VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump puts striking cognitive liabilities on full display in disastrous Q&A
The MAGA cult leader stood before the Economic Club of New York and gobbledygooked his way through a jaw-dropping word salad that should have the entire mediasphere asking all manner of questions about the 78-year-old's incredibly troubling cognitive liabilities. When asked how a theoretical second Trump administration would tackle the rising cost of childcare, the disgraced ex-president fumbled his way through a meandering and disjointed tangent on...tariffs? Ah, yes. Tariffs! We hear they cure cancer, too!

JD Vance says school shootings are just a "fact of life," says fix is better security
Republican vice presidential nominee and vacuous MAGA dolt JD Vance stood before rally-goers in Phoenix and said that school massacres carried out by kids armed with assault rifles were unfortunately just a "fact of life" and claimed that hardened security was the fix. Vance pontificated, "If these psychos are going to go after our kids we've got to be prepared for it. We don't have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We’ve got to deal with it," before offering up exactly zero actionable solutions while discrediting the one obvious answer an overwhelming majority of Americans support — common sense gun-safety reforms. Vance went on to claim that further restricting access to guns, as nearly all Democrats have long advocated, won’t end them, because massacres happen in states with both lax and strict gun laws. Interesting hot take, JD. Perhaps it's time we put that bullshit Republican theory to the test and enact strict gun control laws ACROSS THE BOARD at the federal level and see where the chips fall. It's a wager most of us are willing to take.

Tammy Baldwin’s challenger compares birth control to drug trafficking
Tammy Baldwin for Senate: Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked GOP Senate candidate, California banker Eric Hovde, just said in an interview that the morning after pill is an “abortion” and compared it to trafficking “hard narcotics.” Hovde clearly is extremely ignorant of how reproductive healthcare works and doesn’t understand how important it is to the lives of American women. Tammy Baldwin has been a stalwart defender of reproductive rights for her entire career and will fight tirelessly to enshrine Roe v. Wade at the federal level. Will you donate to support her re-election campaign and protect our Senate majority from Eric Hovde?
Father of 14-year-old Georgia mass school shooting suspect Colt Gray charged with second-degree murder
The father of Apalachee High School shooting suspect Colt Gray has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, among other charges, after allegedly buying his 14-year-old son an AR-style rifle — as a Christmas present last December, despite the FBI visiting the family the previous spring after Colt made online threats to carry out a school shooting. Let's definitely follow Republicans' lead here and do exactly nothing about the proliferation of community-crushing assault weapons in America and the shocking ease with which anyone can procure them.

White House slams Tucker Carlson’s "disgusting" interview with WWII revisionist as a "sadistic insult to all Americans"
During a two-hour interview posted on Wednesday to nüTwitter — where pro-Nazi content now runs wild under Elon Musk’s ketamine-fueled stewardship — testicle-tanning enthusiast Tucker Carlson and fake historian and Nazi apologist Darryl Cooper discussed World War II, which Cooper blamed primarily on Winston Churchill, whom he called the “chief villain” of the war. Cooper also claimed that Nazi Germany’s invasions yielded an unexpected number of “prisoners of war” and “political prisoners,” and that these people “ended up dead,” as if the Holocaust was some sort of unanticipated event rather than Adolf Hitler’s plan. Right on cue, Musk tweeted to his 200 million followers, "Very interesting. Worth watching." The Biden administration was less than impressed, issuing the following statement: "Giving a microphone to a Holocaust denier who spreads Nazi propaganda is a disgusting and sadistic insult to all Americans, to the memory of the over 6 million Jews who were genocidally murdered by Adolf Hitler, to the service of the millions of Americans who fought to defeat Nazism, and to every subsequent victim of Antisemitism. Hitler was one of the most evil figures in human history and the ‘chief villain’ of World War II, full stop."

Special counsel to have last word on Trump’s immunity days before election
The federal judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal prosecution for interference in the 2020 election issued a series of deadlines on Thursday that will see prosecutors have the last word just days before the November election on whether the charges should be kept against the convicted felon and MAGA cult leader. US District Judge Tanya Chutkan decided that prosecutors could file the first brief explaining how the charges against Trump in a slimmed-down indictment complied with the conservative-stacked US Supreme Court’s horseshit ruling granting former presidents broad immunity from prosecution. Stand by for a measured response from Donald and his esteemed legal brain trust.
Marco Rubio defends MAGA influencer "victims" of Russian op — attacks Western media for pushing pro-Harris "disinformation"
The Florida Republican and servile Trump bootlicker went on Fox News and claimed with a straight face that the insufferable right-wing blowhards being investigated by the DOJ for their role in a sprawling Russian misinformation operation are simply “victims” who were merely pushing “pre-existing political opinions” and, instead, slammed the supposed pro-Kamala Harris mainstream media as the real purveyors of disinformation. Did you get that? Down is up, black is white, and Vladimir Putin's $10 million operation to funnel pro-Russian propaganda onto American airwaves through Tennessee-based Tenet Media's slate of hapless conservative "influencers" isn't the problem, actual journalists reporting the news at CNN, NPR, and the like are. Got it.
