VIDEO OF THE DAY: Matt Gaetz accidentally screws himself with massive mistake at convention
Florida gas bag Matt Gaetz couldn't help himself at the RNC, taunting former Speaker Kevin McCarthy while the latter gave a live interview on CNN, only to have his pesky sex-trafficking-of-a-minor scandal dragged out in the open before a nationally televised audience. There's self-owning and then there's this.

Take Action: Denounce the Supreme Court for letting Trump off the hook!

Trump running mate JD Vance papers over blatant, well-documented right-wing extremism in RNC speech
Vance's speech was the same old, disingenuous song and dance we've come to expect from the modern GOP, where a billionaire-backed charlatan steps up and claims the GOP is populist now. "We oppose war! Multinational corporations are exploiting working families! We hate free trade! My mawmaw had 19 loaded handguns in her house! Blah blah blah." It's all bullshit. JD Vance is the protegte of a Silicon Valley billionaire, Trump is a self-described billionaire, and neither of these unhinged opportunists (nor their check-writers) gives a f*ck about anything other than amassing personal power and advancing their radical ideological agendas. We can't let America fall for this bait-and-switch again.

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?

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer privately urges Biden to step aside in 2024 election
According to multiple well-connected Democratic sources, President Joe Biden's support from elected party leaders is cratering. While the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday understandably drew attention away from the historic intraparty struggle for several days, a knowledgeable source claims Sen. Schumer had a blunt conversation with President Biden over the weekend, making the case it would be best if he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. When asked about this, Schumer's spokesperson declined to comment on specifics of the meeting, saying only that "Leader Schumer conveyed the views of his caucus." A source familiar with the matter said House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed similar views directly to the president.

Democratic Rep. and Senate hopeful Adam Schiff calls on Biden to withdraw from the presidential race
The friendly fire doesn't appear to slowing... Rep. Adam Schiff, a prominent Democrat and leading candidate for Senate in California, urged President Biden on Wednesday to "pass the torch" and exit the presidential race. “Joe Biden has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation’s history, and his lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made our country better,” Schiff said in a statement. “But our nation is at a crossroads,” he added. “A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November.”

Ex-Trump ICE director and white supremacy enthusiast given primetime speaking slot at RNC
Speaking to throngs of rabid RNC goers waving "Mass Deportation Now!" signs, Thomas Homan — the Trump-era head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement who once attended a white supremacist conference hosted by none other than Nick Fuentes — declared immigrants an existential threat to America and promised nothing short of a revolution. “Start packing, because you’re going home!” he shrieked. Please, mainstream media, tell us more about the cooling of the rhetoric from Trump's allies and enablers at the RNC in the wake of Saturday's assassination attempt. We're happy to wait.

JD Vance previously advocated for "abortion to be illegal nationally"
In candid plainspeak, Donald Trump's newly minted #2 spelled out exactly what he believes when it comes to casually stripping reproductive rights away from tens of millions of Americans. In a 2022 episode of the podcast “Very Fine People,” Vance said he would “certainly” like for “abortion to be illegal nationally.” A year before he went even further and advocated for ZERO exceptions to abortion restrictions for rape or incest because "two wrongs don’t make a right." Folks, when the Republican ideologues and demagogues running the party tell you EXACTLY how they feel about forced births, criminalizing reproductive choice, and subjecting women to second-class citizenry, please believe them and vote accordingly in November.

President Biden suggests he'd step down as candidate if a "medical condition emerged"
President Joe Biden would reevaluate his decision to stay in the presidential race if doctors told him he had a medical issue, he said in an interview with BET News. “If I had some medical condition that emerged,” Biden said, when asked if there was anything that would make him reconsider. “If doctors came to me and said, ‘You got this problem, that problem.’” Biden’s latest comments marked the first time he opened the door to a theoretical medical condition forcing him from the presidential race. In an interview with ABC News a week after the disastrous debate, he defiantly insisted that only the “Lord Almighty” could get him to drop out of the race.

Steve Bannon filmed Jeffrey Epstein for 15 hours. His "documentary" has never surfaced
So. Many. Questions.

Trump rally shooter was reported as a suspicious person an HOUR before opening fire
The gunman who opened fire at the MAGA cult leader's Pennsylvania rally was reported as a suspicious person — and photographed — one hour before he began shooting, according to three sources familiar with a briefing for senators Wednesday. Secret Service and FBI officials shared a timeline of events that revealed deeply troubling new details about the assassination attempt and raised questions about why Secret Service, who also spotted the shooter 10 full minutes prior to Trump taking the stage, allowed the event to proceed at all. As if this wasn't weird enough already, the shooter was found to have googled both Trump and President Biden's locations, but his search history otherwise showed no indication of a political motive.

JD Vance hailed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, told young conservatives to listen to "unconventional" people
JD Vance, winner of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice-style veepstakes contest, told a group of young conservatives that they should listen to “nonconventional” people like conspiracist Alex Jones in a candid closed-door speech in 2021. Seriously. This is the man Republicans want one Big Mac-induced heart attack away from the presidency. Under His eye, blessed be the fruit, yadda yadda NOPE.
