Former Trump aide accuses Matt Gaetz of groping her
In her new book Enough, Cassidy Hutchinson alleges that the repulsive congressman and accused child sex trafficker from Florida groped her on two separate occasions. In one incredibly cringeworthy encounter, Gaetz apparently brushed his thumb across her chin and said, "Has anyone ever told you you're a national treasure?" Nope. Not creepy at all, Matt.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump descends into utter confusion on stage
The media has been so fixated on President Biden's age that they've completely overlooked the increasingly apparent signs that the serially indicted, disgraced ex-president is in a state of mental decline — which, to be fair, isn't saying much given his baseline cognitive abilities. Case in point? During a recent campaign stop in South Carolina, Trump claimed that — why not — Jeb Bush “got us into the Middle East." If Biden had said this, we'd be pummeled with wall-to-wall coverage on TV.

Open Democracy exposes MAGA plot to steal 2024 election
Open Democracy PAC: MAGA extremists know they can't win the election fair and square — which is why they're enacting a devious plan to put their specially chosen stooges in key battleground state positions, like the County Commissioner in Bucks County, PA, in order to overturn the election on behalf of Donald Trump. The Open Democracy PAC is fighting back to make sure they don't succeed, but they'll need your help. Will you chip in to help protect our democracy from the latest MAGA election steal plot?

Trump melts down over Pennsylvania's new automatic voter registration
Tacitly admitting that democracy itself is a problem for the Republican Party, the third-rate con man attacked Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro for his widely celebrated implementation of automatic voter registration in the battleground state. According to Trump, making it easier for Americans to vote will be a "disaster" for Republicans generally and him specifically. That sure sounds like a great reason to roll it out in every state!

John Fetterman plans to return donation tied to Bob Menendez "in envelopes stuffed with $100 bills," spokesman says
The rising Democratic star trolled his embattled Senate co-worker by vowing to return campaign donations from Sen. Menendez — who has been indicted on damning bribery charges — in particularly poetic fashion. This is exactly what we need from prominent Democrats. A tip of the hat to due process, of course, but should the charges stick there can be no place for bad actors like Menendez in the Democratic Party.

Trump unironically demands ALL Senate Democrats resign over Bob Menendez scandal
The serially indicted, disgraced ex-president called for the removal of ALL Senate Democrats from office for the crime of apparently knowing what was going on with the embattled New Jersey senator. The bloviating sex pest's hot take on the unfolding Menendez scandal is a marked difference from his response to his own slew of 91 criminal charges and counting. Funny how that works.

Kyrsten Sinema pitches donors on a "path to victory" in Arizona by courting Republicans
According to leaked documents from her team, the turncoat senator who is now officially "independent" knows that she won't be able to trick enough Democrats into voting for her this time around to win reelection. Instead, she intends to focus her efforts on attracting Republican voters. Given the overtly fascist ideology of the GOP these days, one shudders to think what nightmarish rhetoric she intends to trot out on the campaign trail to accomplish such a feat. Suffice to say, the voters of Arizona would be wise to expel her from politics for good and elect Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego to replace her.

Florida school district orders librarians to purge ALL books with LGBTQ characters
The effects of Ron DeSantis' disastrous "Don't Say Gay" law enacted last year are coming into full focus, as librarians in Charlotte County, Florida, were forced to remove ALL books with any LGBTQ+ characters or themes from K-12 school library shelves. Republicans will not stop until queer culture is banished from society entirely, folks. Erasure is the end game here. [RETWEET THAT!]

Trump tried to buy Glock handgun with his face on it during campaign stop, was prohibited because he's under indictment
Yeah, you can't be doing that, Donnie.

Conservative activist uses Civil War-era law to challenge US corporate diversity
In a sickeningly ironic move, the anti-affirmative action "activist" behind the successful Supreme Court challenge to race-conscious college admissions policies is now trying to use a Civil War-era law — designed to protect formerly enslaved Black people from racial bias — to dismantle American corporate diversity programs. Why is this utterly unsurprising?
