one of the most dishonest things people in my profession do is pretend as if “the story” and “the narrative” isn’t something they have direct control over

Surprising. The "reformist" candidate for prez of Iran has won. The Supreme Leader and other unelected clergy, plus military commanders, retain most of the power. apnews.com/article/iran...

Masoud Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon who rose to power in parliament, now Iran's president-electapnews.com The stances of Iran's President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian reflect the dualities of being a reformist politician within Iran’s Shiite theocracy.

The newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents have Donald Trump's name all over them. He had been secretly disguised as 'Doe 174.'www.businessinsider.com Former President Donald Trump may have fought to keep his name redacted in court documents before a judge ordered it unsealed.

In America, only young, left-wing voters throw their votes away on this scale. Amazing to see the old and experienced do it in other countries with First Past the Post voting Caveat: seat-by-seat matters for tactical voting in Britain

Labour gets 34% of vote, 2024 - Landslide victory, many seats Labour gets 32% of vote, 2019 - Landslide defeat, few seats Biggest difference: in 2024, right-wing vote split 2024: Con 24% + Reform 14% = 38% 2019: Con 44% + Brexit party 2% = 46% & more quiet alliance/tactical voting by Labour & LD?

My favorite line about war applies here: "The aggressor is always peace-loving... he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." No man, if you're trying a revolution against the Constitution of the United States, pro-Constitution Americans aren't going to simply get out of your way. Hard no.

There is however substantial reason to think that Biden has a base enthusiasm problem this might help with now.

Four years ago, before the Court pissed people off by overturning Roe and being flamboyantly corrupt all the time, a @takebackthect.bsky.social study found absolutely no electoral peril to Democrats advocating Court expansion. www.huffpost.com/entry/expand... There's 0 reason to think that changed.

Embracing Supreme Court Expansion Carries No Political Cost, Study Sayswww.huffpost.com “There is no reason for leaders to shy away from saying what needs to be said,” the leader of a group promoting expansion of the high court said.

Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: "He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. ...

Besides the individuals you mention, Jimmy Carter has also run national campaigns for president. Unlike them, he won once. Since Biden is too old, Jimmy Carter must step forward and save the nation.

I'm starting to understand *why* some people are panicking, and want to try, something, anything to mix things up, even though they don't agree on what to do or who the new candidate should be. The assumption is that Trump is on track for almost certain victory. Which is not a fact-based assumption

If you believe poll crosstabs at all: black voters, young voters, Latino voters but especially young Latinas are the most disaffected. Some even say they're switching to Trump. If you believe poll crosstabs at all, that's the key swing voting blocs that Dems have to win back & turn out.

this newspaper headline is the 1930 version of encountering an incomprehensible trending story about some Twitch streamer with 4 million followers

If only the Democratic Party might possibly care about the nation's interests - as the NYT argues - that should be reflected in favorable NYT coverage. The NYT crusades against things it opposes: trans rights, HRC's email server. But never against Trump.

Mr. Trump’s own performance ought to be regarded as disqualifying. He lied brazenly and repeatedly about his own actions, his record as president and his opponent. He described plans that would harm the American economy, […]

What no one has mentioned is Ohio GOP tried to block Biden from even being on the ballot & it took the governor intervention to make sure he would be on (despite following all the rules) You just going to replace him & expect no GOP shenanigans Whomever replaces him might not even be on all ballots

A fundamentally undemocratic court that has been controlled by Republican nominees for 55 consecutive years just seized control of the whole damn government. Yet another reason Democrats should center the Supreme Court in their campaigns. (More on this soon!)

Here’s the Loper Bright decision expressly overruling Chevron and radically reordering American government, probably for the worse. Chief Justice Roberts wrote it, and the vote went on party lines. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...
