Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court immunity decision: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution”
In a terrifying, mask-off moment of arrogance and glee, the president of the Heritage Foundation — the cabal of right-wing extremists behind Trump's fascistic Project 2025 plans — made it clear that overturning American democracy and installing one-party rule is their ultimate goal. "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be," said Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts in an interview, insinuating that violence will follow if he and his cronies don't get their way. We are on the precipice of the cliff of fascism, and we need to dedicate all of our energies to making sure Trump doesn't win in November, because it will likely be the last election we ever have.

SCOTUS extremism hits terrifying new heights
Brennan Center for Justice: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s insurrection flag scandal is the last straw. It is long past time we imposed term limits on the Supreme Court and put an end to the complete lack of accountability that these justices currently enjoy. The Brennan Center for Justice is spearheading the movement to finally put an end to the tyranny of the right-wing, anti-democracy extremists on the court — will you chip in to support their work?
Leaked polling from Democratic firm show concerning post-debate drop for Biden
The anxiety over President Biden in the wake of his disastrous debate performance hit full-blown panic on Tuesday when reporters got a hold of internal Biden team post-debate swing state polling that showed the president underwater in a slew of must-win swing states. To complicate the matter, Vice President Kamala Harris, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg “polled ahead of Biden in every battleground state." A CNN poll, also released on Tuesday, showed Trump with a six-point lead over Biden, while a Reuters poll found that a shocking three-quarters of voters said the Democratic Party would have a better shot at holding the presidency in 2024 if someone other than Joe Biden was running.

Biden faces growing revolt from Democrats in Congress
Congressional dominos are beginning to fall. Democratic Rep. Lloyd Daggett of Texas became the first Democrat in Congress to call for President Biden to drop out of the race, followed quickly by former Rep. Tim Ryan and Colorado congressional candidate Adam Frisch. Democratic leadership publicly hedged on the issue, as Speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi said it was "legitimate" to ask questions about President Biden's mental health, wondering "Is this an episode or a condition?" while minority whip Jim Clyburn said he would prefer a Biden-Harris ticket but that “I will support her if he were to step aside.”

Top leader of RNC Platform Committee entertained idea of imprisoning women who get abortions, opposes exceptions
While Democrats worry about their candidate's viability in the 2024 election, the GOP is doing everything it can to remind us all of how much is at stake. CNN's KFILE did an investigation into one of the leaders of the Republican National Convention’s platform committee, Ed Martin, and discovered he has advocated for a national abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest. Even more worryingly, he has publicly entertained the possibility of jailing not only women who get abortions but also the doctors who perform them. With extremists like this getting to write the party's policy platform, one shudders to think about what that final document might include.
Israeli National Security Minister calls for Palestinian prisoners to be executed, brags about horrific conditions in Israeli prisons
Faced with overcrowding in Israeli prisons due to the staggering number of Palestinians that the IDF is detaining as part of its war against Hamas, far-right extremist minister Ben Gvir called for prisoners to be executed and celebrated the horrifying conditions in Israeli detention camps, calling them "no longer a sad joke." Writing in a post on Twitter, Gvir declared that "Since I assumed the position of Minister of National Security, one of the highest goals I have set for myself is to worsen the conditions of the terrorists in the prisons, and to reduce their rights to the minimum required by law...Everything published about the abominable conditions of these vile murderers in prison was true... I have already proposed a much simpler solution, of enacting the death penalty for terrorists, which would solve the overcrowding issue." At least 9,623 Palestinian prisoners are in Israeli custody, and released inmates tell horrifying tales of rape, torture, near-starvation diets, and other dehumanizing and disgusting conditions. “The situation there is more horrific than anything we’ve heard about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo," said one lawyer about the Sde Teiman detention center.

RFK Jr. reportedly groped his babysitter, BBQ’d dog
If we'd had a nickel for every dog-killing scandal this presidential campaign...we'd only have two nickels, but it's very weird that it happened twice. A deeply disturbing Vanity Fair article on RFK Jr. revealed that he'd posed in a photo with a barbequed dog while on a trip to Asia and appears to have eaten it. More disturbing are the allegations that a 45-year-old RFK Jr. sexually assaulted a 23-year-old woman he'd hired to babysit, cornering her in the kitchen and groping her. When asked for comment, RFK Jr. gave the shocking response that he was "no church boy" and had "skeletons in his closet." Taken in conjunction with the vaccine denial and questions about his role in pushing his first wife to suicide, it is clear that RFK Jr. is much closer to being a monster like Donald Trump than he ever could be to his namesake.
She won a Pulitzer for exposing how the nation's poorest state spent federal welfare money. Now she might go to jail.
Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant is suing journalist Anna Wolfe for her report exposing how the deeply poor state, under his watch, misused tens of millions of dollars in federal welfare money — one of the most explosive corruption scandals in recent memory. As part of the lawsuit, a court has ordered Wolfe and her editor to turn over their confidential sources, which Wolfe has no intention of doing — and it could land her behind bars. “If one of us goes to jail, we will be the first person to go to jail in the Mississippi welfare scandal. How can I make promises to sources that I’m going to keep them confidential if this is possible?” said Wolfe to NBC News. More and more, Republican-run states resemble banana republic kleptocracies, with all the authoritarian repression and strong-arming that accompanies them.
White Nebraska man shoots and wounds 7 Guatemalan immigrant neighbors
A 74-year-old white Nebraska man described as "reclusive and confrontational" shot and wounded seven neighbors who are Guatemalan immigrants in a terrifying mass shooting. Thankfully, all the victims — which include kids as young as three — are expected to survive. The shooter opened fire with a shotgun before turning it on himself. Previous complaints showed that the shooter had previously made obscene gestures and yelled at the family to "Speak English!" Authorities say they have not ruled out racism as a motivation. Uh, ya think?
