolve over the next four years.

This is another way of saying we're probably never going to have the votes to repeal the laws we want repealed, SCOTUS is taking too long, and we don't like that Presidents are bound by the law, so we're just going to pretend that Trump isn't bound by the law.

you’re on notice deep sate

This is where I am too (very much including the 55% confidence level)—though my main take is that both "Biden stay" and "Biden go" are reasonable positions, and I appreciate it when people recognize this

i’m in the “Biden step aside” camp but i’m rocking like 55% confidence here

Making a difference in the world will necessarily make certain people pissed off or uncomfortable and unfortunately a lot of people have taken that to mean “pissing people off or making them uncomfortable is ipso facto making a difference”

when they asked goering why he joined the nazis he said he didn’t care about any ideological nonsense, he joined the party because it was revolutionary. which may seem odd but he didn’t care about beliefs. he just wanted to break the world. anyway it would be cool if people on here read a book.

Lots of people who say they hate fascists on this website fighting everyone but the actual fascists because they think they live in a nicer apartment than them

This is insane.

I learned at an engineering conference recently that one crypto mine in TX, 100s of MW, makes more money off ERCOT demand response markets than it does off crypto repeat: TX ratepayers pay them more to sometimes stop mining than they make by actual mining just bananas misuse of power markets 🔌💡

Biden has governed more to his left than he campaigned, but I really don't get the idea that people are pushing Harris because they're *centrists* and she's a centrist. That's not why they're pushing her.

Many of those same people today seem to be arguing that somehow I’m trying to ratfuck Biden despite how his replacement would’ve been someone far more to his left. In other words: brain worms
