If you thought the Trump family couldn't sink any lower into the cesspool of gutter civics, well, think again...

House GOP advances Trump's "big, beautiful" tax giveaway to the wealthy with late-night mystery modification
House Republicans narrowly advanced Donald Trump’s huge tax-cut giveaway to the wealthy out of a key committee during a rare Sunday night vote, but just barely, as conservative holdouts are demanding quicker cuts to Medicaid and green energy programs before giving their full support. The Budget Committee, which just days ago failed to advance the package when four conservative Republicans objected, was able to do so Sunday on a vote of 17-16, with the four holdouts voting "present" to allow it to move ahead, as talks continue on how best to exact maximum harm on the lower class while ensuring the wealthiest among us reap the most rewards. But, as is nearly always the case with the Republican-controlled House under Mike Johnson, dysfunction still reigns supreme. "The bill does not yet meet the moment," said House Freedom Caucus leader Chip Roy, in a social media post immediately after the late-night session. "We can and must do better before we pass the final product." Turns out getting a cantankerous clown caucus to agree on how best to f*ck over ordinary American people is pretty hard work!

Time is running out to stop Trump’s huge attack on Endangered Species Act
Earthjustice: For 50 years, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been used to save vulnerable species from extinction. Now, the Trump administration wants to severely undermine that common-sense principle and rewrite the rules to open the door to logging, mining, drilling, and development in vital habitats. The public comment period ends TODAY and we have to make our voices heard. Click here to tell the Trump administration that you support habitat protections for endangered species!
Trump demands "major investigation" into 4 huge stars in middle-of-the-night meltdown
In yet another signature, late-night, all-caps screed, the MAGA cult leader revved up his petty grievance machine and took dead aim at — why not — Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, and Bono, claiming the four superstars were paid to publicly endorse Kamala Harris last year, because backing a Democratic candidate whose policies ostensibly better align with their own values clearly could have played no part in their decisions. "I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment," Trump thumb-smashed shortly after 1:30am. So good to know our tireless leader is keeping such long hours to tackle the most pressing issues of the day.

25-year-old "pro-mortalist" Guy Bartkus named as bomber in Palm Springs fertility clinic attack
A suspect believed to have carried out the bombing just outside the American Reproductive Center in Palm Springs on Saturday has been identified as 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus. The blast gutted the IVF clinic, which was housed in a single-story building, and injured several people. Bartkus, who authorities confirmed acted alone and was motivated by "nihilistic intentions," died in the attack. Bartkus allegedly stated in writings and recordings that he was against bringing people into the world against their will. "I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I've decided to bomb an IVF building or clinic. Basically, it just comes down to I'm angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here," he said in a recently released recording.

Insiders say Trump’s alliance with RFK Jr. is falling apart
Who could've possibly seen the craven, unholy alliance between the philandering, worm-addled, narcissistic conspiracy theorist and the other philandering, worm-addled, narcissistic conspiracy theorist falling apart so quickly?!

Verizon ends DEI policies to get FCC's blessing for its $20 billion Frontier deal
Verizon has become the latest major enterprise to fall in line and end super-scary-to-white-people policies around diversity, equity and inclusion in order to placate the MAGA cult leader and stay off the right-wing government's ever-growing shit list. Sure, baseline efforts and minimum standards to help ensure workplaces better reflect the diverse and dynamic make-up of the American populace might seem anodyne and sensible, given our country's shoddy track record when it comes to race and gender, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Quarterly profits clearly matter most, and Fortune 500 companies just gotta keep reaping billions in profits from whatever business ventures they are currently pursuing, which in Verizon's case just so happens to include a $20 billion acquisition of Frontier Communications, which Trump's FCC just conveniently approved on Friday. In its announcement approving the deal, the FCC specifically cited Verizon's commitment "to ending DEI-related practices." It is so good to be great again.

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!
Trump set to implore Putin to end the "bloodbath" in Ukraine in high-stakes phone call
The MAGA cult leader — who repeatedly promised on the campaign trail to end Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine in 24 hours if and when he returned to the White House — is set to speak with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin later this morning in what he said will be an attempt to stop the "bloodbath" of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia "highly values" and is "grateful to the American side." In a briefing with journalists, he said that if the US can "help to achieve our goals through peaceful means, then this is indeed preferable." Indeed preferable to the senseless brutality that has claimed several hundred thousand casualties on all sides since Russia's unilateral invasion more than three years ago? Why, preferable indeed.
