VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump says he'll "have a threesome" with his sons
Surrounded by throngs of grown men dressed up as Teddy Roosevelt in North Dakota yesterday, America's misanthrope-in-chief went waaay off teleprompter, taking the audience on a very, um, rough ride with an awkward detour about a "threesome" he was planning with his "beautiful sons." Quick question: is it too early to start drinking?

Reporter details bizarre Trump demand: "It was important to him to have a fully carpeted bathroom"
We apologize for this morning's one-two punch of truly nauseating Trump news, but somebody's gotta cover this stuff. According to New York Times reporters Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman, authors of the new book, "Regime Change," the MAGA cult leader apparently demanded that White House staff ensure the residence was equipped with a fully carpeted bathroom upon taking office again.
"New carpet was laid in the bathroom on Inauguration Day, as before," the authors wrote. "Trump’s preference for a fully carpeted bathroom had posed a challenge for the Residence staff during his first term. The portion nearest the shower would often be soaked through; the staff was never quite sure why, but they worried about mold growing underneath."
Uh, we know why. It's carpet. In a bathroom. When Donald told us he was going to drain the swamp, we didn't realize he meant directly onto his own bathroom floor, but here we are.

Trump tries to ignore Supreme Court on E. Jean Carroll
After being found liable for sexual assault in civil court and losing a $5 million defamation case, getting hit with an additional $88 million in damages, watching the Supreme Court he packed with right-wing justices unanimously refuse to bail him out, and accruing nearly $800,000 in interest, Donald Trump responded the only way he knows how — by calling E. Jean Carroll's lawyer and asking for even more time to pay while he cooks up yet another excuse for kicking the accountability can ever further down the road.

Mike Johnson: Trump's presidency is OVER if Republicans lose the House
Red to Blue: Speaker Johnson just said the quiet part extremely out loud: “[Trump] needs all four years, not just two, to fix the mess. And that's what we need. If we lost the midterms, heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House, it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect." That's what's at stake this November. We are faced with a choice between succumbing to dictatorship or stopping Trump's agenda in its tracks and making him a lame duck two years into his term. Democratic leadership just identified the top 20 most important races for the 2026 midterms. Will you make a donation that will be split between all the progressive Democrats in these must-win races? Let's take our country back and WIN in November!
New autopsy of a baby killed by police in Mississippi deepens outrage
A Mississippi family whose 1-year-old child was killed when police fired into a moving car offered evidence Wednesday that they say challenges the officers’ account of being in danger when one opened fire. A preliminary autopsy requested by the family of Kohen Wiley suggested the baby was shot from the side of the car, not the front, civil rights attorney Ben Crump said, disputing officers’ claims that the car was heading toward them. Kohen’s mother, who was holding her baby in the passenger seat, says her friend was driving away from the officers.
Kohen and his mother are Black, and the June 14 shooting has sparked protests and outrage in the small town of Senatobia. Residents point to a string of troubling encounters with police in recent years. Crump said the child was killed after police were called to a Walmart parking lot about diapers that may have been shoplifted. Crump repeatedly emphasized that the pathologist did not have access to complete information. He said the family won't rest until authorities release the police body camera and dashcam video, as well as Walmart surveillance video.
