MTG tears into her own party in hysterical meltdown
The perpetually enraged Republican zealot took a break from her crusade against liberals, President Biden, the queer the community, science, and modernity in general and tore into her own party in a snarling appearance on Steve Bannon's podcast. “Republicans continually have their head up their ass and can't figure out how to actually use the power that the people gave us...this is a new time in America, and I am so fed up, Steve. I am so fed up. I am so sick of it because I know people at home are sick of it. People are sick and tired of a feckless, useless Republican Party that never does a damn thing to stop any of this," Greene said in a surprisingly accurate assessment of the GOP. Of course, she was talking about Republicans' refusal to hold pointless impeachment hearings for President Biden over the border, or something, but it's true, America is tired of the feckless and useless Republican Party with its head up its ass! [RETWEET THAT!]

New report exposes GOP’s abortion catastrophe
Kristin Lyerly for Wisconsin: A new AP report describes in chilling detail how countless Americans across the country are being forced to endure agonizing pain and psychological trauma as their pregnancy complications are left untreated by hospital staff too scared of GOP abortion bans to treat them. This has to stop — and the best way to do that is to send people like Dr. Kristin Lyerly to Congress. Dr. Lyerly is ready to take her fight for reproductive rights to Congress, bringing years of OB/GYN experience to a legislative body dominated by men who will never experience pregnancy and are supremely unqualified to write legislation governing human bodies. But she can’t get there alone. Will you chip in to send Dr. Kristin Lyerly to Congress to restore Roe v. Wade and end this national nightmare?
Biden rolls out asylum restrictions, months in the making, to help "gain control" of the border
President Biden announced an executive order to immediately shut down the US border to asylum seekers when the number of border encounters hits 2,500 a day, which has occurred every day since January 2021. The order would trigger near-immediate deportation for those who "do not express fear of returning to their home countries" and imposes stricter asylum qualifications on those who do. The move was immediately condemned by the ACLU, which declared plans to sue, and by immigrant advocate groups. "A ban on asylum is illegal, just as it was when Trump unsuccessfully tried it," said ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt. California Sen. Alex Padilla similarly decried the order, writing on Twitter that "by reviving a Trump-era asylum ban, President Biden has abandoned our obligations to provide people fleeing persecution, violence, and authoritarianism with an opportunity to seek refuge in the US." Republicans, who cheered a ban on asylum seekers when Trump tried to impose it, dismissed the move as a political stunt.

42 House Democrats help pass US sanctions targeting ICC officials over Israel war
Dozens of House Democrats joined forces with Republicans to pass a series of sanctions targeting officials of the International Criminal Court in retaliation for issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, undermining the rule-based international order that the US has fought to enforce for the past 70 years. "I am already being challenged to explain US double standards every time I meet with representatives of foreign governments," complained Rep. Jim McGovern on the House floor ahead of the vote. "What better gift to China and Russia than for us to undermine the international rule of law?" The ACLU issued a statement decrying the bill, saying "this legislation raises serious First Amendment concerns, as it would chill US persons from engaging in constitutionally protected speech under the threat of civil and criminal penalties" and "undermine the rule of law and the independence of the ICC." The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu over Israel's brutal war in Gaza, which has killed more than 35,000 people, most of them women and children, while the ongoing Israeli blockade is pushing hundreds of thousands more into starvation.

OnlyFans model douses Nigel Farage with a milkshake on first day of campaigning
Far-right British politician and all-around total wanker Nigel Farage kicked off his latest election campaign by getting doused with a milkshake from an angry young woman who apparently doesn't approve of his horrendous racism or possibly the fact that Brexit was literally his fault. The assailant, a 25-year-old OnlyFans model, was quickly detained by police. The resulting picture should be hung in the Louvre.
Merrick Garland fires back at Matt Gaetz over his attempts to question him on Trump trial
Attorney General Merrick Garland found himself hauled before the GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee in order for Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, and the rest of their merry band of morons to complain at him about how the DOJ has become "weaponized" and also how it's super unfair that Trump was found guilty by a New York jury. Garland defended himself with passion and hit back at the Republicans for their baseless tantrums and ridiculous accusations, including the preposterous suggestion that the Biden administration was somehow behind the New York state attorney's office prosecuting Trump. Gaetz did his usual thing of being as dramatic as possible so he could get on Fox News, at one point yelling, "I’m saddened by it because, like you, I’ve given my life to the law. I care deeply about the law!" Which is extremely funny because Merrick Garland has prosecuted some of the biggest domestic terrorist cases in US history and is literally the attorney general of the United States while Gaetz's dad got him a cush job at a private law firm where Matt tackled high-profile cases like collecting debt from elderly ladies and helping a homeowners’ association fight their county over the placement of a beach volleyball net. Gaetz has since been suspended from the Florida Bar for failing to pay his fees. Truly, a titan of the legal profession.
Trump makes FATAL MISTAKE following guilty verdict

Arizona voters will decide if local police can arrest people for crossing into the US from Mexico
The Republican-controlled state legislature in Arizona gave final approval to a proposal asking voters to make it a state crime for noncitizens to enter the state through Mexico at any location other than a port of entry, sending the measure to the Nov. 5 ballot. Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs already had to veto a similar bill in March and argued that measure "will hurt Arizona businesses, send jobs out of state, make it more difficult for law enforcement to do their jobs, and bust the state’s budget." Critics argue that the proposal, in addition to being wildly expensive, would essentially legalize racial profiling for Arizona law enforcement. It's now it's up to the voters of Arizona to decide in November. Let's hope they get this one right.
Trump vies for Adelson campaign cash — but there’s one major catch
The perpetually cash-strapped convicted felon is hungry for campaign money to pay his colossal legal builds, and it appears the widow of the late GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson is willing to pay up — in exchange for Trump allowing Israel to annex the West Bank if he becomes president. America's billionaires are literally trying to purchase American policy positions and crush an entire region's right to self-determination like they're picking toppings for a pizza. This kind of corruption is beyond outrageous, and this is just the stuff they let us know about!
After publishing an article critical of Israel, Columbia Law Review’s website is shut down by board
What better way to teach our young people about the virtues of journalism and the manner in which dreams and ideals will be summarily crushed by the ultra-elite like literally shutting down a student newspaper's website for the "crime" of publishing a story critical of Israel!
