Biden being bad on Israel/Palestine is a fine reason to remember to vote for somebody with better views on this in a future Democratic primary It is not a valid excuse to help Trump, who is in fact far worse on this and every other issue, by calling for abstention
Trump says he wants to let states “monitor women's pregnancies so they can know if they've gotten an abortion”
Most Americans do not see occupying buildings or establishing encampments as acceptable protest tactics, with large differences by party today.yougov.com/politics/artic…
McConnell: The border seemed disastrous to all of us. Initially, there was an attempt to pass legislation that mandates dealing with Democrats. then it appeared that our presidential candidate had no desire for us to do anything.
Reminder that before 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. Reagan's SEC opened the floodgates to their abuse. Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don't increase wages. They don’t grow the economy. They do one thing: Make corporate execs richer.

Such an undertold story: Republicans are corrupt AF and Dems just aren't.
Millionaires in Maine are in the same tax bracket as someone making $62k a year. So state lawmakers passed a rare bipartisan bill, authored by a Republican, that raises taxes on the wealthiest. Democratic Gov. Janet Mills vetoed it. mainepublic.org/politics/2024-…
President Biden’s message to the press: The defeated former president has made no secret of his attack on our democracy. He said he wants to be a dictator on day one, promised a ‘bloodbath’ when he loses again, and so much more. Eight years ago, you could have written it off as…

A law in Florida charges inmates $50 a day to stay in prison cells. Plunging them into lifelong debt. A woman who was sentenced to 7 years but only did 10 months still owes $127K and can’t work in her dream job even after graduating from college.
Charlie Kirk comes to Utah, argues with college students barely half his age, and still manages to look like an idiot in his own highly edited video. Well done.

Very embarrassing American performance. A Danish child born in the bottom half is >50% more likely to reach the top quartile than an American. More like the "European dream."
I am a lifelong liberal Democrat, but if Joe Biden does not give a sit down interview to the New York Times, I will have no choice but to vote for Trump a third time
In other news, former Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) says he voted for Nikki Haley in Tuesday's primary, he'll prob write her name in in November and says "there is a non-trivial, significant minority of Republicans" in PA who won't vote for Trump. inquirer.com/politics/elect…
So far this week... The FTC banned the use of noncompete clauses. The DOL strengthened overtime rules. The FCC restored #NetNeutrality. The DOT expanded protections for airline passengers. This is what it looks like when the government works on behalf of the people.
Impressive. Chips Act funding got basically every major chipmaker to build in the US. “That means the US will become the only country in the world with facilities run by all of the top manufacturers.”

27 point swing for Democrats. NYT: Here's why Mr. Biden should be worried in November...
Translation… I am white and affluent, so I will be all right, but underrepresented groups, you’re on your own.
I was gonna vote for Biden in November -- for labor and also obviously to keep Trump out of office -- but after tonight... Man, I don't know.
16 R-held state house districts in Utah that McMullin won obviously Dems wouldn't contest all of them but McMullin did win 30/75 HDs

@umichvoter I love these "Republicans are the real communists" ads
@umichvoter My favorite part is the hard American English accent on "Rick Scott" each time she hits the name. The way she says it is filled with so much (deserved) contempt. lol

Wait. This is just CHAZ.
UPDATE: A demonstration marshal has requested that all reporters from the Yale Daily News leave the “liberated zone.” “We want to make sure everyone is [in the liberated zone] because they believe in divestment, and they believe in Palestinian liberation,” the marshal said.
Huh.
I had to listen twice to make sure I heard this right because it’s utterly repulsive. @IlhanMN casually calls Jewish students “pro-genocide or anti-genocide.” That’s another way of saying “the unacceptable Jews or the acceptable Jews”
Such an undertold story: Republicans are corrupt AF and Dems just aren't.
Handy chart here of the last ten presidents, the number of federal indictments of Administration officials each president had while in office, and then the average number of indictments per year. There's kind of a pattern here.
“Unfortunately, being Gen Z means dealing with repeated states of the world that are in absolute hostility and turmoil.” That is apparently the most articulate quote that the New York Times could extract from a Columbia protester.
