I'm at the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Commitee meeting in Pittsburgh. They just asked pres. campaign representatives in the audience to stand up and ID themselves. These campaigns sent reps:
-Biden
-Sanders
-Warren
-Buttigieg
-Castro
-Gillibrand
-Klobuchar
-Booker
-Williamson
Jeff Berman, who is advising Beto, is also here, as a member of the committee.
Iowa Dems have handed out this document on their proposal for changing the caucuses. #DNCRBC ImageImage

The tangled, nearly 7-year saga of the Stormy Daniels hush money scandal and investigations that has resulted in Trump now being on the verge of indictment, explained

vox.com/policy-and-pol…
THE PAYOFF: The month before the 2016 election, Stormy Daniels prepared to come forward alleging a consensual sexual encounter with Trump 10 years prior — but let it be known she'd accept payment for her silent.

Michael Cohen sent the payment, $130,000, on October 27, 2016. Image
INVESTIGATION 1 (FEDS): When SDNY prosecutors investigated Cohen, they argued the $130,000 payment violated federal campaign finance laws, since it was meant to help Trump win the election.

Cohen pleaded guilty to this and other charges. But the theory was never tested in court Image

Hunter Biden has filed a countersuit against the computer repair store owner who provided his emails and files to Trump allies.

It's interesting to look very closely at which claims Hunter explicitly denies and which he claims not to have knowledge sufficient to confirm or deny
Hunter denies he was referred to the repair store.

Hunter says he lacks the knowledge to confirm or deny whether he asked the repairman to recover info from damaged computers and whether he himself returned to the shop the next day
So this is not an outright denial that Hunter dropped his laptops off at the repair store. Instead it seems to point to a "I don't remember" (implicitly: "I was too wasted" defense)

This seems in very poor taste to me.

Its roots however go back much further than the Great Awokening!

The first version of this exercise I can find online is from the year 1998 (thread cont'd)
Here we have the same exercise, "Whom to Leave Behind," but with different identities. Race is only explicitly mentioned for one person on the list. It's dated 1998 at the bottom.

home.snu.edu/~jsmith/librar…
The version with the rather absurd identities list shows up in a "Diversity Activities" packet uploaded in 2015.

The only instructions given are to talk about it. It seems like a kinda ridiculous, Michael Scott-esque poor taste team-building exercise

Thoughtful @henrygrabar piece on how the city-dwellers worrying about a "crime" problem seem to actually be worrying about a "public disorder" problem.

slate.com/business/2023/… Image
You can imagine a spectrum from “total anarchy” to “authoritarian clampdown."

Current debate is between those who think cities have gotten too disorderly and need more order, vs. those suspicious attempts to enforce more order will inevitably be discriminatory & authoritarian
Another installment of the debate here.

The reason the tide seems to be turning somewhat toward the "more order" camp, it seems to me, is that the "less order" camp doesn't seem to have a solution, focusing instead on denying there's any problem

I wrote about the most consistent throughline to Ron DeSantis's career — his enthusiastic self-reinventions toward whichever political cause is in vogue and whichever persona could help him achieve his next ambition.

He supports The Current Thing.

vox.com/politics/23622…
This tendency of DeSantis’s was evident back in 2019 when @reihan pointed out that he had shifted from a spending-cutting Tea Partier to a Trump superfan to (early in his governorship) a surprisingly uncontroversial pragmatist. But he wouldn't stop there.

theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
DeSantis began his political career running in a crowded open House primary despite little ties to the district's political establishment.

His path to success was cultivating national Tea Party groups and conservative celebrities. So he became a staunch Tea Party spending-cutter

Tucker Carlson and other right commentators play a game where they try to leave the impression that they agree the 2020 election was stolen, without ever quite saying that.

Instead they claim it was in some abstract sense rigged, unfair, or implausible

vox.com/politics/2023/…
Per Carlson's revisionist history, the real story about January 6 is that Democrats and the media were mean to Trump supporters.

Not Trump's then-ongoing attempt to steal the election, not the ample violence that did take place, not the disruption to the transfer of power
"I hate him passionately," Carlson texted about Trump on 1/4/21.

But publicly Carlson is all about convincing Trump supporters that he's their champion against their enemies. So he taps into grievance and tells them how they're the true victims.
