Elon Musk breaks silence after his candidate loses Wisconsin Supreme Court race
Phony Stark dropped a cool $21 million to back MAGA's preferred candidate in a highly consequential state Supreme Court election in Wisconsin, but it simply wasn't enough to knock off Democratic candidate Susan Crawford, whose victory cemented the court's 4-3 liberal majority for another three years. Crawford did not let the moment go unnoticed, telling supporters at her victory speech: "I never could have imagined that I would be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin... and we won." Hell yes you did, Susan! Elon, likely coming down from one helluva a ketamine bender, eventually chimed in to downplay his embarrassing defeat and change the narrative. "This was the most important thing," Musk tweeted, referring to Wisconsinites' approval of a constitutional amendment to enshrine state voter ID laws, which actually has been the law in Wisconsin for ten years. Funny, the $21 million he spent backing Crawford's vanquished opponent in the most expensive judicial election in American history sure felt like the bigger story leading up to last night's vote, but what do we know?

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Cory Booker makes history on Senate floor
Sen. Cory Booker made history last night when he broke the record for the longest filibuster in Senate history, previously held by arch-racist Strom Thurmond, who spoke for more than 24 hours in opposition to the Civil Rights Act in 1957 and must be tearing his hair plugs out in Hell right now. Cory Booker later told reporters that he had fasted since Friday and intentionally dehydrated himself since Sunday in order to accomplish this undertaking. The American public showed they were just as hungry as Booker was with their rapt attention, his livestream hitting 250 million "Likes" on TikTok and 50+ million live viewers. Take note, Chuck Schumer! People like it when you do things!

Trump cuts off lifeline for millions of women
United Nations Population Fund: Donald Trump cut 48 vital funding grants to the UNFPA, ending their ability to provide critical maternal health care, rape treatment, and other lifesaving care to women in over 25 crisis-stricken countries. Over the last four years, these lifesaving grants to UNFPA have prevented more than 17,000 maternal deaths, 9 million unintended pregnancies, and nearly 3 million unsafe abortions. Now that’s all been snatched away by Trump, forcing thousands of health clinics to close while countless women in crisis zones will be forced to give birth without medicines, midwives, or equipment. Will you make a donation to UNFPA and make sure that the world’s most vulnerable women get the healthcare they need?

Marco Rubio orders diplomats to search social media accounts of visa applicants
It looks and feels like fascism because it is fascism. Anyone looking to come to the United States through the country's various visa programs — including students, workers, visitors, etc. — will now have their social media activity scoured by US diplomats abroad for any posts criticizing the actions of the United States — and Israel, for some reason — according to a new order by Sec. of State Marco Rubio. Have something critical to say about a specific political figure or particular foreign policy and share it on Facebook? You can be denied entry. Don't like the direction a certain party is steering health policy or scientific research and mention it on Twitter? Denial of entry. Uneasy about the rise of unchecked, ultra-powerful oligarchs in the West and share a humorous meme to that effect on Instagram? Denied. Truly dystopian stuff. "We don't want people in our country that are going to be committing crimes and undermining our national security or the public safety," said Rubio. Well, of course. But when did voicing criticism of certain political figures or policies become criminal or tantamount to undermining our national security? Oh, right. Fascism.

Trump begins mass layoffs at FDA, CDC, other US health agencies
Over 10,000 federal employees were abruptly laid off in vicious and humiliating fashion, crippling our nation's ability to keep our food safe, cure diseases, and inform the public about threats to our health. Among those laid off include the entire FOIA team at CDC and FDA — in direct violation of promises that HHS Secretary RFK Jr. made under oath during his confirmation hearing — the doctor behind breakthrough Parkinson’s research, Dr. Richard Youle, and the nation's top doctor in charge of fighting bird flu. Our country will be set back decades by these cuts, adults and children will needlessly die, and we will suffer immensely, all to save a few pennies here and there while the gargantuan military budget remains untouched. "We’ve had a lot of devastating days, but this really is unfathomable," Wendy Armstrong, director of infectious diseases at the University of Colorado, told The xxxxxx. "It’s astounding, it will affect patients with all kinds of different kinds of infections, and Americans will suffer, and people will die, and that’s a horrible thing to see coming." Truly.

Fox News host says Trump should tell Americans freaking out over the value of their retirement accounts to just sacrifice like it's wartime
Suck it up, grandmas and grandpas of America! Didn't you hear? It's Liberation Day. We're at war! With...Canadian automobile parts... and European wine... and, uh, lumber and computers and textiles and stuff... So what if your life savings tanks in a few miserable months. It is your patriotic duty to suffer for Dear Leader and his incredibly stupid tariffs! This is war, goddammit! We must alienate literally all of our allies, pay needlessly higher prices on a variety of everyday goods, and cripple entire sectors of our own economy for no good reason, and we must do so TOGETHER!

Palestinian medics killed by Israel and buried in mass grave, says UN
In yet another unspeakable war crime committed by the US-backed Israeli Defence Forces, fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one United Nations employee, were killed "one by one" and buried in a mass grave eight days ago in southern Gaza, the UN has said. At least one of the medics was killed execution-style, with his hands tied behind his head. "We're digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave," said Jonathan Whittall, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Palestine. "These ambulances have been buried in the sand. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. A bulldozer — Israeli forces bulldozer — has buried them."

FBI raids home of prominent computer scientist who has gone incommunicado
A prominent Chinese computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado. Xiaofeng Wang, the associate dean of research at Indiana University's Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer, and his homes were raided by the FBI. No one knows why. "None of this is in any way normal," Matthew Green, a professor specializing in cryptography at Johns Hopkins University, wrote on Mastodon. He continued, "Has anyone been in contact? I hear he’s been missing for two weeks and his students can't reach him. How does this not get noticed for two weeks???" Uhhhhh...what the f*ck?

Elon Musk’s $1 million handout winners are connected to Republican causes
This will come as SHOCKING news to everyone, but Elon Musk's pay-for-play $1 million "voter lottery" scheme appears to have been rigged the entire time. One "winner," Nicholas Jacobs, is the president of the Wisconsin College Republicans and has worked on multiple GOP campaigns in Wisconsin, and the other, Ekaterina Diestler, is a graphic designer for a packaging company in the Green Bay area with strong ties to major Republican donors. This would make Elon's scheme doubly illegal, since it appears to violate the most basic sweepstakes/lottery laws. When will the MAGA faithful realize how badly they have been duped by literally the world's richest man?

House effort to allow remote votes for new parents survives, in major defeat for GOP Speaker Johnson
The House on Tuesday defeated an effort that would have effectively killed a push to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely around the birth of their child, an embarrassing loss for House Speaker Mike Johnson. Nine Republicans joined all Democrats during a procedural vote to help sink far-right opposition. Johnson, who halted all further legislative action for the week, called the outcome "disappointing," adding that a "handful of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take down a rule — that's rarely done." Yes! That is rarely done. Republicans are NOT supposed to think for themselves and support any legislation put forward by Democrats in the era of MAGA. How dare they!

Trump calls out 4 "disloyal" GOP senators by name for defiant tariff pushback in blistering "Liberation Day" barrage
Donald Trump called out four high-ranking GOP senators in a blistering online barrage early Wednesday, piling pressure on those tempted to push back against his impending tariffs against Canada. In a signature, thumb-smashed Truth Social screed, the MAGA cult leader took dead aim at Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski for balking at his reductive, economy-busting tariff war and accused the four otherwise steadfast enablers of his awful agenda of aligning themslves with drug cartels and their practically nonexistent trafficking of fentanyl into the United States. Hope this was all worth it, Mitch!
