"Who the hell wrote that?" Trump stops mid-speech to ask what a "corner store" is

The guy who's somehow managed to convince an alarming number of Americans that he's a real "man of the people" is so fundamentally out of touch, so disconnected from reality, so unfathomably privileged, he stopped mid-speech — about tax cuts for small businesses! — to ask outloud what the hell a "corner store" was. Donald Trump, born in New York City in 1946, doesn't know what a bodega is. Let that sink in for a second.

We shouldn't really be all that surprised, to be honest. This is the same man who declared "groceries" an old-fashioned word a few months ago. Champion of the people and voice of the forgotten Donald Trump finds both the concept of groceries and the buildings in which they're sold to be foreign mysteries. Beyond parody.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Pope calls out "handful of tyrants" and "masters of war" ravaging the world as feud with Trump explodes

Speaking in Cameroon on his 11-day apostic journey to Africa, Pope Leo XIV held nothing back in his escalating war of words and ideas with America's vainglorious imbecile-in-chief. Leo lamented a "world turned upside down" by a "handful of tyrants" and took dead aim at the president of the United States when he declared: "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild," the pontiff added.

When the Vicar of Christ starts paraphrasing Bob Dylan anti-war anthems, you know things have truly gone off the rails.

Earthjustice doesn't give up. They go to court

Earthjustice: With 50+ lawsuits filed against the Trump administration and more on the way, Earthjustice is using the law to fight back — and they're winning. The courts give every American the right to stand up for their health, their communities, and their environment, and Earthjustice shows up to make that right real. As a nonprofit, every lawsuit they file is funded entirely by donors. No corporate backing, no special interests — just people who believe the law should protect everyone. This Earth Month, donations to Earthjustice will be matched 2:1, tripling the impact on the fights that will define our environment for generations.


"Fuck his ass!" Congresswoman rages against Trump
Pablo Manríquez of Migrant Insider and MeidasTouch asked California Democratic Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove if she was worried about the economic impact Donald Trump's war in Iran was having on the country's national debt, and Kamlager-Dove...did not hold back.

"Oh my God, yes of course I am," she replied. "Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us. So, gas prices are going up. It’s almost $10 in California. And fertilizer’s going up. I mean, you name it, prices have gone up. And this dude, Dr. Jesus, ok, is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you get healthcare. Fuck his ass!" Stand by for faux right-wing outrage over salty language from the party currently bending over backwards to absolve Donald for sharing sacrilegious AI slop.

Take Action: Demand Congress pay for healthcare, not war!

Franklin Graham says Pope Leo should be thanking Trump, defends AI Jesus slop

Well, speak of the devil... Franklin Graham, perhaps the most prominent evangelical leader in the country, dutifully came to the defense of his Lord and savior the degenerate nincompoop-in-chief amid the ongoing fallout from the blasphemous AI slop he shared on Orthodox Easter. Donald Trump has understandably faced withering criticism for sharing an AI-generated image that depicted him performing a miracle healing as Jesus Christ.

Graham, again, one the world's most recognizable evangelical figures and ostensibly someone who really, really believes in the Bible, dismissed the controversy yesterday, arguing that he didn't believe Trump would “knowingly depict himself as Jesus,” and that he accepted the White House’s absolute horseshit explanation: that Trump thought he was a doctor. "When I looked at the illustration, I didn't jump to the same conclusion as some," Graham wrote. "There were no spiritual references — no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing."

Folks, there is nothing the MAGA cult leader will do that these people won't find a way to excuse.

Take Action: No war on Cuba! Pass a war powers resolution and end the humanitarian crisis!

Senate votes to end ban on mining in Boundary Waters after Sen. Tina Smith's hours-long speech
In a 50-49 vote, Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s caucus voted to open up 250,000 acres of pristine, natural wilderness in Minnesota to a Chilean mining company, Antofagasta, so they can dig a copper sulfide mine that will devastate the local environment.

Republicans ignored a five-hour speech by Democratic Sen. Tina Smith, a two-year Forest Service study, and over 650,000 comments from the public urging them to vote "no" and instead chose to give another handout to a billionaire Trump crony. When we say these people are the absolute worst, this is exactly what we mean.


Iran peace deal could take six months, Gulf and Europe leaders say
Some Gulf and European leaders reportedly fear that it could take six months or more to negotiate a US-Iran peace deal, amid calls to urgently reopen the Strait of Hormuz to avoid severe food and energy supply shocks globally.

