Trump goes off the rails in response to devastating fraud ruling
New York Attorney General Letitia James scored a major victory against the disgraced ex-president as a judge ruled that he and the Trump Organization did in fact commit flagrant fraud by deceiving banks, insurers, and other victims by absurdly overvaluing assets and net worth. Predictably, the serial grifter responded to the very bad news with a particularly deranged rant on Truth Social.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump tries diabolical stunt to trick voters
The serially indicted con man and Republican primary frontrunner is treading more carefully than usual when it comes to discussing certain policy specifics lately. In a recent interview, he waffled and dissembled when asked about instituting a national abortion ban, refusing to take a clear position. But let's be real — Donald Trump would absolutely continue doing the radical right's bidding and sign a heinous federal ban on abortion if given the chance.

The GOP is waging war against working families
Community Change Action: The ongoing budget negotiations make it clear that Republicans are determined to slash the programs that our working families rely on the most. We've already seen childhood poverty DOUBLE with their refusal to extend the Child Tax Credit — and there's more where that came from if they get their way. Will you chip in to Community Change Action and support their efforts to organize the people and protect our social safety net?

Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani, attorney Robert Costello for "hacking" laptop data
Rudy's unhinged crusade against President Biden's son has finally backfired. Hunter has officially filed a lawsuit against the lecherous Trump crony and his shady lawyer, alleging the two hacked and manipulated data on an external hard drive associated with his laptop. Regardless of how the lawsuit ultimately plays out, this is terrible news for Giuliani, who is already drowning in legal fees to the point that he has been sued by his own lawyers for mountainous, unpaid bills. Whoever he hires to defend him in this case had better get comfortable with the idea of pro bono work.

Supreme Court rejects Alabama’s bid to use congressional map with just one majority-Black district
The conservative-stacked court proved the broken clock axiom true and rejected Alabama's stunningly gerrymandered congressional map that managed just one majority-Black district in a state where 27% of voters are Black. Alabama Republicans will now be sent back to the drawing board where they are expected to conjure up a map with a bare minimum of two Black districts.

Biden joins striking auto workers on picket line with a visit unparalleled in history
Joe Biden became the first sitting American president to appear in solidarity on a picket line, where he was enthusiastically greeted by the Michigan auto workers striking against the Big Three auto companies. Pulling no punches, Biden urged the workers to "stick with it" and said without caveat that they "deserve the significant raise" that they're demanding. In one fell swoop President Biden has completely dispelled the ludicrous Republican claim that the GOP is the party of workers.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman wants to forgive all school lunch debt
Along with Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Peter Welch, the rising Democratic star introduced a life-changing bill that would cancel student lunch debt across America. Astonishingly, there are 30 million children in the United States — the wealthiest nation in the history of the world — who cannot afford their school meals. As a result, they're forced into debt that adds up to a staggering $262 MILLION a year. The bill would direct the United States Department of Agriculture to pay for all debts owed to school for lunch or breakfast programs. Unfortunately, it faces an uphill battle in the GOP-controlled House, which really should tell you all you need to know about the utterly mercenary and depraved Republican Party.

Michigan "fake electors" float new brainwashed-by-Trump defense in bid to skirt guilt
Two Republican “fake electors” in Michigan are using a novel legal strategy in an attempt to weasel their way out of criminal charges after they unsuccessfully tried to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 election. Tsk, tsk. Clifford Frost and Mari-Ann Henry certainly may have guzzled a whole lotta MAGA juice, but that doesn't absolve them of heinous wrongdoing. They should be tried, convicted, and summarily locked up — along with the Kool-Aid Man himself — for their role in trying to overthrow American democracy.

Amazon sued by FTC and 17 states over allegations it inflates online prices and overcharges sellers
The mom-n-pop-shop-killing behemoth stands accused of abusing its position in the marketplace by inflating prices on and off its platform, overcharging sellers, and stifling competition. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Amazon’s home state of Washington, is the result of a yearslong investigation into the company’s sprawling businesses and one of the most significant legal challenges brought against it in its nearly 30-year history. If successful, the suit could radically reshape the way massive corporations operate in America.

Video game performers prepared to strike for more pay, protections
The Great American Union Wave continues as voice actors and motion-capture performers in the multi-billion dollar video game industry voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if negotiations on a new labor contract set to begin Tuesday fail, setting the stage for another possible work stoppage in Hollywood. As always, solidarity forever!

Man arrested minutes before mass shooting at Northern Virginia church, police say
Tragedy was avoided for once, but we as a nation cannot rely on luck and good fortune to stop America's epidemic of mass shootings. Until Republicans stop unilaterally blocking any and all gun safety reform, we are just one flip of the coin away from further bloodshed.
