VIDEO OF THE DAY: Embattled Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth hit with bombshell bad news
The hits keep coming for Trump DUI hire Pete Hegseth. NPR is reporting that the White House has begun exploring new leadership options at the Pentagon as Donald's fledgling Defense secretary was again mired in pathetic controversy over sharing classified military operational details in a group chat — this time with his wife and brother. Publicly, the Trump regime is putting on a brave face, claiming the MAGA cult leader "stands strongly" behind Hegseth. Donald went so far as to laughably call the concerns over the Signal leaks a "waste of time," but clearly, behind the scenes, there is drunken trouble on the set.

Fox News MAGA cheerleader scolds viewers worried about their retirement accounts: "You're not in the game, President Donald Trump is"
Grant Cardone, a MAGAhat private equity fund manager with a net worth north of $500 million, scolded ordinary Americans understandably spooked by the chaos Donald Trump has unleashed on the markets and the precipitous fall of retirement account values across the board, accusing them of underestimating the MAGA cult leader's plan. The sycophant expounded, "Let’s keep this real. Donald Trump has Plan A, one plan, Make America Great Again. There is no other plan and the short-term traders or the pundits on TV that are watching Wall Street, look guys, this is beyond your pay plan. This man is a master in negotiating. So, you guys that are at home and you're worried about your 401(k), your IRA, or you traders out there or bankers that are worried about your commissions, just step aside. This is not the time for Monday quarterbacking. You're not in the game, President Donald Trump is. You've underestimated him over and over and you’re doing the same thing this time." The contempt and disdain these vampires have the for the very people that put them in power is truly remarkable. Fun fact: the DOW, S&P, and NASDAQ are down 10%, 12%, and a whopping 17%, respectively, on the year. So. Much. Winning.

FBI agent who exposed Trump corruption runs for Congress
John Sullivan for Congress: Veteran FBI agent John Sullivan worked to protect our country for 17 years under multiple presidents from both parties and even worked on the January 6th cases. He resigned in protest of Donald Trump's outrageous attempts to abuse our law enforcement to serve his own ambitions and the way he's putting our country in serious danger. Now he’s running for Congress to put a stop to Trump’s destructive agenda once and for all — but Elon Musk is pouring millions into his opponent’s war chest. Will you chip in to help kick-start John Sullivan’s campaign and retake Congress from the GOP?

Two German backpackers were arrested, strip-searched, and thrown in jail before being deported
Charlotte Pohl, 19, and Maria Lepere, 18, arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii, from Auckland, New Zealand, with plans to explore Hawaii before continuing to California and Costa Rica. However, their flexible travel style — including a lack of pre-booked lodging for their planned five-week Hawaii stay — apparently raised red flags for the jackbooted thugs at the Customs and Border Patrol, who thought the appropriate response was to humiliate them with strip searches and prison jumpsuits and then lock them up. The teenagers described horrid living conditions, included sleeping on thin, moldy mattresses, using rudimentary toilets, and being warned by guards to avoid expired food. They were then deported to Japan. There is absolutely no possible excuse for this kind of treatment except a genuine desire to inflict pain and suffering on non-Americans. We are going to have to fire a LOT of people after this nightmare is all over.

Trump Education Department says it will refer 5 million student loan borrowers to debt collectors
We somehow went from exploring compassionate student loan forgiveness plans for millions of struggling Americans under President Biden to referring them to debt collectors for endless harassment and turmoil under Donald Trump, because...eggs are expensive, or something? The Trump administration is the proverbial jackboot on the neck of the American people, for one cruel reason or another. It is SO good to be great again.

Harvard sues Trump administration to stop the freeze of more than $2 billion in grants
Harvard University announced Monday that it has filed suit to halt a federal freeze on more than $2.2 billion in grants after the institution said it would defy the Trump administration’s draconian demands to limit activism on campus and reshape its educational mission in the mold and vision of the MAGA cult leader. The Trump administration reportedly ACCIDENTALLY sent an email to university leaders with a laundry list of demands, which Harvard summarily dismissed, prompting the White House to announce the grant freeze. "The Government has not — and cannot — identify any rational connection between antisemitism concerns and the medical, scientific, technological, and other research it has frozen that aims to save American lives, foster American success, preserve American security, and maintain America’s position as a global leader in innovation," said the lawsuit, filed in Boston federal court.
