The Washington Free Beacon: "Biden pledged to be "mindful" of personal space because "social norms" have changed since he was born in the late Cretaceous period. He still hasn't announced his presidential run, but has signaled to allies that his prospective candidacy is "full steam" ahead—in which direction, and toward what destination, no one can say. It already resembles one of those Amtrak trains Biden admires so much: rickety, noisy, a relic transiting badlands." "The Obama team appears to be more intrigued by Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, who launched his campaign at a rally in El Paso, Texas, last weekend....

The Washington Examiner: "Is there any number of illegal border crossings into the United States that would strike Democrats as an emergency?" "...the border numbers are surging back to the bad old days. It appears that Customs and Border Protection apprehended more than 100,000 people in March..."
