the fact that Joe made sure that stand-ins for his actual constituents were still firm, while the anti-Joe people were lining up goobers like Clooney and Schiff, is the best argument yet that Joe still has command of the skills that have been winning elections pretty consistently since 1972

This comes as a 20-year-old with a gun tried to assassinate Trump. The story--every story such as this--should say who appointed the judges. Minnesota’s age restriction to carry handguns is unconstitutional, court rules www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

I've heard rumors that some people think that Kim might be gay for Xiaoling, but I just don't see it. I meant, that would imply that Kim's not telling the truth when she says she's straight and she's not actually staring at Ling's abs for the normal platonic amount of time!

The fact that we are talking about this in the mainstream is, in fact, a Big Deal. Previously this has been a live rail major Dem politicians would not go near. The fact they are now jumping into it without specific prodding is a sea change.

Reforming this court is imperative. Ethics rules and term limits alone cannot fully restore balance and independence to #SCOTUS. But today’s announcement is a watershed moment in the fight to take back the court. Our stmt from @liptonlubet.bsky.social:

Call your reps today to tell them you support this and expect them to vocally support these efforts as well as AOC’s articles of impeachment for the compromised justices. It only takes 5 minutes, and you often don’t even have to speak to a real human! (Negative/doomer replies will be blocked)

I also want to point out that Vance's whole "professors are the enemy" schtick came after he profited enormously from universities. Nowhere was "Hillbilly Elegy" pushed more than on college campuses. He cashed in with six figure speaking fees to talk about Appalachian poverty.

We have to say this because Biden/Harris can't. They can't say "the guy who just got shot was closely connected to a pedophile ring", that's not appropriate from the president (we've decided). But we can say "Donald Trump promoted the DA who let Epstein off the hook", and we should

I’m just saying, one candidate is pretty closely connected to an organized pedophilia ring and it’s not the Democratic one
