Trump accuses Ron DeSantis' wife of "plot to rig" Iowa caucus
Part-time Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has pinned his fading presidential aspirations on winning the Iowa caucuses next month and has deployed an army of supporters to that end, including his wife, Casey. In the head cavity where Donald Trump's brain ostensibly operates, that clearly constitutes a conspiracy. The serially indicted con man pounced on anodyne comments made by Ms. DeSantis — she called for out-of-state "moms and grandmoms" to participate in the Iowa caucus, as volunteers, obviously — and accused his rival of orchestrating a "plot to rig the Caucus through fraud." Look, we aren't here to defend anything the DeSantis campaign says or does, but it must be stated: Donald, much like assholes, if all you see around you everywhere you look are fraudsters, well, then, buddy, you're the fraud.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Republican schooled on air by fed up reporter
House Republican and Tennessee man in way over his head Tim Burchett clearly took a wrong turn off the talking points highway and tried peddling his bogus "Biden crime family" wares on CNN, where he was summarily dismissed by Brianna Keilar, who calmly and repeatedly laid out the facts, citing testimony and receipts made public — by Republicans — undercutting the GOP's futile crusade to impeach President Biden on nakedly political grounds.

Infowars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones returns to X after Elon Musk poll
Right-wing billionaire tech bozo and practicing antisemite Elon Musk decided it was finally time for The People™ to weigh in on carnival barking conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' exile from nüTwitter, where he's been banned since 2018 for repeatedly breaching the site's rules on abusive behavior. In an incredibly scientific poll we're sure, 70% of some two million respondents said it was high time Jones, who was court ordered to pay $1.5 billion in damages to the families of the victims in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting for falsely claiming — over and over and over — that the massacre was staged, be allowed back on the platform to spew his hate and sell his snake oil. Other super important polls Elon is reportedly considering putting to the masses include: "Should I eat this grocery cart?" and "What should I name my new exclusive line of fragrances: Elon's Musk or Fairy Moans by Elon?"

The Texas Historical Commission removes books on slavery from plantation gift shops after amateur historian complains
After visiting the Varner-Hogg plantation an hour south of Houston, amateur historian and incredibly sensitive white person Michelle Haas was incensed — incensed! — by what she had seen. At an exhibit detailing the farm’s use as a sugar plantation worked by at least 66 slaves in the early nineteenth century, Haas watched an informational video. To her very impartial mind, it focused too much on slavery (unpleasant) and not enough on the Hogg family, which had turned its former home into a museum celebrating Texas history (heroic). Haas also found books written by Black authors in the gift shop whose titles made her feel uncomfortable, so she did what any sensible person hellbent on whitewashing American history would do: she asked to speak to the manager. Well, not the gift shop manager, per se. Haas took her grievances to sympathetic Republicans in state government and lobbied the head of the Texas Historical Commission until her demands were met, successfully having more than two dozen book titles removed from plantation-turned-museum gift shops. Thank goodness. Someone could've been hurt learning about all that history!
Special counsel Jack Smith reveals sweeping scope of bid to debunk Trump election machine claims
Special counsel Jack Smith on Saturday sharply rejected the disgraced ex-president's horseshit claim that foreign governments may have changed votes in the 2020 election, laying bare new details about his team’s extensive probe of the matter and its access to a vast array of senior intelligence officials in Trump’s administration. In an exhaustive, detailed filing, Smith’s team describes interviewing more than a dozen of the top intelligence officials in Trump’s administration — from his director of national intelligence to the administrator of the NSA to serially indicted con man's former personal intelligence briefer — about any evidence that foreign governments had penetrated systems that counted votes in 2020. "The answer from every single official was no." Shocking, we know.

University of Pennsylvania president resigns after furor over free speech and antisemitism
Elizabeth Magill, the embattled president of the University of Pennsylvania, has resigned her position as leader of the beleaguered college in the wake of her incredibly clunky and problematic congressional testimony about rising antisemitism on university campuses and free speech in general. Universities across the country have been accused of failing to protect Jewish students amid a spike of antisemitism amid fallout from Israel’s brutal war in Gaza, which faces heightened criticism for the mounting Palestinian civilian death toll. Magill and other leaders of top American universities were accused by Republicans and Democrats alike of being "evasive" in answers about whether calls by students for the genocide of Jews would be termed harassment under the schools’ various codes of conduct. Rather than stating the alarmingly obvious and simply answering, "yes," Magill equivocated. While she later apologized and found the courage to declare calls for genocide to be "evil, plain and simple," the damage was already done.
