Here's the FUN STORY OF THE DAY:
After a 17-month legal battle, THE ONION has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars!!’ Yay!!
It will become a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families. Double Yay!!

This needs to pass.
Tomorrow's vote in Virginia is not gerrymandering by Dems. It's a response to gerrymandering by the GOP.
It's reasonable and it's necessary. F*ck Trump and F*ck Texas.
Three GOP Reps who are anchored in reality and believe in sanity and their oaths to the Constitution could, working together, flip this whole f*cking thing on its head while there's still time. Same with 4 GOP Senators.
They would be forever remembered as heroes to Democracy.
Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner appear to be on the way to Islamabad for some Pakistani food and a very expensive taxpayer-funded game of circle jerk.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
We focus on his wars, dysfunction, and criminality, but it's worth remembering that it can also be justifiably said that Donald Trump is THE most documented LIAR in human history.
And I DO mean ALL of human history, going back even to the Mayans and Mesopotamians.
"Here's the plan: Let's tear up the Obama deal, take out the Ayatollah, manipulate markets, help Israel, bribe Iran, sacrifice a few Americans, f*ck with our allies, manipulate the markets some more, and spend $55B - and we'll get the Obama deal back but under a different name."
The Strait of Hormuz, ALREADY OPEN before we began bombing Iran, is open again. Yay!
There's talk of an anti-nuclear agreement for the price of unfreezing $20B in frozen funds. Double yay!
All in all, we'll have spent and/or transferred $52B to replicate the Obama deal, which he tore up. Triple yay!
Trump is riffing to the press, going on about two things: Iran not having nuclear weapons, and his right to disagree with the Pope. I waited for it and there it was: "The Pope thinks Iran can have nuclear weapons, I disagree."
Thanks to Trump, we live in the stupidest timeline in human history.
I'd love to see a poll of our military personnel in which they opine honestly (and anonymously/safely) about what they really think of Hegseth.
The Founding Fathers knew a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as personal dictator and use presidential powers to live above the law. But they never foresaw a branch of government abdicating oath for complicity and grift, or algorithmic media producing a citizenry so manipulated by deceit.
Remember John Eastman, the douchebag attorney who masterminded Trump's attempt to overturn the election in 2020? Well, his petition was DENIED by the California Supreme Court, which means he's officially DISBARRED.
It's WAY past time to get him the f*ck out of office.
Come on now.
Donald Trump is a human malignancy. Nobody escapes his ire or his envy or his insistence on Godlike grandiosity. All who do not abide, to his sole satisfaction, will pay a price. This is a non-partisan affect. I promise, he's positively gleeful at JD Vance's recent failures too.
Other than the Fed, the Supreme Court, GOP Senators, Thomas Massie, every US ally, his staff, MAGA influencers, the Press, NATO, contractors, analysts, historians, pollsters, and the Pope, Trump gets along with everyone.
Of course, that basically leaves Putin, Netanyahu, and Mike Johnson.
And imagine if during that same week, Jill Biden had called a press conference to deny allegations and distance herself from the world's most notorious dead pedophile.
Imagine if Joe Biden, in one week, threatened to wipe out an entire civilization, then attacked the Pope and then posted an AI image of himself as Jesus.
I know. Even imagination has its limits.
Certain people, like Miller, seem to have been birthed by demons; others, like Hegseth, have no clue- they'd be laughable caricatures if not in such serious positions; but Blanche seems to have made a conscious decision to tear down the Rule of Law, and knows he is doing it.
I'm sure we've all got our wish lists of which Trump 2.0 officials we most want to be held accountable. The person who keeps moving higher up my list, a brutally shameless gaslighter who shreds the Rule of Law in service to ambition and psychopathy, is Todd Blanche.
Rand Paul hit the nail on the head at the very end of this clip - "there's an unwillingness to admit we made mistakes and we'll do it better ..." - this is EXACTLY the case AND the problem.
It is Republicans being imitative of the pathology of their highly disordered leader. Period.
Here's a clip: TRUMP IS ABERRANT.
I'm no public speaker. I thought it was important. We're releasing UNFIT TOO before midterms, to say things not said elsewhere. We're asking for support.

Hey - remember Trump’s $10B defamation lawsuit against The WSJ over its lewd birthday card to Epstein reporting? It was just dismissed by a Judge in the Southern District of Florida who stated that Trump had not "plausibly alleged" the WSJ acted with malice or reckless disregard.
LOL.
Trump, the serial criminal, posted that The Pope is "weak on crime." Yes, I said The Pope. I think it's important for us to remember that besides being a narcissist, sociopath, grifter, rapist, traitor, and serial criminal, he's also an out-of-control idiot.
And - hopefully - it's a consequential GREAT day, with more to come going forward, for Ukraine, who Orban (and Vance) desperately tried to villainize.
A bad day for authoritarianism. A good day for Europe. A bad day for oligarchs. A good day for NATO. A bad day for Trump and Vance and Putin. A very good day for the People in Hungary.
Congratulations to the People!
Good morning. Hungary votes today. Turnout incredibly huge. People rising up with volume and unity and strength.
It's significant, and something we all best pay close attention to.
One of the things that MAGA does, which they do ignorantly and defensively, is suggest that Trump will sue someone for making an allegation against him. Not if it's true, he won't. Not if he couldn't withstand discovery, he won't.
I'll prove it right here and now:
Donald Trump is a pedophile
It looks to me as if Iran is mocking Trump, as if Iran understands how to exploit his hyperbole, as if Iran understands strategy and posture better than him, as if Iran doesn't yet want to give him an exit.
Trump keeps saying Iran has no cards. Iran knows Trump is a trapped moron. That's a big card.
Maybe, instead of Trump sending greedy real estate guys like Kushner and Witkoff to broker peace, or dislikable and disingenuous cabinet members like Vance, Trump should reach out to the one highly credible person who has proven he knows precisely how to do this - Barack Obama.
