GOP rep claims some dead Palestinians are "paid actors"
There it is. Republican Rep. and shaved ape Cory Mills (of Florida, of course) claimed that "paid actors" are pretending to be killed in the Israel-Hamas war during his mind-numbingly offensive appearance on Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), a conservative propaganda media outlet. Bogus claims that crisis actors are pretending to be killed or injured in the war have of course circulated on social media — often featuring misleading recirculations of old footage with captions that have been shown to be patently false. But don't let that get in the way of a good soundbyte, right? Fun fact: Mills himself is the founder of a munitions company that has sold arms to foreign governments, so he definitely knows the difference between a civilian shredded to bits by shrapnel and someone obviously faking it.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump’s lawyer goes off the rails in bonkers press conference
Future former Trump attorney Alina Habba donned her bulldog-in-training cap outside the New York courthouse where Donnie's $250 million fraud trial is underway and bravely went to bat for the poor "children" being dragged into court and "away from their families for doing nothing wrong." Which children, you ask? Oh, 45-year-old Don Jr., 42-year-old Eric, and 39-year-old Ivanka. Call Child Protection Services immediately! And someone get some juice boxes over there in meantime, jeez. Poor things must be thirsty after all that testifying!

Protest marches from US to Berlin call for immediate halt to Israeli bombing of Gaza
From Washington to Milan to Paris, tens of thousands of demonstrators marched Saturday, calling for a halt to Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza and reflecting growing disquiet about the mounting civilian casualty toll and suffering from the Israel-Hamas war. The Palestinian death toll in the conflict has reached 9,448, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. In Israel, more than 1,400 people have been killed, most of them in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack that started the war.

Ron DeSantis' awful, no-good, floundering bid for the presidency dealt another crushing blow in Florida
Five Republican legislators in Florida have switched their endorsements from part-time Gov. and presidential wannabe Ron DeSantis to serially indicted, chronic sex pest Donald Trump, just before a key party nomination debate in Miami next week. Adding insult to injury, DeSantis' national favorability polling has continued sliding throughout the year, as former ambassador to the UN and erstwhile Trump apologist Nikki Haley has now edged past Ron to claim the oh-so-coveted, very distant, second-place slot behind Donald and his 91 criminal indictments. Republicans, amirite?

Days before election, far-right officials in California county insist on hand tally
The conspiracy-fueled, far-right majority of the Shasta County board of supervisors is hellbent on rocketing catapulting their rural California community back to the pre-industrial age by throwing out all electronic voting machines and insisting on hand-count-only tallies ahead of next week's election to choose a new school board, form a new fire department, and update local tax laws. These Trump-loving geniuses are really on to something here. Why stop with voting machines? Technology has had its godless jack boot on the throats of Shasta residents for FAR too long! Down with traffic lights! Say no to smart phones and mysterious wi-fi! And all those high-falutin', beeping machines in hospitals — what do they even do? Enough is enough. Do the right thing, Shasta. The 19th century is counting on you.
Winning an open Arizona seat will take back the House
Yassamin Ansari for Congress: Winning in Arizona means we get our majority back — and losing means that some of the most unhinged election-denying, democracy-hating Trumpers in the country will be headed to Washington.

Can you chip in to help keep Trump's most radical minions out of office?
San Jose cop fired after texting "I hate Black people"
Walking airborne toxin Mark McNamara has been fired from the San Jose police force after more than two dozen appallingly racist texts surfaced, including one very subtle message that simply read, "I hate Black people." Surely this was just one pesky bad apple in an otherwise sterling bunch, right? Right?
The Supreme Court shot down new House Speaker Mike Johnson’s argument against certifying the 2020 election
Even the far-right Trump lackeys on the frickin' United States Supreme Court could not stomach Mike Johnson's hare-brained and completely unconstitutional rationale for Republican House members to justify voting against certifying the electors from a handful of states and overturning the 2020 election. And now, the Bible-thumping, gay-hating, creationist is second in line for the presidency. What a world.
