Harris / Shapiro is a no brainer..

IMHO

BIden endorses Harris.

Continued:

"There are comparable accomplishments abroad which I don’t have time in this brief note to enumerate. I also believe Biden’s a deeply good man. And I don’t think the two verdicts are unrelated. Terrible that his political career ends with this dismal horrible three and a half weeks. But there’s time to see the larger arc of the story which remains a powerful one and a consistent one, and one that will need to be crafted and captured to find a campaign victory in November.

Josh Marshall writes:

I will just add a personal note here:
This breaks my heart, even as I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the right and really only path now possible for the country, for the Democratic party and for Biden’s legacy. Joe Biden has been an extraordinary President under the most difficult of circumstances, managing to pass multiple pieces of historic legislation with what amounts to a tie Congress.

Interesting tidbit about Crowdstrike:

It was the firm hired by the DNC in 2016 to invest the cyberhack phishing scheme into their systems by Russian intelligence that produced a daily email dump of propaganda conecting John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign manager as well as Clinton herself as being part of an international pedophile network, in an effort to make her politically toxic and get Trump elected PoTUS.

" Maybe the most telling element of the interview is who Kahn picked as his interlocutor: A shmoozy former Times media critic whose interview style is sycophantic.

You know what would be nice? If Kahn sat down for an interview with a truly independent journalist. Why is he avoiding that? What is he afraid of?"

"Biden’s age isn’t among voters’ top issues in polls, but the NY Times made it a recurring top story anyway Voters sure didn’t say they care about the president of Harvard, but the Times made that the number one story for days. When NYT editors care, they don’t defer to polls."

"Conceptualizing democracy as a kind of niche issue that a free press should only prioritize in coverage according to how many people rate its importance in a poll is a huge tell about why the NYTimes’s current election coverage has been so myopic, timid, and consistently unable to meet the moment."

- Journalist Reed Richardson
