VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump hit with nightmare news in South Carolina
The South Carolina primary just concluded with some massive, blinking red lights for the serially indicted, disgraced ex-president. Sure, he "won" the primary contest over the weekend. But let's be clear, the guy is basically running as an incumbent and is garnering just over half the vote, in contest after contest. If the GOP was any less unified, it would be split into two parties. By contrast, President Biden won MORE THAN 96% of the vote in the Democratic primary in South Carolina. Game on.

Nikki Haley says "I have a duty" to stay in race despite losing home state primary
Not one for reading tea leaves, poll numbers, or very bright writing on the wall, perennial primary loser Nikki Haley has vowed to stay in the race and campaign in Michigan after suffering a decisive loss in her home state of South Carolina, marking her fourth straight defeat in the Republican presidential primary. Trump, on the other hand, continued his undefeated streak with a double-digit win in South Carolina, further cementing his hold, albeit on a fractured Republican Party. While Haley obviously isn't long for the race, a substantial percentage of her backers have vowed not to support the serially indicted frontrunner in the general election, raising serious questions about Trump's chances in November.

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel announces her resignation
Having fallen out of favor with the MAGA cult leader and presumptive GOP presidential nominee, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel acknowledged the obvious and announced her imminent resignation, making way for Trump's handpicked successors — including his daughter-in-law Lara Trump — to run the Republican Party further into the ground. Criticism of McDaniel’s leadership grew following the party’s latest disclosure with the Federal Election Commission, which showed it was facing a serious cash crunch, with less than half as much money in the bank as the Democratic National Committee at the end of 2023.

Koch brothers network pulls plug on Nikki Haley
Less than a day after suffering a sizeable defeat in her home state’s primary, future former presidential also-ran Nikki Haley was dished another blow Sunday when the billionaire-funded, right-wing super PAC Americans For Prosperity Action said it would no longer bankroll her doomed campaign. "She has made it clear that she will continue to fight and we wholeheartedly support her in this effort," CEO Emily Seidel wrote in an email spelling out in plain language the group's intentions to, in fact, not support her in this effort.

Measles cases continue growing in Florida
In news as predictable as it is infuriating, more children have come down with measles in Florida after the state's incredibly boneheaded and downright negligent surgeon general defied federal guidelines by NOT urging parents to vaccinate their children against the highly contagious virus or to keep unvaccinated students at home. Surgeon General and steadfast DeSantis ally Joseph Ladapo's stand is just the latest example of how conservative officials are flouting decades of established public health norms and needlessly endangering tens of thousands of children. Let's hear it for the party of FaMiLy VaLuEs.

US Air Force member critically injured after setting himself on fire outside an Israeli embassy in protest
An active-duty member of the US Air Force was critically injured Sunday after setting himself ablaze outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, while declaring that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide." The man, whose name wasn’t immediately released, walked up to the embassy shortly before 1 pm, began livestreaming on the video streaming platform Twitch, doused himself in accelerant, and ignited the flames. Nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas terror attacks on October 7, 2023.

"No Labels" leader rolls out the red carpet for Nikki Haley on Fox & Friends: we'd "definitely be interested"
Oh, good. The so-called "centrists" and their horde of corporate backers hellbent on tipping the general election in November in Donald Trump's favor have apparently found their latest, fleeting object of desire in perpetual primary loser Nikki Haley, having already been rebuffed by the likes of Joe Manchin, Larry Hogan, and others. No Labels national director Joe Cunningham told Fox & Friends Sunday that he’s "definitely" interested in having Haley as their candidate if and when she drops out of the race for the GOP’s nomination. Friendly reminder: Nikki Haley supported some of the country's most restrictive anti-abortion policies while governor of South Carolina, has been a steadfast opponent of advancing common sense gun safety reform, claimed the United States has never been a racist nation, and was once a fervent supporter and backer of Trump, serving has his ambassador to the UN. Very moderate, indeed.
