Marjorie Taylor Greene compares Trump to Jesus and all hell breaks loose
The QAnon congresswoman from Georgia keeps finding impressive ways to lower the dum-dum bar and embarrass herself anew. Over the weekend she dropped this doozy on the MAGA faithful: "The Democrats and the fake news media want to constantly talk about, 'Oh, President Trump is a convicted felon. Well you wanna know something? The man that I worship is also a convicted felon. And he was murdered on Roman cross." Samesies, see?! To be fair, we haven't picked up our copy of the Bible in a while, but we don't recall the part where Jesus cheated on his third wife with a porn star and then broke a bunch of laws to keep the whole sordid affair secret. Which book is that in again, Marge? [RETWEET THAT!]

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Kamala Harris shuts down Trump over conviction in interview with Brian Tyler Cohen
Vice President Kamala Harris, a former district attorney and state attorney general, dropped the hammer on convicted felon Donald Trump and the Republican Party's abject contempt for American rule of law. The GOP may pitch themselves as the "law and order" party, but their response to the MAGA cult leader's unanimous conviction on 34 felony counts has been as predictable as it is pathetic. Or as Harris put it, "cheaters don't like to get caught, and they don't like to be held accountable."

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?
Appeals court tells Texas it cannot ban books for mentioning "butt and fart"
Conservatives, prepare to clutch thy pearls and shield your poor children's delicate eyes! An appellate court has ruled that Texas cannot ban books from libraries simply because they mention "butt and fart" and other content which some state officials may dislike. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals explained, "This court has declared that officials may not 'remove books from school library shelves simply because they dislike the idea contained in those books and seek by their removal to prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion.'" Titles soon to find their rightful place back upon the bookshelves include I Broke My Butt! and Larry the Farting Leprechaun, as well as young adult books on sexuality, gender identity, and dysphoria — including Being Jazz: My Life As a (Transgender) Teen — and two books on the history of racism in the US, among them Caste and They Called Themselves the KKK.

Centrist Benny Gantz quits Israel's war Cabinet, citing frustrations with Netanyahu
Benny Gantz, a centrist member of Israel’s three-man war Cabinet, announced his resignation Sunday, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of mismanaging the war effort and putting his own “political survival” over the country’s security needs. The popular former military chief joined Netanyahu’s government shortly after the Hamas terror attack on October 7 in a show of unity. His presence also boosted Israel’s credibility with its international partners, as Gantz has good working relations with US officials. The move does not immediately pose a threat to Netanyahu, who still controls a majority coalition in parliament. But the embattled Israeli leader becomes more heavily reliant on far-right allies who oppose the latest US-backed cease-fire proposal and want to press ahead with their brutal war which has claimed the lives of more than 37,000 Palestinians to date.

Biden visits WWI military cemetery that Trump reportedly said was "filled with losers"
President Biden on Sunday paid tribute to fallen US Marines at an American cemetery outside of Paris, a resting place that features prominently in his case against the MAGA cult leader. More than 2,200 Americans who fought and died in World War I are buried in the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery. "Every Marine I know, knows about the Battle of Belleau Woods," Biden told reporters after a short wreath-laying ceremony. Trump had been scheduled to visit the same cemetery in Nov. 2018, on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, but he scrapped those plans. The Atlantic reported at the time that Trump canceled the trip because he didn't want to get his hair wet in the rain, telling senior staff members "Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers." Spot the difference? Remember in November.

Biden warns Putin will not stop at Ukraine, puts all of Europe on notice
President Biden pledged Washington's support for Kyiv in its ongoing battle against the Russian invasion, warning all of Europe that Vladimir Putin would "not stop" at Ukraine. In an appearance alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden stated, "The United States is standing strong with Ukraine. We will not, I say it again, walk away." Macron added, "I thank you, Mr. President, for being the president of the world's number one power but doing it with the loyalty of a partner who likes and respects the Europeans." The subtext should not go unnoticed.
"Shitty job!" Trump blows a gasket over tech problems at rally, threatens not to pay the crew in bizarre rant
An irritated and clearly uncomfortable Trump railed and flailed in the oppressive Las Vegas heat yesterday, betraying his utter contempt for his own followers and bumbling his way through a familiar airing of grievances, eventually blaming his speech troubles on his teleprompter. After trying and failing to say the word “Hispanic” Trump promptly called out the crew which set up the rally and eventually screamed, "I don't pay contractors that do a shitty job. And that’s a shitty job! That’s a shitty job!" Very stable genius stuff.
Trump to undergo probation interview for New York hush money case today
No big deal. The convicted felon and Republican nominee for president is meeting with his probation officer today. Totally normal and in no way troubling encapsulation of the debased and repugnant state of the modern-day GOP.
The USA, today
The daily planet
