VIDEO OF THE DAY: Pelosi hits Trump with smackdown of the year
During a one-on-one interview with Brian Tyler Cohen, former Democratic House speaker and perpetual thorn in Trump's side Nancy Pelosi hit the wannabe strong man where it hurts the most — his supposed masculinity. When asked about the convicted felon's efforts to overthrow American democracy and his utter inability to accept the results of the 2020 election, Pelosi said, "I think it's a sign of his weakness. This is a very weak person. He was weak when he incited an insurrection... He lost. He was a loser, and he couldn't face that reality, so he said [the election] was a theft." The California Democrat wasn't finished. She excoriated Republicans in DC for their pathetic attempts to join Trump in whitewashing what they all witnessed first-hand on January 6, 2021, rightly branded them liars, and stressed just how important it is that we do everything in our power to ensure the MAGA cult leader never gets near the White House again.

Kamala Harris torches Trump’s "political stunt" at Arlington Cemetery
Kamala Harris took to X over the weekend and harshly criticized the disgraced ex-president amid continued fallout over the latter’s ghoulish campaigning at Arlington National Cemetery earlier this week. Harris castigated Trump for disrespecting "sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt.” The stunt in question, which saw the convicted felon and infamous draft dodger posing for photos with Gold Star families, led to an altercation between his staffers and an official at the cemetery. "This is a man who is unable to comprehend anything other than service to himself," Harris wrote of Trump. As of yesterday morning, X metrics claim that the post has been viewed more than 56 million times. That is a lot of views.

Ex-Trump aide claims he’s met only one person who hates former president more than Melania
Former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci, aka "The Mooch," claimed over the weekend that he has only met one person who hates his ex-boss more than his wife Melania Trump. “I judge the hatred of Donald Trump by the Melania standard,” the Mooch said. “I’ve met one person that actually hates Trump more than Melania. That’s General Milley. He’s the only guy I’ve met so far that actually hates him more than Melania.” Following the failed MAGA insurrection attempt on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump publicly said Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the nation's highest-ranking military officer at the time, should be killed for holding phone conversations with Chinese counterparts assuring them the United States was not under threat of attack during the riots. Hate is a strong word, but you can certainly understand where Milley is coming from here, eh?

Trump’s IVF proposal divides MAGA loyalists and conservatives
The MAGA cult leader's surprise announcement last week that he wants the federal government and/or insurance companies to pay for the very IVF treatments a large swath of his own party wants to outlaw is ruffling quite a few GOP man feathers. Trump, as ever, wants to have it both ways: he repeatedly takes credit for the conservative-stacked Supreme Court's disastrous overturning of federal abortion protections in 2022 while simultaneously seeking to distance himself from his own hardline, anti-abortion allies who are also seeking to ban IVF and other fertility treatments. With the general election just 64 days away the convicted felon is doing his damnedest to run from his abysmal record on reproductive freedom, and, ironically, he's being held to account by anti-abortion zealots hellbent on exerting government control over women's bodies. We must remember in November.

Trump attacks "vicious" Kamala Harris...for treating Mike Pence "horribly"
You read that right. Donald Trump, who famously refused to call off his own rabid supporters chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" when they stormed the US Capitol at his direction, wants the world to know that Kamala Harris was super not-nice to his servile deputy during their 2020 vice presidential debate. Seriously. The MAGA cult leader — who dubbed his former No. 2 "Liddle Mike Pence," called him "delusional," and accused him of going to the "Dark Side" for refusing to overthrow American democracy — wants everyone to know that Kamala was, like, sooo mean to Mike during their head-to-head debate four years ago when she refused to let Pence interrupt her, stating, "Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking. I’m speaking." The horror!

Large-scale polio vaccinations begin in war-ravaged Gaza after first case in 25 years
Palestinian health authorities and United Nations agencies began a large-scale campaign of vaccinations against frickin' polio in the Gaza Strip, hoping to prevent an outbreak in the territory that has been absolutely ravaged by the brutal Israel-Hamas war. Authorities plan to vaccinate children in central Gaza until Wednesday before moving on to the more devastated northern and southern parts of the strip. The campaign began with a small number of vaccinations on Saturday and aims to reach about 640,000 children. Gaza recently reported its first polio case in 25 years — a 10-month-old boy, now paralyzed in a leg. The World Health Organization says the presence of a paralysis case indicates there could be hundreds more who have been infected but aren’t showing symptoms.
