Memo to the right: RFK Jr. would do even more green damage than Joe Biden
But make no mistake: On energy — one of the core issues that has defined the Biden presidency from its outset — Kennedy is an extremist.

Tom Brady Roasters Were Told Robert Kraft Jokes Were Off-Limits: Comic
Frazer Harrison/WireImage via Getty ImagesWhen “Roastmaster General” Jeff Ross got onstage at Tom Brady’s Netflix roast and told a joke about New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft getting caught in a prostitution sting, he was crossing a line he’d been explicitly warned about, according to another comic at the event.The crack about Kraft’s apparent penchant for massages seemingly got the G.O.A.T.’s goat, with Brady rising from his seat and crossing the stage to warn Ross not to “say that shit again.”Earlier this week, Ross insisted that Brady was just “having fun.” But now comedian Andrew Schulz is wading into the fray to say that no, the NFL Hall of Famer actually was pissed off.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Christian Nationalists Mobilize to Fight Campus Gaza Protests
Kelly StuartMAGA pastor Sean Feucht and a band of Christian nationalists are glomming on to campus protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, leading “United for Israel” marches at Columbia and the University of Southern California while professing their belief that the conflict is a harbinger of the “End Times” predicted in the Bible.On Wednesday night, Feucht’s followers and far-right extremists rallied outside USC with the help of a police escort—an image that stands in stark contrast to the LAPD officers in riot gear who previously arrested activists from the school’s pro-Palestinian camp.The Christian Zionist parade kicked off with Feucht performing contemporary worship music (“Our God is an awesome God”) and anti-LGBTQ speakers like preachers Lou Engle and Ché Ahn, who once crowed at a “Stop the Steal” rally: “We’re gonna rule and reign through President Trump and under the lordship of Jesus Christ.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Opinion: Dog-Killer Kristi Noem Realizes Her Big Problem: She Isn’t Trump
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/GettyThe first law of holes is that if you find yourself in one, stop digging. After nearly two weeks of public humiliation, Kristi Noem may have finally gotten the memo. At least, it appears she has finally taken her vice presidential aspirations out to behind the gravel pit, and put her ill-fated media tour out of its misery.All that is left to do is to ponder how a once-promising rising star—the South Dakota governor was considered to be on Donald Trump’s “short list” as a potential running mate—could so quickly implode, based on a book that she ostensibly wrote.When the controversy first erupted, the focus was on Noem having shot and killed the family dog, Cricket. That was bad, but there was another shoe about to drop: Noem also claimed that she had met (and stared down) North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, a boast that appears to be erroneous. This gave the book controversy legs.Read more at The Daily Beast.
