Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders. AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

UNCAP THE HOUSE

For real though it sucks that Britain, a damp rock the size of one of my city's medium sized parks, has a legislature with more representatives than the United States. We deserve better.

"Biden never gives us in the White House press corps conferences where we can question him!!!" Homie I'll be real the first time he did one of those for you, it was June 2021 and you asked zero questions about covid and about 9000 about the 2024 election

For the “fuck Biden he’s not protecting LGBTQ people” please note: Biden & the Democrats are trying to help protect LGBTQ people. GOP judges are blocking them. If you decide that being angry at Biden & the Dems & not voting for them is a rational response to this, you’re helping to hurt LGBTQ folks

NEW: A trio of federal court rulings this week have blocked Biden administration efforts to protect LGBTQ people in getting healthcare and going to school without discrimination. www.lawdork.com/p/trans-heal...

Trans healthcare anti-discrimination rule blocked nationwide as other LGBTQ rule challenges proceedwww.lawdork.com Some aspects of the rule enforcing Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act go into effect on Friday. Also: Another Title IX rule injunction.

I more or less agree with this. Biden can stop the press from sinking him, but his best bet to resolve this freakout as quickly & unpainfully as possible means giving them at least some of what they want.

This thread from Matthew Chapman at the Bad Place is a good analysis of why the DC press corps are turning on Biden. x.com/fawfulfan/st...

Rich donors threatening me with a world where the president owes them nothing

Like, if rich folks insist on sitting out the election because Biden doesn't give them that hawk tuah, good fuckin riddance

I assume Shadi Hamid wrote this travesty one-handed

Yeah, they’re basically all but screaming it with this, that a process that doesn’t make Harris compete against a whole slate of other candidates would be considered presumptively anti-democratic.

20 minutes of Slack/group chat comments & furious texting, followed by an hour spent writing their articles calling the debate a disaster, then days of writing more articles about each others' articles & the people who read their articles & Biden's response to it all

I watched a debate that had a bad performance by the better candidate for 21 min followed by an hour of the other guy being deranged. Trump has been quiet all week. What does that tell you about the effects of the debate?

I keep being polarized into doubling down on Biden through the low character of his enemies

It is actually not great when wealthy elites try to have this much influence on the nominee, whether or not you think Biden is fit to serve.

It would look like this, more or less

watching british election returns the question struck me: what would democrats do with a landslide? what’s the wish list? beyond saving democracy of course.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

The British mind indulges pet imperialisms we can hardly conceive

British voters, lol

Your honor, with all due respect, I seen footage, I stay noided

Your honor, with all due respect, they’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold, but the wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old.

POLITICO's top headline explicitly points out that congressional Dems are more inclined to oppose Biden than governors because they're afraid Biden will drag them down with him. I suspect that's where the weak poll numbers is hurting him most

Happy Fourth.

It's like a roll call of people who have no actual insight.

Another asinine 'solution' to the Biden Problem, this time from Yascha Mounk. Again, these people think their *entire job* is political strategy and predicting poll numbers. Yet they somehow think that spending months drawing attention to their own party's weaknesses is a good strategy!

Really worthwhile to listen to this (this is the link for hour 2) if you want to check on Biden's abilities. He gives informed, detailed answers. He misspeaks sometimes. He's a little mumbly. *If he can keep that up,* there's every reason to believe he's still fit to campaign & serve.
