At a campaign rally Saturday with Vice President Kamala Harris in Kalamazoo, Michigan, former first lady Michelle Obama asked, “Why on Earth is this race even close?”
Obama called out the double standard that Harris and her opponent, former President Donald Trump, have been held to during the 2024 election cycle.
She expressed her frustration at those who expect Harris “to be intelligent and articulate, to have a clear set of policies, to never show too much anger, to prove time and time again that she belongs" while expecting "nothing at all" of Trump.
“I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse,” said Obama. "All of this while we pick apart Kamala's answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do."
JD Vance acknowledges the cat and dog stories are urban legends and then rationalizes it (via CNN): “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."
A bombshell (if predictable) ruling, and a really huge conservative win that'll kneecap administrative agencies very significantly:
SCOTUS overturns Chevron on a 6-3 vote.

@isham_christy Right now happen to be reading mystery writer Josephine Tey’s 1951 book “The Daughter of Time” in which a detective and a researcher reevaluate the history told and find Henry VII the villain (so far as I’ve read…) Thought the @nytimes article would have mentioned it but no.
@BrianMannADK@RepStefanik@claudiatenney’s explanation for her no vote claims she supports Ukraine but needs a “clear exit strategy”—does she have one for other arms deals she supports? Also says Europe’s “radical green policies” are among the “policies that led to this war”
