NEW PLAN, KIDS

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

In the U.S., the first month of motherhood is often seen as painful and difficult by design. But in Taiwan, new mothers traditionally engage in zuo yue zi, a period of postpartum rest that is now facilitated through an industry of specialized hotels. https://t.co/yDPzD2gVVA

Just occurred to me that one thing Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton all have in common is that they are the child of strong single moms.

Kinda inspirational.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Why does Trump keep telling people they won’t need to vote? He keeps saying it in different venues that he doesn’t need votes or they won’t have to worry about it after this election. Heritage keeps saying they have a secret plan they can’t publish. At what point do we get it?

[Ben Wexler @mrbenwexler]

I’m a single issue voter

I want us to continue to be able to vote

Joe Biden Two Weeks Ago: *stutters*

Political Media: "JOE BIDEN MUST STEP DOWN"

Donald Trump Last Night: "No more elections after this one. Trust me."

Political Media: "Is Kamala Harris too popular right now?"

I ran elections in Arizona for nearly three decades. Here's how I know they're secure https://t.co/Iv1MEmaUYp

@RLSWrites @nytopinion Love this so much. Thank you.

[Malcolm P. Johnson @admiralmpj]

As bad as my last list was, remember, there are Media Figures and Orgs who totally UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT (Saving Democracy) and have gotten the job done SINCE the Debate.

A Thread 🧵:

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every last thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has proved true and each time the people who assured us that what is happening could never happen smoothly pivot to it's happening but it will be fine.

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

Today, Joe Biden proposed a new federal workplace safety standard to safeguard employees against extreme heat.

The new rules would help 36 million Americans avoid deadly and recurring high temperatures.

Thought I'd mention it here since the news doesn't cover this part of the presidency.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

A girl using cover name JANE DOE testified under oath at Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal trial that she was introduced to Trump by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14 years old. Pass it on.

[Sara NK @sznk]

3 days ago #SCOTUS trashed the Constitution, 2 days ago #Project2025 declared a “new American Revolution” & now, JULY 4TH, ZERO MENTION OF IT on @nytimes frntpg. No judicial coup, no Trmp/Epstein/preteens, no RFK dog-BBQ. But literally a dozen “BidenSoOld!” angles. It’s farcical.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Me: Yeah the debate was bad, but I'm sure that the Supreme Court wildin' out will refocus the narrative on what's important.
SCOTUS: PRESIDENTS ARE KINGS
Trump: I had Epstein on speed dial.
RFK: I ate a dog.
Me: See.
Media: BIDEN MUST DROP OUT OF THE RACE
Me: [deep sigh]

[David Leavitt 🎲🎮🧙‍♂️🌈 @DavidLeavitt]

Donald Trump’s former Sec. Def. Mark Esper: “[Trump] was suggesting that...we should bring in the troops and shoot the protesters.”

Q: “The commander-in-chief was suggesting that the U.S. military shoot protesters?”

Esper: “Yes, in the streets of our nation’s capital.”

[Sara NK @sznk]

@MelisaGillett Un. Fcking. Believable. Literally. I can NOT believe this audacious delusion. Thank you for highlighting—may it FUEL OUR FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Nobody loves that Joe Biden is 81. It would be great if he was 35. But you know what I really dislike? Authoritarianism. So I humbly beseech people to get a goddamn grip.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control.

Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.

I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.

[Garrett M. Graff @vermontgmg]

I wrote a history of Watergate that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize last year. And let me tell you: When Nixon said “if the president does it, it’s not illegal,” no one believed that was true.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Trump v. United States will be overruled someday. I agree with @rbhubbell that it’s “destined to be remembered as a mark of shame for the Roberts Court just as Dred Scott tarnishes Chief Justice Taney’s legacy to this day.” Hasten the day by voting against this Court in November

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats refuse to drop Biden and replace him with a different Democrat that I hate, I will have no choice but to vote for him for the third time.
