Or is that Cinco de Meow? Whatever you call it, we hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Here are some news items that are getting our attention this Battle of Puebla Day.
You have to wonder how the dog killer from South Dakota can defend her "book," in which she not only says she executed her pet but also claimed to have met North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Now she's saying the part about Kim was all a mistake that she had no idea was even in there. But there's a catch: Noem read the audio version of the book herself. Don't worry, she's not crazy — she's just a liar.
(But you know what? Maybe she is crazy. She came out in favor of killing Biden's dog Commander today. Who's advising this woman?)
This may not have risen to the level of national coverage, but social media is consumed with JP Staples, the idiot at the University of Mississippi who made ape noises at a Black woman during a campus protest the other day. Unsurprising, since he's apparently a fan of Nick Fuentes. But he's become too much for his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, which has kicked him out. (Good, but expect him to run for office as a Republican someday — and, in Mississippi, probably win.)
A new poll by ABC News has President Biden leading Benedict Donald by four points with likely voters. It's come on the heels of a poll by NPR/Marist that showed Biden ahead by five with the same demographic. Moral of the story: Every time you see a poll, ask if it surveyed all adults, registered voters, or likely voters. Very few polls are breaking out respondents that way right now. "As people move from being a registered voter to likely voter to actual voter, and are faced with pulling that lever for MAGA, Trump and Republicans lose ground," Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg explains.
One of our favorite Democrats, Howard Dean, may run for Governor of Vermont again. No decision yet, but he says he's motivated by the state's current fiscal situation. It wouldn't surprise us if he's also thinking that even a popular Republican incumbent like Phil Scott would be vulnerable this fall with Trump at the top of his national ticket.
Finally, tomorrow Vice President Kamala Harris heads off to Detroit on the latest leg of her Economic Opportunity Tour. This is on top of her travels across the country to campaign for the restoration of reproductive rights. And after his silly parade of alleged VP candidates at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, where will Benedict Donald be? Back in criminal court, of course. We cats PURR.
