VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump VP contender ends her career in live interview
It's been a rough week for South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem, who until recently looked like a strong contender for Trump's #2 on the GOP ticket. In the midst of a PR tour she surely hoped would be a victory lap of sorts hyping the release of her new memoir, "No Going Back," Noem has spent the last several days, well, going back, feebly defending the indefensible — she once shot and killed a puppy because it was a poor hunting dog — and haplessly trying to explain away the unexplainable — she invented a fantastical story about once meeting and "staring down" North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. But wait there's more! Noem also wrote in her career-killing autobiography that her first priority should she ever make it into the White House would be to personally put down President Biden's dog, Commander. Looks like Noem will have plenty of time to work on volume two of her life story, "No Going Forward."

White House bashes Trump for echoing "fascists" following "Gestapo" remarks
The White House ripped Donald Trump for echoing "fascists" on Sunday after the serially indicted cult leader compared President Biden's administration to — why not — the Gestapo, the secret police force of Nazi Germany. Nothing the MAGA cult leader says is shocking at this point, but it is laughable for the proudly xenophobic bigot who declared migrants to be rapists and drug dealers, trashed "shithole countries" for basically not being white enough, and talked of immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country" to compare literally anyone other than himself to Hitler or his regime.

GOP banker drops dark money bomb in must-win Senate race
Tammy Baldwin for Senate: Eric Hovde, McConnell’s hand-picked candidate for Wisconsin’s US Senate seat, spent over $5 MILLION on TV and digital ads so far in his transparent attempt to try and buy himself trailblazing Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin’s seat. Hovde used that money to unleash a torrent of GOP lies against Baldwin and President Biden, making it clear that he will rubber-stamp the GOP’s draconian national abortion ban and roll back all the accomplishments that Senator Baldwin and President Biden have delivered for the American people. Polling shows that 15% of voters are still undecided — and in the most fiercely contested partisan battleground in the country, every single vote counts more than ever before. Will you chip in to fight the GOP’s lies, re-elect Tammy Baldwin and protect our Senate majority?

Israeli army tells Palestinians to evacuate parts of Gaza’s Rafah ahead of an expected assault
The Israeli army ordered some 100,000 Palestinians on Monday to begin evacuating from the southern city of Rafah, signaling that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's long-promised ground invasion there could be imminent and further complicating efforts to broker a ceasefire in war-ravaged Gaza. The looming operation in the city — where more than one million Palestinians are sheltering and a high number of deaths is feared — has raised global alarm, and Israeli’s closest allies have warned against it. On Monday, the United Nations agency serving Palestinian refugees said it would not comply with the evacuation order.

Tim Scott refuses SIX TIMES to commit to accepting results of the 2024 election in utterly surreal exchange with NBC's Kristen Welker
The South Carolina Republican and vice presidential hopeful — taking cues directly from the disgraced ex-president who nearly upended American democracy by refusing to accept his crushing 2020 defeat — repeatedly declined to say he would accept the results of the upcoming election, an apparent prerequisite to becoming the MAGA cult leader's running mate this time around.

Leaked audio gives glimpse into Trump's views on potential running mates
Axios obtained leaked audio of the MAGA cult leader discussing the traits and strengths of his wannabe running mates, many of whom descended on Mar-a-Lago over the weekend to audition for the role, and they all share one very important quality in common — Donald really, really likes how much they all seem to really, really like him.

House Democrat calls for Biden to visit pro-Palestine college protests after denouncing demonstrators
Rep. Ro Khanna called on President Biden to visit pro-Palestine human rights and anti-war protests on college campuses after the White House denounced some of the nationwide demonstrations as "antisemitic." Last month, the Biden administration issued a statement slamming the protesters for “anti-Semitic” and hateful rhetoric at Columbia University due to some participants engaging in pro-Hamas chants. Student protesters and local activists, the overwhelming majority of whom have been peacefully exercising their right to assemble, are demanding the Biden administration stop providing military and financial aid to Israel for its ongoing assault on Gaza. During an appearance on CBS News' Face The Nation, Khanna spoke of the "extraordinarily civil, thoughtful, and constructive" conversations he has witnessed among Jewish Americans and Arab Americans alike, and encouraged Biden to see the protests for himself. Khanna continued, "I condemn any protest that incites violence or that is anti-Semitic. As someone who’s grandfather spent four years in jail with Gandhi, I mean, the whole point of satyagraha was nonviolent protests. But we have to understand that this is a defining moment for this generation, similar to anti-Vietnam protests, anti-apartheid protests, anti-Iraq war protests. And they’re telling us that there over 30,000 people have died. It’s time for this war to end. It’s time for the hostages to be released that Hamas has. And they want to see leadership, in America and around the world. This is not the world that they want."
