VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump crashes and burns in front of live audience
An Iowa woman asked the disgraced ex-president about the evolution of his purported faith during a town hall event, because somehow the religious right is still deluding itself into thinking the serial sexual predator is some sort of devout Christian. His response was comically disastrous. [RETWEET THAT!]

McCarthy announces plan to impeach Biden over conspiracy bullshit
The feckless House speaker popped up on Sean Hannity's disinformation show and whined about Biden's "weaponization of government" and the usual baseless Hunter Biden conspiracy theories before revealing plans to roll out an utterly futile impeachment inquiry.

Special counsel obtains thousands of documents from Rudy Giuliani team that tried to find fraud after 2020 election
Former New York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik worked hand in glove with MAGA minion Rudy Giuliani to find "evidence" of voter fraud to swing the 2020 election to Trump. For months, Kerik has refused to hand over a treasure trove of documents to special counsel Jack Smith but has now finally caved, relinquishing thousands of documents, including materials that hadn’t been previously disclosed to federal investigators.

Israeli lawmakers pass anti-democratic law to weaken the judiciary despite widespread public outrage
The parliamentary vote capped a monthslong campaign by Netanyahu's far-right government to weaken the judiciary, pushing the country headlong into authoritarianism. The new law will likely impact the ongoing corruption trial of the embattled Israeli prime minister, who himself conveniently proposed the changes to the judiciary months ago. American supporters of Israel have long cited the fact that it's the only democracy in Middle East as justification for arming the country to the hilt, but this blatantly fascist assault on the judiciary suggests the nation of nine million might soon not be democratic at all.

Black folks who were touted by Florida as benefiting from slavery weren’t actually enslaved
A new Florida education policy championed by Republicans actually teaches students from sixth to eighth grade that slaves benefited from their bondage because they "developed skills" that could be used for "personal benefit." To back up this preposterous lie, the state offered up the names of sixteen Black individuals who supposedly benefitted from enslavement. Predictably, at least half of the people named were never slaves in the first place. Despite what conservatives want children to think, chattel slavery was not an exercise in resume building.

AOC joins Hollywood picket line in New York: "Solidarity is stronger than greed"
Not present to support the strikers? Republicans. Conservatives will happily elect screen actors and reality TV hucksters to the presidency but apparently draw the line at properly compensating the tens of thousands of people actually putting in the work every day.

Racist flyers posted in Georgia town reeling from mass shooting
Thousands of racist posters were spread around Hampton, Georgia, this weekend with messages like "white only" and "defend your race," adding additional stress as the small town continues to reel from a mass shooting that killed four earlier this month. Sounds a LOT like a certain Jason Aldean song, doesn't it? [RETWEET THAT!]
Elon Musk rebrands Twitter to "X," setting up another fight with Zuckerberg
The billionaire tech bozo's crusade to destroy every last bit of value in the company he spent $44 BILLION to acquire has reached its natural conclusion as Musk discarded its most valuable asset — existing brand awareness — to replace it with a name that Mark Zuckerberg's Meta apparently already holds the rights to. Maybe that steel cage match is back on after all?
Lauren Boebert claims that she threw away pin honoring Uvalde victim because of AirPods
A viral clip showing the gun nut congressman accepting a pin honoring a 10-year-old mass shooting victim only to immediately toss it in the trash sparked so much backlash that the proudly unapologetic Boebert has issued a mea culpa. Sort of. If you believe the QAnon enthusiast and noted liar's account of events, she simply didn't hear the activist's explanation of the pin because she had her headphones in.
