VIDEO OF THE DAY: Elon Musk gets heckled on stage at his own rally
The MAGA shadow president was holding a rally in Wisconsin over the weekend, literally handing out $1 million checks on stage to influence the outcome of the state's Supreme Court election on Tuesday when he was interrupted by anti-authoritarian hecklers who managed to get inside the building and make their voices heard. Musk laughably claimed they were professional agitators paid by George Soros (of course) to — wait for it — influence the outcome of the election. If Elon were any less self-aware, he wouldn't see his own reflection in a mirror.

Trump says he’s "not joking" about serving third term as president — and suggests one way he thinks he could do it
The would-be dictator has once again floated the idea of serving an illegal third term, this time in an interview with NBC News. While it's easy to dismiss this as just an attempt to rile up the libs and provoke a chorus of concerned consternation from the political cognoscenti, Trump has brought the prospect up so many times that it's clear he is NOT joking, especially since he literally said, "I'm not joking." When asked about constitutional limits, Trump responded, "I don't even want to talk about it. I'm just telling you I have had more people saying 'please run again.' We have a long way to go before we even think about that, but I've had a lot of people.” Unsurprising that Donald doesn't want to talk about the Constitution, the very thing he swore to uphold in his oath of office; he's spent the first three months of his chaotic second term violating it left and right.

Our LAST CHANCE to stop Elon from buying our democracy
State Democracy Defenders: The most important race in the country right now is ON MONDAY in Wisconsin, where the balance of the Supreme Court (in America's purplest state!) will hinge on one seat. Elon and his dark money PACs have poured tens of millions of dollars into the race, and now he’s even resorted to literally buying votes. He’s handing out hundreds of dollars to voters who sign his “petition” against activist judges and has just announced a last-minute lottery to hand out $1 million to voters in a shameless and wildly corrupt attempt to subvert our democracy with his ill-gotten fortune, and it's up to us to stop him.

Global stocks plunge ahead of Trump’s "Liberation Day" tariffs
"You'd start with all countries, so let’s see what happens," said Trump. Well, we're already seeing what's happening, and it's both entirely predictable and obscenely preventable. Stocks are tanking, the chance of recession has shot up to 35%, and analysts are now beginning to worry about "Wall Street’s least-favorite 's-word,' stagflation." How kind and generous of the MAGA cult leader to liberate us from economic security, stability, and being able to buy food. Seriously, whoever told him about William McKinley has a LOT to answer for.

Trump says he's "very angry" and "pissed off" at Vladimir Putin during an NBC News interview
Donald Trump said he was "very angry" and "pissed off" when Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership, adding that the comments were "not going in the right location," whatever that means. Apparently, questioning Zelenskyy's authority and credibility is a right reserved by Trump and Trump only — and for viral, Oval Office "gotcha!" moments to feed his MAGA base, but we digress. Donald continued, "If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault — which it might not be — but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia." Hoo boy. Firstly, Russia invaded Ukraine, so waffling over who's to blame for the carnage is silly. Secondly, it is remarkable to witness how the wannabe dictator tiptoes around criticizing and challenging an actual authoritarian despot; it's a far cry from the bellicose barking we hear when he's punching down. Bullies rarely pick fights in their own weight class, after all.

LA-based attorney submits "Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act" ballot measure to the state attorney general’s office
Alleged killer Luigi Mangione has inspired shirts, documentaries, memes, and — now — a proposed new law in California. Los Angeles attorney Paul Eisner submitted the "Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act" to the state’s attorney general’s office last week, a ballot measure that would make it illegal to "deny, delay, or modify" a medical procedure that a physician has recommended. Eisner told KFMB that he named the measure after the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson "for a very simple reason: it is getting the attention it needs, because sometimes things require publicity."
Agency for older adults and people with disabilities to be shuttered under HHS cuts
The Administration for Community Living will be disbanded and its “critical” programs will be integrated into other Health and Human Services agencies under draconian DOGE budget cuts. The most important program under the ACL is the beloved "Meals on Wheels," which provided more than 261 million meals to older adults, assistance such as respite care to more than 1.5 million family caregivers, and independent-living services to nearly 250,000 people with disabilities in 2022 alone. Whether or not Meals on Wheels will be considered a "critical program" remains to be seen. The ACL's budget is just $2.5 billion dollars a year. “Donald Trump often claims, ‘We love our seniors,’ but today’s drastic cuts at HHS reveal just how empty those words are," said Richard Fiesta, executive director of the advocacy group Alliance for Retired Americans. Millions of elderly Americans will literally go hungry due to these needless budget cuts.
Elon Musk hands out $1 million "payments" to voters after Wisconsin Supreme Court declines request to stop him
Phony Stark gave out $1 million checks on Sunday to two Wisconsin voters, declaring them "spokespeople" for his political group, ahead of a Wisconsin Supreme Court election that the ketamine-popping oligarch cast as critical to Donald Trump’s agenda and "the future of civilization." Musk and groups he supports have spent more than $20 million to help conservative favorite Brad Schimel in Tuesday’s race, which will determine the ideological makeup of a court likely to decide key issues in a perennial battleground state. Musk has increasingly become the center of the contest, with liberal favorite Susan Crawford and her allies protesting the DOGE goon's desired influence on the court.
Fox News host Lara Trump asks White House official if Donald Trump will be put on Mount Rushmore: "A lot of people wonder!"
Yes! A lot of people who know Donald Trump are wondering if Donald Trump will put Donald Trump's face on Mount Rushmore, including Donald Trump's daughter-in-law and definitely-in-no-way-a-Fox-News-nepo hire, Lara Trump!

Trump says US doesn't need Canada after all
Repeatedly rebuffed by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada's new premier, Mark Carney, Donald Trump has apparently changed his imperial tune, now insisting that America doesn't need anything from our northern neighbors. Having spent months issuing ridiculous, dead-on-arrival statements about Canada becoming the 51st US state, the MAGA cult leader appears to be turning his attention to other things sparkle and flash in his periphery, stating, "We don't need energy from Canada. We don't need lumber from Canada. We don't need anything from Canada. I believe this will be the golden age of America."
