Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

Three things that are true: 1) I did not support Biden in the 2020 primary 2) I thought Biden looked like a reanimated corpse at the debate 3) I have every confidence that he is fully capable of being President, and the New York Times and other outlets are fucking him to goose readership

I am just Some Guy but it definitely has compelled me to get way more vocally supportive of Biden in defense, just because of how obvious it is that this is ratfuckery from the bad guys and their painfully stupid patsies in the press

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

This is like that long-running Twitter joke where Twitter kept adding things and everyone said, "Just get rid of the the Nazis." Except now it's "Just stop hanging out with Nazis all day, boss." But he won't. He can afford to do whatever he wants, and he wants to hang with the Nazis.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

A lot of things that Biden wants to do are things I think are good things we should do. A lot of things Trump wants to do are things I think are bad things we shouldn't do. Therefore I will be supporting Biden even though I don't agree with him on everything. This is not complicated.

Excited to introduce a project I've been working on for a long time: a thorough comparison of Biden and Trump on the issues. "The stakes, not the odds," to borrow from Jay Rosen. The initial version has 6 topics, but I'll be adding more, as well as updating with new statements/policies. Gift link:

Cops == crime janitors They sweep up post-crime to collect evidence, when they're not busy shooting dogs or beating ethnic minorities Enable people to live without criming and fewer people do crimes

"U.S. police departments have gotten smaller—and the violent crime rate is still plummeting. So what is going on?" What's ALWAYS gone on. Cops do not stop crime. They never have. Real "tough on crime" measures are well-funded schools, free daycare, and mental health services. Always have been.

Whoa, I'm pleasantly surprised by this given the non-sense history and tradition justification on bump stocks and reproductive health care. I don't know how the Conservative Justices thread that ideological needle but I guess I'll take the win.

Breaking: The Supreme Court, 8-1, upholds the federal ban on possession of a firearm by those with a domestic violence order out against them. Thomas is the lone dissenter.

By the way, the "parole in place" policy that Biden is using for undocumented spouses of US citizens was first used under a Republican president, George W Bush. His DHS chief granted it to the spouses of military families. Biden is broadening this to help more American families.

Some news: Dozens of legal scholars have signed a letter defending Biden's move as a faithful exercise of the executive's parole authority, in keeping with the law’s intent to create tools to treat certain migrants humanely in unforeseen circumstances. 8/ newrepublic.com/article/1828...
