Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed the Department of Justice and FBI “were planning to assassinate President Trump and gave the green light.”

Trump piled on in a fundraising email: “They were authorized to shoot me!”

Of course, it’s not actually true that Biden tried to assassinate Trump, but by Trump’s own logic wouldn’t he have the “absolute immunity” to do so?

Some great detail in the New York Times profile of Nicole Shanahan, who Robert F. Kennedy Jr. picked as his running mate:

“At that party, Elon Musk and Ms. Shanahan took ketamine, a popular party drug that is legal with a prescription, and disappeared together for several hours, according to four people briefed on the event and documents related to it.”

A new Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll found half of swing-state voters say they’re worried about violence surrounding the presidential election, suggesting misgivings about how an acrimonious race and its results will be received by a highly polarized electorate.

Roughly equal shares of Democrats and Republicans hold that fear, and it is even more common among independents.

The Biden campaign released a video of Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff calling Donald Trump a “known antisemite.”

“In presidential contests, the top-of-the-ticket is generally expected to lift same-party candidates further down the ballot to possible victory on his or her coattails. But in 2024, Biden’s coattails appear, at this point in time, to be short, if they exist at all. In fact, some Democrats in key Senate and local legislative races are hoping to use their own popularity to generate excitement and draw out voters otherwise not energized by Biden, trying to create an updraft for the president,” the Washington Post reports.

“Call it the reverse coattails effect.”

“This somewhat novel concept essentially acknowledges the lack of activist energy swirling around the 81-year-old incumbent president. For Democrats, the goal isn’t just to win their own races, but to run up as big a margin as possible.”
