I’m a random person but my understanding was that legally the funds belong to the Biden/Harris campaign, now owned by Harris. I think moving that money between campaign funds is not permitted. Maybe some unprecedented swap where Harris remains VP would work.
Edit: i actually researched this, LegalEagle has a good video on it.
In short donations to DNC are safe, but the campaign committee for B/H would need to go into a super PAC and would face litigation risks
He knows Trump will win, it’s a safe bet to win some favor.
Biden could, according to SCOTUS.
The actual video for your own judgement:

I’m not shocked an old man missed a prompt to speak in a low stakes phone call. Mid-sentence in a high-stakes optics-focused debate is the bigger gaffe, but equally normal for an old man.
Most people don’t have a political education nor do they follow political news. They vote based in vibes and a knee-jerk reaction to the party in power. You can launder a lot of self-destructive behavior in that recipe.
Its almost like the other democrats haven’t been running for office and building name recognition. I wonder why OH YEAH, DNC thought a democratic process was too divisive and would make their octogenarian look bad. Based on the debate, they sure were right! Their candidate cant take 3 steps away from a teleprompter.
Polls are meant to be moved, any of those other candidates would be in a better position than Biden within a few months.
I hope this works out. Local news media outside of huge cities is 3 nextdoor posts in a trenchcoat.
Uncritical copaganda from NYT again. These changes are…fine, but don’t get at the inherent risks of police surveillance and biometrics.
Definitely tea party roots, libertarians have been against it for ages.
Reagan really kicked is off on the trajectory of privatization, trusting corporations to bed good stewards of the people. It was a steady trajectory really kicked in to high gear with the recession since blood was on the water
Now the right hates any part of the government that doesn’t hold a gun, and would rather drink poison than impede corporate profits.
Unfortunately the question isn’t whether to fire him, but if he can win an election appearing as a sickly confused old man.
He spit in the face of an energized lefty base, so he is gambling the future of the country on low information Pennsylvanian voters in a popularity contest.
And half a dozen months ago they could have had a ceasefire to have them released, along with the ones that STILL aren’t released.
Fun fact, it was quite common for people to live into their 80s in the past. The shorter life expectancy myth (1) comes with averaging age of death infant mortality, which was far higher and (2) the drop in life expectancy during industrialization.
A few thousand years ago we had a similar life expectancy and worked far less. There are other tradeoffs of course.
You can be organized without a state. Typically nicer, in fact.
We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.
Is it war when one group is wholly reliant on another for access to food, water, communication, electricity and other forms of aid?
It’s ridiculous to call this a war when there’s such a dependency. Israel wants Palestinians in gaza over the southern border or dead, an ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Not to mention the West Bank, which is not controlled by Hamas, being a center of settler violence and concentration camps for Palestinians.
Some war.
He really finds lovely configurations for the deck chairs on the Titanic.
These payments are flashy, but do nothing to remedy the current predatory student loan system or the rising costs of academia.
I’ll add that id highly recommend making a backup before doing anything. You can more safely try out linux in a virtual machine as well
I found the game addictive enough i wasn’t counting but am surprised it was that many! I kept doing runs long after too.
I think it’s more helpful to see Trump, Putin, whoever as the logical results of oligarchy, rather than 4 dimensional chess of Russia. Capital like strong men who defend the interest of capital, and don’t like democracy because they aren’t popular with the majority.
The value of holding av real primary. Sadly that boat sailed. Having delegates hand pick a candidate without any voter input opens the process to undue influence from party politics.
Kamala was at least chosen by the people as a VP. Can’t say the same for most of the randos throwing their hat in
