Donald Trump’s latest branded venture is guitars that cost up to $10,000
$400 sneakers. $100,000 watches. $60 Bibles ($1000 signed!). Ridiculous digital "trading cards." Uh, cryptocurrency. And now, $10,000 guitars. Nope, definitely not a cult.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Democrats outmaneuver Matt Gaetz
House Democrats are moving to force a floor vote to release the damning House Ethics Committee report on Trump's ridiculous pick for attorney general, and there's good reason to believe just enough Republicans might go along with the plan to see it to fruition. Brian Tyler Cohen breaks it all down. Things are getting spicy inside the beltway, people.

Project Unloaded takes on America's deadly, toxic gun culture
Project Unloaded: We don’t have to wait four more years to take on gun violence. Project Unloaded is taking on gun culture today — and you can too. To stop gun violence, we must change gun laws — and gun culture. The gun industry has sold us on the myth that guns make us safer. They’ve made millions — while Americans have paid with their lives. The truth is that homes with guns have twice as many homicides as homes without firearms. Gun suicides are three times as likely in homes with a gun. It's going to take all of us to change America's toxic gun culture, and it starts with you. Will you add your name and pledge to live your life unloaded?
Police report reveals appalling assault allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon
The details, if you can stomach them, are vile and utterly disqualifying. And Hegseth definitely knows it, which is why he quietly paid his victim off in 2023.

JD Vance pleads with US senators to back Matt Gaetz as Trump’s attorney general
Gaetz, very credibly accused of sex trafficking a minor, is going to need all the help he can get. Even in a cult as durable as MAGA, there are plenty of Republicans who simply cannot stand the man.
Senate rejects Bernie Sanders effort to block arms sales to Israel
The Senate has blocked legislation that would have halted the sale of some US weapons to Israel, which had been introduced by Vermont's Bernie Sanders out of grave concern about the ongoing human rights catastrophe faced by Palestinians in Gaza. Sanders, who is Jewish, introduced three joint resolutions of disapproval, seeking to block the Biden administration’s recent sale of another $20 billion in US weapons to Israel. 19 senators voted to advance the legislation, which was nonetheless easily defeated. Some 43,000 Palestinians have died in the war following Hamas' terror attack on October 7, 2023.
American abortion patients put in extreme danger by Trump and his cronies
National Network of Abortion Funds: Abortion rights are under attack by right-wing extremists across the country, and it's about to get a hundred times worse under President Trump and Republican control of the government. That's why Dose of Democracy is working overtime to help raise money for the National Network of Abortion Funds and make sure they have the resources they need to provide care to as many patients as possible before it's too late. Will you make a donation to help those on the front lines of the war for reproductive rights?
MAGA Indiana commissioner sexually assaulted daughter in Vegas, wins from jail anyway
Despite being in custody since late June in Las Vegas on felony sexual assault charges, MAGA candidate John D. Jessup easily won his race for Hancock County Commissioner in Indiana. But wait, there's (always) more. The arrest stemmed from a reported sexual assault of a woman in January after she and Jessup had a drunken night out in Vegas. The victim told police Jessup forced her to drink high amounts of alcohol before taking advantage of her in his hotel room and sexually assaulting her. Witnesses who were with Jessup and the victim corroborated the woman's story to detectives, adding that Jessup said, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" multiple times throughout the night. Oh, the victim? His 21-year-old daughter. Seriously. Jessup eventually pleaded guilty to a slightly lesser charge on November 13, a little more than a week after Republicans re-elected the sex predator by a landslide, and he is now facing up to 10 years in prison. For his daughter's sake — and all of society — let's hope this one stays in Vegas. Behind bars. For a very, very long time.

Something, something, broken clocks. Blah, blah, blah.
ICC arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu, Gallant, and Hamas commander over alleged war crimes
Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and former defense minister, as well as Hamas's military commander. The judges said there were “reasonable grounds” the three men bore "criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war between Israel and Hamas. Both Israel and Hamas have rejected the allegations. It will now be up to the ICC's 124 member states — who do not include Israel or its ally, the United States — to decide whether or not to enforce the warrants.
Rudy Giuliani could be held in contempt after "brazenly defaming election workers again"
Trump's one-time henchman could be held in contempt of court for repeating — yet again — false claims about two former election workers who won nearly $150 million for his previous defamatory statements about them. Attorneys for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss — who are also pressing a federal judge to force the cash-strapped former New York City mayor to turn over his property — are asking the judge who presided over their initial defamation trial to sanction Giuliani for his ongoing baseless claims. On recent livestreams, Rudy accused the women of “quadruple counting the ballots” and “passing hard drives that we maintain were used to fix the machine” during the 2020 presidential election — ludicrous claims that landed him in a trial court for defamation last year. Some folks you just can't learn.
