Biden’s Lapses Are Said to Be Increasingly Common and Worrisomewww.nytimes.com People who have spent time with President Biden over the last few months or so said the lapses appear to have grown more frequent, more pronounced and, after Thursday’s debate, more worrisome.

Think of the unique challenge coin that could be issued for this.

Marbury vs Madison was wrongly decided.

There's a lot that I agree with in this Ezra Klein piece, which aside from the headline is pretty scathing.

if your candidate can't put together a minimal techno set that makes me feel like a single blissed out atom vibrating in a cosmic sea of like-minded atoms then your candidate cannot be said to be serious about the economy

Under the current Biden climate policies, if we work hard on implementing them, we can get to an 80% clean electricity system by the end of the decade. If those policies go away, there is zero chance we will get there. Let’s work hard to get to 80% and also add more climate policy to get to 100%.

80% total clean is the top end of the DOE model for 2030. Lots of things need to work out. Let’s make them work out.

I think this is spot-on from @brianbeutler.bsky.social

I have to say, I think Friedman is way, way off base in his description of AI here

Opinion | Joe Biden Is a Good Man and a Good President. He Must Bow Out of the Race.www.nytimes.com Donald Trump is too grave a threat to America. Democrats need a nominee who can unite the country and articulate a compelling vision for it.

I grew up loving the Monty Python “parrot” sketch but never thought it would become a political philosophy

“There was only one president on stage tonight…” - every spin room hack ever

Ezra Klein walking into the office tomorrow

Joe Biden has the best domestic policy record to run on since LBJ and he can’t fucking say a coherent paragraph about it.

Who else just switched to tequila?

Biden needs to fully decriminalize pot tomorrow

If only that mattered

Literally not a word out of Trump’s mouth is true.

I have a feeling that Ezra Klein article is going to be widely circulated again

This debate is a good reminder that pride is a deadly sin

This is really bad

This is not good

I think as a matter of principle it would be good if we start demanding without exception that New York Democrats at all levels of government give a damn about the long term well being of New York City.
