DHS reportedly considering a reality show where immigrants compete for citizenship
It may sound like "The Hunger Games," but — and this is super important — that story is a 👏 work 👏 of 👏 fiction. That Donald Trump's morally rotten brain trust is even considering a televised competition where desperate immigrants are pitted against each other to win citizenship is beyond parody and redefines evil. Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem's staff are denying reports that she's personally connected to the project but admitted that the show is in the "beginning stages" of the department’s vetting process and has not been approved or denied. And lest you think this is some long-shot fringe pitch from a basement-dwelling incel, it most certainly is not. Rob Worsoff, the Canadian-born writer, producer, and director behind "Duck Dynasty," "The Millionaire Matchmaker," and "Dating Naked," is the straight-from-the-simulator-named caveman behind the concept, which purportedly would have 12 contestants arrive by boat, dubbed "The Citizen Ship," at Ellis Island in New York City (of course) before traveling across the US by train and competing in various challenges. "Along the way, we will be reminded what it means to be American — through the eyes of the people who want it most," according to Worsoff. The "winner" would apparently be sworn in by a famed judge or politician in front of the Capitol building and receive a ridiculous set of prizes, such as 1 million American Airlines points, a $10,000 Starbucks Gift Card, or a lifetime supply of 76 gasoline. Seriously.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Democrats see unprecedented surge in 2026 candidates
Brian Tyler Cohen interviewed Run For Something founder Amanda Litman about the unprecedented wave of interest from young Democrats eager to get in the ring and right the ship of American democracy that has blown so far off course, you'd think Christopher Columbus was at the helm. Since the November 2024 election, Run For Something has had 45,000 people — most of them under the age of 40 — sign up and express interest in running for elected office in the near future. According to Litman, that's more than her group registered in three entire years during Trump's first presidency. A sea change is on the horizon, folks. Full steam ahead!

GOP lawmakers plot to kick millions off their healthcare
Care Can’t Wait: Lawmakers are coming for Medicaid — the program that covers more than 1 in 5 Americans. We’re talking kids, seniors, people with disabilities, caregivers, and millions of everyday folks who rely on it just to get by. The people who literally keep households running — are being shut out of basic health coverage. Without Medicaid, essential doctor visits, medications, and basic care is out of reach for so many. Click here to tell your reps it’s time to fix that mess and DEMAND they take action to protect our healthcare!

DOGE went looking for phone fraud at Social Security — and found almost none
Elon Musk and his DOGE goons claimed that 40% of the calls to Social Security were fraudulent. But after a new tool was installed, only 2 out of 110,000 — or 0.0018% — calls were found to be fraudulent. What they DID succeed in doing was needlessly slowing retirement claim processing by 25% and causing a "degradation of public service," which is the point of this whole self-destructive exercise in the first place.

NYU withholds diploma of student who condemned Gaza atrocities in graduation speech
On Wednesday, Logan Rozos, an undergraduate student speaker from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, delivered a commencement speech in which he said: "The only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine." He did not say the name "Israel" once, but anti-Palestinian hysteria has reached such a fever pitch that a mere acknowledgment of Palestinian human rights and the atrocities openly being committed on a daily basis, discussed at the highest levels of international discourse, is enough to withhold the diploma that this student paid and worked for. A stunning rollback of free speech and civil rights is unfolding in our academic institutions at the behest of a foreign government and our fascist leader.

Kid Rock tells Jesse Watters "ugly ass" liberal women are to blame for America's low birth rate
Robert James Ritchie, aka Kid Rock, wants America to know the root cause of the country's plateauing birth rate isn't the skyrocketing cost of living; a craven, for-profit healthcare industry that drives millions of people into crushing debt every year; or the decades-long, GOP-led crusade to undermine and dismantle our nation's social safety net. No, the real villains are, of course, women who think for themselves. "Listen, I was just watching your clips, and you know, we have this low birth rate in America, and it all made sense," the professional mouth breather told Fox News' TEMU Tucker Carlson. "It just hit me right now because who’s gonna sleep with these ugly ass, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS liberal women?" Riveting stuff, Mr. Rock! Or, perhaps, maybe a lot of women just aren't into misogynist creek rats who sing and listen to lyrics like: "Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage see. Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory)."

FBI shutters public corruption squad that aided Jack Smith's Trump investigations

Vulnerable GOP Trump-enabler Susan Collins has a Democratic challenger
Jordan for Maine: Susan Collins is wringing her hands over Trump’s destruction of our Constitution. She says she’s “concerned” but does nothing to stop him. She even voted against his impeachment because, in her words, he had “learned his lesson.” Obviously he hasn’t, but that hasn’t stopped her from looking the other way while he pillages our government. We’ve got a chance to replace Susan Collins and take back the Senate. Democrat Jordan Wood announced he’s running against her to do just that. Jordan’s a fighter who won’t take a DIME of corporate PAC money, so he needs our grassroots support. Will you chip in to help Jordan Wood flip the Senate and defeat Susan Collins?

Trump administration officials Say Secret Service is investigating ex-FBI Director James Comey's "86 47" social media post
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday that federal law enforcement is investigating a social media post made by former FBI Director James Comey that she and other Republicans suggest is a call for violence against Donald Trump. In an Instagram post, Comey wrote: “Cool shell formation on my beach walk” under a picture of seashells that appeared to form the shapes for "86 47." Merriam-Webster, the dictionary used by The Associated Press, says 86 is slang meaning “to throw out,” “to get rid of” or “to refuse service to.” It notes: “Among the most recent senses adopted is a logical extension of the previous ones, with the meaning of ‘to kill.’ We do not enter this sense, due to its relative recency and sparseness of use.”

Trump’s birthright order gets frosty reception, but justices appear ready to limit nationwide blocks
The good news is that the Supreme Court was absolutely not having any of Trump's ridiculous justifications for his extremely unconstitutional executive order calling for an end to birthright citizenship. The bad news is that the right-wing SCOTUS judges seem intent on restricting lower court judges' ability to stop Trump's illegal actions by way of a nationwide injunction. "The practical problem is that there are 680 district court judges … and all Article III judges are vulnerable to an occupational disease, which is the disease of thinking that 'I am right and I can do whatever I want,'" said Samuel Alito, who is Patient Zero for the condition he literally just described. It's clear that the radical, right-wing ideologies on this court are willing to do anything and everything to enable Trump's disastrous agenda...as long as they can maintain a laughable veneer of respect for the Constitution.

Hospital tells family brain-dead Georgia woman must carry fetus to birth because of abortion ban
The family of Adriana Smith has been forced to watch their loved one exist in a vegetative state for three months, reduced to a living incubator by draconian GOP abortion laws that obligate the hospital to keep her alive until her fetus comes to term — and the child may not even make it once he is born, as there is fluid building up in his brain. “She’s pregnant with my grandson. But he may be blind, may not be able to walk, may not survive once he’s born,” said Smith's mother, April Newkirk said. So much needless cruelty and suffering for all parties involved...except for the (overwhelmingly male) Republican lawmakers responsible for this heartbreaking situation.

Israeli bombing kills over 250 people in 24 hours
Dozens of women and children were killed by a relentless Israeli bombing and artillery campaign that continues to rain death and destruction on the battered enclave as Donald Trump visited the Middle East. "These images from Gaza today are beyond the most apocalyptic of imaginations. There are no buildings standing but the rubble keeps being bombed because among the rubble human beings are still moving and falling, with nowhere to go," wrote author Bruno Maçães on Twitter as horrific footage of the strikes emerged.
