MAGA Senate hopeful: "The bad guys won in WWII"
As the control of the Senate hangs in the balance, GOP candidates across the country are facing a similar problem: Troubling and bizarre past statements, both in-person and on social media, are coming back to haunt them. But in Minnesota, Trump-loving Royce White is an even more extreme case. In a tweet from 2022 that has since resurfaced, White actually claimed, "The bad guys won in WWII. There were no 'good guys' in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces." Okaaaaay.

Michael J. Fox Foundation: With nearly 90,000 new diagnoses in the United States each year, Parkinson’s disease is the fastest growing and second-most-common neurodegenerative disease in America.

Filing in Trump case details remarkable schism with Pence over rejecting 2020 election loss
Days before rioters roamed the halls of the US Capitol threatening to "hang Mike Pence," the MAGA cult leader told his vice president that people are going to "hate your guts" and "think you're stupid" if he failed to stop the 2020 election certification and overthrow American democracy. The New Year’s Day warning wasn’t the first time Trump pressured Pence to overturn the election results. Nor was it the last. In what came to be known as "Operation Pence Card," the convicted felon spent weeks publicly and privately pushing his vice president to help him stay in power after losing. "You're too honest," Trump berated his vice president in that Jan. 1 morning call. After they hung up, Trump tweeted a reminder for his followers to come to Washington for the "BIG Protest Rally" just days away — what would become the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol. Incredible stuff.

"No room for compromise": Melania Trump reiterates abortion rights support
Melania Trump doubled down in her first public response to news of her passionate support for abortion rights, a position starkly at odds with that of her husband and the Republican Party he leads. "Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard," the former first lady said in a video released on Thursday. "Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth. Individual freedom. What does ‘My body, my choice’ really mean?" Answer the woman, Donald. We're waiting.

Trump shocks with horrifying promise of violence
Kamala Harris for President: In a recent rambling and incoherent speech, Donald Trump threatened to institute a "Purge"-like day of state-sanctioned violence if he returned to the White House — and that’s just the latest appalling promise from a would-be fascist dictator who has vowed to impose mass deportations, jail his political opponents, cripple our economy, and end democracy as we know it. Dose of Democracy is working with the Kamala Harris campaign to raise money and build the grassroots get-out-the-vote machine that we’ll need to defeat Trump in November. Will you make a donation to help elect Kamala Harris and stop Donald Trump once and for all?

Trump caught on tape in shocking riff on dead spouses while talking about supporter shot and killed at his rally
In news that should surprise exactly no one, the disgraced ex-president was caught making jokes about the death of a supporter who's widow subsequently received a substantial amount of money in donations, riffing that "at least four" couples at a fundraiser would be "thrilled" to get a million dollars after their spouses were killed. Speaking at a high-dollar private fundraiser, the MAGA cult leader brought up Corey Comperatore’s widow, Helen, as he made a risky and ill-fated attempt to find humor in the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania that took the man's life. “So they're going to get millions of dollars but the woman, the wife, this beautiful woman, I handed her the check — we handed her the check — and she said, 'This is so nice, and I appreciate it, but I'd much rather have my husband.' Now, I know some of the women in this room wouldn't say the same... At least four couples here would have been thrilled, actually." There is no bottom.
