WaPo: 2024 Republican platform confirms reports that the wallet inspector will return with our wallets soon

The 2024 Republican convention platform that aides to Donald Trump have drafted stops short of explicitly calling for a constitutional amendment to give embryos or fetuses constitutional rights and does not call for any national bans on abortion, confirming the concerns of antiabortion activists.

Trump proposes scaled-back platform that softens language on abortion, same-sex marriagewww.washingtonpost.com The draft was circulated Monday among members of the 2024 Republican convention platform committee. It will be discussed and voted on later this week.

Listened to Biden on Morning Joe this morning. There are way worse angles to run than “The elites want me out, I’m staying in for the little guy.”

Again, I work in an EXPENSIVE corner of the travel market. If people aren’t spending, it’s news to me

More people than ever can afford to take a vacation, but airlines aren't pocketing record profits because they have to pay their workers more. Here's why that's bad news for joe biden

Air travel demand is breaking records. Airline profits are not.www.nbcnews.com Higher labor and other costs have eaten into airlines’ bottom lines.

holy shit, the president got listen a series of media big wigs calling for him to step down and he literally when David Axelrod got listed he went "Ohhhh your kidding?"

Folks who do not want to see Donald Trump reelected, there are two (broad) things to talk about: policy accomplishments in the last 3.5 years, and Project 2025. Hammer it hammer it hammer it.

Journalists using the passive voice on democracy murder in the same way they used to use it on cops who murder

The Todd Akin “legitimate rape” gaffe happened during the 2012 presidential election cycle. Broke through, Romney had to comment on it. Very different media cycles this year, and Biden’s age overwhelms many of them.

A-fucking-men:

More and more people are saying that The Philly Inquirer is the only place to get legit news. Fuck the NYT and WaPo. Philly forever.

it's worth noting, perhaps, that a lot of the "french elections defy predictions!" coverage is written by people/outlets who made the predictions

this is true of many things, not just politics, but often people in this position are better at writing/talking about a thing than they are actually understanding it. your halftime analysis is designed to keep the audience, not necessarily inform them

We are going to beat the fascists

Had 2 families over today for a cookout. The election didn’t come up once

Anecdotal, but spoke briefly with some not terminally online friends at a hang out yesterday and the consensus among them was a) news media overhyping debate and b) just stick with Biden as nominee

LOL LMAO

OH, a big result: Marine Le Pen's *sister* has LOST her bid to join Parliament. She led 40% to 26% in Round 1. Her left opponent won by 0.5%. (Macronist, who came in 3rd, initially said she wouldn't drop out but then changed her mind. Ended up blocking Le Pen.)

Between this and the UK, I am feeling much more bullish on November

*MACRON'S GROUP PROJECTED TO WIN MORE SEATS THAN FAR RIGHT *LEFT ALLIANCE SET FOR 170-215 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *LE PEN'S GROUP SET FOR 110-158 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *FRENCH LEFT SET FOR SHOCK ELECTION VICTORY, PROJECTIONS SHOW

lol eat shit Le Pen

Info I hear from France suggests results may be very surprising. I had to double check I was reading right. Now appears to be confirmed by *EARLY EXITS* in Swiss media: RN weaker than expected. Fight for first between left & Macronists, though RN possible still in right for low plurality.

Things seem bleak but it’s probably a bad sign for Republicans that people have started mentioning their actual goals and political blueprint and their response is “how fucking dare you??”

Once again Philly proves it’s better than New York

Philly Inquirer continue to keep it legit. Biden is being held to a standard that Trump isn't. Fuck you all.

The lingering focus on Biden’s shaky debate obscures Trump’s major verbal miscues | Editorialwww.inquirer.com The president must now convince voters he has the mental acuity to do the toughest job in the world. The same bar does not exist for Trump, who loses no points for incoherence or incompetence.

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

Arkansas abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measurewww.nbcnews.com A measure to enshrine abortion rights in the ruby red state’s constitution is now one step closer to making the November ballot — but major obstacles remain.

(Mathematically it probably is the likeliest outcome)

I don’t think it’s the likeliest outcome at the moment but holy shit the funniest scenario by far would be Biden to win anyway

OK but if Warner is worried about Biden losing (or Trump winning), where’s he been? He’s been more vocal about the threat of Tik Tok than the threat of Trump. He’s willing to go to the extraordinary measure of pushing out the Dem candidate last minute, but court expansion was too drastic for him.

lol. Lmao

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared
