VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump pulls absurd stunt on Canada's new leader, gets shut down instantly
Donald Trump met with newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday and immediately went on yet another bizarre, rambling spiel about how our sovereign neighbors to the north should become the 51st state. It was this kind of nonsense that helped swing the election for Carney's Liberal Party in the first place, and the prime minister wasted no time in disabusing the MAGA cult leader of his ridiculous crusade.

Republicans waffling on Trump's extremist nominee for US attorney in DC even after president weighs in
News just broke that the MAGA cult leader's deranged nominee for the US attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, is now in serious doubt as GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina has come out as a no vote on his nomination. Martin, a diehard MAGA extremist who has defended January 6 rioters, associated with neo-Nazis, and appeared on Russian state media more than 150 times, has no prosecutorial experience, but he did work tirelessly to overturn the 2020 election and upend American democracy.

Marine veteran answers call to resist Trump
JoAnna Mendoza for Congress: JoAnna Mendoza served our country for twenty years as a drill sergeant in the United States Marines, training the brave men and women who defend our country overseas, and now she’s ready to defend our nation from Donald Trump’s extremism in the halls of Congress. As a lifelong public servant, JoAnna refuses to sit idly by while Donald Trump and Elon dismantle the systems that provide for our veterans after their service and send countless more vets to the unemployment line with their gutting of the federal government. Will you chip in to help Joanna flip this winnable red seat and take back control of Congress from the GOP?
Oklahoma schools will be required to teach Trump’s disproven election lies
After spending years howling in fury about imaginary left-wing agendas in school education, the Oklahoma GOP is now forcing public school curriculums to include the MAGA cult leader's debunked and utterly baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, claiming the measure is meant to stop kids from being "spoon-fed left wing propaganda." So instead, Republicans are going to spoon-feed them horseshit, right-wing propaganda. This is how you rewrite history — raising a generation of kids to believe in complete and utter nonsense.

Joe Biden accuses Trump of "modern-day appeasement" towards Russia
In his first interview since leaving the White House in January, Joe Biden has accused Donald Trump of "modern-day appeasement" — a pointed reference to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s attempts to appease Adolf Hitler in the 1930s — in his approach to Russia and expressed fears that Europe would "lose confidence in the certainty of America." "He [Vladimir Putin] believes it [Russia] has historical rights to Ukraine," Biden told the BBC. Anybody who thought the Russian president would stop if Kyiv conceded territory, as recently proposed by Trump, "is just foolish," Biden noted. Foolish sounds just about right.

Trump picks Rudy Giuliani’s son for key World Cup post
Andrew Giuliani is a huge fan of golf, which apparently makes him qualified to serve as executive director of Donald Trump's 2026 FIFA World Cup task force. Giuliani is going to have his work cut out for him, because getting people to WANT to come to the United States after what Trump, DHS secretary Kristi Noem, and ICE have done to non-citizens in this country since January is going to be difficult indeed. JD Vance helped make Giuliani's work easier for him by threatening FIFA fans with ICE detention and accompanying strip-searches. "I know we'll have visitors probably from close to 100 countries. We want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the game. But when the time is up, they'll have to go home, otherwise they'll have to talk to Secretary [Kristi] Noem," Vance said. Sounds enticing!

Elon Musk’s data company draws a backlash in Memphis
Not a single methane gas turbine powering xAI's massive supercomputer in Tennessee has pollution controls, making Musk's data company one of the area's largest emitters of smog-producing nitrogen oxide in less than a year. People are understandably PISSED. "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside," said Boxtown resident Alexis Humphreys. "How come I can't breathe at home and y’all get to breathe at home?" Boxtown is more than 90% Black and already has sky-high rates of asthma due to the 17 OTHER major industrial facilities in the area, a clear example of the appalling environmental racism that is so pervasive in this country. Elon is apparently not just content to poison people's minds with his stupid social media site; now he's poisoning their bodies, too.
ICE agents storm DC restaurants and demand to interrogate employees: "Pretty unnerving"
Nothing says "land of the free" like armed police bursting into restaurants during the lunch rush to search for unwanted minorities in the back — the very same minorities who are very much keeping the American restaurant industry afloat. Might as well tank that along with the rest of the economy, right?
GOP moderates warm up to Mike Johnson’s latest Medicaid plan
GOP leadership have come up with a novel solution for overhauling Medicaid: Strict work requirements! Frequent eligibility checks! Cracking down on coverage for noncitizens! The same old stupid, inefficient, and very costly bullshit they trot out every year that always ends up costing an arm and leg in both jobs and money just to make sure a few extra people DON'T GET HEALTHCARE!
Trump to announce US will "rename" Persian Gulf as the "Arabian Gulf" in snub to Iran
Fresh sharpie in hand, the MAGA cult leader is reportedly planning to announce that the United States will begin referring to the Persian Gulf as the “Arabian Gulf” or “Gulf of Arabia” in a pathetic snub to Iran. Deep burn, sir! Be sure to choose the Ayatollah last during pick-up basketball, too! If you're wondering how toothless and performative Donald's silly renaming-of-things proclamations actually are, fire up a VPN connection and open Google Maps from literally any IP address outside the United States, then have a virtual look around.