Timely reminder that ALL of this could've easily been avoided if the MAGA cult leader could've just accepted the fact that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had successfully negotiated a landmark deal with Iran in 2015 to curb its nuclear enrichment program to take nuclear weapons off the table in exchange for sanctions relief. But doing so would've meant giving credit to a Democrat — and a Black Democrat at that — and, well, that was clearly too big a pill for Donald to swallow.


Zohran Mamdani announces new plan to tax the incredibly rich
Weeping and moaning instantly broke out from the mouthpieces of the oligarchy when New York City's hardline Muslim Communist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, announced he would be implementing a new tax on...second properties — also known as pied-à-terres — worth over $5 million. "NYC is cooked," wailed Austin-based entrepreneur Jason Calacanis. "Actually one of the scariest things I have seen," cried Linda Yaccarino, the former CEO of Twitter under Elon Musk. Yes, when will the tyranny end?! Soon Mamdani and his brute squad will be coming for hard-working plumbers and schoolteachers when THEY buy $5 million vacation homes! Oh, the humanity!


Progressive Democrat Analilia Mejia wins New Jersey special election for US House
The Democrats' special election winning streak continued last night, as progressive champion Analilia Mejia handily won the open US House vacated by current New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill. Mejia easily defeated Republican Joe Hathaway on a simple message of standing up to the tyrannical policies of Donald Trump.

With nearly 90% of the votes counted Mejia enjoyed a nearly 20-point margin of victory, despite being branded a "socialist" by Hathaway and being targeted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the most influential pro-Israel lobby in the country. Kamala Harris carried the same district by 9 points in the last presidential election. Let's harness these headwinds and trigger a blue tsunami in November, people!

One week left: Our wild forests need defenders

logo and head


The U.S. Forest Service is trying to roll back protections for tens of millions of acres of wild forests.1

We're facing a stark choice: Do we want our national forests to continue being protected, wild places, home to a vast range of wildlife, and a place for Americans to hike and camp? Or do we want to see 45 million acres of wild forests chopped down for timber and mining?

We're determined to defend our wild forests, but we can't do it alone. Are you with us? Join our movement by making a donation today.

Join us: Our wild forests need defenders

National forests in 36 states and Puerto Rico could soon be on the chopping block, auctioned off to the highest bidder for logging and mining.2

One of those forests is the Tongass, in southeastern Alaska. Home to the incredibly rare Alexander Archipelago wolf, this Alaskan wilderness is the largest remaining intact temperate rainforest in the world. Some of the trees in the Tongass are more than 800 years old.3,4

And the Tongass is just one of the dozens of amazing national forests that could lose critical protections.

Help defend wild forests.

The Forest Service is only accepting public input until the end of this week -- their deadline is Friday, Sept. 19.

Along with our national network, we've already rallied concerned citizens around the country to submit more than 50,000 public comments -- but we aren't taking our foot off the gas now.

Help fuel our work to defend our wild forests, and the wildlife that call them home.

Thank you for standing up for our forests,

Trump is paving the way to extinction

Lynx


Canada lynx depend on mature and old-growth forests to den and raise their young. Since they avoid large, open areas, the Roadless Rule — protecting tens of millions of acres of national forest from roadbuilding and logging — is critical to their survival.

They're among at least 500 species put at risk by Trump's pending elimination of this crucial safeguard.

Please help us fight back with a gift today to the Wildlife and Wild Places Defense Fund.

The Roadless Rule has been in place for over two decades. It was created to keep the last wild, unfragmented areas of national forests — and their rich, biodiverse ecosystems — intact.

It protects lynx, grizzlies, mountain lions, migratory birds and many other species from the scourge of habitat loss and fragmentation.

But now Trump, aiming to turn national forests into timber factories, is moving to throw out the rule. That would be a disastrous decision. Up to 45 million acres of our remnant wild places could be opened up to roads and logging.

Habitat destruction is one of the key drivers of the extinction crisis. And when wild places are developed and paved over, fatal interactions between wildlife and humans increase.

National forest roadless areas ensure that large, landscape-scale wildlife habitat and migration corridors stay intact. Wildlife depends on these unfragmented forests for food, mating and seasonal migration — from tiny fish to majestic predators.

Our forests are already crisscrossed by more than 370,000 miles of roads, polluting rivers and streams with sediment and hurting drinking-water supplies.

The Roadless Rule saves species' lives, along with the health of our forests. Getting rid of it makes no sense.

No one wants our forests paved over. And no one wants lynx and other species to be pushed to extinction.

Because threats wildlife are ongoing, we need you for the long haul. Please start a monthly donation to sustain our defense.

For the wild,

Kierán Suckling
