Demand Congress stop Trump from accepting an illegal $400 million plane bribe from Qatar!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump makes shock admission in late-night confession
The MAGA cult leader is poised to accept a $400 MILLION ~~bribe~~ gift from the Qatari government in the form of a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet described as a "flying palace," and he's clearly feeling the blowback from one of the most blatant corruption scandals in the history of our country. Trump claims it's nothing more than a great deal for the American people — a free plane to replace Air Force One! Temporarily, of course. Donald would conveniently take personal possession of the aircraft in 2029 and definitely never use it again and simply park it at his future presidential library. Uh huh. This is not a gift to America. It is a gift to Donald Trump. And spin how he may, the wannabe dictator's declaration that the luxury airliner is a "GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE" is quite literally the problem. Quid pro whoa?! [RETWEET THAT!]

Trump promises immediate sweeping cuts to drug prices in his "most important and impactful" Truth Social post
With the latest scribble-stroke of his sharpie, Donald Trump has hereby proclaimed that the price of prescription drugs will "almost immediately" be slashed by 30% to 80% for Americans. Incredible if true! The announcement did not detail how Trump plans to implement his plans or achieve such rapid savings, of course, but who needs details when you can have spectacles instead!

Take Action: Tax the rich!

GOP silent as Trump and Elon backstab our veterans
VoteVets: Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relentless efforts to gut the federal government and dismantle its agencies is a full-fledged attack on our veterans. One-third of the federal workforce are veterans. DOGE’s budget cuts are gutting veteran livelihoods, public service careers, and threatening their access to essential care. That’s why VoteVets is launching a movement to fight back and restore the institutions that our vets risked their lives to protect. Will you add your name and stand with our veterans against Donald Trump’s rampage?

China and US agree to 90-day pause to trade war initiated by Donald Trump's tariffs
China and the US have reportedly agreed to a 90-day pause to the deepening trade war triggered by Donald Trump's tariff crusade that has threatened to upend the global economy, with reciprocal tariffs to be lowered by 115 percentage points. The 90-day lowering of tariffs applies to the duties announced by Trump in early April, which ultimately escalated to 125% on most Chinese imports, with Beijing responding with equivalent measures. China also imposed non-tariff measures, such as restricting the export of critical minerals that are essential to US manufacturing of hi-tech goods. A spokesperson for China’s ministry of commerce said: "This move meets the expectations of producers and consumers in both countries, as well as the interests of both nations and the common interest of the world. We hope that the US side will, based on this meeting, continue to move forward in the same direction with China, completely correct the erroneous practice of unilateral tariff hikes, and continually strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation."

GOP unveils plan to kick over 8 million off Medicaid
House Republicans late Sunday unveiled legislation that analysts said would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans — including children and people with disabilities — to help fund tax breaks that would disproportionately benefit the wealthy. The legislation includes major changes to Medicaid that, if enacted, would kick millions from the program, including work requirements for some enrollees and new payment mandates for adults living above 100% of the federal poverty level — which, for a single individual, is $15,650 in annual income for 2025. A snap analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the healthcare section of the new Republican bill would cut spending by at least $715 billion over the next decade and leave at least 8.6 million more people without insurance. Make America Healthy Again, right?

US halts cattle imports from Mexico, citing fears of flesh-eating maggot
MAGA measles, murder hornets, and flesh-eating maggots, oh my! US officials have halted imports of ALL live cattle from Mexico over growing concerns of a flesh-eating parasite called — we are not making this up — the New World screwworm.

Doomsday Bullshit Bingo is on a roll, people. Don't forget to place a marker on your "Fascism Ain't Free" center square!

Jasmine Crockett says Dem donors want the "safest white boy" possible for 2028: "There is one specific candidate"
During an appearance on SiriusXM's "Urban View," Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett pulled no punches in her assessment of what kind of candidate establishment Democrats and donors alike are focusing on for the 2028 race — the "safest white boy" possible. "It is, it is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost. So far. And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win. So there’s a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let’s go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I'm just saying." The third-term congresswoman took things a step further, adding, "And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate. I had a donor on the phones with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I tell you, it’s not a Black person nor a woman, okay?"

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?

DOGE cuts leave federal staff cleaning their own toilets, forgoing office supplies altogether
Outgoing DOGE ding dong Elon Musk's crusade against "wasteful" government spending has officially crossed the stupid rubicon, as The Washington Post has revealed that government employees have been forced to clean their own bathrooms. Delayed approval for new contracts has resulted in a dire lack of janitorial staff at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), while holdups on IT hires mean the agency has also been repeatedly hit with unmanageable internet and phone service outages. The delay in getting the cleaners back in owes to new rules requiring top-level approval from political appointees at the Department of Commerce, of which NOAA is a part, with similar cost-cutting measures creating chaos at other agencies. But wait, there's (always) more! At the Social Security Administration, the ONE DOLLAR spending limit placed on government credit cards by Phony Stark has resulted in some staff foregoing the use of basic office supplies, while officials at the Environmental Protection Agency are seeing their research stymied by having to ask permission for any new lab purchases. It is so good to be great (and efficient) again!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says there will be hell to pay if Dems are arrested for ICE protest
Ocasio-Cortez did not take kindly to ridiculous Republican threats to arrest Democratic lawmakers who were involved in a peaceful confrontation at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Newark, New Jersey last week. The New York Democrat accused the Trump regime of illegally preventing a group of Garden State Democrats from touring the facility, where Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing on Friday. Afterwards, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said the government was looking into arresting three congress members who joined Baraka during the visit. "They're using public intimidation because they know that they cannot come for us all," Ocasio-Cortez said during a livestream on social media Saturday night, adding, "You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem."
