Kevin McCarthy gives ridiculous defense of Trump's stolen document case
The Republican speaker of the House actually, seriously, no-we're-not-kidding excused the disgraced ex-president's storage of stolen, highly classified files next 👏 to 👏 a 👏 toilet in his heavily trafficked resort by saying "a bathroom door locks.” It truly speaks volumes how indefensible Trump's actions are if THIS is the best defense his loyal weenies can muster. [RETWEET THAT!]

Republicans are salivating at the thought of stealing a battleground Senate seat
Bob Casey for Senate: Stung from their humiliating defeat in 2022, McConnell and his cronies have now set their sight on defeating Bob Casey and flipping the Senate back to red. Can you chip in to help re-elect Sen. Casey and protect our critical Senate majority?

Trump arrives in Miami for arraignment on first-ever federal charges against an ex-president
The accused rapist and traitor arrived in town to face the judge, but there's one little problem — he doesn't have a lawyer, and it seems that suddenly having an unwinnable case (and also probably all those years of refusing to pay his lawyers) isn't exactly inspiring a line of volunteers. His arraignment might be delayed until that issue is resolved.

Take Action: Tell CNN: No more Trump town halls!

Arizona Supreme Court allows Mormon church to cover up sexual abuse
The conservative-controlled Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the Mormon church can refuse to answer questions or turn over documents under a state law that exempts religious officials from having to report child sex abuse. Seriously. To make matters worse, the ruling was in response to a lawsuit from sex abuse victims who accused the church of doing nothing after their father confessed to a bishop that he was molesting his young daughters. No drag queens or librarians armed with scary books here, folks. Just conservative ideologues.

Take Action: Stop the GOP's book bans!

McCarthy and GOP hardliners reach deal to end their blockade
Hardline extremists tightened the proverbial vise around Kevin McCarthy's testicles, extracting even more concessions in order to lift their blockade of two GOP bills of the highest priority for the American people...which are....protecting access to pistol braces to help people kill faster and keeping Brandon from stealing your gas stove. The clown caucus made it clear, however, that the blockade would be returning whenever they felt like it, which could come as soon as next week. [RETWEET THAT!]

JPMorgan settles with Jeffrey Epstein victims for $290 million
If you're wondering what kind of society enables a man like Jeffrey Epstein to get away with sexually abusing and trafficking dozens of young girls, look no further than to JPMorgan Chase, the bank that ignored internal warnings and overlooked red flags for years and years, even keeping Epstein on as a client AFTER he was arrested and charged in 2006 on prostitution-related charges.

Fox sends Tucker Carlson cease-and-desist letter
The legal war between Fox News and their former top, white supremacist talking head is escalating from angry letters to even angrier letters with legal consequences. It remains to be seen if Tucker will fold, or whether he'll be silenced by the law. Wouldn't that be amazing?

Megan Fox tells failed GOP candidate who claimed she forced her sons to dress like girls he "f*cked with the wrong witch"
Conservative influencer and failed congressional candidate Robby Starbuck, who spends his days obsessing about gay people and children in an extremely creepy fashion, drew the witchy ire of Megan Fox after he spent the weekend accusing her of abusing her sons by letting them wear dresses. It's wonderful to see a celebrity defend her children's self-expression so vehemently, and also we kinda hope she turns Starbuck into a newt.
