GOP poised to kill border-Ukraine package it demanded
Senate Republicans spent months negotiating, then championing the chamber's much-ballyhooed, bipartisan border-Ukraine bill, as it has come to be known, but are now set to kill it, not because they no longer support it, but because the lecherous cult leader who has wrangled complete control of their party is demanding they do so to help boost his chances of re-election in November. They aren't even pretending to care about governance, principles, or policy at this point. Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz tweeted, "I've never seen anything like it. They literally demanded specific policy, got it, and then killed it."

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump makes fatal miscalculation, screws his own campaign
On the eve of what would have been a vote for the most consequential set of changes to US border policy in years — including many changes the GOP has long clamored for, congressional Republicans living in abject fear of offending their cult leader appear to have abandoned ship, turning a nakedly political about face for the ages to appease Trump. The disgraced ex-president doesn't want a deal on the border; he wants political gamesmanship and something to scream about at pep rallies. Well, Republicans own the situation now. Whatever goes on along our southern border going forward is squarely their responsibility, and they have ceded whatever ground they imagined they held in the matter.

Biden vows to veto standalone Israel aid bill
After apparently abandoning their OWN bill exacting a slew of border policy concessions in exchange for aid to Ukraine and Israel, Republicans are now insisting on advancing a standalone package to send billions more in military aid to Israel while ignoring Ukraine altogether and pretending like immigration was never their top priority to begin with. President Biden, to put it bluntly, is done with the bullshit, swiftly vowing to veto any standalone aid package to Israel should it somehow reach his desk. Good. No more games. Can literally any Republican adults in the room please stand up?

"In a word, horrific": Trump’s extreme anti-environment blueprint
An abysmal blueprint is emerging for a hypothetical second Trump term that is even more extreme for the environment than his first, according to interviews with multiple allies and advisers of the disgraced ex-president. They outlined a far more methodical and destructive second presidency: aggressively ramping up fossil-fuel production, muzzling mainstream climate scientists, and gutting rules that curb planet-heating emissions. It's a wet-dream grab-bag full of the radical right-wing's most sought-after and destructive policy changes. The prized target for the serially indicted grifter, should he weasel his way back into the White House, will be President Biden's landmark $370 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which signaled a generational shift toward clean energy projects and electric vehicles and was described by one Trump lackey as "the biggest defeat we've suffered."

Scientists propose new Category 6 for future of monster hurricanes
Oh, good. Now it goes to 6. Good thing one of the two major political parties in the United States isn't hellbent on ushering in the end times with a myopic, alarmingly stupid, climate-busting, anti-science agenda predicated on poisoning the planet for short-term profit. Oh, wait...

Ann Coulter offers brutal advice for Trump: "Die"
The radical, right-wing, garbage-spewing provocateur, who once fervently backed Trump and even wrote a stupid book fawning over the serially indicted con man, has had a change of heart — if that's even possible — and has turned her obnoxious ire squarely on the 77-year-old notorious sex pest, describing him as "the biggest wimp ever to serve" and "a gigantic baby" who "can barely speak English." Lest you think Ann has suddenly seen the light, fear not — she's as toxic and hate-filled as ever. Trump simply didn't go far enough in exacting inhumane suffering all over the world, and for that unforgivable crime Coulter thinks just keeling over would be his best move for the racist, xenophobic "Take America Back!" cause at this point. Just, wow.

Facebook rules ALLOW deepfake, altered video casting Biden as pedophile, says board
Meta’s oversight board has found that a Facebook video wrongfully suggesting that President Biden is a pedophile DOES NOT violate the company’s current rules while ALSO deeming those rules "incoherent" and too narrowly focused on AI-generated content. If that sentence was confusing and confounding, you are not alone. What the f*ck are we even doing here?

Biden trolls Trump after disgraced ex-president calls for debate "immediately"
President Biden responded to the serially indicted con man calling for a debate between the two of them "immediately" by saying he understands why the man he trounced in 2020 is so eager: he has a lot of free time. Biden told reporters, "If I were him, I would want to debate me, too. He’s got nothing else to do." Trump, very tough guy that he is, has not participated in any of the GOP primary debates, saying last summer he didn't want to face "harassment" from others in the field, and has ignored lone competitor Nikki Haley’s repeated demands for a one-on-one debate. Worth noting, Biden and Trump debated three times in the weeks prior to the 2020 election. And we all know how that worked out for Donald.
