[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=212629&nl=daily client,
Alex, never meant for his boss to see the email. It was a moment of
frustration after a demoralizing team meeting in which his ideas were
dismissed, yet again. So he vented to a colleague, “I swear she
shoots down anything that doesn’t come from one of her
‘favorites.’”  He continued, “It’s exhausting trying to
prove I belong.”

Is there anyone who is still as obsessed with Joe Biden as Donald
Trump? A year after the Democratic President was pushed out of his
relection campaign by his own party, Trump hardly lets a day go by
without bashing his predecessor. This week alone, he claimed that
Biden was personally to blame for Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine,
or, as he calls it, Biden's war; that Biden was responsible for Jerome
Powell, the Trump-installed chairman of the Federal Reserve who has
since become another of his frequent targets; and that Biden's
incapacity while in office was the biggest scandal in the history of
the country. He also boasted of having ended Biden's war on clean,
beautiful Pennsylvania coal, and insisted that the United States had
the worst inflation in history under Biden - a favorite attack of his
- though it is nowhere close to being true.
