Meanwhile, President 's campaign is holding a news conference outside the courthouse in Manhattan, a guarantee of attention since the media has been stationed here for week.

The speakers have focused not on the , but largely on the insurrection by supporters on , 2021, & the threats the Biden campaign argues Trump poses to & the nation's future.

The Texas GOP's idea of requiring that statewide candidates win a majority of counties is remarkably anti-democratic even by the standard of the modern GOP. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/28/texas-republican-party-democracy/

The fallacy at the heart of trickle-down economics is the notion that making the rich richer will somehow benefit everyone else.

But when so much wealth is concentrated at the top, that simply doesn't happen.

The rising tide does not, in fact, lift all boats.

Instead, yachts rise while many other boats spring leaks or sink.

"But that’s Arlington. Buried alongside each other are privates and generals, senators and the formerly enslaved, retired soldiers who earned the right long before their final breaths many decades after their service and teenagers who earned the right before they were ever permitted to legally drink, all bound together in the same soil, under the same headstones, forever in formation and at peace."

Billionaires can get laws written in just weeks since they get distressed by it. Remember this the next time they say they cannot do anything to address climate change or poverty.

Also, remember this law exists because of the newly minted billionaire Taylor Swift.

@divya Hm... I believe it was Elon Musk who started this crap because he was afraid something would happen to him...

<insert GIF of surface-to-air missile here>

And seeing that Ms Swift is considered to be a huge thorn in militant MAGA's side, she's probably in even more danger of actually getting shot down by some lunatic who got his hands on a Stinger missile.

We passed an anti-price gouging law in Portland years ago that is simple and brilliant.

Every store inside the airport must sell items at the same price they’d be in a normal store inside city limits.

It’s a bit of a shock when you buy a bottle of water there for $2, then on your return trip it’s $8 somewhere else.

Every airport in every city should have this law.

A very wet year! A graphic illustration of why we don't camp on the flood plain.

Ground was so damp, our fire pits would flood. We built a raft to build our fire upon!

Thank goodness for blockhouse accommodations!!!

    It boggles my mind that the Washington Post knew about the insurrectionist flag at the residence of a Supreme Court "Justice" at the time it was flown -- but didn't tell the public what it knew until years later, the NY Times did report it.

    Journalistic malpractice is putting it mildly.

    I realize the NYT headline of their story is "Trump leads in 5 states"

    but that’s not what the data in these polls say.

    He leads in 3 - AZ, GA, NV

    • and 3 are essentially tied.

    As I wrote on Saturday,
    🔸if you spend your time with polls with registered voters you see an electorate more favorable to Trump.

    🔸If you spend your time with likely voters you see one more favorable to Biden.

    This is becoming a very important part of our emerging understanding of the 2024 election,
    and a dynamic that is in my view very ominous for Trump.

    That the NYT Times centered their headline and graphics around the results with registered voters was an editorial choice.

    Tim Walz on CNN on Trump speaking to the Libertarian National Convention: "I find it ironic he was at the libertarian convention, and no one has been more restrictive, whether it's women's reproductive rights or the right to vote."

    aaron.rupar,

    Walz: "When Trump was president, governors like myself were in Hunger Game battles with other governors to get ventilators to keep our people alive because he did nothing."

    Trump's Libertarian fiasco!

    There's video all over of Trump being booed and jeered as he taunted the Libertarian convention and demanded they nominate him. It also is reported that MAGA people plotted to take reserved seats that were meant for Libertarian delegates -- a typical Trump plot device -- but the Libertarians weren't putting up with it. First Trump attempted to
    promise them a seat in the cabinet if they nominated him, then he started belittling them for only getting 3% of the vote. All in all quite the spectacle. Now that's entertainment!
