You can watch Joe Biden speak at the Galveston Juneteenth celebration, at Reedy Chapel AME Church, here. He signed the law making Juneteenth a federal holiday. He commemorated and built; he didn't tear down and go in reverse. www.fox26houston.com/news/joe-bid...

Now is not the time to unilaterally disarm in the service of some higher principles. All legal tactics must be on the table. Ideological fights must yield in service of winning. We must recruit and fund candidates who can win their state or districts. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

The neatest bit of trivia from the Yacht Rock Documentary (yes I’m obsessed) is that Christopher Cross won the four big Grammys for “Sailing”: record of the year, song of the year, best arrangement, and best new artist. And no one did it again until Billie Eilish 39 years later.

Regardless of your view of Biden's decision to pardon his son, this reaction from a prominent, well respected reporter illustrates why the legacy media is in such steep decline. Had Biden wanted to explain, there were an endless set of more relevant options available to him than a news conference.

This should go without saying, but it's okay if someone you don't agree with goes on a certain show or podcast. It's okay to be exposed to dissenting opinions. It's okay to feel uncomfortable. The biggest danger for the Democratic Party moving forward is the imposition of ideological purity tests.

It's up to Democratic officials whether they want to stop exclusively rewarding legacy media with their time and start validating the people who are actually advocating for their agenda. But until they make that decision, the asymmetry that cost Democrats this election will persist.

I continue to blame Garland for waiting much too long before appointing Smith and don’t agree that the delay the Sup Court deliberately engineered made Garland’s own delay irrelevant — but @barbmcquade.bsky.social convinces me here that Smith’s motion was exactly right www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Legal and political struggle for justice can and should go hand in hand. Sam Moyn’s idea that it’s one or the other is foolish. Had Merrick Garland moved a year earlier to hold the Chief Insurrection accountable instead of snail-pacing, the history of this dark time would look entirely different.

Between Trump’s tariffs and this, I could not think of a faster way to increase taxes on middle and lower class Americans while slashing taxes for the ultrawealthy.

Although President Biden could order an FBI background check of Tulsi Gabbard, she doesn’t need one. She already has an extensive file detailing her history of worrying relationships overseas. President Biden can — and should — order the release of that file to the Senate. The question is, will he?

Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.

If Jack Smith writes a report and Garland releases it, that's actually a pretty baller move: releasing a report on an incoming president. If he doesn't release it, I'll join y'all in calling him an ineffective jerk.

The question it should prompt is whether it's ethical for journalists to hide that fact that they are hedging their coverage of Trump because they or their billionaire owner fear retribution. But, of course, that isn't in the legacy media's interest to disclose.

I hate hate HATE the way we treat each other on social media & in this world. It’s feels alien to what we’re actually meant to be doing. We’re supposed to be loving each other and eating fruit and building community- but instead we build each other up & burn each other down like social arsonists.
