"If you change a presidential nominee at this point in the game, the candidate loses."
@HC_Richardson weighs the aftermath of @JoeBiden’s disastrous debate, and argues that excessive coverage eclipses the fact that his opponent is "trying to destroy our country."

I'd just like to point out that, for 250 years, American presidents didn't need to ask for immunity.

Here's a question: Why would any president ever be impeached now? If presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution for "high crimes," then what's the theory of a future impeachment? "The President is allowed to do this, but we don't like it"?
M A G A seems to really stand for “Make America Gilead Already”

I swear to god. Reproductive rights have been destroyed. Voting rights diminished. We've seen an attempted coup.
And these people are arguing about who's better at golf.

You’re not going to defeat authoritarianism at the ballot box. You can delay its spread or delay its ascension.
It takes a cultural sea change. A rediscovery of democratic duty, power, and consciousness. Authoritarianism feeds on its absence. That’s the crux of the whole thing.

Lead pipes may carry water to as many as 900,000 NYC homes, more than 60 years after such pipes were banned across the five boroughs.
Lead can cause permanent brain damage and other developmental problems in children if consumed. gothamist.com/news/1-in-5-ne…

I don't know what to tell you guys. We have to expand the Court. If we don't expand the Court, no liberal policy will be allowed to exist for the rest of our lives. That's why Republicans stole the court, that's why rich people pay for justices.
Govern yourselves accordingly.

How do you spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest.

Anyway, the upshot is that between Milligan and Moore v. Harper... WE GET TO HAVE A DEMOCRACY... for another day at least. For another election, let's hope.
This was a term SCOTUS could have basically destroyed democratic elections and... they didn't. Thomas and Alito wanted to.
Mel Brooks is a national treasure.
