New York Times: “Back home in West Virginia, Mr. Manchin’s stubborn belief in working across the aisle is recognized as the core of his being, not mere posturing for a conservative state where he may seek re-election.” “Even though the hyperpartisan Senate is not the collegial place it once was — where members argued by day and then dined together at night — and even though small-town West Virginia, with its coal-ravaged mountaintops, can seem a nostalgic anachronism, both institutions dwell as ideals in Mr.

  • A New Biden Ad Is Highlighting Trump’s Criminal Conviction
    Mother Jones, Monday - 06/17/2024 - 04:35 PM

    In a new advertisement, President Joe Biden is highlighting the fact that his GOP opponent for the presidency is now a convicted felon—a first in American history. The ad begins with somber, black-and-white pictures of former President Donald Trump in court flashing across the screen. “In the courtroom, we see Donald Trump for who he is,” a narrator explains.

The actual roadmap for 2024 might have moved when you were not looking. Maybe—and it’s a big maybe, admittedly—the biggest detour in politics right now is parked in the driveway.

  • Biden Campaign Calls Trump ‘Convicted Criminal’ in $50 Million Ad Blitz
    Time, Monday - 06/17/2024 - 12:45 PM

    President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is hoping to leverage Donald Trump’s recent criminal conviction in a bid to sway voters, debuting a new television advertisement on Monday that calls the presumptive Republican presidential nominee “a convicted criminal who’s only out for himself.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The ad, part of a $50 million investment that will air in battleground states in June, marks the Biden campaign’s first attempt using Trump’s legal woes in its advertising campaigns since the former President was convicted of falsifying business records to cover up an affair in his New York criminal trial last month.

  • Fox News Host: MSNBC Praising Biden Is Bad For Him
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 06/17/2024 - 12:18 PM

    Fox News host Harris Faulkner made a bizarre analogy favoring diminished Donald. She's upset that MSNBC contributors have praised President Biden and are unfriendly to Trump. Do you understand the Fox News/Harris Faulkner "logic"? Faulkner played a video mashup. MSNBC: This was a great week for the president. He's having these back-to-back weeks both the national stage and domestically. The president is playing chess, and the former president, at best, is playing like Hungry Hungry Hippo. Well, if that, maybe Uno.
