the new Queen of England

New: The Democrats’ “hunker down and wait for the focus groups” respond to the Trump felony conviction reminds me of nothing so much as their race to recess after the insurrection, providing Republicans precious time to regroup. offmessage.net/p/theres-no-sh…

important context here is that this guy Ben starts as an undecided and moves towards Biden as the conversation goes on

Another rightwing Brit, this one formerly employed by Lord Rothermere and (of course!) Rupert Murdoch.

Between Politico, WaPo, WSJ, NY Post, and now the Daily Beast, we are seeing a full-scale takeover of US news media by foreign billionaires.

You're a substitute teacher in a class of 5th graders: Yes, explain what 'penultimate' means!

You're a Brit veteran of Telegraph (ugh) and of Murdoch scandals ( prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/ph… ) lecturing WaPo newsroom after canning their editor and announcing your Brit pal as permanent

But in the long run, we’re going to see this happen again and again until Dems choose new leaders, and a new class of advisers, and free themselves to brainstorm and take risks rather than outsource all politics to the quants. offmessage.net/p/theres-no-sh…

The good news is that the more battle-ready members of the party could still use their official powers to hoist the felony convictions back above the fold. I offer many specific ideas. For instance… offmessage.net/p/theres-no-sh…

My god.

***TPM was first to obtain the complaint***

3 Organizers Of Trump Fake Elex Plot—Including Chesebro—Charged In Wisconsin talkingpointsmemo.com/news/3-organiz… via Talking Points Memo

'If you get me elected,' Trump recently told a group of potential major donors, 'we're going to set that [pro-Palestinian] movement back 25 or 30 years'. Imperative to keep him out of the WH. haaretz.com/us-news/2024-0…

When you fight for an election win you need to have some teeth The Democrats
You’ve been handed a candidate with 34 felony convictions
It seems to me & others that this is not being utilized to its advantage

Some great advice on how from Brian Beutler

NEW: Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed felony forgery charges this AM in Dane County Circuit Court against Kenneth Chesebro, Jim Troupis and Michael Roman over the 2020 fake elector scheme to overturn Donald Trump's loss to Joe Biden.

Biden, last night in Connecticut, nailing his convicted felon opponent:
“This isn’t the same Trump who got elected in 2016. He’s worse. Something snapped in him when he lost in 2020. He can’t accept he lost, and it is literally driving him crazy.”
All of that is objective true.

You can really feel David Zaslav’s thumb on the scale as CNN insists the trial of Hunter Biden, who has never sought or held office, for lying in the purchase of a gun he possessed for 11 days in 2018, when his father was not in office, is the week’s most important story.

The two ultra-orthodox parties in Netanyahu's coalition: Shas and UTJ announced they support the Israeli hostage deal proposal and called Netanyahu to push forward with it regardless of political pressure by ultranationalist ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich

If you want to argue that GWB should have gone after Clinton for perjury, be my guest, but I think even W knew how untenable those charges would be, even if technically supportable. The NY charges against Trump weren't weak! His coverup was systematic and had a long paper trail.
