Trump threw horrifying, racist tantrum over funeral cost for murdered US soldier
A new article from The Atlantic reveals that while he was president, Donald Trump offered to pay for the funeral of Vanessa Guillén, a US soldier who had been brutally murdered at Ft. Hood by a fellow servicemember. Upon finding out how much the funeral would cost, the MAGA cult leader reportedly exploded: “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f*cking Mexican!” Trump then told his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, "Don’t pay it!” Later on, Trump was still complaining: “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.” The disgraced ex-president's utter contempt and disgust for the members of our military is well documented at this point, but this is a disgusting new low even for him. Trump, of course, never ended up paying for the funeral despite telling Guillén's mother he would do so. None of this is particularly surprising at this point, yet Donald's callous lack of empathy and casual racism are still just as shocking as ever. [RETWEET THAT!]

New poll shows VP Harris and Trump NECK AND NECK in crucial swing state
WisDems: A new Emerson College poll shows presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and would-be-dictator Trump tied at 47% in the absolutely-must-win swing state of Wisconsin. The road to the White House and a Senate majority runs through Wisconsin, and Wisconsin Democrats are building a state-wide get-out-the-vote grassroots organizing machine to knock on every door and visit every county for VP Harris. But they can't do it alone. Will you chip in to help the best state party in the country save our democracy from Trump and his radical Project 2025 cronies?
Georgia Supreme Court maintains block on controversial election rules from Trump allies
In a huge win for democracy, the Georgia state Supreme Court has upheld the block on the pro-Trump state elections board's new rules that would require officials to hand-count every single vote and gave them the power to conduct a "reasonable inquiry" into any votes they thought might be suspect. Nearly five million votes were cast in Georgia during the 2020 election, which means that it could take weeks if not MONTHS before we might know the results of next month's election if officials were required to hand-count ballots — giving Trump plenty of time to dispute the election results, proclaim himself the winner, and foment another January 6-style insurrection with his devious lies. Now, the convicted felon will certainly try to do that again anyway, but at least he won't have help from his cronies in the Georgia state bureaucracy.

Top state GOP official says he plans to flag voters with "Hispanic-sounding" names as "suspicious"
In case there was any doubt as to whether the right-wing "election protection" activist groups had any agenda at all besides stealing the election for Donald Trump, North Carolina GOP party chair James Womack made it clear what he was really all about. "If you've got folks that you, that were registered, and they're missing information… and they were registered in the last 90 days before the election, and they've got Hispanic-sounding last names, that probably is, is a suspicious voter," says Womack in a video obtained by CBS News. Womack believes that "we have corrupt voter lists" and that "citizens, individual citizens have a right to that information and they analyze that information to identify potential illegal or improperly registered people." The state says there's no basis to the notion that the voter lists are "corrupt," but it's clear Womack and his fellow "election protection" activists are living in their MAGA cult leader's world of paranoid delusion...and should be have no role in this election beyond casting their own ballots.

IDF obliterates entire Lebanese apartment complex in shocking airstrike
At least 18 people, including children, were killed in an IDF airstrike in Beirut that instantly leveled several apartment buildings just 150 feet away from a major hospital. “They are hitting everything randomly. Without seeing there is children. Where are the guns here? Where are the rockets here? Blind, Israeli enemies. Blind!" said one survivor. The IDF claimed they were hitting a "terrorist target" but gave no evidence or details as to what that might have been. The nearby Al Sahel hospital was forced to evacuate after the Israelis, again with no evidence, claimed that there was a secret "bunker" full of Hezbollah gold hidden under the medical facility. BBC reporters inspected the hospital and found no evidence of any secret bunker. “It's really shocking to say that Sahel Hospital is affiliated with any party in Lebanon,” said Dr. Alameh, the general manager. “It's a private hospital. It's a teaching hospital for doctors, physicians, and other medical students." Similar claims with unconvincing evidence about secret "terrorist command centers" were made about the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, which was then subjected to an IDF raid that killed several hundred people, including women and children.
Judge who tossed Trump's classified docs case on list of proposed candidates for attorney general
Judge Aileen Cannon — yep, that Judge Cannon, who successfully managed to mothball the MAGA cult leader's stolen documents case until after the election — is being considered for the position of attorney general should Trump win the White House. It's corruption, grift, and self-serving dishonesty all the way down.

Hundreds of elderly political donors, including those with dementia, have fallen victim to Republican political campaigns and groups
Modern Republicanism is a scam from top to bottom, and there's no mark they like better than their own voters. A CNN investigation found that deceptive political fundraisers have victimized hundreds of elderly Americans and misled those battling dementia or other cognitive impairments into giving away millions of dollars — far more than they ever intended. Some unintentionally joined the ranks of the top grassroots political donors in the country as they tapped into retirement savings and went into debt, contributing six-figure sums through thousands of transactions. Often coming in $5 or $10 at a time, contributions from this small sampling of donors alone added up to more than $6 million over the last five years — the majority of which ended up with Donald Trump and a long list of other Republican candidates, CNN found. The stories of seniors depleting the savings account they'd spent their whole lives building, all so the disgraced ex-president can spend it on racist ads, are truly heartbreaking.
John Kelly: Trump offered private praise for "Hitler’s generals"
Former Homeland Security Secretary AND White House chief of staff John Kelly finally confirmed to the public that Donald Trump spoke glowingly of German generals and their loyalty — and was also very resistant to the idea that the Nazi generals had attempted to kill Hitler. "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had," Trump told Kelly. He means, of course, generals willing to use the military against their own citizens, in this case the George Floyd protesters in 2020. How many more Nazi stories need to break before this country wakes up and sees this fascistic cretin for who he really is?
