Damn. Thatās embarrassing for me, I could only name Buttigieg and Harris. In my defense, I knew Vilsack but somehow could only come up with āVlasickā like the pickle. Totally blanked on Blinken, despite knowing him.
Chief Justice John Roberts has set up the court to be Trump's appeaser if he wins and to hold back Harris if she wins. Sure, there's a little more nuance than that, but, that's the story. In case after case, issue after issue, this is the contingent term. I've been writing about it at Law Dork.
The new SCOTUS term begins Monday, but we don't know what that means just yet. Also: The latest on the noncompete rule. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.
A little A, a little B. I donāt think thereās a conspiracy to make MAGAs look moderate for the sake of making them look sane; I think they think it just makes for a better story to have an undecided
I donāt understand why main stream media let themselves fall for this every time.
We don't let public works take home snow plows for their weekend side gigs. Our firefighters have to leave the fire trucks at the station once they punch out. So why does MPD get to use city squad cars and taxpayer funded liability insurance when they pick up off-duty work? š§µ
The full council next considers whether to study what it costs the city to allow police officers to use squad cars and other city resources to work security on the side.
Itās insane to me that traditional mainstream media continue to fall for this
Iām convinced that people like this donāt actually think this, theyāre just saying it because they donāt want to say the real reasons (racism, sexism, etc.) out loud
Sargent: "This is the key. Trump is inventing an alternate world that's completely detached from reality." Perfectly said. And the Harris people shouldn't be saying it makes Trump "unfit". They should run ads saying "Trump/GOP DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE." @benwikler.bsky.social@kleinman.bsky.social
"Project 2025 completely guts FEMA. It guts responses to these kinds of natural disasters. That is something Dems absolutely need to lead with." On the pod, Dem strategist Maria Cardona and I look at how Trump's lies about federal response to Helene are disqualifying newrepublic.com/article/1868...
As Trumpās vile lies about the federal response to the hurricane confirm a New York Times report about his mental unraveling, a Dem strategist suggests a closing argument against him.
