Josh Marshall shares that the news from the French elections is "shockingly good" for those of us who have been alarmed at the precipitous rise of the hard right in Europe.

Many commentators expected Marine Le Pen's party to get a plurality of seats, but in fact it's coming in third not only behind the consolidated parties of the left forming the new United Front, but also behind Macron’s centrist party.

Just had another post removed. And AGAIN, it was a post quoting Trump. I appealed it, of course, and like always, I'll never hear a single word in response.

Funny how Zuckerberg and @mosseri think Trump's own words are a violation of their rules regarding hate speech and/or bullying and harassment, but somehow Trump being PRESIDENT is okay.

Looks like the left coalition held together and #France dodged a fascist bullet. Some rare good news, although the trend remains troubling.

Even better answer:

The time to replace Biden as candidate was in the primaries.

It went on for months. Everyone knew he was old and slow. 14 Million voted. Biden consistently got 80-90% of the primary votes.

There's no real pushback from the Dem electorate. In more than a week, there are no "stand down" rallies or meaningful public pushback from Dem politicians.

This is a media creation to sell papers and scare off "independent" voters.

Listening to Lights On with Jessica Denson (Trump NDA Killer Denson Delivers FATAL MESSAGE to Trump): https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/537745/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1058/traffic.megaphone.fm/MTH6140037302.mp3?updated=1720226494

Former Trump aide Jessica Denson calls on Donald J. Trump to drop out of the race, setting straight the narrative in a week of unhinged media gaslighting on President Biden’s fitness for office, when the Supreme Court’s upending of nearly 250 years of freedom from a felon should be the story of the century.

@dogzilla @georgebaily @shoq There's zero time for half measures. The ship needs to be turned around now. This is your message: An elder statesman leading a young dynamic administration that's brought you full employment against a dangerous convicted Felon that wrecked the economy.
That's the spin. There's no room or time for navel gazing. Democracy is at stake.

More Russian stuff blowing up. More than 1,100 Russian soldiers lost. Also, Putin, aided and abetted by his enabler Orban of #Hungary, is talking about a "final solution" to #Ukraine. Says Ukraine must surrender before talks can begin. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/7/5/2251537/-Ukraine-Invasion-Day-864-Putin-again-rejects-ceasefire-negotiations-shifting-onus?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

If the mainstream media spent half as much time scrutinizing Donald Trump’s bromance with Jeffery Epstein as they are on Biden’s bad debate, America wouldn’t be teetering on the abyss of becoming a fascist theocratic oligarchy right now.

"The failure of the media to confront Trump the way that they are confronting Biden now is dangerous malpractice of the highest order. ...

So I ask: When will there be a real interview of Trump?"

July 6, 2020 – International students enrolled in online classes in the fall — due to the pandemic — would have to leave the US, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced.

ICE said that foreign students who do not take any in-person courses could risk “immigration consequences including, but not limited to, the initiation of removal proceedings.”

Donald Trump was for the Project 2025 agenda before he was against it. The ads that the #Biden campaign is running about it are getting under his skin. https://www.alternet.org/experts-trump-project-2025/

Biden: "By the way, if you wondered whether Trump has it all together, did you ever hear how explained the 4th of July? ... He said, 'George Washington's army won the revolution by taking control of the airports from the British.' Talk about me misspeaking!" (3/5)

BREAKING: Donald Trump claims he has never heard of the people behind Project 2025. We have found multiple instances of Trump praising its architect, Kevin Roberts, by name.
