Biden's letter announcing he will not run for reelection again doesn't have the presidential seal on it because announcing you aren't running for reelection is a *campaign* announcement.
Even Nixon’s resignation letter had the Presidential seal on it.
Why doesn’t Biden’s?
Why’s the signature different than all of his previous letters ever signed?
Why is Biden’s schedule empty?
Something strange is going on here.
This wasn’t Biden’s choice whatsoever.

Waving off Trump's transfer of power comments because "of course he's not going to try for a coup" heroically misses the point. The danger isn't that he's going to, like, barricade himself in the Oval Office. It's that he's priming his base to reject any loss as illegitimate.

The committee counsel asking Lewandowski questions catches him in lies regarding public statements he made about his role in the Mueller investigation. Lewandowski replies by saying, sarcastically, "No one in Congress has ever lied to the public."

One of the most striking moments of Tim Alberta's book: Cruz begging Kasich to drop out, Kasich insisting he was going all the way, then Kasich dropping out one second after Cruz did
I remember in 2016 when Kasich stood in this very spot and the two options were Trump or Rubio/Cruz.
Kasich chose options 3 - just staying in that spot, making sure Rubio or Cruz couldn't win and guaranteeing no one could stop Trump.
Kasich helped Trump as much as anyone in 16.

A striking thing about Nikki Haley: Usually a campaign that's plainly on its last legs starts to get all its dirty laundry aired, with staffers settling scores before they stop being relevant. None of that so far from Team Haley—everybody still rowing in the same direction.
