I can only hope Death hasn't left D.C. yet, but is just sharpening his scythe. In particular, there are a couple presidential candidates who are rotting on the vine.

Is it standard operating procedure or not? If it is, then why would it make the Biden team look bad for revealing that they followed the norms.
It's not unheard of for a politician to ask what will be covered in an interview. It's not good practice to provide questions ahead of time, and it's unheard of to let the interviewee script the questions themselves.
Most damning is the lack of confidence Biden's own staffers have in him to rig the interviews in which he is supposed to be demonstrating his mental agility and acuity.
No. It's fairly common for interviewees to ask for a list of questions beforehand, but according to Boston University journalism professor Christopher Daly "it is not good professional practice to give questions in advance to sources such as public officials." And to let the interviewee actually write the questions for you is egregious journalism malpractice, thus the resignation.
The banner is disturbing. The impulse to use the government to suppress offensive speech is also disturbing.
"Porn barrel politics" I'm intrigued.
The answer to predatory corporations targeting children is not helicopter parenting. Children need communities in which they can safely grow into independent, self-reliant adults. That means as a society we need to protect them from corporations that seek to exploit their naivete, whether that be via gambling, drugs, social media, or anything else.
You should know that it is physically impossible to open the cabin door of an airliner at altitude. Cabin doors are designed so that one must first pull the door in to unlatch it. This requires overcoming a pressure differential of 7 psi or more. Assume a tiny 2' x 5' door. That equates to a surface area of 2' x 5' = 10 sq ft => 10 sq ft x 12" x 12" = 1,440 sq in => 1,440 sq in x 7 psi = 10,080 lbs of force. So the only way the cabin door is coming open is if the cabin is not pressurized, which normally means the plane is climbing to altitude after takeoff or descending for landing. If you are at altitude and the cabin is not pressurized, you will soon pass out unless you are wearing an emergency oxygen mask. The lack of pressure differential means no one would be sucked out of the plane; it would just be extremely windy.
So if someone tries to open the cabin door in the middle of your flight at altitude, just sit back and enjoy the show.
The 35,000 Gazans killed already comprise 1.6% of the population. The 85,000 injured comprises another 4% of the population. Thousands of children have already experienced severe malnutrition that will lead to stunting and lifelong effects. So no, 99% of Gaza will not be able to "move on."

Adults are wildly overreacting to some kids being jerks. Part of being an adult is tolerating other people saying things you don't like. American schools are authoritarian nightmares.
