Breaking news: President Biden and his senior team said they accepted the grim ultimatum they’ve been hearing from almost all quarters of the Democratic Party — to demonstrate his fitness for office or face a significant effort to force him to step aside.
Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

Three days after it was revealed that this guy's license was wrongly listed as suspended due to a clerical error, none of the publications listed here (NYT, WP, NYP, USA Today, BBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC) have issued corrections or updates. reason.com/2024/06/03/t...
The viral story about a defendant driving with a suspended license was fake newsreason.com Corey Harris' case should never have been a national news story to begin with.

Jon Stewart on why Americans shouldn't believe in political messiahs: "If your guy loses, bad things might happen, but the country is not over. And if your guy wins, the country is in no way saved." reason.com/2024/02/13/j...
Jon Stewart's return to ‘The Daily Show’ was actually pretty greatreason.com When he's on his game, he's still one of the best bullshit detectors in the media.

Biden should avoid reminding voters of how rough the past few years have been, focus on the future, and talk about the positive signals coming from the economy. Above all else, don't make yourself look like an old man yelling at a cloud. In short, don't do this: reason.com/2024/02/12/b...

The media blamed Facebook for Trump's win in 2016, so Facebook said "okay, we'll stop promoting news." That didn't end Trump, but it has wrecked what little profitability existed in online news. And now "news creators" are mad Zuck did what they asked. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Meta turns its back on politics again, angering some news creatorswww.washingtonpost.com Meta announced on Friday it would stop proactively recommending political content on Instagram and its upstart text-based app Threads.

I say we put No One up against Donald Trump and see how it goes. It can't be worse than the other primary challengers fared.

Politics in 2024. The GOP has worked themselves into a frenzy over a pop megastar who they're sure is out to get them, something they've made up in their own paranoid minds.
