Joe Biden's always been a tragic figure in US politics—but he will be remembered as a uniquely tragic president. The truth is most presidents are more footnotes than chapters in the history books, and Biden is destined to be a footnote: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/history-wi...

Two weeks ago, Jewish Currents interviewed three doctors in Gaza to show the world the direness of their situation. The story was just updated to reflect one of the doctors was killed by an airstrike in his own home, making this quote even more gutting. jewishcurrents.org/we-have-lost...

Last week, I taught a class on the struggle over how the Holocaust should be remembered, memorialized, and taught in Germany today. We had a calm, nuanced, and deeply serious discussion. That’s the college campus reality the “free speech crisis/campus extremism” discourse deliberately obscures.

Every day I log on to Twitter and see some corporate word-dweeb make the same two posts: • Here is what leftists—people I neither know nor read—all believe. • Engage me in Socratic dialogue as I ask what the definition of apartheid is and demand you prove that not every Palestinian is in Hamas.

I applaud Joe Manchin’s effort to unite the broad, diverse Democratic Party coalition. Just watch as we all come together and say with one clear voice: “Fuck Joe Manchin.”

Adams was supposed to be a top Biden 2024 surrogate. Then he started saying “Joe Biden is sending Mexicans to destroy New York” and the campaign quietly but hilariously dropped him from the list. www.politico.com/news/2023/05...

My favorite part about this is you know his campaign staff is deeply wrestling with it. Crisis comms meetings, focus groups. A consultant is paying off their house helping them respond to this.
