I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

UK politics can be grim, but election night there with constituencies being largely ungerrymandered, losers standing next to winners of podiums, and the "election season is 6 weeks, not 2 years" default is incredibly wholesome

Big victory for Labour — so big that the NYT just gave Sir Keir his own version of ‘Joe Biden Is Old’

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

The Biden "regime's totalitarian grip"...from the Claremont Institute. Right. A regime grounded on free and fair elections, constitutional restraints, and the rule of law. All of which were attacked in yesterday's GOP SCOTUS decision. What nonsense.

I've been thinking about this post from the Claremont Institute, a Trumpist think tank, ever since the SCOTUS immunity ruling. Wonder what "unpleasant things" the Trumpists have in mind. open.substack.com/pub/joelmmat...

In the hope of rising above our current political panic, I offer thoughts on what the crisis of the Revolution says to us today. As a historian, I know that panicky political decisions do NOT lead to good solutions In that sense, the crisis of 1776 speaks to our own www.youtube.com/watch?v=44I5...

I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.

Cannot emphasize enough how pathetic these editorial boards are revealing themselves to be.

Hey look, a country with a much better Supreme Court than ours (I won't say Constitution because it's clear our SCOTUS' decisions have nothing to do with the Constitution)

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil's federal police indict ex-President Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association, source confirms.

A few months before he was reelected overwhelmingly, it was widely reported that Ronald Reagan napped during cabinet meetings.

President Biden told a gathering of Democratic governors that he needed to sleep more and to work less at night, but said he was staying in the race.

Biden Tells Governors He Needs More Sleep and Less Work at Nightwww.nytimes.com The president’s opening remark to a group of key Democratic leaders — that he was in the race to stay — chilled any talk of his withdrawal, participants said.

The best postscripts to an invitation I've ever seen. [via Scott Ruplin]

It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?

Kevin, I am not a historian, so IDK, but has there ever been a President in American History who used a mobility aid? And, if so, would you say this president who was so weak as to need, say, braces or a wheelchair, is considered to be one of the top President’s ever?

I don't post often on Substack, but today felt like a good day to write about my decision to cancel my @nytimes.com subscription. I'd been wanting to for a while, but the last straw was them publishing the "hey, you don't need to vote" nonsense. Enjoy! mirandayaver.substack.com/p/why-i-canc...
