A diligent reporter might want to cross-check the visit dates with Biden's agenda, which is public. A supporting and sensible editor might insist that a non-diligent reporter go back and do that before printing crap.

I forget whether it was Plouffe or Axelrod (or someone else) who said the only thing you never get more of in a campaign is time.

How long would one expect a unique process like this to start?

So… last week? When we moved here in June 2014, or even my brother and sister in law explained how to survive. Visitors can’t be expected to follow the monsoon rules: get up before 5, stay inside between 9 and sunset, and it’s still hot after dark.

But the mid-season mini-primary gives LeBron a chance at another ring, as well as the July Primary MVP award.

May you have the confidence of way-too-wealthy party donors who have truly mediocre ideas. But let's put a name to this: the Dunning-Krugerrand Effect.

To save democracy, the Democratic party may resort to deploying the greatest concept of all time: a political version of the NBA In-Season Tournament

Dunning-Kruger. But if they're billionaires, it's Dunning-Krugerrand.

Hey, friend, we don't need Xitter-level ad hominem here. We have it on occasion, but you don't need to engage in it.

Past the time early ballots go out in some key states, likely.

We could ask, similarly, how long until winning?

Here's what I meant: Going from wherever he is now to where he was June 26 is possible, would take time. Getting Harris as a nominee to Biden as of June 26 would take time. Getting anyone else as a nominee to Biden as of June 26 would take time. What would be the expected time for each scenario?

Expected time for Biden: I'd guess late September. Harris: early August (pre-convention). Anyone else: early September.

I grew up in the land of the Nainrofilac, raised my children among the Naidirolf, and now live with the Nanozira. These different groups among the Nacirema illustrate the importance of understanding variation among a seemingly common culture.

I'm all in on either of them. I forget whether it's Plouffe or Axelrod who said the only thing you can never get more of in a campaign is time, but I'm surprised no pundit of any stripe is starting there because it's July 7.

There's also the UK! In some ways, I think the 2022 midterms in the US are like today's results in France: a partial rebellion against revanchism that didn't prevent a weak GOP majority in the House, but did lead to a 51-seat Senate D majority.

Okay, let's push this further. If you think Biden should drop out, it's important to predict the lies that the GOP will instantly foist on Harris or (ugh, this is horrible choice) some of the stronger governors, and how to prevent that from becoming the insta-narrative.

That's the weirdest photo of "Democratic insiders" I've ever seen. I know that's the WaPo's editors' fault, but so is the story framing. The discourse both is and is not a media creation. If Biden drops out and Harris is nominated, I'm riding. If Biden doesn't drop out, I'm riding.

Penn’s ed school dean from 1975-87 was infamous. It shouldn’t have taken 43 years to take the least symbolic action www.thedp.com/article/2018...

One of the huge gaps in the history of ed tech is assistive technology, and how that's been so different from much of the rest of ed tech. I have two books to write before that one, but it's on my list.

Do I get any credit here? 👇🏻

Wild thought: double haters gonna double hate. That is, there’s a certain likelihood that the polls are not going to move as much in the next week as some Democrats fear.
