New #Biden Administration Rules Aim to Hold Insurers Accountable for #MentalHealth Care Coverage
==
The regulations will force health insurance plans to collect and report more data on how they limit and deny mental health claims. ProPublicaâs reporting has found that insurers regularly shortchange patients seeking treatment.

"Nothing says women refuse to accept second-class citizenship like electing one. I have no doubt she can do it, and I look forward to watching the support she receives from Hillary Clinton, her sorors, and pretty much everyone in America who loves democracy. We have work to do!"

"And as one of my friends pointed out, this means that so many of Trumpâs 'arguments' are gone in one fell swoop: President Bidenâs age, Hunter Biden, the whole 'Biden crime family' corruption allegations. All out the door.
This is the poetic justice the country has been looking for and richly deserves: A highly qualified, talented Black woman, a former prosecutor, will be the one to take down Donald Trump."

"For three and a half years, she has been the person the national-security apparatus would turn to if anything happened to the president. Sheâs become stronger and stronger as a public figure.

For the Good of the Country
President Joe Biden makes the difficult decision to withdraw from the raceSteven Beschloss (America, America)
"Bidenâs decision has given the Democratic Party a window of narrative dominance. Itâs the biggest story in politics, and most Americans will come to understand its significance on Democratic termsâthat Biden did something fundamentally patriotic, when he realized his campaign, under his direction as an 81 year old man, had created an intolerable risk of allowing Donald Trump to become president again."

Joe Biden Has Given America A Fighting Chance
That fight, against spooked and dissembling Republicans, needs to begin nowBrian Beutler (Off Message)
"Speaking of Black women, Kamala Harris should be fully unleashed now as President Biden finishes his term. She is the best one to prosecute the case against Trump and MAGAâs extremist Project 2025 agenda. Biden can govern but he canât articulate the case in public as well as Harris, so let her do it, especially when it comes to GOPâs kryptonite: abortion and womenâs rights. Trump and the GOP canât run away from their misogyny and cruelty."

"Democrats should lean on and reward Black leaders who have been the most loyal and staunch supporters of the Biden-Harris ticket. The Congressional Black Caucus, minus one individual, stayed united and steadfast in promoting the Biden-Harris ticket, and now theyâre fully behind Harris. Black voters, especially Black women, are the strongest base of the Democratic Party."

"Even if she takes the nomination by acclamation, we will know much more about the prospects of an institutional defense against Trump by whether the media that once pushed Biden from the race now finds reason to dislike Harris, or to suggest she is an unworthy of a position she has spent the last four years preparing for."

POV: A Rural Democrat on Biden's Announcement
I wrote a long piece on gardening and religion this morning and published it right before Joeâs newsâŠbad timing. I wonât keep you long here except to say, as a rural Democratic activist, Iâm pissed, but Iâm in it to win it.Jess Piper (The View from Rural Missouri by Jess Piper)
"Itâs too much time to waste, when the party needs to unify now and get on with the urgent business of running Donald Trump and his gaggle of discontents and fellow criminals into the river.
Joe Biden has taken the step so many have urged on him. We should thank him and unite, move forward, fight as a team and beat Trump."

"Donald Trump and Chris LaCivita are about to hit Kamala Harris with an avalanche of racist and sexist attacks and a ton of slut-shaming. Democrats across the board need to be saying now what we all know, which is that this will bring out the very worst of Trump. Racism and sexism are his brand. Charlottesville is his brand."

Do Democrats have enough time to find a different path to victory?
It's actually not an unusual concept.
Until 1968, presidential candidates were always picked by party conventions.
And that process, though providing less public input, also produced some great nominees.

Until 1968, presidential candidates were picked by party conventions â a process revived by Bidenâs withdrawal from race
With President Joe Biden out of the presidential race, the Democratic Party will have to find another nominee. Past methods of choosing have had their flaws, but also their successes.The Conversation
Look, I've had numerous (well documented) complaints about the Biden administration and the fact that I don't think its liberal, incrementalist policies go nearly far enough in the face of a fascist project to control every aspect of our society, backed by corporate power. With that having been said however, I dunno how *anyone* can still be arguing that there are political, institutionalist answers to the fascist takeover we're experiencing in America when even straightforward incrementalist policies by an elected Democrat President are being struck down or otherwise blocked by Calvin Ball rulings from federal courts stacked full of fascists:

Appeals Court Blocks Bidenâs Student Debt Relief Plan
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuitâs temporary ruling against the administrationâs Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan comes just over a year after the Supreme Court struck down Bidenâs sweeping student debt cancellation proposal."
This case isn't even about using political power to stop fascism, it's a clear cut situation of providing debt relief for folks being ground up by the student loan industry. If fascist judges are prepared to interfere with regular policy issues and block milquetoast presidential initiatives, you can sure as shit bet they're going to do the same thing about any political efforts to stop the fascist takeover of our society. Whether you're for taking to the streets, or you believe in stopping fascism at the ballot box, it's 100% clear to me that we're not going anywhere good as a country so long as these corrupt, be-robed nazis are running Bartertown.
There's more than one way to reform the American federal court system, and I don't have all the answers for you. It's entirely possible the Biden administration can keep working around these rulings for a little while to continue offering student loan debt relief to millions of Americans victimized by the student loan industry. What I do know however is that sooner or later the political issues raised by the fascist takeover of our courts will come to a head, and by hook, or by crook, we need to find a way to shatter the power of corrupt judges who're now running the country for their reactionary corporate donors; rich donors and corpos who clearly support the larger fascist project, might I add. Ignoring this reality is a nonstarter - both politically, and in our greater society.

âThe White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment."

IRS Direct File is a major win for the #Biden administration that doesnât get a lot of attention.

#Trump losing 17% of the vote in a closed swing-state primary to a candidate who dropped out months ago should lead to a lotta commentary about his weakness. It wonât, because the press is obsessed with Trumpers sticking with Trump regardless, but it should.
