I don't understand why they see "loud anxiety can unseat an incumbent who won the primary" as a legitimate strategy but see "unify around the candidate we have and spend 4 months loudly and feverently arguing why they're the best choice" as an impossible task steeped in denialism.

A member of Trump’s cabinet and the wife of the Republican leader in the Senate resigned in disgust after the 1/6 coup attempt, and I bet she’d have some interesting comments about the convention/coronation

Will we ever get statements from deVos and Chao about why they resigned after Jan 6?

GOP Platform Author Admits There's a National Banjessica.substack.com 7.16.24

I cannot emphasize enough that straight reporting in the NYT should be verified elsewhere if you want to be sure about it. The standards are appalling.

I’m going to start with the absolutely jaw-dropping news that The New York Times deceptively edited a quote to make it appear that JD Vance opposes a national abortion ban. — @jessicavalenti.bsky.social

No, solid state batteries aren’t everywhere and definitely not mass market yet, but they also aren’t vaporware and always five years away. Just like this Yoshino battery, there’s other solid state batteries right on the cusp of ending up in consumer electronics devices near you. But do these early versions live up to the hype? And who is this Yoshino battery really good for? Corrections: 00:05 - I've received some comments that this may not be a true solid state battery, but a semi-solid state battery based on testing from a third party company.

This is a solid set of questions that are certain to go nowhere in the reality that is the Biden presidency. But good on @brianbeutler.bsky.social for raising them. It's an example of something meaningful that could be done.

I’m sorry we have an imperfect candidate but maybe if the party nominally opposed to Trump actually opposed Trump instead of turning on itself like a pack of hyenas we could surmount a polling deficit of a couple of points

They sit around all day and work themselves into a foaming rage over perceived Biden slights, convinced that if only Biden would go, all our problems would be magically solved. They attack anyone who thinks this is a crazy way for a party to conduct itself at this moment in time

Yes, the Democratic Party is proving itself significantly more broken than the White House - completely unable to break out of the spiral of self-loathing and recrimination, unable to resist the urge to panic when faced with a bad news cycle

The party rn is a bigger problem than the candidate in my view. Speaking with one voice forcefully in all channels with confidence that we can make the country better regardless of candidate, dismissing attacks with contempt, treating press foibles dismissively would have us climbing in the polls.

Trump wants to project a unity message after the assassination attempt. How long will it last?www.theguardian.com The ex-president is understood to be softening his RNC speech, but top Republicans are sticking with a caustic tone

The "wants to project" unity thing is literally a fake, imaginary narrative that the media invented to try to help Trump. It's not visible anywhere in Trump's own deranged social media posts and certainly not anywhere in his fellow Republicans' RNC speeches.

As someone not from New York City, I do find it odd that the Mayor routinely describes it as a hellhole that can't even keep its residents alive, much less provide basic services, and reaffirms his commitment to keeping it that way. Seems a suboptimal choice for a Mayor.

Mayor Eric Adams, asked by a reporter about the lack of air conditioning at migrant shelters during a heat wave, says, "Every day New Yorkers don't have air conditioners. We make do." He recommends paper fans and says his mom told him to put his head in the refrigerator. —Emma G. Fitzsimmons, NYT

Say you're ready to make a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT and will be joined by VP Harris. Brag about all the bridges your infrastructure law has built for 10 minutes and then say the announcement is you're denying Trump security briefings because he's a convicted felon.

He should convince the media that he’s hiding secret messages about resigning into every speech, but only if you closely examine every word

The tl;dr This is union-busting, written as a statute. A company union is not a union, it is a way for management to dilute/interfere with the power of the union. Company unions have been unlawful since 1935, because everyone recognizes it is an attempt to union bust. This is trying to undo that.

Not a populist: GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance introduced the Team Act (with Marco Rubio) to empower companies to establish and dissolve “employee involvement organizations” (a.k.a., company unions), a long-standing goal of GOP business leaders: www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
