Fox News hits Tucker Carlson with breach of contract claim
Tucker Carlson's first episode of his fledgling Twitter show was immediately rewarded with an angry letter from Fox's attorneys, who claim that he is in violation of a non-compete clause. We can't think of anyone more deserving of being drowned in litigation by the bloodsucking lawyers Fox uses on the regular to defend itself from the repercussions of their abhorrent programming.

Trump’s lawyers told he is target in Mar-a-Lago documents investigation
While you may be thinking, "duh, of course he is," the legal formality opens the door to the indictment of Trump himself. It also coincides with news from The Independent that prosecutors are preparing to charge Trump under the Espionage Act for stealing documents, which was swiftly followed by a frantic statement from the serial grifter himself about how nobody told him he's being indicted and it's not fair and a travesty of justice — and crucially, an appeal for congressional Republicans to bail him out, somehow.

Trump poised for NIGHTMARE news from federal prosecutors
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: Things just got real...
Debt limit law sets up "enormous" stakes for the 2024 election with deadlines for default, Obamacare, and Trump tax cuts
We know you've heard this before, but 2024 might be the most important election of our lifetimes. Sunset clauses in several critical pieces of legislation mean that next year's victors will have the opportunity to drastically improve — or worsen — the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans. "The winners of the next election will have the ability to shape policy for the rest of the decade,” says Democratic Rep. Brendan Doyle. So, uh, yeah, let's get ready to vote our asses off!

Jim Jordan tries (again) to intervene in DOJ’s Trump probe
Trump's loyal House lackey is once again trying to stick his nose in the DOJ's business with sternly worded letters and complaints of an “institutional rot that pervades the FBI,” which you will be shocked to learn has not inclined them to share the progress of their investigation with House Republicans. Given the way this usually seems to go, we should expect threats of contempt charges, subpoenas, and impeachment from Jordan before he inevitably moves on to a shiny new conspiracy theory.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro calls it “insanity” to wear a mask to protect yourself from wildfire smoke
The libs are at it again! Being able to breath? Sorry, that's also woke now. Not getting cancer? That's woke AND trans. Snowflakes, the whole lot of you!
The oncoming trainwreck of restarting student loan payments
Thanks to Republicans, student loans are coming back online — and neoliberal capitalism has a whole new type of hell for America to endure. Borrowers will be forced to navigate the byzantine labyrinth of private loan servicers, several of whom no longer exist and have sold off their loans to other companies in an industry notorious for having a terrible track record for accurately documenting who owes what. Oh, and when people inevitably get hit with incorrect balances and false accusations of delinquency, they can expect to spend hours on hold since many loan companies have laid off most of their call center employees. But wait, there's more! Expect loan companies to actively lie and deny certain types of repayment plans, fail to update paperwork properly, and hound borrowers to cough up half their hard-earned money under threats of bogus legal action.

Steve Bannon subpoenaed in January 6 probe
Trump's fascist vizier and all ten of the shirts he was wearing during Trump's insurrection were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury about a month ago. It will be interesting to see if he will comply with this one, since he's already been sentenced to jail for defying a subpoena in a DIFFERENT criminal case.
Attorney: Bodycam shows teen surrender before police shot him
Fourteen-year-old Jor’Dell Richardson was shot and killed by police in Aurora, Colorado, by officers who were responding to what they now claim was an armed robbery call — but what police radio traffic indicates was actually just kids shoplifting. On top of that, Richardson was verbally surrendering to the police before they ended his young life.
House GOP tensions erupt as standoff hamstrings agenda
After radical Republicans blocked three days worth of votes and derailed the GOP's entire dogshit agenda, Rep. Steve Womack fumed to reporters, “This is, in my opinion, political incontinence on our part. We are wetting ourselves and we can’t do anything about it." To which we say LOL and also LMAO. Better get used to those soggy trousers, buddy.
Founder of “Protect Our Kids First” arrested for allegedly downloading child sex abuse material
Michael Dolce, a 53-year-old lawyer known for representing child sexual abuse survivors, was literally lying in bed downloading child pornography to add to a gruesome, extensive collection when FBI agents burst through his door. Interestingly, he was not performing a drag show or teaching a public school class.

Today’s Action: Tell Congress to protect trans people and pass LGBTQ+ protections now!
Anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is at an all-time high as bigots across the country openly advocate for the ostracization and condemnation of one of America’s most vulnerable communities. Transgender people are at the center of the vitriol as state legislatures across the country debate their very right to exist. It is our duty to protect this community from what is increasingly being called a transgender genocide. It’s appalling that these deeply dangerous and wholly unnecessary attacks pass for actual governance in 2023, in what is supposed to be a “free” nation.
The ability to persecute others is not something that makes America “free.” What is important is the ability for all, regardless of identity, to live an equitable life. We have a very long way to go towards achieving that goal. The fact is, conservatives have been scapegoating and persecuting the oppressed for centuries — and doing so under the guise of religious freedom.
Despite Democrats’ best effort to pass the Equality Act last congressional session, our elected officials have yet to deliver wide-reaching protections for LGBTQ+ people. With the onslaught of laws targeting LGBTQ+ freedoms, targeted mass shootings, and the deeply troubling rise in hates crimes, we simply can’t wait any longer to secure protections for our marginalized communities.
We must not allow protections for the LGBTQ+ community — ESPECIALLY transgender people — to fall by the wayside. Whether by reviving the Equality Act or putting forth new legislation, we must act swiftly. Every second Congress waits puts another person at risk.
Email or call (202.224.3121) your members of Congress and tell them to deliver federal LGBTQ+ protections as soon as possible!
Still the OD Action newsletter you've come to know and love.
