Maddow: "The Biden economy is literally the envy of the world."

Yes, who wouldn't envy an economy where someone can make $30 million+ a year to work one night a week telling TV audiences that their economy is literally the envy of the world?

@MSNBC

Rachel Maddow reacts to President Biden withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race.

"What a man. What a patriot. What an act of selfless devotion to your country."

NYT admits that Mueller found “no evidence” of Trump-Russia collusion. That’s because it was as big of a scam as “Russian interference.” But it will take decades, if not centuries, before the NYT ever admits that one.

@ggreenwald

A senior state court judge refused to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by Trump against the Pulitzer Board.

The Board gave Pulitzers to NYT and WPost for their repeated echoing of the Russiagate fraud.

[Image, description below]

The ruling on Saturday by Robert Pegg, a senior judge on a circuit court in Florida, means that Mr. Trump's case will proceed, opening the door to a discovery phase that may allow Mr. Trump's lawyers to question Pulitzer officials, who issue the most prestigious prizes in journalism.

The case hinges on a statement made in 2022 by the panel reaffirming its decision to award the national reporting prize in 2018 to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Russian ties to the Trump campaign.

After the prize was awarded, a special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, investigating the Russian interference allegations, said he could find no evidence that Mr. Trump or his aides had coordinated with the interference effort.

Bernie praises the “honor and dignity” of the chief sponsor of Israel’s Gaza mass murder campaign.

His stated reason? Biden did a one-day campaign photo op on a picket line.

@BernieSanders

Joe Biden has served our country with honor and dignity.

As the first president to ever walk on a picket line with striking workers, he has been the most pro-working class president in modern American history.

Thank you, Mr. President, for all you’ve done.

If we valued human life, he would have been forced out for enabling Israel’s mass murder and starvation campaign in Gaza. Not to mention provoking and prolonging a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine that’s cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

But we only value money. And his monied faction decided that he was no longer a reliable investment.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN, JR.

July 21, 2024

My Fellow Americans,

Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation.

Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We've made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We've provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years. Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We've protected and preserved our Democracy. And we've revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.

I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.

For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.

I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can't do - when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.

Joe Biden [Signature]

Independent news and investigative journalism on politics and empire.

Pushback with Aaron Maté is an independent media show hosted by Aaron Maté and presented by The Grayzone.

Pushback with Aaron Maté

The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal discusses his reporting trip to Damascus in the aftermath of Syria's proxy war. He interviewed residents who were caught between Western and Gulf-backed extremist insurgents and the Syrian government’s war to retake territory, and who now struggle to recover under a US-led economic blockade.

"They want to attack and intimidate people from the West who want to have cultural and personal contact with Syrians in the area where most Syrians live," Blumenthal says. "I went there and I took that opportunity to have contact with them because I’ll take any reasonable opportunity to break the media blockade in countries targeted with regime change, and to show my fellow citizens what’s on the other side of the corporate media and the US national security state’s information war."

Guest: Max Blumenthal, Editor of The Grayzone and author of "The Management of Savagery."

@aaronjmate

US establishment media — namely NYT, WSJ, and CNN’s @jaketapper — laundered Israeli/US lies about Al-Shifa being used as a Hamas command post. Their stenography abetted Israel’s destruction of Al-Shifa and the kidnapping, torture, and even murder of its doctors. They will of course offer no retractions or apologies. https://x.com/aaronjmate/status/1737917331622314482?s=46

@ori_goldberg

2/ IDF and Shin Bet don't release a-n-y-o-n-e unless they absolutely have to because not even the most trumped up charges will stick. The director's release proves conclusively that the entire campaign around the destruction of Shifa was a barefaced lie. --->

@brokenmirror33

The day before the massive IDF military raid and massacre at Al-Shifa, Tapper published a cnn website article that provided cover. Listen also to this interview he did with the Chair of House Foreign Affairs Cmte. just days prior. “Al-Shifa is a military base used by Hamas”

@HouseForeignGOP

Yesterday, CHM @RepMcCaul and @jaketapper discussed Al Shifa hospital and Hamas terrorists hiding behind human shields, as well as #Israel's efforts to save civilian lives ⬇️

@MaxBlumenthal

Abu Salmiya was tortured, but ultimately released, because the Israeli narrative about Al-Shifa Hospital as a Hamas command & control center was a fraud

Fortunately, he was not held at the Sde Teiman concentration camp, where prominent Gaza doctors Adnan Bursh & Iyad Rantisi were tortured to death

Though Abu Salmiya committed no crime, Israeli politicians are calling for his head, and demanding the firing of the Shin Bet director who ordered his release. No doctor can cure Israel's societal sickness.

@QudsNen

Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, the director of Al-Shifa Hospital, holds a press conference together with a group of medical doctors upon their release from the infamous Israeli detention camps.

@aaronjmate

Right before it invaded Ukraine, Russia proposed a peace treaty centered on Ukraine not joining NATO. The US refused to even discuss it, citing NATO's "open door" policy.

Right after Russia invaded, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators drafted a peace deal centered on Ukraine not joining NATO. The US and allies sabotaged it.

Hundreds of thousands of dead later, Ukraine now gets told that it's too corrupt to join NATO anytime soon. The US has dangled NATO membership to use Ukraine to bait and bleed Russia. The "open door" is simply a back-door to fight Russia:

@Telegraph

🇺🇦 Ukraine to be told it is too corrupt to join Nato

Pushback with Aaron Maté

Hillary Clinton has smeared Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein as Russian assets, and almost no Democratic politicians are pushing back. Max Blumenthal says that Clinton's comments reflect a continued effort by Democratic neo-liberals to deflect responsibility for their loss to Trump in 2016; marginalize voices like Gabbard and Stein's who challenge their pro-war, corporatist agenda; and preview their potential future attacks on Bernie Sanders.
