Quick touch on Immunity case and encouraging folks to listen to the episode

Reminder: Chevron case is, in all reality, a bigger deal: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/06/chevron-doctrine-supreme-court-ruling

1. Missouri GOP Held A Fake Convention…

2. The Missouri Republican Party must replace 54 national convention delegates and alternates selected at its chaotic state convention because of “alarming irregularities” in the process, the Republican National Convention Committee on Contests ruled Friday. The list of rejected delegates includes two of the major GOP candidates for governor, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and state Sen. Bill Eigel. “The committee holds that the State Convention was not properly credentialed, and that any slate of delegates and alternate delegates adopted at the State Convention must be discarded,” states the report signed by Chairwoman Jeanne Luckey of Mississippi.

5. Pulled from our May 8th episode: Missouri GOP convention was just as unproductive, couldn’t even adopt a new platform: https://www.lakeexpo.com/news/politics/high-drama-at-missouri-republican-convention-as-grassroots-boots-leadership/article_4a70706a-0be6-11ef-8713-470db31ecca4.html
6. You don’t F***ing say
   1. GOP house members talking corporate tax… hikes
   2. https://www.semafor.com/article/07/02/2024/house-republican-support-grows-for-corporate-tax-increase-threatening-key-part-of-trumps-economic-legacy
   3. Up to 10 Republican House lawmakers are open to increasing the corporate tax rate, a senior GOP member estimated, possibly threatening Donald Trump’s future plans if he is reelected. Trump’s 2017 tax cuts lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, a move hailed by businesses. While that levy is permanent, a host of other lower rates are set to expire at the end of 2025 and some Republicans are balking at the $4.5 trillion price tag of extending them, setting up a major policy fight for the next president.
7. Yeah… Yeah… (I think)
   1. Arizona GOP member speaks up, loudly, about BS Election claims

8. 2024 Election Era
   1. It’s been a week since the debate. Biden did an interview on ABC with George Stephanopolis, Trump’s camp, meanwhile, has apparently discovered that a major push to educate people on Project 2025 from The Heritage Foundation is NOT good for him as he pretends to know nothing about it and disagree with it.
   2. Calls for Biden to step aside have quieted some, and the Immunity case - as predicted, shifts the media narrative by quite a lot
   3. Strory in politico that alleges some American allies are concerned Biden cannot win https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/06/american-allies-fear-biden-trump-00166700
   4. Jake Tapper posted and removed a FAKE story about Democratic Governors meeting via zoom to call on Biden to step aside

ONE WEEK AFTER DEBATE:

BUY OR SELL: Barring major health issue this is the bottom for Biden?

POLLING - slight change toward Trump after debate, no major crater
