Trump calls Democrats "the party of hate, evil, and Satan" in late-night, AI-fueled Truth Social posting spree
Hey, remember when we were all breathlessly lectured by self-important talking heads on television about the urgent need to dial down the incendiary rhetoric in the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing a few weeks ago? Yeah, no. Our wannabe dictator has consistently set the tone — as he has done since his abominable, racist birther crusade began nearly 15 years ago — at radioactive levels and is far and away the individual most responsible for the annihilation of civic norms in this country. Yesterday was no different, as Donald spent the third night of his destructive government shutdown doom-spewing garbage post after garbage post — including one AI-generated video of him dressed like the Grim Reaper playing a cowbell — demonizing Democrats and literally calling them satanic. Every day is a new low. We're gonna release a Balrog if we aren't careful, folks.

Take Action: End corporations' predatory surveillance pricing!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Bernie and AOC drop truth bomb on Trump amid shutdown
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spelled out precisely what's at stake if Donald Trump and Republicans get their way in the shutdown fight to fund the federal government: millions of Americans losing their health insurance and tens of thousands dying as a result. We cannot abide.

Take Action: Tell Congress to build clean energy now!

Newsom’s new map opens up MAJOR opportunity to unseat California’s "mini-Trump"
Marni von Wilpert for Congress: The new maps pushed through by California Governor Gavin Newsom to fight back against Trump’s efforts to rig the midterms has opened up the perfect opportunity to get rid of one of his most loyal acolytes in the House, the infamously corrupt Darrel Issa. Progressive federal labor attorney Marni von Wilpert is launching her bid to take advantage of this newly competitive district and unseat Issa for good. A proven winner, von Wilpert previously flipped a city council seat from red to blue, fought to ban ghost guns, prosecuted the opioid industry, took on price gougers driving up costs for families, and helped write the PRO Act to strengthen unions. This fight isn’t going to be easy, but the new maps have given us an opportunity to win a seat we didn’t have before. We can’t afford to squander this advantage in an election where every last seat could mean the difference between holding the tide against Trump or allowing fascism to fully take over. Will you make a donation to help win this critical race?

Trump no longer distancing himself from Project 2025 as he uses shutdown to further pursue its awful goals
Well, now, would you look at that? Turns out the 79-year-old serial fraudster DID know all about Project 2025 and was dead set on exacting its menacing cruelty on the masses all along! Truly shocking stuff from the world's most cravenly shameless liar.

Take Action: Tell Trump: NO $20 billion taxpayer bailout for his idiot buddy Milei!

Republican bill targets migrants who re-enter US illegally with mandatory 10-year sentences
Trump's MAGA sycophants in Congress have rallied behind a new and deeply inhumane approach to deterring unauthorized immigration — a mass incarceration bill that would imprison migrants in America for a DECADE at a time. Criminal justice groups describe the bill, HR3486, as a wildly impractical measure that would shunt tens of thousands of people into prisons for a non-violent offense over the next few years, while logjamming the federal courts — at a cost of roughly $440,000 for every person incarcerated, according to an estimate from the Federal Public and Community Defenders Legislative Committee. The measure would impose draconian new penalties on defendants that often have urgent reasons for migrating to the US, criminal justice reformers say — like attempting to reunite with family members here or escaping violence or poverty in their country of origin. But those egg prices, amirite?

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump spiritual adviser, pleads guilty to sexually abusing a child
Robert Morris, the Texas megachurch pastor who built Gateway Church into one of the largest congregations in the country, pleaded guilty Thursday to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s. Morris, who famously served as Donald Trump's "spiritual adviser" during his first term in office, admitted to five felony counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. Under a negotiated plea agreement, he was given a 10-year sentence, but for some unfuckingbelievable reason will serve only SIX MONTHS — in a county jail, no less! He must also register as a sex offender and pay $250,000 in restitution. Justice for some, accountability for the few, y'all.

This rollback could turn over 45 million acres of national forestlands to private logging companies
Earthjustice: National forests that are part of our public lands system are under attack by the Trump administration. For nearly 25 years, pristine forests in backcountry lands across the nation have been off limits to massive corporate logging operations, thanks to a Forest Service policy known as the Roadless Rule. These forests provide vital wildlife habitat; protect clean, mountain-fed drinking water for millions of Americans; and provide endless recreational opportunities like camping, hunting, fishing, rafting, and mountain biking. Join the fight to protect the forests that belong to all of us, by keeping the Roadless Rule in place!

Spending soars, rankings fall at New College of Florida
Conservatives in Florida took over a liberal arts college. You won't believe what happened next... oh wait, yes you will, because of course they drove it into the ground. Gov. Ron DeSantis celebrated the takeover as an "end to woke indoctrination," and gave the school a staggering $118 MILLION budget for just 900 students, and now graduation rates have plummeted because the students keep leaving. The college has nosedived in the US News & World Report Best Colleges rankings, from 76th in 2022 to 135th this year, despite spending a ridiculous $134,000 per student. It turns out all the money in the world isn't enough to convince young people to stick around for DeSantis’ creepy, right-wing indoctrination curriculum.

Trump's tariffs spur China, India to invest in South African carmakers
The economy is recoiling, we're hemorrhaging jobs, the federal government is shuttered, the price of basically everything is skyrocketing, and the world's most populous countries are turning away from the United States and investing in auto manufacturing elsewhere. Everything is going precisely to Donald's master plan!
