Trump dances on the grave of outgoing FBI director as Chris Wray announces his resignation
The convicted felon who 77 million people just willfully voted back into office wasted no time shitting all over the man he personally picked to run the FBI in 2017, following Wray's announcement that he was resigning before his 10-year term expired. “I just don't know what happened to him," Trump wrote in a social media post. We're no law-and-order experts, but it just might have something to do with Wray taking his job somewhat seriously and letting credible investigations run their course, which obviously meant ensnaring brazen crooks and criminals like Trump and his ilk from time to time.

Elon Musk’s net worth skyrocketed after striking up bromance with Trump
You don't say?! It's almost as if we've crossed some sort of Rubicon into late-stage capitalism where the mega-wealthy are metastasizing into the obnoxious-ultra-wealthy with nearly no guardrails in place to check or balance them. Almost.

BTC leads collective of progressive creators with plan to take back the internet from Joe Rogan and the right-wing machine
Chorus: This election has made it painfully clear that Democrats' messages are just not getting through the tsunami of right-wing propaganda and lies flooding through social media, and we have no real answer to a Joe Rogan or a Ben Shapiro...until now! Chorus Collective is a new collaborative founded by creators like Brian Tyler Cohen, Leigh McGowan (Politics Girl), Roland Martin, David Pakman, Elizabeth Booker Houston, and Adam Mockler, who are bringing their audience of 40 million people together to create a new infrastructure to scale their voices and build support for more creators like them. Chorus aims to not only amplify progressive voices but also uplift new creators and build a left-wing social media ecosystem that supports its voices ALL the time, not just in the months leading up to an election. Will you chip in to help Chorus get off the ground and help break the right-wing stranglehold on social media?

Schumer torpedoed by Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema on crucial NLRB vote
Senate Republicans defeated a last-minute effort by outgoing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to ensure a critical Democratic majority on the National Labor Relations Board for the first two years of Trump's presidency, thanks to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema — two former Democrats who backstabbed the party the second it was politically expedient for them to do so. They're on their way out the door and will doubtlessly be handsomely rewarded by the private sector for their actions; begs the question of why we keep "Democrats" like these two around in the first place.

House Rep. Nancy Mace calls the cops on foster youth who asked her about trans people
The South Carolina Republican, who has been on an unhinged transphobia crusade ever since she realized it might get her a little extra attention, has now jumped the shark and had a foster kid arrested for "assaulting" her during a public encounter where she was questioned for her deeply offensive anti-trans comments. “I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it'll heal just fine. The Capitol police arrested the guy. Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down," posted Mace on social media. In reality, however, onlookers say the kid just...shook her hand. A very literal demonstration about how, time and again, most right-wing grievances are utterly imaginary lies these clowns invent to make themselves — the oppressors — into victims.

Trump names election-denier Kari Lake to lead Voice Of America news network
The MAGA cult leader tapped Kari Lake, the failed Arizona Senate and gubernatorial candidate, to be the next director of Voice of America. The media network is funded by the US government and is meant to be an unbiased *cough* source of news for people around the planet. Good to know the 350 million people who tune into VOA around the world will get to hear Lake's delusional, unhinged, conspiratorial hot takes on issues of the day — in 50 different languages, no less!
