VIDEO OF THE DAY: Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks Mike Johnson over healthcare lies
Marjorie Taylor Greene has had it with House Speaker Mike Johnson's bullshit excuses for doing absolutely nothing when it comes to making healthcare affordable in the United States. Now, hand Greene exactly nothing, because HER plan includes killing off the Affordable Care Act altogether, but the QAnon congresswoman has lost all patience when it comes to the GOP leader's endless obfuscation and inaction. You love to hate to see it.

GOP Rep. James Comer says Trump family making hundreds of millions from crypto business is OK because "they're admitting they're doing this"
Did you catch that? Donald Trump using and abusing the Oval Office to make mind-boggling sums of money for himself and his family is totally fine and above board because they are openly "admitting" to their corruption! This coming from House Rep. and Inspector Clouseau enthusiast James Comey, who spent YEARS chasing down one flimsy "lead" after another trying to bring down the "Biden crime family." In one particularly dubious claim, Comey accused Joe Biden of taking a whopping $40,000 in "China money" that was somehow connected to a Ukrainian energy company and probably Hunter's penis and obviously warranted the former president's impeachment. Meanwhile, the Trump clan has seen a 17-FOLD increase in income this year, including $800,000,000 in crypto sales alone. Seriously.

Former school board president launches campaign to put a stop to Greg Abbott’s carnival of corruption
Gina Hinojosa for Governor: Gina Hinojosa was just an ordinary Texas mom — until Greg Abbott tried to close her son’s public school as part of his plot to turn our schools into for-profit schemes. Gina got involved in politics to fight back, her journey taking her to the school board presidency and the state legislature. Now she’s running to kick Greg Abbott out for good and put an end to his kleptocracy of MAGA extremism and flagrant corruption. Will you chip in to help kick-start her campaign?

Israel’s military says ceasefire is back on as death toll from overnight strikes in Gaza reaches 104
Israel’s military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it carried out heavy airstrikes overnight across the Palestinian territory that killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the military to conduct “powerful strikes” over Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire when the militant group handed over body parts that Israel said were the partial remains of a hostage recovered earlier in the war. Netanyahu called the return of these body parts a “clear violation” of the ceasefire agreement, which requires Hamas to return the remaining hostages in Gaza as soon as possible. In response to the Israeli strikes, Hamas said that it would delay handing over the body of another hostage. Donald Trump defended the devastating strikes, saying Israel was justified in carrying them out after what he said was an incident in which Hamas killed an Israeli soldier during an exchange of gunfire in Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza. Hamas denied any involvement in that deadly shooting and in turn accused Israel of violating the ceasefire deal.

Senator Tommy Tuberville says Trump "might be able to go around the Constitution" to serve third term
Former football coach Tommy Tuberville weighed in on the prospect of Trump serving a definitely unconstitutional third term with what we've come to expect from the World's Dumbest American Senator™ — an inartful and wildly idiotic hot take. Tuberville explained that if you read the Constitution — which he definitely has not — it says a third term isn't possible, then added: "But if [Trump] says he has some different circumstances that might be able to go around the Constitution. But that’s up to him. We got a long way to go before that happens." Tuberville is right about one thing — we unfortunately do have a long way to go before 2028 happens. But going "around the Constitution" is an audible Donald simply cannot call. Not without paying off the refs, anyway...

White House urged firing live bombs, not dummies, for Trump’s visit to Navy celebration
US Navy officials apparently caved to pressure from White House officials to launch 2,000-pound live bombs instead of dummy explosives during an elaborate military demonstration for the service’s 250th anniversary celebration that Donald Trump attended, because — we are not making this up — the wannabe dictator "needed to see explosions" instead of just a "big splash" during the Oct. 5 event. For the record, the Navy and other military branches typically use dummy, or inert, bombs for training and demonstrations. Dummies are cheaper — and, far safer — than live bombs because they do not contain expensive explosives, fuses, and other components. Ok, sure, but we can't just expect Mother Nature to piss her pantsuit over some measly dummies. This is America, goddammit! KABLOOEY! BOOM! KERPLOW!

Trump "sad" as he concedes the Constitution is "pretty clear" on running for a third term
Uh, yeah. It's "pretty clear," Donnie. Maybe try rubbing some bronzer on it to see if that muddies things up a bit?

Two dozen states sue White House over food stamps suspension amid shutdown
Tens of millions of Americans are on the verge of losing vital food assistance thanks to the Republicans' ongoing government shutdown, and Democratic governors and attorneys general across the country have finally had enough of the heartless gamesmanship. A coalition of more than two dozen states on Tuesday sued the Trump regime over its decision to suspend SNAP benefits starting next month. The lawsuit, co-led by New York, California, and Massachusetts, asks a federal judge to force the US Department of Agriculture to tap into emergency reserve funds to distribute food benefits to the nearly 42 million people who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Trump has vowed that no benefits will be issued starting November 1, because, well, the cruelty IS the point.

All operational US liquefied natural gas terminals have violated pollution limits, says report
Cool, cool, cool. Every 👏 fully 👏 operational 👏 liquefied natural gas (LNG) 👏 terminal in the entire country has violated federal pollution limits in recent years, a damning new report has found. "The LNG industry portrays itself as environmentally friendly, but companies do not consistently comply with air and water pollution control laws that LNG terminals must follow," says the report from the Environmental Integrity Project, a non-profit research organization. Fun fact: the United States has been the world’s largest LNG exporter since 2023, and Donald Trump has aimed to boost exports even further, including by directing agencies to speed the approval of new terminals AND by threatening foreign countries with steep tariffs if they refuse to purchase LNG from the US.
