"Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter." https://www.salon.com/2023/06/28/ex-aide-john-kelly-was-disgusted-as-wondered-what-it-might-be-like-to-have-with-ivanka/

“Paul Manafort, the longtime Republican strategist and chairman of Trump’s 2016 campaign, who had assumed unpaid role advising party officials on the nominating convention, has stepped aside.

Manafort’s move came after NYT reported that he had been on the ground in Milwaukee last week for planning meetings for the convention, as well as a Washington Post story that said he was involved in work connected to foreign officials and businesses.”

Pagliery:

Trump is sitting at the defense table, with Todd Blanche at his right and Emil Bove at his left, plus Susan Necheles at the far left.

Blanche is explaining something, waving his right hand around while Trump nods in approval.

Dozens called for jury duty are downstairs and going through metal detectors.

The judge just sat down. We begin.

Corporations say they were forced to raise prices because of higher costs.

But their profits have skyrocketed since 2020.

They hit a record high of $2.8 trillion in Q4 2023.

News flash: They used inflation as cover to get rich.

It is telling that conservatives describe my efforts to protect voting rights in court as "lawfare" yet cheer on the cases the RNC is filing to purge voters from the rolls.

Jim Jordan indicated last month that he was happy to move from the impeachment inquiry to the Hur report, understandably. As it turns out, Hur's Biden interview undercuts the Comer-Jordan impeachment effort pretty robustly.

System-wide failure

Sparked by the recent Supreme Court decisions that basically guarantee Trump will escape serious legal consequences before the election, I reflect on the institutional failure and/or unwillingness to mount an effective defense.

@tzimmer_history The thing that amazes me is that is a coward. Whenever someone stands up to him he caves or backs down. He's just a weak man with a loud mouth.

Just one example:

While Wendy’s plans to price gouge you with Uber-style surge pricing, it’s simultaneously enriching wealthy shareholders with a $500 million stock buyback program.

That’s the thing about corporate greed: It’s shameless.

They’ll just keep pushing to see how far they can go.

@rbreich I just saw somewhere they changed their mind after the outcry. But the fact that they were going to do it says a lot.

Weekend reading: I wrote about the blind spots of the “Biden too old” discourse. What do those who describe Biden as manifestly unfit have to offer in terms of substantive arguments?

A thread, based on the piece below – and some thoughts on the latest intervention by Ezra Klein:

@tzimmer_history Biden is too old? But this guy isn't? The U.S. MSM is so ... can't even think of a proper word or phrase to describe how awful they are.
