[This is HUGE. Or as #Biden would say it’s a BFD.]

The announcement would mark a major shift for Biden, a former chair of the Senate #Judiciary Cmte, who has long resisted calls to #reform #SCOTUS. They potential changes come in response to growing outrage among his supporters about recent #ethics scandals surrounding Justice #ClarenceThomas & decisions by the new court majority that have changed #legal precedent on issues including #abortion & federal #regulatory powers.

#Biden previewed the shift in a Zoom call Sat w/the Congressional #Progressive Caucus.

“I’m going to need your help on the #SupremeCourt, because I’m about to come out — I don’t want to prematurely announce it — but I’m about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the #court … I’ve been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, & I need some help,” #POTUS said, according to a transcript of the call obtained by The Washington Post.

More from #POTUS’ “Black jobs” arc re MVP #KamalaHarris:
“She’s not only a great vice president, she could be president of the United States!”

Other great #Biden lines:

“Truman said you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Guess what? After the last couple of weeks, I know what he means.”

“Sandy Hook & Uvalde, concert goers in Las Vegas. You're going to be outspoken on one, don’t be silent on others.” #GunControl

#POTUS #Biden:

“Let me say this again, because #Trump is lying like hell about it. Black #unemployment hit a record low under the #BidenHarris administration”

“We’re going to end #medical #debt… I'm working with states to wipe out #MedicalDebt for pennies on the dollar.”

“I have been young, & now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken.”

This interview with #DonaldTrump focuses on business, trade & politics.

One interesting tidbit:

“As many as 20% of Black men now back Trump, though some pundits think those numbers are overstated.”

↗️ Based on my anecdotal observations (amongst family & friends), it is between 10%-15%.

Most of my family & friends loathe #JoeBiden, but they will vote for #Biden again.

Washington Times is a neofascist rag; but it's important to read the rationalizations DC think tanks are paid to come up with, by the oligarchy, to manufacture consent. those rationalizations are worked out in marginal blogs and publications like The Washington Times first before being spread, like a virus, across corporate media.
