The NYT Parkinson's "scoop" is even worse than it seems from the headline, bc buried in paragraph 11 the reporters *know* Dr. Connard met with someone other than Biden, and on March 28, 2024 the President's Public Schedule shows Biden was in NYC the whole day

Meanwhile, where is the top headline in the NYT that the draft GOP platform states that fetuses have constitutional rights, amid Trump/RNC efforts to claim it "softens" the GOP abortion position?

One reason why a Parkinson’s expert might have visited the WH 8 times in 8 months is bc a big Parkinson’s bill just got passed and signed. But don’t let that little bit of fact get in the way of your shitty ableist rumor mongering, NYT

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Wonder why the White House would have a Parkinson's expert visiting over the last year. Very suspicious stuff

"If Biden and his handlers can keep us humming along, I'm not going to change horses now." -some voter out there who's heard Biden is Old

Strong economy + lessening inflation concerns + incumbency = people are really, really underrating Biden's chances (& I kinda suspect the fact that no credible candidate has made themselves available to be drafted in the past couple weeks means they know it too)

Consumers no longer expect elevated inflation as prices have cooled back to a normal pace of increase. *US 1-YR INFLATION EXPECTATIONS FELL TO 3% IN JUNE FROM 3.2% *US 3-YR INFLATION EXPECTATIONS ROSE TO 2.9% IN JUNE AFTER 2.8% *US 5-YR INFLATION EXPECTATIONS FELL TO 2.8% IN JUNE AFTER 3%

No time to argue about the lobsters, or bet on them. Amazing!

As others have said, Macron was too clever by half. He set up EXTRAORDINARILY (record) speedy elections: Only 1 week before filing deadline. You'd think: No way fractured left unites in that time. Instead, made situation SO URGENT that Left had no time to fight on its issues.

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.

“We don’t like being judged by this document that plainly states our intentions”

President Biden and other Democrats are increasingly focusing their attacks on an aggressive right-wing agenda called Project 2025 that is being pushed by allies of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump — prompting Trump and his team to lash out in recent days at supporters of the effort.

these stories served their purpose, allowing the GOP to shift the terms of the 2021 and 2022 elections away from Covid and the recovery to favorable ground of "crime." Now that the narrative is collapsing, conservatives just retreat to a new battlefield of their choosing and the press follows.

Anyone keeping track of the narratives pushed by law & order centrists during the pandemic that have disintegrated? I've got the shoplifting panic, cops quitting because of protesters, progressive DAs ushering in new age of crime & violence, bail reform = more crime . . . Others?

“I am 100% behind the Democratic nominee for president because in the last 3.5 years we’ve passed the most consequential climate legislation in history and created the most jobs of any administration, while the GOP nominee wants to use Project 2025 to strip women of their right to an abortion.”

If elected officials get asked about primary chaos they should be able to turn it back to a line that references accomplishments and Project 2025 inside of five seconds.

Do you remember a couple years ago when Boston Children’s Hospital was targeted with bomb threats because of disinformation of their gender-related services, and a woman was arrested? She was convicted, and in the defense sentencing memorandum is something interesting.

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.

Trump raped a woman, was revealed as being in constant contact with a sex trafficker, stole nuclear secrets, is old, forged electoral certificates, was convicted of 34 felonies, committed fraud, is literally on the Saudi payroll, sent a mob to hang his VP but the opponent is also old.

In this chat, we suggest a distinction between covering something (NYT does great reporting on Trump's autocratic plans), and *crusading.* The latter is wholly different: It uses saturation coverage to alert readers that they should be alarmed. That's just not happening w/r/t Trump's unfitness.

This isn't true on its own terms -- Biden has held multiple campaign events and attacked Trump -- but it's also a slight of hand where Biden trying to steer questions towards policy is evidence he wants to avoid the age question and addressing them is just more evidence that it's a concern.

Biden appears to have mostly given up on campaigning against Trump, and his campaign is focused mostly around denying the obvious about his age. That only is more evidence he's not up to what he needs to do.
