"The rules say you can't change the Supreme Court without the Supreme Court's permission" well first of all the rules don't say that. Second of all it doesn't matter they already ripped up the fucking rulebook and wiped their asses with it and you're over here trying to unsmear the shit off of it

not an original observation by far, but: one of the most useful things about project 2025 for the left is it's a way to organize people against Christian nationalism, and beyond this election, because they are not going anywhere

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

The reason they keep quoting panicked donors in the "Biden is DOOOOMED" story is that the donors are all extremely online and watch cable news etc and so its just a feedback loop. You make a new story in the NYT out of the donors repeating shit they read in the NYT

Remember, if the government can obtain a conviction against Bob Menendez for taking bribes and stuffing gold bars into his closet that he was given for working on behalf of a foreign government, there's nothing stopping them from indicting you for the same thing.

Something you may have missed yesterday - The Biden Administration is going to unveil a nationwide rent control proposal. It's going to be challenging to implement, and will require control of both chambers, but they're working on it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“If Mr. Biden remained, not only would he lose to [Trump], he could be enough of a drag on other Democratic candidates that the party would most likely lose the Senate and miss an opportunity to win control of the House, Mr. Schiff said at a fund-raiser in New York.” www.nytimes.com/2024/07/16/u...

if you are a politician and someone who attends your rally walks away willing to say something like this, you have badly, badly misunderstood the entire fucking purpose of a political rally

i hope schiff reads this and then slaps himself in the face a few times

Yeah there's been a four-year Sinclair/Fox/CNN barrage of "Doesn't everything stink under Biden, don't your groceries cost too much, aren't you scared of shoplifting gangs and the migrant caravan??" but Trump was Trump and he still is

I think the argument that as Trump gets more airtime people are going to remember that for four years they felt like shit is underrated.

We had about two years where you didn't have to think about Trump every fucking day and it was good. I think most of the country just wants that back.

"I'll run the government so well you won't have to think about me at all" would be a compelling pitch from Biden and Democrats. Competency is really underrated.

Mostly agree except on reflection I feel like the three-day combo of the shooting, the Cannon decision, and the Vance pick was a powerful reminder of how miserable and exhausting it was to live with one goddamn thing after another when this guy had the spotlight for four straight years

The polls are definitely bad for Biden, but the Senate polls at least show Dem voters will be voting down ballot. That’s at least good news in that there are voters that can come home to the Dem Presidential nominee

I stand behind this skeet from last week.

The most sobering moment of this summer should be when Trump picks some GOP freak to be his running mate and everyone remembers this is all real, again.
