VIDEO OF THE DAY: Fox host shuts down interview after getting destroyed on his own show
Texas state Democratic Rep. James Talarico joined Will Cain's Fox News show remotely from Illinois, where he and other Texas Democrats have decamped until the GOP abandons their incredibly undemocratic crusade to gerrymander state maps to give Trump another five seats in the US House. Talarico demolished Cain's accusations of having abandoned his post and nailed him with one simple question: "If Republican policies are popular, why do they need to redraw these maps, why can't they run on their policies?" Cain couldn't answer and ended up just cutting the interview short. Can't let viewers grapple with the fundamental contradiction at the heart of American politics...which is, of course, that we are tyrannically ruled by a small minority of extremist ideologues and weirdo grifters who cannot cling to power without constantly cheating.

Sherrod Brown to run for Senate again
Former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, who lost a heartbreaking race to billionaire MAGA moron Bernie Moreno in the nightmare 2024 election, has decided he's not done and will challenge Sen. Jon Husted for the other Senate seat in Ohio. This gives Democrats a huge chance to win back a desperately needed seat in the upper chamber, as Husted was appointed to his post just this year and won't have the normal incumbency boost to prop him up in 2026. Let's get to work!

Trump plans military "reaction force" to use against Americans
President Trump and the Pentagon are considering creating a full-time "Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force" that could be called on to quash civil unrest and protest at a moment’s notice, according to internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post. Between this so-called rapid response force and the Texas redistricting power grab, it's clear that Trump and his MAGA cronies are desperately trying to take away our two main tools of peaceful resistance — protesting and voting — to his fascist regime.

Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling by former county clerk who has been married 4 times
Former Kentucky county clerk and intolerable right-wing martyr Kim Davis, who was jailed for six days in 2015 for refusing to do her fucking job and issue marriage licenses to gay couples, is back on her "it just ain't right" bullshit. Davis, who has been married FOUR times, is appealing a $100,000 jury verdict for emotional damages plus $260,000 for attorneys fees stemming from her case. She has also formally asked the Supreme Court of the United States to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark 2015 ruling that finally extended marriage rights for same-sex couples under the 14th Amendment's pesky due process protections, calling it "egregiously wrong" and a work of "legal fiction." For Davis, the mere idea of a gay couple formalizing their union is clearly sullying the sanctity of her fourth marriage, which followed her third failed marriage, which began after she divorced for the second time, which of course was preceded by her first marriage, which ended four months after her future third ex-husband impregnated her with twins. So much sanctity!

Laura Loomer accuses top RFK Jr. aide of prepping his 2028 bid as MAGA purge intensifies
Incredibly racist, right-wing gutter rat Laura Loomer is having one helluva week, having surged back into the deeply unflattering spotlight with a we-hate-to-admit-it's-hilarious feud with Marjorie Taylor Greene. The impressively shameless MAGA airhorn has apparently turned her attention to a new (old) foe, accusing Health and Human Services Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of secretly undermining Trump's agenda while quietly laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential run of his own. Loomer, who has previously called the ex-heroin addict, serial philanderer, and infamous roadkill collector a "Marxist" and "very problematic person," has taken issue with Kennedy's closest aide, Stefanie Spear, a longtime Democratic activist with policy positions very far to the left of Dear Leader and his red-hatted cult.

"GO AWAY!" English residents protest JD Vance's vacation with infamous memes
Cosplay hillbilly JD Vance — who, again, once dubbed Donald Trump "America's Hitler" — obviously sold the space in his chest cavity where a soul theoretically might exist to the devil, and, in the short term, it appears to have paid off for the vice president. But there are consequences when you abandon all principle and willingly engage in ruinous, democracy-busting shithousery for personal gain. May every vacation Vance takes for the rest of his days be met with equal and hilarious scorn. Run, JD, run!
