Something I've been thinking about: Beau Biden announced his plans to run for Delaware Governor in 2014 and then disappeared from public life. Everyone around him stayed mum about his health but insisted he was still running as he was on his deathbed
Biden's camp insisted that his disappearance from public life was not serious, and that he was actually ramping up his work. They didn't even concede he was seeking medical attention until two weeks before he died.

If I remember correctly, they didn't even reveal he had terminal brain cancer until after he died. It came as a genuine shock.

Eventually, after his death, the Bidens revealed he had glioblastoma; a cancer with a five year survival rate of 7% and an average survival time of 12-18 months after diagnosis. He would've been diagnosed with it no later than 2013. .utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/artic…

remember when the New York Democrats ran screaming to the right in 2022 and it singlehandedly cost national Democrats the House
anyway the NY Dems somehow have even more influence over the national party now
the New York Times is framing this as "political pragmatism vs. the activist base" which is such an insane way of framing the "gambit" of 1) rushing through a likely-doomed head tax increase, or 2) artificially creating a financial crisis for the MTA Image

Northwestern University, like Brown and several other elite schools, ended their encampment protests by agreeing to an extremely milquetoast set of policies.

In response, the ADL, StandWithUs, and the Brandeis Center have demanded that Northwestern's President resign, along with a particularly unhinged statement Image
Nikki Haley demanded Northwestern send protesters "back to their country"

man I'm gonna be an anxious wreck all day until polls close lol
National observers take Vallas's numbers tonight with a huge grain of salt. He faces even tougher sledding than, say, Rick Caruso did in LA in the runoff...but Lori is no Karen Bass
At the end of the day Chicago is only 1/3 white, and there's a big difference between Blue Lives Matter white Chicagoans and Hate Has No Home Here white Chicagoans. Even in an election with disproportionately white turnout, its hard to see Vallas getting 50% in a runoff.

Really understated that Paul Vallas has been run out of town in every city he's ever been in, INCLUDING Chicago, but he has a shot at being mayor now
He got tossed out of fucking Bridgeport Connecticut because he didn't even bother trying to fulfill basic requirements of his job
God the 2002 Illinois Democratic primary is so funny in retrospect

Im going back to Chicago's first round of voting in 2019 to get a sense of what to expect on Tuesday. The only reason we didn't get a Lightfoot-Daley runoff is because the unremarkable son of an old unremarkable machine pol nearly swept all the wards where machine remnants remain Image
Jerry Joyce got like 2k votes combined in the rest of the city but put up Assad margins in some of these old machine, white wards filled with cops and retired city workers Image
It is a lock that Paul Vallas will make the runoff, and almost certain he will get the most votes Tuesday. The old white machine wards aren't divided between Daley or Joyce this year. The rich white wards have one conservative white choice on the ballot. Its just math. Image
