Progressives suffered a painful primary loss on Tuesday night when “Squad” member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) fell to centrist George Latimer. Among his problems: Bowman’s district was re-drawn to include more of suburban Westchester, and AIPAC poured almost $15 million into unseating Bowman, who has been critical of Israel’s war in Gaza, making this the most expensive primary in U.S. history.
Trump allies also had a tough night. Three Trump-endorsed candidates lost in Colorado, Utah and South Carolina.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), however, won her primary. She showed up for her victory party in fake golden Trump hightops, which she admitted were made in China. You’re not gonna believe this, but even Boebert’s bad-faith, attention-seeking, sycophantic Trumpism isn’t authentic!
Conservative former congressman and Jan. 6 Committee member Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) endorsed President Biden for reelection Wednesday, calling Biden the only choice to protect American democracy. Makes you wonder where all the other Republicans who warn that Trump is unfit — like his own Vice President and cabinet — are hiding out! Just kidding, we know they all came crawling back to the MAGA-verse.
The Supreme Court empowered the Biden Administration to push back against disinformation online, affirming White House efforts to discourage Covid and election conspiracies on social media platforms.
New York Justice Juan Merchan, the judge who oversaw Trump’s criminal trial, has been reassigned away from Steve Bannon’s upcoming trial due to scheduling conflicts.
Soldiers stormed Bolivia’s presidential palace in an apparent failed coup. The general who led the attempt was arrested.
So-called “cheap fake” videos are everywhere this election season. These vids use deceptively edited footage to make, for example, President Biden look like he’s doddering around aimlessly, when he’s really talking to paratroopers just offscreen. “The problem is that anybody can do this, and anybody has,” Atlantic staff writer Tom Nichols told today’s What a Day podcast. Tune in for the full discussion!
A Republican candidate for local office in Minnesota was arrested for allegedly tossing a tarantula at a housemate in an attempt to get her to move out. Marisa Simonetti pledged to continue her run for Hennepin County commissioner, and explained herself to a local news station by saying: “I’m a silly goose.” Would not be our description, but okay, lady!
