It is actually not great when wealthy elites try to have this much influence on the nominee, whether or not you think Biden is fit to serve.

Many wealthy Democratic donors are trying to pressure President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and help lay the groundwork for an alternate candidate.

For about the millionth time, I’ll just say — having a public editor who could ask people how this happened and lay it out for readers would actually make the paper look better than fucking up this badly and then walking away from it without saying a word.

In the middle of the night, I came up with a solution to a problem I've been working on, but didn't want to sit up to write it down because I was sure I would remember it. I don't.

the fourth estate is fucking kneeling in advance and that is, i think, worth a lot more discourse than whether the only non-fascist in the race is an old man, which he is.

I SAW JOE BIDEN BEING OLD, what a fucking brilliant revelation, did that take you 3 or 5 minutes to come up with? “i would walk through hell to vote for the corpse of joe biden before ever voting for trump” is the base dem voter, maybe at least talk to a couple of them before you fucking kneel

Don't want to speak to a stranger? Do want to communicate something important to your party's leaders? Call on a federal holiday, leave a voicemail.

If you're a member of a political party (i.e. a registered voter), and you want to communicate something important to your party's leadership, reaching out to any federal electeds who are also members of your party (congress, senate) or any statewide official (governor) is a way to communicate

I am in this photo and I don't like it.

I'm watching 'A Boy Named Charlie Brown' and it is interesting how much more dog-like Snoopy is in this one, compared to 'Snoopy, Come Home'. I mean, Snoopy still does things like ice skating, but he's shown on all fours more often.

Pardon, y'all, but I have some data. From Josh Marshall - "[W]e now have seven polls in which we have before and after data from individual pollsters, before the debate and after... Putting all those together you have Biden going down one point and Trump remaining unchanged."

Self-care is essential, but what about those times when you're so emotionally distressed that even self-care feels impossible? That's when you need to turn to: ✨self-soothing✨ Self-soothing isn't a reward or a treat, it's a necessity to be able to continue on your day effectively.

But have you considered that I really don’t like Biden and win or lose I’m more invested in “democrats bad and dumb they should remove Biden somehow I’m so smart” than stopping Trump?

It’s a rat fuck promoted by America’s most evil newspaper, and it sounds especially insane to me in light of how Trump is incredibly obviously incapable of stringing a coherent thought together.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

That part isn't the disinfo part. It's the chaos and rumormongering that is going to be used to get Mike fucking Johnson etc. into power once they push Kamala Harris out of the line of succession. It's also being used to distract everyone from mounting a coordinated response to the Supreme Court

“The rabbits got the gun now” coming from a lawyer for a crooked Governor going after a newspaper writer is such a telling comment about how much we’ve let powerful people cast themselves as victims and it goes from this to Elon to Trump and everywhere else

She exposed how the nation's poorest state spent federal welfare money. Now she might go to jail.www.nbcnews.com "The rabbit's got the gun now," said a lawyer for former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who is trying to force reporter Anna Wolfe to reveal her sources.

Biden has a good cabinet, a good staff, and a great VP. Stop worrying about whether he is as quick on his feet as he used to be! Even if he was 30 years younger, his cabinet and staff would still be doing all the "we have to act quickly" work.

If you're so concerned about the stakes of this election you could just... spend the next four months writing about the stakes of this election. A constant drip of articles calling the Democratic nominee unfit is also not a great strategy for winning!

some positive news: the prospects of defeating Le Pen in France in the runoff look much higher than they did after the first round, as third place finishers actually dropped out in most competitive districts

FRANCE UPDATE: The near-final list of candidates who are in the French runoffs is out. Two days ago, 311 districts were going to have 3-way or 4-way runoffs. Then, 200+ candidates dropped out to block far-right. So: There'll be "just" 91 such runoffs this coming Sunday.

You're entitled to your despair. But understand that when you catastrophize on social media, you risk spreading learned helplessness. Which is exactly what fascists want, for people to lie down and cry.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.
