Trump bails on dignified transfer of US soldiers killed in Lithuania to golf
Donald Trump's contempt and disgust for our servicemembers is very well-established at this point, but skipping the dignified transfer of the bodies of four US soldiers who were killed in a tragic training accident so that he could play golf with murderous Saudi oligarchs is a new low for the laziest president in American history. We know it's a fruitless exercise at this point, but do you remember when Fox News had a week-long meltdown over a fake scandal where President Biden allegedly checked his watch during the transfer of soldiers' remains? Somehow we don't think Fox will cover this extremely real and incredibly offensive scandal with one iota of the same fury...if they cover it at all. Unbelievable.

Proven winner Chris Pappas announces bid to keep crucial New Hampshire Senate seat blue
Chris Pappas for Senate: Now that Senator Shaheen is retiring, Chris Pappas is aiming to make history by becoming the first openly gay man elected to the U.S. Senate and keep a vitally important Senate seat in Democratic hands. Rep. Chris Pappas has served New Hampshire for 20 years and has a proven track record of taking on the big fights– from battling Big Pharma to lowering drug prices to facing off with predatory companies that target veterans — while winning election after election in one of the swingiest districts in the country. If we're to have any chance of derailing Trump's appalling agenda of cruelty, chaos, and corruption, we need to retake the Senate, we need to protect this must-win seat from whichever MAGA extremist tries to snatch it away. Will you help jump-start Chris Pappas' campaign with a donation?

Trump’s new tariff math looks a lot like ChatGPT’s
As if this needless trade war bullshit wasn't stupid enough already, it's becoming obvious that the Trump team has no fucking idea what they're doing and just used the ChatGPT language learning machine to create the list of tariffs by country. Social media users quickly figured out that AI used a list of internet domain names to differentiate each country, leading to the implementation of tariffs on islands inhabited entirely by penguins and individual tariffs against islands like Martinique, which is officially part of France and not an independent country. Economists almost immediately were able to reverse engineer the tariff formula and found it was literally just taking a given country’s trade deficit with the US and dividing it by their total exports to the US, which again match the recommendations made by ChatGPT. Our country is being run by the dumbest, laziest idiots in the country.

15 Senate Dems vote to cancel billions in Israeli military aid
Just 15 Democrats were willing to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders' proposal to cancel Donald Trump's sale of $8.8 billion in bombs and missles to fuel Israel's horrific war against the Palestinians of Gaza, which has killed at least 50,000 people, the majority of them women and children. Not even the recent discovery that Israeli troops had murdered over a dozen paramedics and buried them in a mass grave — only the latest in a long list of shocking crimes against humanity — was enough to move the majority of Democrats or a single Republican to take a stand against the unspeakable horrors being committed with our public money. This morning we got news that Israeli planes bombed a school in Gaza City, killing at least 35 people, and the UN has announced that its food programs are slowly shutting down due to the Israeli refusal to let any humanitarian aid into the enclave.

White House fires multiple administration officials after president meets with far-right activist Laura Loomer
Donald Trump executed a rapid purge at the National Security Council after being handed a list of names of allegedly disloyal officials and secret Never Trumpers by none other than Laura Loomer, the deranged MAGA influencer most famous for getting banned from Uber for being too racist. How she could possibly know who is loyal or disloyal is unclear, since she (thankfully) does not work in the White House. But it's just another reminder that an increasingly senile Donald Trump is making serious policy and staffing decisions based on the direction of racist posters — and that in MAGA world, one day you're in, next day you're getting thrown out on your ass because a 9/11 truther said so.

Republicans want to move on tax cuts. The world keeps intervening
The GOP is eager to their promised tax cuts done and over with so they don't have to do any more work until they get thrown out of power in 2026, but that dang old president keeps on interfering with his incessant avalanche of scandals and chaos. Mike Johnson is busy fighting off a rebellion over proxy voting. The economy is in the tank. Lots of people, including Republicans, are freaking furious over DOGE's gutting of the federal workforce. The economy is suddenly in shambles! Apparently all this has "left Senate Republicans exhausted and more grumpy than usual during their closed-door meetings." Imagine how the rest of us feel.

AOC leads Schumer in head-to-head New York primary matchup by double digits
A new poll by Data for Progress found that progressive champion Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has spent the past four weeks barnstorming the country with Bernie Sanders on his "Fight the Oligarchy" tour, has a 55-36 lead over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has spent the past four weeks cancelling his book tour in order to avoid protests by furious Democrats demanding more action against Trump. Time for some new blood in the Senate?

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist quits WaPo, slams Jeff Bezos
Eugene Robinson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist at The Washington Post, announced that he’s leaving the newspaper on Thursday after billionaire owner Jeff Bezos’ overhaul to its editorial pages to reflect only pro-business opinions. “This is not the way we have worked to produce what is, I believe, objectively the best opinion section in American journalism and I would — I would defend that...I think it’s a mistake journalistically, I think it’s a mistake as a business proposition but, you know, it leaves us with choices and decisions to make about our futures.” He is only the latest big name to leave the once prestigious paper, whose reputation has plummeted after its billionaire owner began meddling in its affairs to advance his personal interests.

Trump vows his policies will "never change" after China retaliates with tariffs
This story is like the Titanic, except instead of accidentally scraping the iceberg, the senile captain deliberately pointed the ship at the iceberg, turned the throttle up to full blast, and held up both middle fingers as water filled the room around him.
