Judge removes key legal hurdle for Trump’s plan to gut federal workforce with deferred resignations

Trump administration set to purchase $400 million worth of armored Teslas
Well, well, well. What do we have here? The Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 MILLION worth of armored Tesla vehicles, according to a new State Department document detailing procurement for fiscal year 2025. Hours after the story broke, Marco Rubio's State Dept. altered its own spreadsheet to hide Tesla's involvement. Nope, no glaring conflict of interest worthy of immediate congressional investigation there! Rubber-stamp that deal and get those trash-tanks on the streets already, won't ya?!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Elon bombs in awkward Oval Office press conference
With all the charm of a third-rate Bond flick super-villain, Elon Musk held court in the Oval Office for some sort of press conference while a noticeably frumpy Trump sat behind the Resolute Desk to his left. The world's richest ketamine popper feebly explained how it's totally cool and not at all problematic that he is effectively policing himself and the literal BILLIONS of dollars in ongoing government contracts he has with various federal agencies. Phony Stark went on to claim that taxpayers should not be concerned by DOGE's actions because he's being, like, totally transparent. And by transparent he means posting one egregious lie after another on nüTwitter and misinforming tens of millions of susceptible followers. So glad we are great again.

Deb Haaland vows to protect us from Trump and his billionaire allies
Deb Haaland for Governor: Deb Haaland has fiercely fought for justice and delivered results for working people throughout her life, be it as an organizer, from the halls of Congress, or as Secretary of the Department of the Interior. She will always refuse to sit idly by while Trump and his un-elected billionaire allies unleash chaos across the country and give polluters free rein to destroy our pristine wilderness. We can help Deb fight back against Trump by electing her to the governor’s office in New Mexico. Will you chip in to help this fierce public servant answer the call to service once again?

US sending nonviolent, "low-risk" migrants to Guantanamo, despite vow to detain "the worst" there
The Trump administration promised that only criminals would be sent to their Gitmo concentration camp but wouldn't you know it, THEY LIED! It's still unclear whether it's through malicious incompetence or malicious malice, but either way, innocent people are now trapped in a nightmarish hellhole with little access to lawyers and outside the jurdistiction of the American legal system. If only someone could have shut down our international torture camp at any point during the past 26 years.

FEMA yanks back $80 million that New York City meant to cover hotel costs for migrants
Trump's minions who recently took the helm at the Federal Emergency Management Agency have clawed back more than $80 million from New York City, officials said Wednesday, escalating a dispute between the Trump administration and the nation’s largest city over money for sheltering migrants. Gone is a $59 million grant that the administration challenged earlier in the week and another award for $21.5 million, City Comptroller Brad Lander said. The money was discovered to be missing overnight, and Lander said no one in his office had been aware that the federal government had access to the city’s bank account.

US egg prices hit record high — and there’s worse to come
The average price of a dozen Grade A eggs in US cities reached $4.95, surpassing the previous record of $4.82 set two years earlier and more than double the recent low of $2.04, recorded in August 2023. This nationwide average masks even higher prices in some areas, where a carton can cost $10 or more. Anyone else recall JD and Donnie incessantly promising to make eggs cheap again? What's the deal, fellas? America's got omelettes to make!

Democrat defends himself on CNN for calling Elon Musk a "dick" in committee hearing
During a meeting of the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia recalled the time QAnon cringe-clown Marjorie Taylor Greene — who now inexplicably chairs the committee — held up an image of a nude Hunter Biden. "I find it ironic, of course, that our chairwoman, Congresswoman Greene, is in charge of running this committee. Now, in the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our oversight congressional hearing,” Garcia said before displaying a photo of Musk. “So, I thought I’d bring one as well. Now, this, of course, we know is president Elon Musk. He’s also the world’s richest man. He was the biggest political donor in the last election. He has billions of dollars in conflicts of interest.” That wasn't so hard now, was it? Reaaalllly would like to see more combativeness from Democrats while Musk, Trump, and their MAGA goons roll back decades of hard-fought progress and ransack the federal government.

Trump pushes dangerous authoritarian agenda
Squad Victory Fund: As America grapples with economic struggles, climate disasters, and fear in marginalized communities, the Trump administration is pushing more divisive legislation. The next four years are going to be challenging, but we can’t afford to let Trump and his allies push policies that bulldoze our communities and undermine our democracy. We must uplift bold leaders who are defending our values and challenging this unjust status quo. Will you add your name to stand up to Trump’s far-right agenda and support the next generation of progressive leaders?

"No to ethnic cleansing": Over 350 rabbis sign US ad assailing Trump’s Gaza plan
More than 350 rabbis, alongside additional signatories including Jewish creatives and activists, have signed an ad in the New York Times in which they condemn Donald Trump's proposal for the effective ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza. The ad, which follows the wannabe dictator's proposal to "take over Gaza" and leave 2 million Palestinians who have survived Israel’s deadly onslaught against the narrow strip with "no alternative" but to leave their homes says: "Trump has called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza. Jewish people say no to ethnic cleansing!" The MAGA cult leader has called on Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab countries to take in Palestinians — a proposal that has been met with widespread criticism from Arab countries and other allies while being condemned for what it actually is — an ethnic-cleansing plan.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announces lawsuit against New York over immigration enforcement
Donald Trump's newly sworn-in Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday the Justice Department is filing a lawsuit against the state of New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul, and state Attorney General Letitia James over immigration enforcement that should in no way be seen as a retaliatory measure against state officials who rightfully investigated the MAGA cult leader's decades of rampant criminality. "We sued Illinois, and New York didn't listen, so now, you're next," Trump's DOJ attack dog said. James issued a swift statement in response, tersely declaring: "Our state laws, including the Green Light law, protect the rights of all New Yorkers and keep our communities safe. I am prepared to defend our laws, just as I always have." Game on.

Trump hijacks Tulsi Gabbard’s swearing-in with rant on closing Department of Education "immediately"
Super-stable genius Donald Trump hijacked Tulsi Gabbard’s swearing-in ceremony to rant on his plans to “immediately” close the Department of Education and — why not — complain about the way American aircraft carriers launch their fighter aircraft. The wannabe dictator swore in Gabbard at the White House as his Director of National Intelligence on Wednesday before becoming embroiled in an hour-long question-and-answer session with reporters where he aired random grievances directed at the federal government he runs. Trump complained that education regulation should be returned solely to the states with no federal involvement, and said there are "35, maybe 37" states that could — checks notes — "do as well as Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden" when it comes to educational rankings. Who wants to tell him? Do we even bother?

Elon Musk gives Trump $10 million to settle lawsuit over his locked Twitter account
