VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump hit with nightmare blow from Biden
President Biden finally dropped the political ad we've all been waiting for: "This election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who is fighting for your family." Mic drop. [RETWEET THAT!]

Journalist who interviewed Trump for new book makes bombshell claims about his cognitive function
Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh spent a lot of time interviewing the MAGA cult leader for his new book about his years hosting the NBC reality TV show "The Apprentice" — but despite all the time they spent together, Setoodeh claimed on Monday that Trump didn't remember who he was. "Donald Trump had severe memory issues. As the journalist who spent the most time with him, I have to say, he couldn't remember things. He couldn't even remember me." Cool! But let's definitely spend hours a day discussing President Biden's mental acuity, though.

New report exposes GOP’s abortion catastrophe
Kristin Lyerly for Wisconsin: A new AP report describes in chilling detail how countless Americans across the country are being forced to endure agonizing pain and psychological trauma as their pregnancy complications are left untreated by hospital staff too scared of GOP abortion bans to treat them. This has to stop — and the best way to do that is to send people like Dr. Kristin Lyerly to Congress. Dr. Lyerly is ready to take her fight for reproductive rights to Congress, bringing years of OB/GYN experience to a legislative body dominated by men who will never experience pregnancy and are supremely unqualified to write legislation governing human bodies. But she can’t get there alone. Will you chip in to send Dr. Kristin Lyerly to Congress to restore Roe v. Wade and end this national nightmare?

President Biden to open path for 500,000 illegal immigrants married to US citizens to gain citizenship
President Biden is set to unveil a new program that will give a path to citizenship for people who are illegally in the United States but are married to Americans.The plan could benefit as many as 500,000 American families in so-called “mixed-status” marriages in which one parent is not present in the US legally. And if you think such a decidedly pro-family move might illicit at least some support from Republicans, the self-proclaimed party of FaMiLy VaLuEs™, well, we've got news for you...

Right-wing ghoul Stephen Miller goes on racist rant over Biden’s new immigration policy
Right on cue, former Trump senior policy adviser and xenophobic ghoul Stephen Miller stirred from his hate slumber to kick and scream about President Biden’s sensible, compassionate, new anti-deportation protections. The thought of providing a pathway to legal status to half a million immigrants is apparently just too much for the avowed white nationalist to take, so he's doing what he does best: making sweeping, racist generalizations about immigrants and ginning up the MAGA base with outrageous accusations playing on their distorted fears and Fox News-addled brains.

Biden blasts "out of step" Supreme Court in warning over second Trump presidency
Speaking at a campaign event in Hollywood, President Joe Biden issued the starkest of warnings about the disastrous impact a second Donald Trump presidency would have on the future composition of the Supreme Court. The president rightly pointed out that whoever wins November’s election could get to name two Supreme Court justices. The thought of the MAGA cult leader, a convicted felon, notorious swindler, and serial sex pest, placing FIVE justices to lifetime appointments on the nation's highest court is unthinkable. It simply cannot come to pass.

Judge Aileen Cannon confusingly does special counsel Jack Smith a massive favor
Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon appears to be sick and tired of nonparties attempting to intervene in the MAGA cult leader's classified documents trial — even though she’s the one who allowed them to do so in the first place. Cannon issued a paperless order Monday, rejecting without explanation a couple dozen Republican attorneys general and their proposed brief opposing special counsel Jack Smith’s pending gag order on the former president, which they decried as “presumptively unconstitutional.” The rejection is one of few indications that Cannon actually intends to move forward with a trial that has been riddled with unnecessary and cumbersome delays. Trump faces 42 felony charges in the case related to willful retention of national security information, corruptly concealing documents, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Upheaval and ethical concerns upend Washington Post newsroom as new leaders face intensifying scrutiny
New leaders of The Washington Post are being haunted by their pasts, with ethical questions raised about their actions as journalists in London that illustrate very different press traditions in the United States and England. An extraordinary trio of stories over the weekend by The New York Times, NPR and the Post itself outline alleged involvement by Post publisher Will Lewis and Robert Winnett, his choice as a new editor, in wrongdoing involving London publications as much as two decades ago. Lewis, a former publisher of The Wall Street Journal who is also vice chairman of the board at The Associated Press, has spent the past week trying to assure Post staff members that he understands and will live up to the ethical standards of American journalism. He clearly has his work cut out for him.

Rudy Giuliani hit with more bad news after fiery bankruptcy hearing
Rudy Giuliani's creditors requested Monday that an independent trustee handle the former Trump henchman's personal and business finances from now on due to his inability to file timely and complete paperwork in his bankruptcy trial in New York. Judge Sean Lane didn’t rule on their request, but did express dissatisfaction with how Giuliani has handled his affairs. “There are reasons to be very concerned here. I'm not going to beat a dead horse,” he said. Giuliani, who has been indicted on election interference-related charges in Georgia AND Arizona, owes more than $150 million. His creditors have said that dealing with him is like being “on a hamster wheel,” in part because his bankruptcy accountant quit last month—leaving the 80-year-old to potentially handle things himself. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

Misleading GOP "cheap fake" videos of Biden are going viral and fact-checks are having trouble keeping up
The Republican National Committee, major conservative media outlets like Fox News, and right-wing influencers have succeeded in blasting out bullshit "cheap fake" videos that they claim show "proof" of Biden’s supposed cognitive decline. Independent fact-checkers and the Biden campaign have pointed out that the videos tend to crumble under even basic scrutiny, such as when the moments are viewed in context or from wider camera angles. But for the average American voter, that may not matter. "The lie is sprinting the 100-meter dash and the fact-check is taking a stroll on the beach. So it’s never going to catch up," said one Democratic strategist. Not good, folks. Very not good at all.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink forced a pregnant employee to work with herpes-infected monkeys that scratched her, lawsuit says
While the herpes-infected monkeys naturally hog all the attention, the real story here is the abysmal labor conditions that Elon Musk imposes on his workers. The lawsuit includes allegations of various labor code violations such as failure to pay minimum and overtime wages, denial of meal and rest break, retaliation against workers, failure to provide adequate protective equipment for working with herpes-infected monkeys, failure to report workplace injuries — like the aforementioned herpes monkey scratches — to OSHA and USDA, and finally the firing of plaintiff Lindsey Short after she told Neuralink that she was pregnant. Maybe Elon was just mad that the baby wasn't his?
