Oklahoma Republican proposes ending no-fault divorce
The first no-fault divorce law was passed in 1969 in California, by a certain Republican governor named Ronald Reagan. Yesterday, a leading Freedom Caucus member in the Oklahoma Republican Party put forward a pair of bills to end no-fault divorce and implement a "covenant marriage" policy, which is exactly as scary as it sounds and could very well close pathways for people to escape abusive marriages. Make America the 1950s Again, y'all.

BTC leads collective of progressive creators with plan to take back the internet from Joe Rogan and the right-wing machine

Nancy Mace repeatedly shouts anti-trans slur in House hearing: "I don't really care"
The Republican blowhard from South Carolina, who once laughably described herself as a lawmaker who "strongly supports" LGBTQ rights, showed her truest colors yesterday, repeatedly belching an anti-trans slur during a House hearing. "Tr*nny, tr*nny, tr*nny. I really don't care," Mace exclaimed as she interrupted a Democratic colleague. Oh, we know you don't care about offending marginalized folks, Nancy. But you sure do love the attention your bigotry affords you.

Israel begins preparations for Gaza exodus as Egypt lobbies against Trump plan
Israel said on Thursday it has begun preparations for the departure of large numbers of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in line with President Donald Trump’s plan for the territory. Officials meanwhile said Egypt has launched a diplomatic blitz behind the scenes to try and head off the plan. The Trump administration has already dialed back aspects of Donald's wildly immoral and impractical proposal after it was widely rejected internationally, saying the relocation of Palestinians would apparently be temporary. US officials have provided few details about how or when the plan would be carried out. The Palestinians have vehemently rejected Trump’s proposal, fearing Israel will never allow the refugees to return and that it would destabilize the region. Egypt has warned that such a plan could undermine its peace treaty with Israel, a cornerstone of stability and American influence in the Middle East for decades.

Trump signs executive order banning trans athletes from women’s sports
Surrounded by dozens of young girls with parents who apparently have no problem exposing their children to a known sex predator, Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports, the latest in a slew of moves rolling back the rights of trans people. The order establishes stricter mandates on sports and gender policy, directing federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, to interpret federal Title IX rules as the prohibition of transgender girls and women from participating in any female sports categories. The timing of the order coincided with National Girls and Women in Sports Day.

Elon Musk’s far-right politics are tanking Tesla sales
Who could've predicted that Elon's hard bank to the very far right, complete with the wholesale embrace of both the MAGA cult leader and blatant white supremacy, would turn off would-be customers not terribly keen on driving Sieg Heil-mobiles?

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?
Pardoned ex-Proud Boys leader announces he will run for office: "Two weeks ago I was in prison and just last night I was in Mar-a-Lago at the president’s house”
On his first day back in office President Trump pardoned longtime criminal, one-time federal informant, and convicted felon Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison in September 2023 after being convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in Trump's January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. Last night, during a softball interview on the far-right propaganda outlet Newsmax, the far-right ex-Proud Boys leader declared his intention to enter politics. What a truly frightening world.
Elon Musk will now "plug in" to also commandeer US air traffic control system, says Transportation secretary
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that Elon Musk’s definitely not real and certainly not legal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will take part in upgrading the US aviation system following the deadliest airline accident in decades. "Big News," Duffy wrote on nüTwitter. "Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system." Musk has had a difficult relationship with the Federal Aviation Administration since at least 2023, according to Time. The FAA accused Musk’s company SpaceX last September of having used a launch control room for one of its missions which had not been approved by the agency. The FAA ended up fining SpaceX for that and a number of other violations more than $600,000. What could possibly go wrong letting Elon's crack team of unvetted tech tykes tinker with the nation's air traffic control system?
CIA offers buyouts to entire workforce to align with Trump priorities, sources say
Oh, nothing super problematic to see here. Just the Trump administration offering EVERY SINGLE CIA employee a buyout to vacate en masse so Donald can staff the controversial agency with thousands of loyalists who will do the wannabe dictator's bidding without reservation.
