Debate night in Atlanta, June 27, 2024

The Democrats Must Dump Biden. Here's How [link removed]: We can't go on like this, Harold Meyerson writes after the presidential debate, and a Democratic Party that can't find another candidate who will actually beat Donald Trump has no raison d'etre.
The Supreme Court Blesses a Form of Bribery [link removed]: The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling earlier this week that effectively legalizes bribery for state and local officials. Hassan Kanu has the story.

A Tarnished Silver Lining [link removed]: One of the only good things, Robert Kuttner argues, about last night's debate is that President Biden's collapse was so total that there leaves little doubt that he must step down.

A Small-Town Texas Librarian's Big Stand Against Book Bans [link removed]: After Suzette Baker was fired from her library for refusing to abide by library book bans, her Texas community rallied behind her. Lise Olsen of the Texas Observer interviews the "Champion of Writers" on her firing and the battle against literary censorship.
