Pretty cool name, huh?

Trump posts QAnon video boasting of nations and leaders submitting to him
Totally normal stuff. Just the leader of the Republican Party and serially indicted ex-president sharing QAnon video content depicting the Vatican, the Queen (why not), numerous heads of state, and basically the entire world all "submitting" to Donald in some sort of MAGA-fueled, nü-world-order fever dream. Super appropriate behavior from a very stable genius.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Fox News hit with surprise, imminent legal action
One would think that after just getting hit with a $787 million lawsuit settlement last year for incessant lying, the brain trust at Fox would've learned its lesson. But that's clearly not the case as the right-wing propaganda network is staring down the barrel of yet another major suit, this time by Hunter Biden, who has been relentlessly targeted and smeared by the outlet's talking heads for years.

Pro-Palestinian protesters take over Columbia University building
Dozens of protesters have taken over a building at Columbia University in New York, barricading the entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag out of a window, as the UN human rights chief said he was "troubled" by how law enforcement has dealt with the recent wave of campus demonstrations. In the latest escalation of unrest on US campuses against Israel's brutal war in Gaza, video footage showed protesters on Columbia’s Manhattan campus locking arms in front of Hamilton Hall early on Tuesday and carrying furniture and metal barricades to the building, one of several that was occupied during a 1968 civil rights and anti-Vietnam war protest on the campus.

Trump reportedly souring on professional loser Kari Lake
Kari Lake, the one-time favorite Arizona firebrand of Donald Trump, is slowly losing his approval, five people close to the former president told the Washington Post. According to the sources, Trump is beginning to doubt that Lake, a failed gubernatorial candidate and current US Senate hopeful, can win her race against Democrat Ruben Gallego this November. The MAGA cult leader fears her failure may be contagious, dragging him down in the polls in what he believes is a key state to win the presidency. Though Lake is a Trump loyalist who has repeatedly spewed his stolen election lies, she’s lost the support of many center-right and moderate Republicans and keeps flipping stances on important issues like abortion. Her flailing approval in Arizona has only steepened her fall from Trump’s good graces; the serially indicted con man reportedly cut her from his shortlist of potential VP picks because "she didn't win" the Arizona governor’s race in 2022. He’s also gotten fed up with her constant presence at Mar-a-Lago. At one point last year, he reportedly suggested she leave the golf course and instead spend her time campaigning — far away from him. Ouch.

Police arrest more than two dozen pro-Palestinian demonstrators on University of Texas campus in Austin
A student walkout at the University of Texas at Austin in support of Palestinians turned chaotic Wednesday when police officers tried to disperse protesters using horses and riot gear, resulting in the arrest of at least 34 people. Two members of the media were arrested. More than 500 students walked out of class Wednesday to demand UT-Austin divest from manufacturers supplying Israel weapons in its strikes on Gaza. The demonstration showed no signs of violence before authorities intervened, though police ordered the protesters multiple times to disperse and warned them they would be arrested for trespassing. Protesters said that law enforcement was unnecessarily aggressive. One woman said she saw a large police officer place his entire body weight to detain a young woman protesting. Law enforcement was also seen kneeling on individuals’ backs and necks, pulling their hair and in one case punching a protester in the nose.

Dem. Rep. Ilhan Omar facing censure over "pro-genocide" remarks
A House Republican is reportedly working on a new resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar after she suggested during a visit to Columbia University last week that some Jewish students are "pro-genocide." After visiting the campus’ pro-Palestine encampment, Omar said in a TV interview that she believes it’s "really unfortunate that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe" and that we "should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide." Republican Rep. Don Bacon told Axios that he is putting a censure measure together because "talking about pro-genocide Jewish students is wrong." Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told the outlet that the congresswoman "clearly condemned antisemitism and bigotry for all Jewish students." "Attempts to misconstrue her words by drafting this baseless resolution are meant to distract from the ongoing violence and genocide occurring in Gaza and the large antiwar protests happening across our country and around the world," Rogers added.

Supreme Court AGAIN shoots down Trump goon Peter Navarro's attempt to skirt jail time
Not even the conservative-stacked Supreme Court is willing to step in and bail out the serially indicted ex-president's one-time henchman. Navarro was shot down for a second time by the Supreme Court in his bid to remain free after being convicted of contempt of Congress. Navarro originally made the emergency request to the country’s high court last month in the hopes that the justices would allow him to escape prison time while he appealed his conviction to a federal court — but Chief Justice John Roberts quickly denied the request. On Monday, Navarro then resubmitted his filing to Justice Neil Gorsuch, under a Supreme Court rule that allows emergency applications to be re-filed to individual justices if another denies their request. Gorsuch then passed the request along to the full court — which also promptly denied it after deliberating Friday. Navarro was hit with a four-month sentence after being found guilty of ignoring congressional subpoenas from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol building. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Banker who worked with Michael Cohen to testify at Trump trial
Donald Trump’s porn star hush money criminal trial enters its third week today with additional testimony from Gary Farro, a private banker who last week described financial maneuvering related to the disgraced ex-president’s alleged catch-and-kill scheme to keep salacious stories of his chronic philandering from negatively impacting the 2016 election. In 2015, Farro became former Trump fixer Michael Cohen’s primary contact at First Republic Bank, and his testimony lifted the veil on Cohen’s financial chicanery to protect Donald, which included the assistance of former National Enquirer head honcho David Pecker.

Border Patrol agents joked about killing migrant children, records show
US Border Patrol agents, funded by American tax dollars, freely used the derogatory slur "tonk" to describe unauthorized migrants and even joked about killing or beating them, according to emails and text messages acquired under the Freedom of Information Act. Border Patrol agents who used the slur at times gloated about migrants’ misfortunes and, in one particularly appalling instance, joked about the different ways they might go about killing migrant children in their custody. Because jokes about killing little kids are universally hilarious, right? Right?
