Despite the debate performance, Biden continues to gain ground in swing states as we get closer to the election, which is exactly what you’d expect to happen

If I am reading this thing right it sounds like some OTC antihistamines can help prevent Covid!?! That’s excellent news for travelers this summer.

The GOP’s nominee to run the 9th most populous state just called for killing people who disagree with the far-right and that sentiment was echoed by the head of Heritage and the man behind Project 2025. But like 90% of all political news is about Democratic hand-wringing over Biden’s debate flop.

What's interesting to me is that over on Threads, the support for Biden is very very strong. Totally different vibe there.

I was an early supporter of Harris, voted for her when I lived in California, and even knitted hats for her Iowa staff in the campaign colors. But I am flat-out terrified that America just won’t vote for a Black woman. Like, heart pounding terror. And the ratfucking will be in full force. 😱

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

Listen to the Biden interview. Its 15ish minutes of Biden talking extemporaneously perfectly well. But like several other public events over the last several days, this is getting brushed aside because the narrative that political news media wants to go with is set. civicmedia.us/shows/specia...

As a historian, I’m skilled at “reading” the emotions of past events to get a read on how people experienced them or reasoned their way through them. The current boomerang political craziness careening around right now is making ME crazy. Please, folks. Take a breath.

2nd July 1863. Battle of Gettysburg. For perhaps the only time in the entire war the Confederates seem to be winning. Dan Sickles, commander III Corps, is ordered hold on Cemetery Ridge. For reasons unknown he advances. Broken, his men begin to flee. This is the moment on which the war depends /1

President Biden's campaign raised $127 million in June, including $38 million in the four days after his debate with former President Trump, the campaign announced today.

Others have said it more eloquently, but with everything that’s going on right now, I'm focusing on “what do we do next”. If we want to get out of this mess we need to be laser focused on winning it all in November. Panic, fear, and doomsaying won’t fix it. As we Mets fans say, Let’s F***ing Go.

Biden could definitely capitalize on that immunity but we all know he won't.

Good: "The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. "
