Judd Legum thread.
1. Trump says that if he returns to the White House, he will have the power to cancel any federal program — or an entire agency — by refusing to spend $ appropriated by Congress
A federal law prohibits this
But Trump says he will do it anyway
Here is how the scheme works:

If the replace Biden crowd gets their way, then Republicans win. Why? Because:
a.) GOP legislatures have made it impossible to replace primary candidates this late in the process.
b.) GOP "think tanks" (Heritage Foundation, et al.) have openly stated that they will tie up any attempt to replace Biden in the courts.
c.) This SCOTUS? It isn't ruling in Dems favor.
I seriously can't believe that we're still having this debate.
The president issued an executive order establishing the Cyber Safety Review Board in May 2021 and ordered it to start work by reviewing the SolarWinds attack.
But for reasons that experts say remain unclear, that never happened.
Nor did the board probe SolarWinds for its second report.
For its third, the board investigated a separate 2023 attack
The Cyber Safety Review Board missed an opportunity to prevent future attacks, experts say.

"To be clear, we have a lot more than eight Democrats who could beat the pants off of Mr. Trump."
Like fuck, you do, Gomer. There are so many of 'em, you didn't name one. All you said is that it can't be Harris unless she beats everyone else, "fair and square".
This guy's insane, and people act like he makes sense.

Biden tells Hill Democrats he 'declines' to step aside and says it's time for party drama 'to end'
~ Amen! Good going sir!

Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.
Trump told more than 30 lies during the debate. He dodged the CNN moderators’ questions, took no responsibility for his actions, and blamed others, mainly Biden, for everything that is wrong in the world.
I’m sorry I forgot the #politics but people need to understand that Heritage and Trump are on the same page: they will gaslight you and lie to your freaking face to make you NOT vote for Biden.
People should not buy their bill.
It’s wrong.
Pure rubbish.
The last three and one half years are marked by competence.
Jan 6th happened and it was not DEMOCRATS who stormed the Capitol.
Republicans want to rewrite history.
And the press is complicit.
Believe history.
It appears that #ABCNews just released the entire interview on their YouTube channel. Give this link a try.

What is Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is an initiative led by The Heritage Foundation and supported by over 100 conservative organizations. Its main goal is to prepare for a potential conservative administration beginning in 2025 by developing comprehensive policy proposals, training personnel, and creating a detailed action plan for the first 180 days in office
I am liking this Dem voting rights site a lot as a place for political news.
