Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: “Joe Biden is our nominee. He is not leaving this race. He is in this race, and I support him. Now what I think is critically important right now, is that we focus on what it takes to win in November." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/live-blog/trump-biden-election-2024-live-updates-rcna160227#rcrd45315

“The Biden administration has been competently boring, passing a roster of better than anticipated legislative achievements that have led to low unemployment, low fuel prices, massive infrastructure investment and now-declining inflation. This is great for America but it sucks for the bank accounts of most journalists.”

Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board: “To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race.”
“…. the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.
Trump, 78, has been on the political stage for eight years marked by chaos, corruption, and incivility. Why go back to that?”

I worked in HIV/AIDS prevention research for several years, and for a short time at SFGH, site of the first inpatient AIDS unit. I walked past the plaque below every day. I often thought about the people who lived and died in those rooms. They deserved to see the amazing advances of today.

“I don’t find anything unusual about a fundamentalist theocrat who thinks the Bible is the supreme law of the land attending the legal proceedings of an adjudicated sexual assailant and world-class fraudster and con-man for cooking the books to cover up hush money payments he made to a porn star to conceal his adulterous affair,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Do you?” https://www.thedailybeast.com/speaker-mike-johnson-is-the-next-suck-up-to-visit-trump-trial

“Asked for evidence that undocumented immigrants vote heavily in federal elections, Johnson said it was just something everyone knows, while admitting nobody can prove it.”
No facts, just white nationalist vibes.

The failed law enforcement response to the Uvalde shooting took center stage at another campus 160 miles away on Wednesday.
"As troopers from the Texas DPS were sent to UT Austin ... demonstrators audibly turned their attention to the Uvalde ... Video being widely circulated on X appeared to show a group chanting, 'Who failed Uvalde? DPS!'"

“The case has become known as the ‘Stormy Daniels hush-money case,’ which has made it easier for the public to dismiss, because it seems like small potatoes. In fact, the argument that the prosecutors have made in court filings is focussed on something closer to election interference. The case is about Trump lying his way into office.”
