Tucker Carlson's "LibsOfTikTok" buddy identified as possible Jan. 6th insurrectionist
Chaya Raichik, the bigoted sociopath behind the virulently anti-LGBTQ "LibsOfTikTok" Twitter account finally revealed her face during an interview with the Fox News host and internet sleuths quickly found photos from the Capitol riot that appear to show her in restricted areas — a revelation that could lead to jail time.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Lauren Boebert humiliates herself with dumbest demand possible
Life must be really easy when your entire job consists of making gibberish speeches about how we need to abolish various three-letter groupings. IRS. FBI. ATF. GPS. PDA. RPG. BTS. SOB. WUT. ANN. ASS.

Supreme Court says Trump-era border restriction will remain in effect while legal challenges play out
The far-right activist Supreme Court struck again on Tuesday and ruled that the cruel and bigoted Trump-era border restriction known as Title 42 will remain in effect while legal challenges play out, a move that ensures that federal officials will be able to continue to swiftly expel migrants at US borders at least for the next several months. The 5-4 order is a victory for Republican-led states that urged the Supreme Court to step in and block a lower court opinion that ordered the termination of the authority. The Biden administration has said it was prepared for the authority to end and had put in place precautions to guard against confusion at the border and any potential surge of migrants.

Take Action: Tell the Senate to investigate the corruption in the Supreme Court!

DeSantis aide used bizarre alias to help old employer win migrant flight contract
Corruption in the GOP grows like mushrooms after a rainstorm. The latest proof? An aide to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used the alias “Clarice Starling”— a reference to the Hannibal Lecter serial killer novels’ protagonist — in a series of emails intended to help his former employer secure a contract to operate the governor's vicious and likely illegal migrant trafficking flights. Unthinkable how you could give yourself that alias in the DeSantis administration and not realize that you are working for the maniac, not to stop him!

MAGA congressman-elect offers staggering excuse after being exposed for lying about his Jewish heritage
MAGA liar-elect George Santos has been caught in yet another insane lie after it was exposed that he lied about being a “proud American Jew” and claimed that his grandparents escaped the Holocaust when they were actually from Brazil. This guy had the sheer nerve to argue that actually he said he was "Jew-ish", not "Jewish."

Trump whines that "unattractive" reporter who wrote brutal profile is "dumb as a rock"
Losing the presidency and subsequently seeing his popularity plummet has done nothing to temper Trump's rampant misogyny and his new remarks about reporter Olivia Nuzzi are a potent reminder of how he is truly incapable of seeing women as people.

Ringleader in plot to kidnap Michigan governor sentenced to 16 years in prison
The leader of a foiled plot by members of right-wing militia groups to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was sentenced to 16 years in prison on Tuesday in a US District Court. Adam Fox, 39, was found guilty in August by a federal court jury in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on one count each of conspiring to abduct Whitmer, a Democrat, and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction in a scheme prosecutors said was intended to spark a "second American Revolution."

Southwest cancels more flights, draws federal investigation
After the airline canceled a staggering number of flights, leaving thousands of Americans stranded during the holidays, the Biden administration decided to take action. Pete Buttigeig and the Department of Transportation is now investigating the severe breach of consumer trust — and will hopefully listen to the warnings next time before this ends up happening again.

Judge refuses to sanction MAGA loser Kari Lake for her frivolous election lawsuit
Arizona Democratic Governor-elect Katie Hobbs urged a judge to sanction MAGA loser Kari Lake and her lawyers for their “frivolous" election lawsuit because “enough really is enough” and the “unfounded attacks” on elections must “end.” In the end, the judge settled for a light financial slap on the wrist.
