Bell defeats Bush in primary

Wesley Bell defeated “Squad” member Rep. Cori Bush in the Missouri Democratic primary. The NYT says Bush’s ouster reflects deep Democratic divisions over the war in Gaza.

In response, Newsweek says MAGA figures cheered: Pro-Israel figures were also glad to see her go.

A Common Dreams Op wasn't happy, though: Pro-Israel groups spent millions to ensure Cori Bush's loss. Her defeat is a blow to progressives, and proof of AIPAC meddling in elections.

Hot Air's take: Bush's defeat isn't going to shift the tide of Congress. Her district is likely to remain blue.

Google’s antitrust loss

A federal judge ruled that Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search. The NYT says this landmark antitrust decision could reshape Big Tech's power.

TechCrunch: It's massive. Google dominates the search market, but that might not last -- it could mean more choices for consumers.

WSJ wonders what's next -- the most extreme outcome is that Google is forced to sell Chrome! But it's more likely they'll just have to stop paying for default search status.

CNN: But that's probably years away -- Google said it will appeal, the process will take a while to sort out.

NYT: In the meantime, this will affect other antitrust cases -- Amazon, Apple, and Meta are also facing accusations of monopolistic practices.

1) U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken believes new Hamas leader can secure a cease-fire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

3) Japan's markets experienced dramatic swings, with the Nikkei index rebounding over 10% after a sharp drop.

4) Disney's parks struggle despite streaming success, marking a new trouble spot for the entertainment giant.
