Trump interrupts Cabinet meeting to ask about statue of himself
Cabinet members are always looking for fresh new ways to feed Donald's insatiable ego, and, yesterday, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum struck ~~gold~~ bronze when he floated the idea that Venezuela just might erect a statue of the MAGA cult leader for being such an awesome, super-bad-ass liberator and stuff. Burgum was mid-sentence explaining that Venezuelan oil production is climbing 50 percent and in theory should lower the actual price of gas for Americans — you know, the thing Trump literally campaigned on — and our 79-year-old nincompoop-in-chief interrupted him to say, "Forget that. When are they gonna do the statue? To hell with the other thing."

The "other thing" being cheaper gas prices for you and everyone else, of course. The single most tangible economic promise of Trump's entire presidency, dismissed mid-briefing because a man mentioned a theoretical statue.

Trump blinks, issues executive order to "immediately pay" TSA agents
On the same day Senate Republicans bucked their MAGA cult leader and passed a bipartisan bill to fund the Transportation Security Administration, Donald Trump uncapped his magical sharpie and issued an executive order commanding newly sworn-in DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin to immediately pay TSA employees from the department's existing budget. If you're wondering why it took the wannabe dictator 42 frickin' days to play a card which was apparently in his deck the entire time, you and approximately 65,000 TSA agents are not alone.

Take Action: Stop Trump's fake "emergency" plot to take over our elections!

MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson's House majority is down to just ONE VOTE
Flip the House: We have a very real opportunity to flip the house and finally put some clamps on Donald Trump's reign of terror and chaos this November, but it's not going to be easy. Trump has made it clear that there's nothing he won't do to try to tilt the scales in his favor, so we need to win by a decisive enough majority that there's no way he can pull any shenanigans. We've put together a donation page that will split any gifts between a group of Democratic candidates all locked in close, winnable House races, and every dollar might mean the difference between democracy or fascism. Will you chip in to help retake our country and stop Trump in his tracks?

US Treasury secretary breaks 165-year tradition, will remove own signature to make way for Trump's on paper currency
Donald Trump's vainglorious crusade to slap his name and (dis)likeness on anything he can get away with has claimed yet another unfortunate victim: US paper currency. Servile Sec. Scott Bessent is breaking with 165 years of US Treasury tradition and having his signature removed to make room for the nincompoop-in-chief's on paper bills to be minted later this year. Nope. Definitely not a cult.

Take Action: Tell your Secretary of State: No ICE at the polls!

Trump trots out wildly contradictory Iran war claims — and says he doesn't care if there's a peace deal
During an hour of monologue and a half-hour question-and-answer session with reporters ahead of a Cabinet meeting, Donald Trump yet again offered wildly contradictory claims about a war that has killed 13 US service members, seriously injured hundreds more, left thousands of Iranians dead, and has brought spiking gasoline prices and a new round of inflation at home. As is typically the case with our imbecile-in-chief, who is both a prolific liar as well as profoundly ignorant, it was impossible to know how much of what he said about the war was true, how much he believed was true but in reality was not, how much was a deliberate lie, and how much reflected an irritation.

But on the matter of striking an elusive peace deal with Iran, we tend to believe Donald when he proclaimed, "I'm the opposite of desperate. I don't care." Comforting stuff.

Take Action: Pass a War Powers resolution and stop Trump's illegal wars!

Senate approves funding for TSA and most of Homeland Security, but not immigration enforcement
After 42 days of turmoil almost entirely of Donald Trump's making, Senate Republicans finally stiffened whatever was left of their spines and agreed to a deal that should clear the way to reopen most of the federal government and finally resolve the chaos consuming America's airports. The deal Republicans ultimately agreed to was, in fact, a concession — funding DHS while holding off on ICE and parts of Customs and Border Protection, which is exactly what Democrats had been asking for the entire fucking time. The same deal Republicans spent six weeks calling a nonstarter passed unanimously at 2 AM, and, crucially, makes no mention of Trump's election-theft scheme otherwise known as the SAVE America Act.

So to recap: 42 days of national disruption, hundreds of TSA officers permanently lost, tens of thousands of travelers stranded, an entire workforce going without pay for SIX weeks — all so Congress could eventually pass a bill that was always on the table, in the middle of the night, while most of America was asleep. It is so good to be great again.

Trump snaps at reporter for asking why he can vote by mail if mail-in voting is so terrible: "Because I'm the president"
Rules for thee, not for meeee!

Epstein survivors sue Trump administration for exposing their personal data
Dozens of Epstein sex-trafficking survivors have sounded the alarm about the Trump regime's failure to redact their personal information in the documents, including their full names, contact details, and banking data, and now a group is suing the administration for the unconscionable "oversight." Interesting how Donald's ghouls at the DOJ managed to heavily redact the identities and personal information of HUNDREDS of accomplices, clients, and enablers of the world's most infamous pedophile, while failing to do anything close to the same for the actual victims.

The DOJ claimed it's been hard at work taking down documents containing victim-identifying details and has since added additional redactions, which is a little like capping an empty milk jug after it's already spilled all over the kitchen floor. Which is to say: totally fucking useless.

Trump admits he told top official to ignore the courts and refuse tariff refunds
When the malignant sociopath squatting in the Oval Office outs himself as a lawless, wannabe dictator hellbent on exacting maximum economic harm on our country, we would probably be wise to take him at his word.
