Even after MSM DC insiders last week did a mix of a mea culpa, or rather, more, a tua culpa of finding other members of their tribe at fault for not reporting more in Dementia Joe's health, Philly broadcast media reporters admitted asking Joe Biden questions that his own staff submitted to them.

Congresscritter Lloyd Doggett calls on Biden to withdraw. Will THIS finally lead Kuff to write ANYthing about Biden's debate clusterfuck? Nahh.

Looking at that burning national political issue, SocraticGadfly first notes that the Philadelphia Inquirer blew it with its one-party presidential withdrawal editorial, then turned a gimlet eye on DC media insiders pointing fingers at each other over not reporting more, earlier, about Biden's health, then finished by noting that dueling insider leaks of "he's stepping down / no he's not"were reminiscent of Noam Chomsky being dead/not, two weeks earlier, as new manifestations of Schrödinger's Cat. Kuff, harder for you to hide!

Texas drivers do suck.
The Observer talks about how Texans for Lawsuit Reform, which helped the state GOP pivot hard right, is now in the crosshairs of the harder right. That's even as wingnut trial lawyers have stretched civil litigation into strange new forms. Part of the problem? TLR supported Kenny Boy's primary challenger in 2022.
