"They can control the weather," claims Marjorie Taylor Greene after catastrophic Hurricane Helene kills more than 200
Oh, hey. Look who's back with another incredibly stupid, deeply offensive hot take on a subject she knows absolutely nothing about? As the death toll from Helene rose above 200 and the scope of the destruction comes into clearer focus, the fearless QAnon conspiracy theorist from Georgia dropped a serious moron bomb on social media, proclaiming, "Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done." So THIS is what "they" are doing with their damned space lasers! Shanah tovah, everybody! [RETWEET THAT!]

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump spins out over bombshell DC trial update
The MAGA cult leader took to his fledgling social media platform to cry foul for the umpteenth time, this time accusing the Department of Justice of election interference...for allowing the not-at-all-unusual progression of an ongoing legal case against the convicted felon in federal court. The disgraced ex-president called special counsel Jack Smith's latest filing brief in the Jan. 6 insurrection case "another obvious attempt by the Biden-Harris regime to undermine and Weaponize American Democracy, and INTERFERE IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION." Okaaaay. Donald Trump and his MAGA goons know Biden and Harris have nothing to do with the disgraced ex-president's many, many legal troubles, but they play make believe because their goal is to a) stoke irrational fear among their most fervent supporters, whom they hold in such low regard and b) lay the groundwork to contest to results of November's election should the numbers not play out in their favor. The MAGA faithful are nothing more than useful pawns in a game serving a single contestant — Donald J. Trump.

GOP Senate candidate busted bullying sexual harassment victims into silence
Bob Casey for Senate: New reporting has exposed Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked Senate candidate, Dave McCormick, actively worked to bully female sexual harassment victims at his hedge fund into silence using threats and NDAs. This is how far he was willing to go for his predatory buddies — we shudder to imagine what he might do in the US Senate. Will you chip in to Bob Casey to help protect this must-win swing state seat and keep McCormick from bullying women at the national level?

Trump election conspiracist Tina Peters sentenced to 9 years in prison by Colorado judge
Tina Peters, a Republican former Colorado county clerk who espoused the blatantly false conspiracy theory that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election due to ballot fraud, was sentenced Thursday to NINE years in prison for crimes related to a felony breach of her county’s voting system. “You are no hero,” state District Court Judge Matthew Barrett told Peters, who pleaded for leniency. "You're a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again. Your lies are well documented, and these convictions are serious. I'm convinced you’d do it all over again if you could," Barrett continued. The 68-year-old Peters, it should be noted, was caught using another person’s security badge to let a fellow deluded election conspiracist gain access to her county’s election system. Play incredibly stupid games, win incredibly stupid prizes.

Donald Trump’s foul-mouthed migrant rant captured in private pitch to donors
The disgraced ex-president unleashed a foul-mouthed, fact-free tirade about super-evil undocumented immigrants — from South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East — and predicted that this “could be the last election we ever have” if Kamala Harris wins during a private fundraising dinner this summer. The Guardian obtained a 12-minute recording of a vulgar, xenophobic speech that the convicted felon gave at the dinner in August in Aspen, Colorado, where attendees were required to donate anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000 a couple to listen to the con man disparage basically anyone not white and American. It's beyond clear that Trump, devoid of any actual policy prescriptions for moving the country forward, has settled on a singular campaign strategy to win back the White House: fear. That anyone is willing to fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars to listen to this garbage is beyond us, but is says so much about the utterly shameful state of today's morally bankrupt Republican Party.

Someone really has been killing geese in Springfield, Ohio — a 64-year-old white guy with a shotgun
Breaking news! Geese ARE being killed in Springfield, Ohio, after all... by a 64-year-old white man named Brian Comer, who was caught riding around a local golf course on his lawnmower, hunting the migratory birds with a shotgun. Oops. We should probably deport him — and every other Springfield resident who matches his profile, just to be safe — right? Right?

Trump initially refused to give California wildfire aid in 2018 because it’s a blue state, ex-aide says
Like every other disingenuous attack launched by the disgraced ex-president, Trump's ridiculous claim that President Biden has withheld hurricane aid to red states is pure projection. A review of Trump’s record by Politico and interviews with two former Trump White House officials show that the MAGA cult leader was flagrantly partisan at times in response to disasters and on at least three occasions hesitated to give disaster aid to areas he considered politically hostile or ordered special treatment for pro-Trump states. Oops.

Vance's mic gets cut off in alarming debate spat
United We Dream Action: During the vice presidential debate, JD Vance had his mic shut off after trying to conflate legal Haitian immigrants with undocumented immigrants, crying, "The rules were that you guys weren't going to fact-check!" That tells us all we need to know: he’s lying, he knows that he’s lying, and he doesn’t care because those distinctions don’t matter to him. Legal or illegal, Vance and Trump are dead-set on targeting immigrants, and that means we need to expand protections for legal immigrants ASAP! Will you add your name to tell President Biden to pass new protections for DACA recipients?

Vance says Trump won the 2020 election, then doubles down on the lie in new interview
Hey, remember when JD repeatedly refused to answer the simple, straightforward question at Tuesday night's debate about who won the 2020 election? Well, the venture capital vampire was given another chance to set the record straight during an impromptu encounter with comedian Jason Selvig on the campaign trail, and things did not go well. During their brief exchange, Selvig repeatedly asked Vance if Trump won in 2020. JD's response? "Yep!" And there we have it, folks. Anyone still wondering why a charlatan like first-term Senator Vance is on the ticket need look no further. The man is a hapless, subservient lapdog doing his master's bidding. MAGA before country. Donald over democracy. But sure, definitely not a cult.

House Republican on Fox News calls George Soros "a money changer of the worst kind"
Well, uh, that's insanely antisemitic. And on Rosh Hashanah, too! Surely the GOP will be publicly castigating him and passing censure bills for real antisemitism the same way they do when Muslim reps criticize Israel's atrocious human rights record...right?
