Lowry: Biden prepares his next basement campaign

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:57 GMT

Joe Biden is going to run for reelection.One question this raises: How is anyone going to tell?The basement presidency is about to embark on another basement campaign.Biden’s political genius turns out to be not provoking strong negative emotions because no one particularly thinks of him as being in charge or as having anything interesting to say.President Biden and the people around him are, in effect, conducting a large-scale, ongoing political science experiment: Is it possible to run a left-wing government — with tactics often frankly at odds with our constitutional system — and avoid a massive backlash by having a president at the top who appears ineffectual and out of touch?If Bernie Sanders, the ill-kempt, self-avowed socialist, or Elizabeth Warren, the off-putting, dyed-in-the-wool progressive former academic, presided over exactly the same administration with exactly the same policies, they’d have ignited a political firestorm by now.The cry from the...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:57 GMT

One has to go back a while to find a worse start to a Chicago White Sox season.As in 1986.The Sox dropped their sixth straight game Tuesday, getting blanked by the Toronto Blue Jays 7-0 in front of 28,917 at Rogers Centre.The Sox are 10 games under .500. At 7-17, they’ve matched their start in 1986.“It hurts to lose a major-league game,” manager Pedro Grifol said. “It hurts to lose six in a row. It hurts. There’s a lot of care in here. People care about winning.“We’ve just got to work. We’ve got to continue to work. We can’t let this thing break us and it won’t.”The loss guaranteed the Sox won’t win the series. They are 0-7-1 in series this season.Tuesday’s game began to slip away in the second. Sox starter Mike Clevinger walked the first two batters. With one out, Danny Jansen hit a three-run homer.“Got excited after the first inning, felt I was getting back to where I was pre-Tommy John,” Cle...

Graham: Carlson’s Fox exit could liberate Trump challengers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:57 GMT

When Donald Trump, the GOP’s presidential frontrunner, gave his first post-indictment interview, it was to Tucker Carlson on Fox News.When Vivek Ramaswamy announced his candidacy earlier this year, it was on Tucker’s show.And when Russia invaded Ukraine, support for arming Kyiv against Putin’s assault was the same among Republicans and Democrats. Then Carlson began speaking out against Ukraine and America’s support for the Zelensky government. “I don’t care what Putin does in Ukraine,” Carlson said.After a year of Carlson’s messaging, Republican support for backing Ukraine has plunged.Monday’s news that Fox News dropped Carlson in the wake of a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems is technically a media story. But because of the 53-year-old TV host’s influence on the GOP base, it is as much a story about politics as it is about ratings.In the big picture, Carlson’s reach via Fox was relatively small. While he had the top-rated cable news show — indeed, he holds the...

By AMY BETH HANSON and SAM METZ (Associated Press)HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana Republican leaders will vote Wednesday on censuring or expelling lawmaker Zooey Zephyr, a transgender state representative who has been silenced in the House since last week after telling colleagues that if they voted for a bill to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender children they would “have blood on their hands.”On Tuesday night, Zephyr tweeted a letter she received from House leaders informing her of the plan to consider disciplinary action against her during Wednesday’s session. “I’ve also been told I’ll get a chance to speak,” Zephyr tweeted. “I will do as I have always done — rise on behalf of my constituents, in defense of my community and for democracy itself.”Montana’s House speaker canceled Tuesday’s floor session without explanation, the latest development in a standoff over whether Montana Republicans w...
