"Clowns are out!" Hegseth lashes out at trans troops, "beardos" in speech


The accused rapist in charge of America's military, Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth, spent all day today proving what a big tough boy he was by running around a parking lot with U.S. service members wearing shirts that said “WAR” on them, because, as Pete’s favorite philosopher Sun Booze famously once said “It’s not how many wars you win, it’s how many pushups you can do that truly makes a leader.” Then he dragged all the poor troops into a sweaty auditorium to yell at them for being fat slobs and not loving war enough, and yelled at the media for reporting on how many people died in the war that he lost, and promised that everyone’s balls would be just BRIMMING with testosterone.

“It's worth saying again, so that the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that. No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed troops!” declared Hegseth in his speech. "The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in with testosterone testing on top!”

The projection is off the charts. There were some significant nuggets buried in the speech, like the creation of an Autonomous War unit for robots, something called “Project Meridian” to be led by Elon Musk and - wait, that can't be right, Newt Gingrich? what? and a “Fortress America” initiative to, uh, build forts or something like that for all the troops we're bringing home from the Middle East since Iran has destroyed all of our bases.

He also announced the creation of an "Office of Religious Affairs" that would have a direct line to him in order to help take care of the troops' spiritual (read: Christian) needs. Given the propensity of the Trump administration to make grandiose promises and then never deliver on any of it, we'll buy it when we see it, but this entire display of bigotry and insecurity was a new low for our nation.



Take Action: Prosecute EVERY member of the Trump administration for their crimes!

Mary Peltola is on the verge of a historic

 win in deep-red Alaska


Mary Peltola for Senate: Beloved Alaskan Mary Peltola won Alaska’s ranked-choice primary by 8%, has a commanding lead in the polls, and just defeated her Republican opponent, Dan Sullivan, at the debate table. But the race isn't over yet, and there's still a lot of time between now and November for Republican dark-money PACs to unleash lies and smears against her. We've got to strike while the iron's hot. Will you chip in to help native Yup'ik fisherwoman Mary Peltola flip this critical red seat and make Trump a lame duck president?




Democrats defeat last-ditch GOP effort to pass voter ID restrictions

A 53-47 vote to pass the “Stop Insider Trading Act” failed after every Democrat and Independent voted against it yesterday afternoon. Why on earth would we oppose that, you might be asking? Having been written by Republicans, the bill was full of loopholes that allowed them to continue their corruption...and they also added in draconian voter ID restrictions as a poison pill amendment, dooming it to fail from the outset. With any luck, the next time the Senate convenes, we will have a blue House and Senate and will ACTUALLY be able to pass a real “Stop Insider Trading Act” – and then hold Trump accountable for his corruption, his crimes, and all the chaos he’s unleashed at home and across the world.


Take Action: Expose Israel's violence and human rights abuses in the West Bank!


White House premieres a new taxpayer-funded ad lauding the Iran War

Not quite sure how reminding everyone that the wildly unpopular Iran War and its subsequent oil price increases is squarely Trump's fault is a good midterm election strategy, but fine, whatever, let them cook.

War of words: Newsom orders California to say AI after Trump’s "superintelligence" decree

California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order Wednesday stating that "fetch" will NOT be happening, in a clear troll of Donald Trump, who has declared that AI will be referred to as "Super Intelligence" in a destined-to-fail effort to rebrand the controversial tech. “Super intelligence is clearly not coming from the White House — that’s why California continues to lead,” said a deeply sarcastic Newsom in his order. Perhaps someday things won't be quite so evil and stupid.


Take Action: Demand the Trump team stop blocking funding for our National Parks!



Trump launches tour of red states ahead of the midterms

Doom and doomer

excerpt: 

DataOne, the Microsoft-linked New Jersey datacenter recently hit with a $1m fine for running unpermitted generators, emitted large amounts of health-harming air pollution for nearly a year before state regulators stepped in, according to public records obtained by Floodlight.

The Vineland facility’s 62 gas-fired generators became public in August after a Floodlight/Guardian visual investigation found them operating without permits. The New Jersey department of environmental protection last week fined the company over the fleet but did not disclose how long the generators had been operating nor how much air pollution they had released into the surrounding community over the past year.

