Bernie Sanders Lets Loose on the Democratic Party, the Midterms and 2028 - POLITICO

Sanders’ operation has reached out to hundreds of would-be candidates and put them through a kind of political boot camp. “How do I run for office? How do I run for state legislature? What is a press release? How do I raise money? Kind of basics, politics 101,” Sanders said. “A lot of those folks are now getting their feet wet. Many of them are winning. And in a few years, you’re going to be hearing from them as they run for Congress or Senate or whatever.”

 So, I ask him, it’s a bench, built to ensure the movement continues beyond his own career? “

Well, that’s exactly it,” Sanders said…

AI slopper in chief: Trump turns to social media amid tough questions

“I think part of the reason he’s posting it is because it ties in with this deeper sentiment that he has that he is on par with, or even potentially better than, George Washington,” said Angelo Carusone, president and CEO of Media Matters, a non-profit media watchdog organization. 

“He’s trying to basically be a founder,” added Carusone. “And AI gives him the ability to project his imagination out into the world.”… 

“Every day in Washington DC the city changes and gets more Trump-branded,” Carusone said. “That is the analog to Washington: there are all these things named after him, but that happened posthumously. With Trump, it’s almost like he’s building a living mausoleum.”…

Biden calls Trump tariff approach 'a major mistake' - ABC News

Speaking of his own administration's actions, Biden touted its work in bringing manufacturing back to the United States, boosting production of semiconductor chips, lowering health care costs and making major investments in infrastructure. 

Biden also praised his team's work to get inflation under control and raise wages, though he did acknowledge that "too many working- and middle-class families struggle with high prices for housing and groceries and daily needs of life," and he pointed to the pandemic and the war in Ukraine for driving up inflation. 

Biden asked for his record to be compared to Trump's at the end of his successor's term…

Opinion | Biden’s lasting legacy might be in private-sector investment - The Washington Post

"If you want an economic vision that inures most directly to the benefit of working and middle-class Americans, the Democrats' approach has unquestionably been superior. The proof will come in a few months, when Trump and his MAGA sycophants begin touting the very same economy they now disparage. Just remember that the massive growth, job creation and international advantages — including new infrastructure, manufacturing plants and jobs dotting red America — are the result of an agenda most Republicans — especially the MAGA set — railed against..."

Rush Limbaugh Has Died. He Leaves a Legacy of Misinformation | Time

...Politifact, the fact-checking website, has analyzed about 50 of Limbaugh's higher profile controversial statements and labeled the majority of them "mostly false," "false" or "pants on fire." Recent examples include his assertions that House Democrats' impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump "doesn't feature the opposition party, it doesn't feature cross examination," that Joe Biden's Democratic Convention speech "had to be taped in segments, and the segments had to be edited together," and that "the coronavirus is the common cold."...

Pat Toomey: Trump legacy may be 'chaos and misery' without relief bill

"That was his person at the table. They came to an agreement. I mean, none of us totally like the bill. It's the nature of legislating. You're not going to end up with anything perfect," Kinzinger told CNN. "I don't understand what's being done, unless it's just to create chaos, and show power, and be upset because you lost the election. Otherwise, I don't understand it, because this just has to get done."

Opinion | Trump saved the worst for last - The Washington Post

... He has purged the senior leadership of the Pentagon and installed conspiracy-mongering loyalists in their place. He has fired a senior cybersecurity official, Christopher Krebs, for attesting that the election was free of fraud. He unloaded on Attorney General William P. Barr for not doing more to politicize his department, leading to Barr's departure. He has pulled U.S. troops out of Somalia just as a new al-Shabab plot to attack the United States was uncovered...
