In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023.
I'll have more details this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/kuZNqoMe4I

Thursday Morning Open Thread: Fabulous Joe Biden!Post + Comments (195)
Let's be clear: A lot of Republicans think that because Mitt Romney was "respectable," that Democrats owed him the Presidency and they were furious that the black guy had the nerve to actually campaign against him and win an election.
This is who you always were. https://t.co/KjlDgaJXqL

Y’all may remember, I am a charter member of the ‘Not A Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney Fan’ organization, but many people are saying this. Many people!
Mitt Romney made workers build him a stage he used to fire them all. He was a vulture capitalist masquerading as a GOP moderate. He politicized Benghazi while the embassy fires were still burning and then smiled as he walked away. How in the fuck were we supposed to treat him? https://t.co/zritHtsG3W

It’s been a busy few weeks politically, but the Media Village Idiots always have a spare chaos agent available for attempts to poison the well, tee up a Dems in disarray!!! story, maybe spark a fire that will discourage Black voters before the all-important midterms. ‘Slate pitches‘, remember them? Scott Bixby does…
Okay so the @scottbix article about Kamala Harris supporters is just as bad as people are saying. Another tone-deaf smear by white male media to paint a predominantly minority political identify as rabid against the backdrop of Republicans threatening violence against the FBI.🧵

hasn’t sunk into the boot lamprey pundit class that they’re no longer out there fighting in the narrative sphere where there are no rules and saying the dumbest shit can win anyway

… as they begin to suspect that TFG is no longer their Grift Gift That Keeps on Giving. They’re having a really hard time giving up on their favorite political subject, squirming to find some excuse (however thin) for the latest torrent of criminal exposures.
Nobody wants to be first — or last — off the TFG gravy train! It’s genuinely traumatic for them. But Maggie Haberman is the Queen Lamprey, and if she’s beginning to waver…
Just asked a former senior administration official who would be in a position to know about such a thing and they had absolutely no idea what this report is talking about https://t.co/ucEXaHdblg

Repub Enablers Open Thread: The ‘Boot Lamprey Pundit Class’ Is Very NervousPost + Comments (119)
what money buys is a legion of bloggers & pundits & tv guests who’ve made a lucrative industry out of cooking up ways to support crazy shit by pretending to be against some imaginary even crazier shit somebody else wants to do. money buys giving the normals an excuse to be nuts

Josh Marshall is willing to be kinder — I think he makes an excellent argument here:
A lot of the energy behind the "cynical Dems behind MAGA crazies" storyline is driven by pundits who feel very, very off balance needing to say constantly that the GOP is now a sectarian revanchist party thats a threat to democracy over&over because it remains true. Again & gain.
