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.

Just last week, Biden signed H.R. 2365, the “Dr. Emmanuel Bilirakis and Honorable Jennifer Wexton National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act,” which would be a part of stories like this if the journalists writing the stories were ethical. That they conceal this context speaks to their abject malice.

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

This is journalistic malpractice. The Biden admin was working on Parkinson's policy.

Le Pen's party (RN) got 143 seats. While a record, that's far (very far) from the 289 they hoped for to govern. How?! Hundreds of Left & Macronist candidates dropped out to help each other block the RN. And millions of voters then voted strategically to get that job done.

Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

JUST IN: Labour heading toward a landslide victory in the UK. This is their return to power, for the first time since 2010. National exit poll, released moments ago, shows them above 400 seats. The ruling conservatives projected at 131, which would be their lowest since WWII.

I would have held off on publishing this, but one of these is a nationwide injunction blocking the gender identity protections under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, and the judge issued it yesterday — one business day before some of the rule goes into effect on Friday.

One guy lost his train of thought, pretty embarrassingly, in a debate one night. The other talks about sharks and Hannibal Lechter and thinks some airplanes are invisible, and hoards paperwork, some classified, in the bathroom in his own personal Versailles.

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).

Read my latest, which has prompted three men to angrily email me:

The case for candidate Kamala Harriswww.thehandbasket.co She has name recognition, experience, and perhaps most importantly, money.

If Joe Biden steps down -- and to be clear, I don't want him to do so -- the new Dem candidate for president should be Kamala Harris. I'll give her all my money if she runs on democracy and abortion rights and tells the Supreme Court to go fuck itself.
