The world of science lost a giant in the field of primatology today. Frans de Waal was a remarkable researcher and writer. I share this Big Think production that he was part of. RIP
Karla Jacinto, who appears to be at the center of Katie Britt's State of the Union anecdote about migrant sex trafficking during the GOP response to Biden's address speaks to CNN's Rafael Romo in an exclusive interview.
White House, campaign respond to backlash over Biden's 'illegal' comment - ABC News https://apple.news/AUsn9GWMNR-ebYGFHqbgp6g
Literally no one else cares. This is the MSM trying to split hairs over a comment made that is a big nothing.

Whoever they polled are massively mistaken on both questions. Trump will be the Republican nominee, regardless of his legal troubles, and Biden will be the Democratic, regardless of the msm’s ageist prejudice.
Democrats Might Need a Plan B. Here’s What It Looks Like. - POLITICO https://apple.news/AuM4gCrpHTMuTpqqsLo_crQ
Oh brother. This is literally not going to happen and the Hur report is going to be ancient history come November. The political press and msm having been doing all sorts of mental gymnastics and they’re left with really nothing when their reportage doesn’t work. Biden will be the nominee and he will be re-elected.
Biden mishandled documents, but no criminal charges, US special counsel says - Reuters https://apple.news/A3aj2SpfsSveXX1n5nAjWiQ
As usual the AP has gotten the title wrong. He didn’t mishandle documents, if you read the article while he was VP he had the right to take them to his home. That’s why Hur isn’t charging him and Hur makes it quite clear even if Biden wasn’t President he wouldn’t charge him anyway.
President Joe Biden will not face criminal charges for taking classified information about national security matters with him when he left the vice presidency in 2017, a U.S. prosecutor said in a report released on Thursday.
Joe Manchin could upend Biden’s reelection campaign – and blow up No Labels along the way - CNN https://apple.news/Ak25ZJtgMRx6-xw44235nmw
I don’t think Manchin is as much as a threat as the political press has made him out to be. Typically third party campaigns are popular on the Far Left and Far Right and I really don’t see any members of the Sunrise Movement rushing to support Manchin.
In the end I think Biden will win a second term with a pretty wide margin.
In public, Sen. Joe Manchin says he believes there’s a role for him as a national icon in the “fiscally responsible and socially compassionate” middle, comparable with the role Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders plays for the progressive left.
