A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. Pass The Popcorn Were it not for an assassination attempt and the President dropping his re-election bid, the past two weeks might have featured the meltdown of JD Vance. Even still, there’s reported grumbling in…
I was almost first but I couldn’t find a cat. Curses!

‘Hit it hard’: Trump flips out after questions are raised if he was really hit by a bullet - Raw Story
Donald J. Trump
FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!), but he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically andcognitively “uneventful” - Wrong! That’s why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our Country at record levels. His only focus is destroying J6 Patriots, Raiding Mar-a-Lago, and saving Radical Left Lunatics, like the ones now in D.C. burning American flags and spray painting over our great National Monuments - with zero retribution. No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel. The hospital called it a “bullet wound to the ear,” and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!

Harris had a Zoom call last night with over 160,000 attendees, by far the largest Zoom call ever. I’m waiting for Sean Spicer to pop up out of nowhere to claim that it’s actually Trump that had the biggest Zoom call ever. PERIOD! The enthusiasm for Harris is approaching Obama 2008 levels. With the Obamas now having endorsed her, expect Trump’s psychosis to hit a new level of overdrive - like a Yellowstone Supervolcano level.
Kamala planned a group Zoom
Since they couldn’t all meet in one room
The attendee-list tally
Dwarfed a Trump rally
Harris-mania now has Trump sensing DOOM

And so it begins!!! SC to dictate which healthcare you can have???
West Virginia is asking the US Supreme Court to consider transgender surgery Medicaid coverage case (msn.com)
The state of West Virginia had argued that officials in states with limited resources should have discretion to utilize those resources as they see fit to meet the needs of the population. West Virginia is one of the U.S. states with the most people living under the poverty line and the worst health outcomes.
“We’re not a rich state — we can’t afford to do everything,” Morrisey said Thursday during a live-streamed briefing with press. “And that’s one of the challenges that we have with this mandate. There’s only so much money to go around, and spending money on some treatments necessarily takes it away from others.”

WSJ op-ed writer Jason L. Riley playing it both ways
Shameful. This makes the WSJ nothing but a fancy supermarket tabloid.
Russian sabotage suspected.
I don’t care. I’ve had it with them. Nuke Russia!

Just an update for anyone who cares.
Finally got to see my bestie and get her take on this last week.
Last we had talked, Biden was still running, and she was very worried both about his chances and just handing it over to Harris.
She’s excited. Said it feels like ripping a bandaid off and we really have a solid shot now, seeing the energy and outpouring of all the support out there.
I feel good about that, because she called 2020 and how close that was going to be a lot earlier and more accurately than the pundits or I did.
We’re Not Going Back!

FOX and WSJ are both so off balance right now. They are seething that “their” candidate is suddenly an afterthought, and they’ve lost control of the narrative.

The Obamas announced their endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Hey Barack, at this point, nobody gives a damn. If you’d come out on Sunday it might have mattered. Now you’re just trying to hop on board a train that has already left the station.

He’ll ignore how well that worked out for McGovern in 1972.
