The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.

Hear me out. Bidenomics was working and we should go back to that.

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

‘Mommy, how did WW3 start? Was it a conflagration between superpowers over military/economic hegemony? ‘No. An old man in a diaper who snorts Adderall and used the presidency to make his family rich and cover up his lifelong sexual predation didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize…’

This can't be good.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Democrats blast Trump for frequently falling asleep during official events, but we saw the exact same thing from Joe Biden. And by "the exact same thing," I mean he never actually fell asleep in public but it totally felt like he might. by Jake Tapper

Trump would sell bullets to school shooters if there was a buck in it for him, he offered to sell weapons to China because his sons own companies with Defense Department contracts. He DGAF about you, MAGA. VOTE Blue.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Today's cartoon by Nick Anderson. The demographic that actually purchases heavy-duty diesel trucks and fills them up at the pump is highly specific: Gender: Fully 90% of diesel truck buyers are men. Race: More than 84% identify as white.

Trump: "We have the best, uhh, I guess you could say poverty. They talk poverty. We have the best poverty numbers ever in the history of our country."

You might be surprised to hear me say this, but I think Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party. Just not for the reasons you probably think. He has a sharp strategic mind and the credibility to say uncomfortable truths to his own people and be heard rather than exiled.

A must read.

"Trump's first term has been memory-holed. His dirty deeds are treated as discrete acts instead of a continuum of crime with recurring players. His prior decades of illicit activity have vanished from the public domain: because there is no public domain." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/gutting-th...

The Athletic | Initial reports suggest Jaxson Dart's injury could cost him the entire NFL season but will not impact his duties as the Trump administration's Secretary of Vineyard Vines.

Wow.

The major television networks are standing with CNN by declining to replace its White House pool crew after the Trump administration barred the network from fulfilling its assigned duties on Monday. https://cnn.it/4xAtxTC

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Among the many heros and rescuers involved with 9/11, let's remember the folks from the ASPCA who rescued stranded pets of the people who weren't allowed to get into their apartments for several days, and provided emergency medical care.

She rocks.

"For it is not enough to allow dissent. We must demand it. We dissent from the fact that millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich. We dissent from the conditions & hatreds which deny a full life to our fellow citizens because of the color of their skin." - Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
