Even the Russians are mocking Trump’s disaster of a parade. This one’s going to sting.🤣

@thorn_john You’re a wonder, Thorn. But she throws like a girl.

@JoeBinder Cool!

@TristanSnell @jefftimmer Completely meaningless stat. Arizona has 15 counties, and 61 percent of the population lives in one of them.

@DM_Rubenstein @Orioles C’mon, Joe — “reasons that I cannot begin to explain”? How about this: because he’s an egomaniac with the self-control of an infant.

@_everythingism @mattyglesias But for Joe Manchin, the majority leader during the first two years of Biden’s term - the two truly productive years - would have been Mitch McConnell. I guess that was what you were wishing for.

@KBAndersen @DavidFMarchese @nytimes What the fuck???

Care about food? If you live in New York or are planning to visit, you must subscribe to Robert Sietsema’s substack. No one knows what Sietsema knows!!

This is a map of the shift to Trump in NYC.

The surge didn’t happen in places like the Upper West Side or Park Slope.

It happened in Washington Heights, the West Bronx, Flushing, Richmond Hill, Bensonhurst—working class communities of color. 1/2

If present trends continue, this Trump victory will swamp all the micro-explanations. Shapiro as VP wouldn't have changed this. Keeping Arab-Americans in Michigan wouldn't have changed this. It's all the big stuff -- defeat in Afghanistan, a porous border, inflation, and (yes, this really matters) Biden's refusal to acknowledge reality and step aside in time for Democrats to have a real primary.

@Vegasdave59 @nut_history He was even worse in private. Nasty, self-aggrandizing, and in the case of his son, hateful and cruel. Otherwise, a great guy.

@dr_huffer @Jimfrombaseball I’ve met him, and he’s a delightful, engaging, and generous man. Weird, sure. But also all those other things.

@tedgioia I once heard an interviewer ask Benny to tell him about his friendship with Clifford Brown. I thought, just listen to the song, man, just listen to the song.

@HankCampbell Nice! Thanks, DO

@LarkinWarren No - that was GREAT! The more he talked, the better for our side.
