For all of Trump’s chest-thumping about the potency of his endorsements, especially in GOP primaries, three Trump-backed Republicans have lost in the last two months. The Amir Hassan example in Michigan, however, is clearly the most embarrassing. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Trump-endorsed candidate loses congressional primary to a rival who had quit the race
For the third time in two months, Republican primary voters simply ignored the president’s advice, despite weird boasts about his intraparty powers.

Seth Masket@smotus.bsky.social · 7d agoThis is honestly one of the most shocking images coming out of this administration and that’s saying something
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
NEW from me: A senior Trump official is using his govt social media account to attack sitting federal judges, sparking accusations he's putting their safety at risk as judges already face a spike in violent threats. This “puts a bullseye” on them, one judge told me. www.huffpost.com/entry/james-...

This “puts a bullseye” on judges already facing a spike in violent threats, warned U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, whose son was killed by a disgruntled litigant.

Trump denies disaster aid requests, but only for blue states. He scraps energy grants, but only for blue states. He freezes funding for social services programs, but only blue states were affected. He launches a supposed crackdown on “fraud,” but its sole focus is on blue cities and states.
Trump reportedly overruled his own agencies to deny disaster aid to Democratic-led states
The White House didn’t need a fresh round of allegations about Trump politicizing federal disaster aid, but it’s confronting striking new claims anyway.

It’s a problem that the war with Iran has depleted U.S. munitions stockpiles. The fact that Trump and his team can’t keep their story straight about this, and keep pushing a series of contradictory statements, makes the problem noticeably worse. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
On questions about depleted munitions, Team Trump struggles to keep its story straight
To recap, the depleted stockpiles aren’t depleted, though they could be better, and everyone should blame Joe Biden.

DoorDash, in damage control mode, now claims it supports D.C. home rule and denies lobbying against it. Here’s the letter their lobbyist wrote to Rep. Comer supporting his bill to ban D.C. from ever imposing or increasing a tax or fee without congressional approval. hillheat.com/files/492/DD...
Last year, Vance Boelter shot and killed a Democratic state rep and her husband. He was sentenced this week to consecutive life sentences. Maybe now’s a good time for some accountability for the Republicans who peddled disgusting conspiracy theories about the slayings?

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.
