“There are alarming results from state primaries this week, such as the victory of Mark Finchem as the Republican candidate for Arizona’s secretary of state. Finchem, who has been endorsed by Donald Trump, has ties to the far-right extremist group known as the Oath Keepers and was in Washington for the January 6 insurrection. This is insane. We can’t let a guy who wanted to overthrow the last election oversee future elections. We need to stop these people now, which is why it is encouraging to see the justice department stepping up its investigation of the coup attempt. Investigators reportedly asking witnesses about Trump as part of their investigation and a grand jury – it’s unclear which one – has subpoenaed the former White House counsel Pat Cipollone, a member of Trump’s inner circle. It’s not a good sign when you get subpoenaed by a grand jury and you don’t even know which grand jury. Most people, if you got called to federal grand jury, you’d be like, ‘Oh, I know what this is about.’ But these guys are like, ‘I’m sorry, can you be more specific? I’m under a lot of investigations right now.’ Looking at primary races from this past week the GOP’s slow-moving coup is still happening as we speak. If election deniers win races in swing states like Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania, they will absolutely use their power to ensure that no Democrat can win an election in those states ever again. It’s not about election integrity, it’s about power.” —Seth Meyers
“We checked in on a heated Senate matchup in Pennsylvania between the Democratic lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, and disgraced TV doctor Mehmet Oz. Fetterman is leading in the polls, which might be because Pennsylvanians want to have a senator who’s actually from Pennsylvania, as Oz lived and voted in New Jersey as recently as 2020. Fetterman has gone full troll on Oz’s Garden State ass, by starting a petition to add Dr. Oz to the New Jersey hall of fame. If inducted, he would join such luminaries as Bruce Springsteen, Tommy from the song Livin’ on a Prayer, and the word ‘gabagoo.’” —Stephen Colbert
