Republican senator says babies born to undocumented immigrants in the US should be deported
Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin wants everyone to know he means business when it comes to helping Donald Trump reach his infernal mass deportation goals, and to that end he's got one super scary demographic squarely in his sights: babies. There simply is no bottom for these morally debased goblins; they will always drill deeper for even lower lows.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis slams his party's megabill after Trump forces him into retirement
Thom Tillis committed the unforgivable sin of showing the slightest semblance of a backbone and voting his conscience on behalf of his North Carolina constituents. For his act of um, we'll call it bravery, he's paying a handsome political price: early retirement. Just one day after voting against Trump's disastrous budget bill that will strip healthcare away from millions of Americans and add $3.3 TRILLION to the national debt in exchange for yet another tax cut for the megawealthy, Tillis announced he will not seek reelection next year and avoid being primaried by whichever MAGA sycophant promises to kowtow the hardest to Dear Leader's agenda. Free to finally speak his mind, Tillis ripped Trump's budget bill and openly admitted the Republican Party is being held hostage by a wannabe dictator: "I look forward to having the pure freedom to call the balls and strikes as I see fit and representing the great people of North Carolina to the best of my ability." But sure, not a cult. Not an authoritarian bully. Not a banana republic.

Trump’s big bad bill auctions off our pristine Arctic wilderness for corporate pillaging
Protect the Arctic: You’ve been hearing for weeks about the giant reconciliation bill that Republicans are working to push through Congress. Well, we won’t beat around the bush: THIS IS THE WORST ENVIRONMENTAL BILL IN HISTORY. It FORCES the government to sell off millions of acres of our public Arctic land for oil and gas development, allowing big corporations to run roughshod over sacred Native lands, critical wildlife preserves, and pristine wilderness. They’re selling off our children’s birthright for pennies on the dollar so they can pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. We need all hands on deck ASAP to stop this dystopian nightmare from becoming reality. Click here to make your voice heard and tell the Senate to protect the Arctic and STOP the sale of our public lands!

Immigration raids leave crops unharvested, California farms at risk
In today's episode of Who Could've Possibly Seen This Coming Besides Everyone? we bring you this entirely predictable and infuriating development. In the vast agricultural lands north of Los Angeles, stretching from Ventura County into the state’s central valley, farmers, field supervisors, and immigrant farmworkers told Reuters that Donald Trump's ICE raids have led to a majority of workers simply not showing up — leaving huge crops of fruits and vegetables to rot at peak harvest time. Shocking!

Top Iranian cleric issues fatwa against Trump and Netanyahu for being "enemies of god"
Iran's top Shiite cleric has issued a "fatwa" or religious decree against President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling them "enemies of God." The decree from Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi called on Muslims across the world to unite and bring down the American and Israeli leaders for threatening the Islamic republic leadership. "Any person or regime that threatens the Leader or Marja (May God forbid) is considered a 'warlord' or a 'mohareb,'" Makarem said in the ruling, according to Mehr News Agency. A mohareb is someone who wages war against God, and under Iranian law, those identified as mohareb can face execution, crucifixion, limb amputation, or exile.

UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran could again begin enriching uranium in "matter of months"
Hey, remember when Donald Trump stood before the American people on national TV and called his airstrikes a "spectacular military success" that "completely and totally obliterated" Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities? Yeah, no. The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog poured a bucket of ice water on that steaming pile of nonsense and said that Tehran could actually restart enriching uranium "in a matter of months" — which they almost certainly will do with unchecked urgency now that we've all but abandoned diplomacy in favor of kablooey.

Trump threatens to cut off billions in funding to Israel — if corruption charges against Netanyahu aren't dropped
No big deal. Just one oft-indicted, criminal con man going to bat for another and dangling "billions" in foreign aid if he doesn't get his way.

Top Democrat comes under furious GOP fire for opposing Trump's catastrophic bill
Chris Pappas for Senate: Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Chris Pappas did the right thing, as he has for each of his 20 years in public service, and voted against Trump's tax bill because it would kick millions of Americans off their healthcare, and now the GOP is trying to make him pay the price. Within hours of passage, the Republican National Senatorial Committee blasted Pappas on social media for having “just voted against the largest middle class tax cut in history" (an outrageous lie) in an attempt to derail his campaign for the must-win New Hampshire Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. Shaheen. Will you chip in to Chris Pappas' campaign to say THANK YOU for doing the right thing and help him fight back against the relentless attacks from Trump's cronies?

Lara Trump reportedly "seriously considering" run for Senate
The wife of the son of the convicted felon born with a silver spoon in his mouth is reportedly considering a run for the soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat in North Carolina, but sure, Kamala Harris, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the like are "DEI hires." Got it.

DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship
The Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their US citizenship. Department leadership is directing its attorneys to prioritize denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes — and giving district attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic, according to a June 11 memo published online. The move is aimed at US citizens who were not born in the country; according to data from 2023, close to 25 million immigrants were naturalized citizens. Denaturalization is a tactic that was heavily used during the McCarthy era of the late 1940s and the early 1950s and one that was expanded during the Obama administration and grew further during Donald Trump's first term. It's meant to strip citizenship from those who may have lied about their criminal convictions or membership in illegal groups like the Nazi party, or communists during McCarthyism, on their citizenship applications.

Idaho police say lone sniper dead in ambush killing of two firefighters
A man believed by police to be the only shooter in the ambush-style killing of two firefighters in Coeur d’Alène, Idaho was found dead by authorities on Sunday, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris told the press at a late evening briefing. He also confirmed that a third injured firefighter is "fighting for his life" but is in stable condition after surgery. "This was a total ambush," said Norris to reporters. "These firefighters did not have a chance." At the briefing on Sunday night, the Sheriff explained that the fire appeared to have been set in order to lure first responders to the scene to be ambushed. The sniper, who police say appears to have acted alone, opened fire, killing two of the firefighters and seriously injuring a third. The sniper was then directed at police officers responding to the shooting of the firefighters. The police tracked a cell phone "activation" that was stationary on the mountainside, the Sheriff said in the second briefing, explaining they "honed in on that cell phone, and we saw that there was a male, appeared to be deceased with a weapon nearby." Norris was unable to provide any potential motive for the ambush.