War, what is it good for 

CAN ALL OF US WORK TOGETHER TO STOP THE KILLING?

Hope...

Donald Trump asks "How is Ebola going?" during question about Congo War


Hariana Verás is the first African journalist given access to the Trump White House, and Trump responded to her questions the way that one might expect an ageing racist to respond to questions from a young Black woman. “She loves Africa, she always asks about Africa. She never talks about any other place,” started Trump before she was allowed to ask her question...one he did not like.

Trump loves to tout the "peace agreement" he "helped arrange" between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda last December, an agreement that Rwanda has systematically violated, displacing millions of people. Verás asked Trump about the agreement violations, to which he replied "So, well look, I just heard about it a little while ago, if there's a problem we'll stop it."

Intent on assuring him that there was, in fact, a problem, Verás recounted her own trip to the Congolese border and how she personally witnessed the evidence of killings and violence.

In response Trump asked, "how's Ebola going?"

This is infuriating not just because Trump is clearly just lashing out racistly in response to percieved criticism of one of his tremendous accomplishments but also because his administration cut all the funding for Ebola prevention and bears responsibility for enabling the spread of the disease, which has currently reached 8,000 new cases. Trump can't even hear the name "Africa" without his brain immediately going to "shithole." Because he's racist.

Progressive champion Abdul El-Sayed hit with DISGUSTINGLY RACIST new attack ad

Abdul El-Sayed for Senate: A new poll out of Michigan shows Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed with a SEVEN point lead over his MAGA opponent, Mike Rogers. That's why MAGA Mike is so desperate, and that's why his corrupt crony PAC has been running a horrendously racist AI-generated attack ad against El-Sayed, baselessly accusing him of supporting terrorism just because he's a Muslim. Will you chip in to help Abdul El-Sayed fight back against these smears?




Prosecutor reopens probe into Cornell gang rape allegations after accuser files lawsuit

After sustained public outcry, a New York prosecutor has reopened the case of a 2024 alleged gang-rape by seven Cornell students who plied a woman with ketamine and alcohol and then took turn raping her. The perpetrators texted their frat bros to come join them for "free pussy," yet somehow the school failed to issue any punishments more severe than ordering the accused to write remorseful essays. The accuser, Jane Doe, is now suing the men, the Chi Phi fraternity, the university, an Ithaca bar and others, seeking undisclosed damages.



Anthropic "warns of existential AI risks to humanity" in IPO document

The AI giant claims that its work poses “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity” because its AIs are showing “self-preserving behaviours”, including attempts to “resist shutdown”, to “conceal or manipulate information” and behaviour “resembling blackmail," but also that we should value this company at $2 trillion. They also admitted they have so far LOST $42 billion, but are looking to investors for another $500 billion to invest in data center infrastructure next year.

So, to recap, this technology could kill everybody and doesn't make any money...but we should keep throwing hundreds of billions of dollars into it because, why, exactly?

Senate GOP to press Jack Smith on Trump Jan. 6 probe as DOJ targets investigators

The hearing's title, “Oversight of Jack Smith’s Abuse of Authority and the Targeting of Republicans and Related Matters," leaves little wonder as to what we're about to see in the Judiciary Committee today. It's going to be another wasted day of public money as Republicans pursue a baseless witch-hunt against Jack Smith for holding the terrorists of January 6th accountable, all to placate Donald Trump and the rabid MAGA extremists who are simply beside themselves at the sight of the law being enforced in a way that negatively affects Republicans.



Senate passes college sports bill that would rein in athlete payments and transfers

The introduction of "name, image, and likeness" deals in college sports was essentially their Citizens United moment, throwing the highly lucrative college sports industry into chaos as Super PACs for Football have now led to roster payrolls that are higher than $40 million a school. The Senate has attempted to rein in the flow of money and set some guardrails with a new bill, but, seeing as this bill was spearheaded by Ted Cruz, it doesn't actually do its job. “This is a bill that essentially ensconces a system of exploitation, and it doesn’t fix the broader problems,” said Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy. Sounds about right for a Ted Cruz bill.
