Karoline Leavitt bizarrely defends Trump’s "piggy" insult: You "should appreciate" the president's "openness"
The Minister of Doublegrift Trumpthink Karoline Leavitt responded to a question about the president's disgusting, misogynistic attack on a female reporter with a smirking tornado of condescending lies that would have left George Orwell speechless. "The president is very frank and honest with everyone in this room. You've all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons that the American people reelected this president because of his frankness. And he calls out fake news when he sees it. He gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him, when you spread fake news about him and his administration. But he also is the most transparent president in history. And he gives all of you in this room, as you all know, unprecedented access! So I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from President Trump on a near-daily basis." That's right, piggies, you should be fucking GRATEFUL that the Most Beneficient Golden Leader magnanimously graces you swine with his presence. You should be thankful for the opportunity to have your dignity and professionalism disparaged on a daily basis!

MAGA extremist and billionaire lapdog Greg Abbott launches re-election run
Gina Hinojosa for Texas: Greg Abbott has become a national figure for his astonishing mismanagement, breathtaking corruption, and shocking cruelty. He’s the man who stripped Medicaid from two millions Texans, most of them kids. He’s the man who has spent years trying to privatize our public school systems and funneled a billion taxpayer dollars into the pockets of his donors. He’s the man who refused to use state money to feed kids during the SNAP freeze. Former school board president Gina Hinojosa is running to put an end to Abbott’s depravity once and for all. Will you chip in to help her take advantage of Abbott’s barrel-bottom 32% (!) approval rating?
ICE suddenly loses key evidence one day after being sued for abuse
You aren't going to believe this, but somebody's dog (shhhh, don't tell Kristi Noem!) ate two weeks worth of surveillance footage detailing widespread abuse of detainees at ICE’s Bridgeview Detention Center outside Chicago. Oh, and the snafu was discovered exactly one day after the agency was sued for said abuse. What are the odds? The Department of Homeland Security claimed in court that the video footage was "irretrievably destroyed" in a system crash. Other excuses were offered up, such as "we don't have the resources" to preserve surveillance footage, which is a curious thing for an agency that was just gifted $200 BILLION by Trump's Big Bill of Bullshit to say. DHS lawyers did have one cute idea, however: If detainees’ lawyers could provide "endless hard drives where we could save the information, that might be one solution." Cool! On top of being cruel and abusive, they're condescending pricks, too!

Trump fundraises off ridiculous 50-year mortgage pitch
"Can't afford to buy a home? Struggling just to get by, even on two incomes? Crushed by skyrocketing healthcare premiums and runaway cost-of-living expenses? Wondering how the top 1% continue to run up the wealth gap scoreboard while you feel increasingly pinched month after month and year after year? Well, then! Please give me, your favorite president — billionaire grifter Donald J. Trump — more of your hard-earned cash so I can continue to pretend to fight on behalf of you and your family with crippling new gimmicks, like a 50-year mortgage, which will saddle you and your loved ones with predatory loads of debt you'll never have a prayer of paying off! Did I mention I'm a billionaire? Isn't it good to be great again?!"

JD Vance now pleads for "patience" from voters on the economy after promising Trump would usher in swift relief
Oh, hey. Remember when cosplay hillbilly JD Vance was campaigning last year and stopped by a grocery store in Pennsylvania and pretended to lament the cost of everyday goods and foodstuffs? "Looking at the prices here, things are way too expensive and they're way too expensive because of Kamala Harris’ policies," Vance said at the time. With his kids in tow as unwitting political props, JD riffed, "Let’s talk about eggs. Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning." Vance stood before eggs clearly marked $3 per dozen and claimed they cost $4 and promised that he and Trump would fix the "inflation explosion" supposedly caused by then-President Biden's economic policies. Well, fast forward to yesterday... Wouldn't you know it, a certain somebody doesn't want to talk about egg prices so much and instead is striking a more conciliatory tone, pleading with voters for a little "patience" while he and his MAGA bossman figure out how to square their promise to restore affordability while imposing policies that just make the problem worse. If we can just give them a little more time — perhaps through next year's midterms — an "economic boom" awaits! Oh, you don't have any money left to buy that bullshit? Samesies.
Coast Guard swiftly reverses course on policy to call swastikas and nooses "potentially divisive" after outcry
Uh, there is absolutely nothing "potentially" divisive about swastikas and nooses. They are hate symbols. Full stop. That the Trump administration even considered altering official government policy on their display speaks deafening volumes and raises all kinds of disturbing questions about the regime's priorities. Thankfully, the Coast Guard acted swiftly, releasing a new policy addressing the display of such hate symbols hours after the "potentially divisive" nonsense became public. "Divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited," the latest policy, released late Thursday, declared before adding that this category included "a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups." Folks, we cannot let Trump and his MAGA goons normalize hate in our public institutions, even if they've quite clearly already done so in their hearts.

Steven Crowder says Indian immigrants are no threat to American construction workers because"they're a physically feeble people"
Right-wing blowhard and documented wife abuser Steven Crowder opened the hole in his face where words from his brain spill out and took a casual, racist swing at...the entire population of India in a conversation with Piers Morgan, who still has a TV show with millions of followers for some reason. During a mind-numbing chat about immigration and foreign workers Crowder belched, "You're very unlikely to have Indian H-1Bs in your construction company because they're a physically feeble people." Speaking of feeble, nothing screams "I'm a big, tough alpha man" quite like verbally assaulting and psychologically abusing your eight-months-pregnant spouse and imprisoning her in her own home for refusing to do her "wifely duties." Steven Crowder is a thoroughly unhinged, cripplingly insecure, self-hating cave troll with a micro-penis. Change my mind.
GOP Rep. Cory Mills just got busted for yet another sex scandal
Speaking of cave trolls, look who's back in the headlines with more sordid tales of sexual impropriety? Why, it's Florida Republican Cory Mills! The MAGA gasbag is in hot water again, this time for reportedly getting caught with sex workers in Tbilisi, Georgia, during a 2021 rescue mission to help evacuate Americans from Afghanistan. According to a NOTUS report, Mills was part of a group of private individuals on an unofficial trip to Afghanistan, with the intention of extracting Americans still stranded there as the Taliban retook control. At the time, Mills, an Army veteran, was a candidate for Florida’s 7th congressional district. The trouble arose before they even arrived in Afghanistan, when the group was stopped in Tbilisi, Georgia, before continuing on the next phase of their travels. One evening, Mills "was caught with sex workers" in the hallway of their accommodations, a discovery that infuriated other group members because "[t]heir mission was already sensitive, given the state of the country they were trying to enter." Sources told NOTUS that this incident led the group to decide to "part ways" with Mills, and he traveled to Afghanistan separately. Parting ways with Mills seems to be a recurring theme for just about everyone who enters his obnoxious orbit. Let's hope voters in Florida's 7th district opt to do the same next November.
