Biden campaign slams Trump's latest unwillingness to accept results of 2024 election
(ABC News) President Joe Biden's campaign on Thursday attacked former President Donald Trump after Trump doubled down on saying that he wouldn't commit to accepting the results of the upcoming presidential election. "If everything's honest, I'll gladly accept the results. I don't change on that," Trump said in an interview on Wednesday with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "If it's not, you have to fight for the right of the country." Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, did go on to say he anticipates the 2024 election will be "honest." In response to Trump's comments, the Biden campaign released a statement accusing Trump of being a "danger to the Constitution and a threat to our democracy."
After Large Rallies, Trump Is Greeted at Courthouse by a Single Fan
(DNYUZ) On a day off from court, Donald J. Trump on Wednesday flew to Michigan and Wisconsin for campaign rallies in front of thousands of supporters. On Thursday, he returned to a Lower Manhattan courthouse, where a single supporter stood outside waving a Trump 2024 flag. “I don’t feel lonely because my heart is with Trump,” said the flag-holder, Lily Qi, 62, of Wilmington, Del., as she stood in the park across from the New York City Criminal Court.
RFK Jr. Event Hosted by MAGA Group With Jan. 6 ties
(Daily Beast) Last Saturday, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. appeared at an event that felt entirely on-brand for the anti-vaccine champion: a so-called “medical freedom conference” near Buffalo, New York. But the group that hosted Kennedy isn’t just skeptical of vaccines. It’s also skeptical of the fact that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. That group, Constitutional Coalition of New York State, has founders who not only have ties to Donald Trump but are also connected to the stop-the-steal movement through their activist network, which includes groups that had a presence at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Trump Says He Won't Debate RFK Jr.
(Political Wire) Donald Trump on Thursday scoffed at the notion that he would debate long shot presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. even as the former president’s allies show more concern about Kennedy’s campaign,” Business Insider reports. Said Trump: “He’s, uh, not a serious candidate. They say he hurts Biden. I don’t know who he hurts, he might hurt me. I don’t know. He has very low numbers, certainly not numbers that he can debate with. He’s got to get his numbers a lot higher before he’s credible.”
Elon Musk hosted an 'anti-Biden' dinner party. Here's who attended

Elon Musk Promises to Lift X Ban on Neo-Nazi Leader
(Mediaite) Controversial billionaire and X owner, Elon Musk, vowed to allow avowed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes back onto his platform on Thursday. Fuentes, the leader of the so-called Groyper Army, has been banned from the platform since 2021 and is infamous for his violent and bigoted rhetoric. Fuentes is known for fusing violent imagery into his neo-Nazi tirades. In January, he vowed to kill if Trump asked him to. “I am a soldier for Donald Trump. I am part of, I serve at the personal pleasure of Donald Trump, my supreme leader. I am part of the paramilitary wing of the Trump movement. I am part of the Revolutionary Guard. I do not answer to the Pentagon. I do not answer to the civilian government. I answer. I am the pretorian guard of Donald Trump. If Donald Trump ordered me to do an extrajudicial killing, I would perform it,” Fuentes said.
How Humiliating

Noem’s dog killing was bad, but to really understand her, consider the goat
(SourceNM) After Noem made the death march to her farm’s gravel pit, where she shot Cricket, she was apparently still in an uncontrollable rage. “Walking back up to the yard, I spotted our billy goat,” Noem wrote. The nameless goat’s only sin in that moment was being in Noem’s field of view. In the book, Noem tried to justify her snap decision to kill the goat by writing that it “loved to chase” her children and would “knock them down and butt them,” leaving them “terrified.” The animal also had a “wretched smell.” But apparently none of that had been a big enough problem to do anything about it. Not until Noem got angry enough to kill a dog and decided she needed to kill again.
Michael Cohen's Tweets Mocking Donald Trump Draw Laughs From Courtroom
(Huff Post) Whoops. A gag order hearing during Donald Trump’s first criminal trial in New York went a bit sideways Thursday morning, as Trump attorney Todd Blanche entered into the record a series of tweets mocking his client ― drawing laughs from the courtroom. One series of tweets from former Trump fixer Michael Cohen repeatedly employed a nickname for Trump, “Von ShitzInPantz,” which Blanche read aloud for those in attendance — including his client. Blanche also said that Cohen had retweeted an edited image of Trump as a pudgy, bright orange superhero named “Super Victim,” with the image sparking laughter in the courtroom.
