Greetings from the nation's capital. I hope everyone had a relaxing and meaningful long weekend celebrating our great nation's independence!

The overwhelming focus of our national conversation continues to be the massive, high-stakes game of "chicken" now playing out between the corporate media and the Democratic Party establishment over the fate of Joe Biden's presidency and candidacy. Thus far, those on the Left desperately seeking to oust Biden have gained a number of key converts to their cause—including some decently high-profile ones, such as Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.). But those seeking to force Biden out are desperately running out of time—and as I discussed last week with FEC Commissioner Trey Trainor, they face tremendous (and likely-insurmountable) logistical obstacles as well.

Check out my most recent radio episode of "The Josh Hammer Show," which explored this dynamic at length. (Additional episodes since our last newsletter include interviews with former Democratic Capitol Hill staffer Julian Epstein and Congressman Mike Kelly (R-Pa.).) My most recent column honed in on the massive gaslighting operation and cover-up that Biden's handlers and corporate media apologists have now been engaged in for years. It's a real fiery one: Go ahead and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

To keep up with everything I'm doing and all my various media hits, make sure to follow me on Twitter/X, Instagram, and Facebook. I am currently in Washington, D.C. for the National Conservatism Conference, which I spoke at yesterday. I am also speaking in Virginia tomorrow at Young America's Foundation's (YAF) National High School Leadership Conference. I will return to the nation's capital later this month for YAF's additional National Conservative Student Conference.
