This is just a good headline, American Prospect: Trump’s Lawyers Invite Biden To Assassinate Him.

“Violent threats,” in this economy? (That is an old joke, young people, it is the same as “nobody goes there anymore it’s too crowded,” or “the food is terrible and such small portions!”) Anyway, it’s not funny though. — Gift link Washington Post

Important! ACHTUNG! Joe Biden very much needs to shore up his support with Black voters and other people of color, very much. It’s true and people need to not assume it’s all skewed polling. His people can start by listening to Capital B News.

This is a surprisingly interesting story about Cenk Uygur’s (LOL) run for president (LOLL) and how he’s trying to get around the Constitution’s seemingly plain “natural born citizen” requirement. He’s got more points than you might imagine (also LOLLLL). (The American Prospect)

The Mayorkas (secretary of Homeland Secretary) impeachment is very very stupid and lies. Once again, I THINK this is an open post. (The Bulwark)

[Bill] Ackman first got mad that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had not fired its president for her (different, better) answers to Stefanik in Congress—the Times, to date, has run two stories about this woman remaining in her job—and then got angrier still when Business Insider revealed last week that Ackman's wife, a high-profile former MIT professor, had engaged in much more egregious acts of plagiarism than Gay. He has been posting about it ever since, revealing in the process that this has been especially unpleasant for his wife because she is an introvert, and that the orb his wife sent to Jeffrey Epstein in thanks for a large donation was in fact a completely normal thing, and also that Brad Pitt was interested in his wife but nothing came of it. As is the custom among his tranche of amphetamized rich guys, Ackman has done this in a series of very long tweets written in a tone that might be described as "Rorshach from Watchmen being interviewed on CNBC."
