Prosecutors have tape of Trump discussing holding onto classified Pentagon doc after leaving office
Donald Trump's laughable defenses of "it was an accident" and also "I declassified it with my mind" were destroyed by none other than Donald Trump, who incriminated himself in a newly revealed 2021 recording where he acknowledges possessing classified documents that he no longer has the power to declassify. On the one hand, this looks very bad, but on the other hand, it definitely is.

If we lose Wisconsin, we lose the country
WisDems: There's no beating around the bush. Wisconsin is the most important swing state in the country and will be the key to keeping the White House and Senate blue in 2024! Will you become a monthly donor to Wisconsin Democrats to protect our majority and keep Trump from stealing power?

Atlanta police arrest the organizers of bail fund for Cop City protesters
In an unprecedented attack on bail funds and legal support organizers, a heavily armed SWAT team arrested three board members of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund and hit them with bullshit “money laundering” and “charity fraud” charges. It's a shocking display of fascist political repression, an attack on the First Amendment, and a reminder that the cops know they can act with impunity.

Debt ceiling bill passes the House and will head to the Senate
149 Republicans joined 165 Democrats to pass the debt ceiling legislation negotiated by President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy, sending it to the Senate with days to spare before a disastrous default entirely of the GOP's making. The deal, which caps spending for the next two years, was lambasted by hard-right members of the Republican clown caucus, 71 of whom voted against it, raising the likelihood of a challenge to McCarthy's nascent speakership.

House Oversight chair prepares to hold FBI director in contempt over document in Biden probe
The GOP is furious that Christopher Wray doesn't really feel like giving up confidential sources to a group of buffoons conducting an absurd show trial for a niche group of online conspiracy theorists. He probably also doesn't really feel like cooperating with disingenuous politicians who constantly smear and call for the defunding of his agency.

Dollar General safety violations alarm workers
The perniciously evil chain notorious for suffocating small businesses and deliberately endangering its staff has been hit with $21 million in fines since 2017 — a paltry slap on the wrist for a company that makes $11 billion a year. The discount retail giant has been labeled a “severe violator” of safety rules by the US Labor Department, and that doesn't even account for the damage they do to local communities by killing grocery stores and then only providing goods packed with processed corn syrup in their place.

Chris Hayes grimly (and correctly) said that it is "a form of state-sanctioned torture to make women endure this." The horror stories won't stop until our rights are restored.

House Republican majority cut by one after shock resignation of Utah congressman
The impending resignation of Rep. Chris Stewart will give Kevin McCarthy approximately 20% less room to maneuvre when trying to cobble together enough GOP votes to advance their no good, dirty, rotten, very bad agenda.

Dallas schools roll out new Winnie the Pooh book to teach kids about mass shootings
Who could forget that childhood classic, "Pooh Hides in a Closet While the Heffalump Butchers his Friends with a Legally Purchased Assault Rifle?" Somehow in Texas it's inappropriate for kids to learn that gay people exist but entirely appropriate for them to contemplate being gunned down in a spontaneous and preventable act of heinous violence. Normal country we got here.
