The “frontrunner” whose campaign whines to press that their coverage doesn’t capture his true strength spent a week floating attacks on Warren then dispatched a surrogate to pen a lame op-ed attacking her a day before the debate.

Smells like weakness. washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-lik…
Biden 2020 is Clinton 2008 and Ed Rendell is Bill Shaheen. Like, history is repeating itself as we watch.
Biden can whine and lash out at his opponents all he wants, but his problem isn’t his coverage or Warren or anyone else. It’s that everyone knows who he is and what’s he’s offering, and 75% of primary voters want someone else. His ceiling is on him.

If Dems beat Trump in 2020 we’ll find McConnell and his system of obstruction lurking, ready to paralyze a new president. Winning the WH isn’t enough. To deliver change we need to take back the Senate & nuke the filibuster. I wrote about it for @GQMagazine gq.com/story/senate-r…
The piece includes your obligatory reminder that the 60-vote threshold was *not* an original feature of the Senate. Its use today, erroneously accepted as timeless, is a mutation of a rule that was introduced in 1917 and rarely invoked for the first half-century of its existence.
When Washington described the Senate to Jefferson as the saucer that cools the tea, he was not talking about the supermajority threshold because none existed at that time or would for 100+ years. He was talking about 6 year terms, statewide representation and staggered elections.

Today's NYT: someone called Bret Stephens a bedbug so he googled "Jews as bedbugs" to reverse-engineer a column calling his critics Nazis, forgot to clear the search and declined to note that the citation did not substantiate the anti-Semitic connotation he based his column on.
There is so much good journalism going on at the NYT. What is so deeply frustrating is that the stuff that embarrasses and undermines it as an institution seems so easily preventable.
Yup, it seems like Bret did the "jews as bedbugs" search himself. Following the lead of @nycsouthpaw I clicked the link in his column and got the same result. Here's a screenshot.

In June Jeffries dismissed impeachment, saying "the overwhelming majority of the caucus" isn't for it. Now the overwhelming majority (139 Ds) support it. Vulnerable members are getting grilled back home. Time to shift out of "if" mode and into "how/when." politico.com/story/2019/08/…
If the House impeaches Trump, he is impeached. The point is to state for future generations that Trump's conduct is unacceptable. Only impeachment achieves this. Anything else is normalization. History will not give much weight to outraged statements.
History records two presidents as being impeached, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Neither was removed from office by the Senate. (Nixon resigned before being impeached.) Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution states that the House "shall have the sole power of Impeachment."

#Campaign in tweets - @Guardicore Labs in a new tradition; we find the attacks, you get to know them and learn the attackers' tricks and techniques. This time, let's get familiarized with "Lemon_Duck", a #cryptomining campaign involving a sophisticated #propagation tool. 🍋🦆
Before we start: all scripts, binaries and IOCs are available on our github repository. In addition, malicious IPs, attack servers and domains appear on @Guadicore Cyber Threat Intelligence portal. You're welcome to take a look :)
threatintelligence.guardicore.com/?utm_medium=or…
github.com/guardicore/lab…
Lemon_Duck starts by breaching machines over the #MSSQL service or the #SMB protocol. We'll focus on the MS-SQL flow. Once inside the machine, the attacker enables #xp_cmdshell to run shell commands. It will take only a single command line to trigger the rest of the attack.

Calling Pennsylvania "#Biden's home state" as an excuse for why his base of operations isn't Delaware, where he was senator for THREE DECADES, ignores that he's trying to deflect from what Delaware stands for and what he did there when #Warren is going to hammer him on it.
#Biden never lived in #Philadelphia, ever.
He was born in Scranton, a white town upstate that is diametrically oppositional from Philadelphia which is majority black and the poorest big city in America.
Biden moved to Delaware from Scranton, PA when he was TEN.
It's fine to decide to distance yourself from the place--DELAWARE, not PA-- you lived for SIXTY SIX YEARS & where you grew up, got married, raised your kids & grandkids. But don't pretend it's because you are FROM Philadelphia when you just want our votes & your state is tiny.

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

Almost every sentence in Trump's USA Today op-ed attacking Medicare for All contained a misleading statement or falsehood. Let's set the record straight.

Thread.
Medicare for All would not “end Medicare as we know it and take away benefits that seniors have paid for all their lives.” It's called Medicare for All because it would take the program and expand it to everyone. Seniors’ benefits would not be taken away – they would be improved.
Medicare for All won't cost $32.6 trillion over 10 years, b/c it will introduce savings not accounted for in the study Trump cites. But even if it did, that would be LESS than projections for our current system, which also leaves tens of millions of Americans without coverage.

1) Here is an op-ed attacking free speech, but it has some good content and I think we should talk about it. bigleaguepolitics.com/media-matters-…
2) The op ed is embedded in an analysis by @bigleaguepol but if you want to see just the video go here:
3) The title of this video op-ed is: “How The Far-Right Is Dividing Americans With Social Media.”

It is published by “Now This” and features Melissa Ryan, “Editor, Ctrl-Alt-Delete” and a “Visiting Fellow, Media Matters.”

1. All of a sudden, there are numerous comparisons of Trump to Stalin. This isn’t new, but the frequency and intensity are. I wonder if we are approaching an inflection point beyond which it will be plain to everyone that Trumpism is totalitarianism’s cousin.
2. The most important instance of this comparison came from Jeff Flake. The outgoing Arizona Republican senator said Trump's phrase "enemy of the people," to describe the press, recalls the Soviet dictator.
3. On Sunday, Flake said, "I'm saying he borrowed that phrase. It was popularized by Josef Stalin, used by Mao as well—‘enemy of the people.’
