The GOP is pushing the talking point that Biden should step aside because they know he will wipe the floor with any GOP candidate. He trounced trump in 2020 and that was BEFORE the illegitimate SCOTUS overturned Roe. They're terrified of Joe Biden, and they should be.

I’m old enough to remember when Jared Kushner lied on his SF86 and got away with it

Joe Biden at UAW picket line: "Wall Street didn’t build this country, the middle class built this country. The unions built the middle class. That’s a fact. Let’s keep going, you deserve what you’ve earned. And you’ve earned a hell of a lot more than you’re getting paid now."

To ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS: When it comes to truth, your guy is completely deficient. It’s why he will be found civilly guilty in the NYAG case. Judge Shuts Down Trump’s Claim That He Reversed Himself on Statute of Limitations - The Messenger #TeamCohen themessenger.com/politics/judge…

One of the finalists to be Trump’s AG or WH Counsel if he gets a second term.

BREAKING: Justice Engoron gags Trump from attacking members of his staff, following his post attacking his law clerk. “Personal attacks on members on my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate," the judge said. Story, The Messenger themessenger.com/politics/trump…

The European Union is gearing up to open negotiations with Ukraine on its future accession to the bloc with a formal announcement expected as soon as December, POLITICO writes. politico.eu/article/ukrain…

Hey, so, uh, given that a Republican member of Congress stood up in front of all his colleagues during this national crisis of not having a Speaker of the House--a constitutional officer and 2nd-in-line to the presidency--for three weeks now, and told a senior member of his party

The new House Speaker Republicans just unanimously elected: • Architect of House GOP's efforts to overturn the 2020 election • Voted AGAINST the Violence Against Women Act • Voted AGAINST the Women's Health Protection Act • Voted AGAINST bipartisan legislation to codify

🧵 Rep. Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, just became the Speaker of the House. He’ll be the most inexperienced speaker in American history. But he’ll also be the most far-right one in a long time as well. He's an extremist in a tweed suit. Here's how...

Joe Biden’s standing in Nevada probably isn’t as bad as one recent dismal poll suggests, Jon Ralston writes. But Democrats should still be worried—“in Nevada, and in general, Biden is losing support among key groups.” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

If you think the party which is supporting a literal autocrat is going to somehow protect the Jews from antisemitism, you’re completely delusional

Warning to the wise: Some aspiring dictators in earlier world history have managed to seize absolute power because some people refused to take their most brutal threats seriously.

Please understand this: Republicans are refusing to accept billions of dollars in *actual border security money,* in part because it doesn't include cuts to *legal* immigration. No press account should credulously describe what Rs are demanding as "border security."

Although I mostly avoid post-Elon Twitter and have been busy with translation work (yes, really), I'm popping in to say that the Democratic National Convention sure is a lot more fun than the Republicans' semi-recent hatefest/cult worship Trump convention!

I can already tell you @GeeksForHarris will be iconic. We have a few surprise guests lined up. Perhaps an Alien Superstar?

House Democrats will hold a Steering & Policy hearing this afternoon exposing Trump's Project 2025. The toxic and harmful extreme MAGA Republican agenda must be stopped. #DumpTrumpsProject2025 youtu.be/UZ4B-wIr6VI
