VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump incriminates himself with bombshell confession on air
Oh, nothing. Just the disgraced ex-president casually confessing that he did indeed explicitly interfere with the 2020 presidential election to overturn the results and remain in power. On air. Pretty sure special counsel Jack Smith will be super interested in submitting Trump's sit-down interview with Mark Levin into the official record.

Elon Musk suggests support for replacing democracy with government of "high-status males"
The ketamine enthusiast and Lex Luthor knock-off has lost whatever was left of his goddamn mind, folks. On Sunday Musk promoted an absolutely bonkers, batshit crazy idea to his 196 MILLION followers that claims a truly free-thinking “Republic” can only exist under the decision-making of "high-status males" AND that women and "low-testerone men" should be barred from decision-making roles in such a society. Seriously. The richest man on the planet with the largest megaphone on Earth is actually promoting this heinous, misogynistic horseshit on nüTwitter just two months before Americans go to the polls to decide if Kamala Harris becomes the country's first female president or if we hand the keys to the kingdom back over to convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump. What the f*ck are we doing here?

GOP Senate candidate caught polluting pristine local river with coal waste
Glenn Elliott for Senate: Bluestone Coke, a company owned by GOP Senate candidate Jim Justice’s family, was just held in civil contempt by a judge for polluting the nearby Five Mile Creek with coal sediment. If Jim Justice makes it into the Senate, ALL of America’s rivers and our clean air will be in serious danger. That’s why we need your help to elect the pro-abortion, pro-climate, and pro-union Glenn Elliott, who will protect our pristine wilderness from greedy polluters like Jim Justice. Will you chip in to expand our Senate majority and elect Glenn Elliott?
Trump falsely claims schools are giving surgeries to kids to change their gender, NO major media news outlets push back
This is truly — in every sense of the word — insane. The Republican nominee for president of the United States sat on a very public stage Friday and word-vomited in front of hundreds of people, "But uh, the transgender thing is an incredible thing... Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation the school decides what’s going to happen with your child and you many of these childs [sic] 15 years later say 'what the hell happened, who did this to me?'" To be absolutely clear, a presidential candidate just declared, without evidence, that schools are performing operations on children. This is laughably, mind-numbingly stupid and, of course, categorically false. Yet you won't read that with your morning coffee, unless you happen to have heavyweight outlets like Erin in the Morning or Baptist News Global in your daily news feed. Folks, mainstream media is failing you. It is failing America. It is failing democracy.

Trump’s nephew torches uncle's attitude toward soldiers: "He doesn't give a shit about them"
Fred Trump III took to MSNBC's airwaves Monday and shared the unvarnished truth on his narcissistic uncle, whom he has known his entire life. Deadline: White House host Nicole Wallace asked, "Why do you think people in the military support [Donald Trump]?" Fred responded, "I have no idea. And I know many people who are in the military, and I had the pleasure of speaking on an interview with National Defense Radio, which goes out to the armed services. And I told the truth. I basically told this story, and I said that he just doesn't give a shit about them. He just doesn't...Donald believes in Donald."

Lara Trump continues quest for musical stardom for some reason with new song about firefighters
The incredibly busy chairwoman of the Republican National Committee is apparently still "doing her music thing" on the side, having just released a music video for her newest song — an ode to firefighters called "Hero." It features moody shots of Trump and fellow singer Madeline Jaymes singing in a music studio and, at times, also on a fire escape. We watched and listened so you don't have to. Choice lyrics probably written by an 8-year-old include: "You're going through the fire, and the flames getting higher. You're my hero. You're my hero. You're climbing up the ladder and the screams getting louder. You're my hero. You're my hero." Riveting! Also, there's an election happening in 62 days.

Gala in honor of January 6 rioters at Trump’s Bedminster golf course postponed (again)
The second attempt to hold a frickin' "gala" celebrating January 6 rioters and insurrectionists at Donald Trump's Bedminster golf club in New Jersey has been postponed. The event website now shows the date as postponed and location "to be announced," suggesting the whole thing may just evaporate altogether. Perhaps celebrating convicts and martyring treasonous assholes two months before a general election isn't a good look after all?
Tim Walz goes on a tear against MAGA wanting a government that’s "small enough to be in your bedroom"
Democratic vice presidential nominee and America's favorite coach Tim Walz lit into Donald Trump and the GOP on Monday, accurately branding Republicans as a bunch of busybodies looking to control people’s personal lives. Speaking at a rally in Milwaukee, Walz went on the offensive: "I remember a time when Republicans talked about things like freedom, they meant it. But that’s not these guys. Trump and Vance, when they talk about freedom, means government should have the freedom to invade every corner of our life. They talk about small government, small enough to be in your bedroom, small enough to be in your exam room, small enough to be in your library, telling you the things you should make decisions about." Walz buttoned up his withering critique with his now-familiar, downright Midwestern refrain: "Mind your own damn business!" Hear, hear!
Joe Biden says Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to release hostages
President Biden said Monday the he believed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to secure the release of hostages still held by Hamas. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Biden was asked for his thoughts on Netanyahu’s approach to negotiations after the bodies of six hostages were discovered in a tunnel in Gaza over the weekend. “Do you think it’s time for Prime Minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue? Do you think he’s doing enough,” one reporter asked. Biden replied simply, “no,” without going into further detail. Speaking of an apparent negotiation deal regarding the hostages and a ceasefire, Biden said, “we are very close,” adding that, “hope springs eternal.” The president also confirmed he spoke to the parents of 23-year-old American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was among those killed, adding that “we're not giving up, we're going to continue to push as hard as we can.”
Trump ridiculed after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence
The MAGA cult leader drew withering ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy from all corners of the internet after laughably accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence, the very man Trump's owns supporters wanted to hang during the January 6 insurrection the disgraced ex-president incited. For context, on the morning of the violent Capitol attack, Trump reportedly told then-Vice President Pence: "You can either go down in history as a patriot, or you can go down in history as a p*ssy." But please, tell us more about Kamala's very not nice treatment of the former vice president during their 2020 debate. 🙄
