The work done on it has been fascinating. You'd think if it were simple hysteria there would be outbreaks among the civilian population, but it's always government employees.
It's actually lower than 10%. I had always commonly heard 10% and was shocked to learn that it's more like 4.5%.

He CAN win Michigan, he won't at this rate, but he still CAN. He just has to make a lot of changes that a) he doesn't feel are necessary and b) isn't wiling to do.
Like admit the economy sucks for a lot of Americans.
I got polled yesterday and was asked to write a winning line for Biden:
"In 2020, under President Trump, you didn't know where your next roll of toilet paper was coming from! People were scalping it out of the backs of their cars in grocery store parking lots! You want to go back to that?"

I have friends who try to convince me to sing, I always tell them "Look, there's only one song I can do and I guarantee they don't have it..."
"Come on man, they have thousands of songs, they have to have it..."
"Fine, if they have it, I'll do it. Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs."
And man, they'll run and look for that song... then they argue...
"I don't think it's a real song!"
"I know it is! I've heard of it!"
The song:
While Havana Syndrome is real, to my knowledge it's not that refined. It should have impacted everyone in the room, Trump and the moderators included.
The known reports of the syndrome occupied entire floors of buildings. The idea that someone could use it and just target one guy is a little out there.

As of right now:

So, really, bad news for Biden across the board except for New Mexico which is just freshly getting polling data.
That's the thing though, with the Republicans in charge there will NEVER be a vote on this. They won't allow it.
She's just grandstanding.
Impeachment starts in the House of Representatives, which is controlled by Republicans.
It goes to the Senate for conviction and removal, which, thanks to the Republican minority, requires a 60 vote majority to move anything forward.
This is why I've been saying since the Trump impeachments, we have to control the House and the Senate first, then we can talk impeachment.
House - 219 Republicans, 213 Democrats, 3 vacancies.

Then maybe she shouldn't have retired?
I'm not under any illusion that I'm going to retire, there's actually a pretty good chance I'll be dead before hitting that age.
Sounds like an excuse to remove all the rest of the content they haven't already removed.
No thanks.

The decision, called for by city Commissioner Rene Gonzalez, comes as Portland officials vote on an agreement with the county on their partnership to reduce homelessness.
"The decision, first reported by KGW, comes as Portland officials vote on an agreement with Multnomah County on their partnership to reduce homelessness. Portland Commissioner Rene Gonzalez, who is running for mayor, has blasted the county for its policy on tarps and tents, arguing that their distribution harms the city’s “livability and the ability for small businesses to thrive.”"
Here we go, the first Presidential debate between Biden and Trump begins at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific.
How to watch it:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/politics/how-to-watch-cnn-debate/index.html
"The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.
You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."
"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.
Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."
Edit And that's it! Thanks for watching everyone!
tl;dw:
Consensus is Trump didn't so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.
The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.

Erv Lind Field was Oregon’s first and only sports facility built primarily for women’s major league sports.
“It’s hard to find a word to describe the severity of the allegations here,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Youlee Yim You said. “I’ll just leave it at that.”
The city will narrowly focus enforcement at first on homeless camps that it believes present the greatest health and safety risks.
"The new rules require people who are offered shelter to accept it or face penalties, and it directs homeless individuals that they must keep their camping area tidy if they can’t access shelter. The ordinance scales back the potential of a 30-day stint behind bars for violators to just seven days and emphasizes a preference to offer offenders diversion."
"Officers will focus primarily on expired tags, missing plates, wrong-way parking, and vehicles blocking visibility at intersections. Additionally, officers will begin booting vehicles that have orders to tow issued by Multnomah County Circuit Court."

"Recent data from the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) shows an alarming number of Portland vehicle owners have let their registration lapse. A couple years ago this may have been exacerbated due to the pandemic, DMV delays, or the economy, but these factors are much less impactful today."
