VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump melts down over Democratic blue wave
After an absolute shellacking last night, where in race after race Democrats handily defeated Republicans, America's malignant narcissist-in-chief took to his stupid social media platform to inartfully proclaim: "TRUMP WASN'T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT." Not only did the wannabe dictator immediately deflect blame for his party's disastrous showing and absolve himself of any responsibility, he laughably claimed it was his ABSENCE on the ballot which ultimately sank his own party. As has always been the case, the buck stops literally everywhere EXCEPT on Donald Trump's Diet Coke-ringed desk.

Trump left to lick wounds as NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and Gavin Newsom savor HUGE night for Democrats
Zohran Mamdani won a decisive victory last night to become New York City's first Muslim mayor, comfortably beating "independent" Andrew Cuomo and Republican odd ball Curtis Sliwa. Cuomo just could not take "no" for an answer (when has he ever, honestly?) after Democratic voters repudiated him in the party primary earlier this year, opting to run it back in the general as an independent. The former governor, who resigned in disgrace in 2021 after being accused of sexual misconduct by 13 different women, eventually picked up the most unsavory of endorsements — from fellow sex predator Donald Trump — in the race to save the Big Apple from Mamdani's super scary and definitely satanic message of making New York more affordable. And on the other coast, Californians delivered Gov. Gavin Newsom a decisive victory in the Prop 50 ballot initiative to redraw the Golden State's congressional districts to combat Republican gerrymandering elsewhere in the country. By a nearly two-to-one margin, Californians voted in favor of Newsom's plan — a five-alarm fire warning for Trump and the GOP ahead of next year's midterm elections. Back in Brooklyn a jubilant Mamdani delivered a fiery victory speech, vowing to oppose Trump's autocratic regime, prompting a social media response from the MAGA cult leader a short while later. "...AND SO IT BEGINS!" Trump thumb-smashed. Oh, you better fucking believe it.

Elon Musk set to become world’s first TRILLIONAIRE as shareholders votes on wild pay package
Take Back Tesla: Fresh off of cutting off food and medicine to millions of starving people and depriving thousands of hard-working federal employees of their jobs, Elon Musk is asking Tesla shareholders to give him a TRILLION-dollar pay package. It would be the largest in history and will inevitably set off a new age of corporate excess as other CEOs compete to give themselves bigger and bigger pay packages. Nobody deserves or NEEDS that much money, especially not Elon Musk. You probably have Tesla stock in your portfolio — Click this link to find out how you can do your part to stop this appalling show of greed from becoming a grim reality.

GOP's government shutdown becomes the longest on record as fallout spreads nationwide
And the hits keep coming for a thoroughly chastened GOP, as Donald Trump's 2025 government shutdown has officially become the longest on record, eclipsing the dubious, 35-day record set in 2019...the last time Donald Trump was president. Guy's got a knack for running things into the ground, eh? Ever the spoilsport, Trump has refused to negotiate with Democrats over their exceedingly reasonable demands to salvage expiring health insurance subsidies. The MAGA cult leader wants Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to bend the knee and help pass a Republican resolution to reopen the government with no preconditions or guarantees that healthcare premiums won't skyrocket for millions of Americans in January. After last night's bloodbath, all the pressure is on Trump and his MAGA allies in Congress to finally get off their butts and end this nightmare of their own making. Millions of Americans have been furloughed or forced to work with NO pay for 36 days and counting. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at this morning's White House breakfast with GOP senators...

GOP Kentucky election chief issues painfully basic reminder after flood of "closed polls" calls from duped residents
Kentucky did not hold elections on Tuesday. But that didn't stop some confused voters from reportedly calling the office of the state’s top election official to ask why polling stations were closed. There were so many calls Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams felt compelled to set the record straight, tweeting: "We're getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry." About an hour later, Adams followed up: "Have I mentioned my repeated call for civic education." Interesting hot take, sir! Perhaps the political party you've aligned yourself with — ya know, the one that preys on the collective willful ignorance of the American electorate, routinely calls for abolishing the Department of Education, AND has pledged undying fealty to an autocratic nincompoop utterly allergic to the truth — might be the problem?

Trump to "star" in White House UFC birthday brawl next year
Variety got the goods on next summer's UFC birthday brawl on the White House lawn, and word on the street is Donald Trump will be "spearheading the telecast" alongside UFC CEO Dana White. That's right, the president of the United States will be handling, uh, we'll call it color(ful) commentary duties while grown-ass adults beat the shit out of each other inside a ring. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho apparently has a scheduling conflict and will not be available.

Pope Leo rebukes Donald Trump on migration with Christ's "end of the world" warning
Even the pope got in on the action yesterday, chastising America's wannabe dictator — albeit gently — for his deeply immoral crusade to round up millions of people from "shithole countries" and make America white again. Pope Leo called on Tuesday for "deep reflection" about the way migrants are being treated in the United States under Donald Trump’s administration and said the spiritual needs of those in detention needed to be respected. Asked about detained immigrants who have been refused the opportunity to receive holy Communion, Leo had this to say: "Jesus says very clearly at the end of the world, we’re going to be asked, you know, how did you receive the foreigner? Did you receive him and welcome him or not? And I think that there’s a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what’s happening." Uh, deep reflection, Leo? Have you met the president?!

Andrew Cuomo sticks to his shitty guns, refuses to bow out of politics gracefully in petty concession speech
While the disgraced ex-governor held his election night party at the Ziegfeld Ballroom, which describes itself in its own words as a "luxury event venue built on Broadway’s golden era," it sure didn't feel like a golden era on Tuesday, when Cuomo didn't so much bow out of the race as aggressively rut and posture and snort his way out of it. Despite consistently underwhelming polling, there was a relatively optimistic vibe at the party, as people enjoyed the free bar and watched huge TV screens. Signs displaying Cuomo’s names were displayed on tables, banners, and, intriguingly, on little electronic screens above the men’s urinals. But the mood wouldn't last. Zohran Mamdani’s victory was announced at 9.35pm, prompting dismay in the ballroom. Not longer after, with The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go Now" blaring over the speakers — seriously! — Cuomo emerged to deliver a pitch-perfect concession speech, congratulating Mamdani and promising to work with him to help New York move forward. Just kidding. He stuck to his shitty guns, telling his deflated followers, "We are headed down a dangerous, dangerous road." For nearly 10 minutes Cuomo trotted out tired, familiar attacks, accusing the mayor-elect of demonizing the NYPD and stoking the flames of antisemitism. When Cuomo finally got around to actually saying Mamdani's name out loud, the crowd predictably responded with jeers and boos. Cuomo laughably responded, "No, that is not right, and that is not us." Oh, Andrew, it most certainly is.

At least 9 dead, many still missing after UPS plane crash at Louisville airport turned industrial area into a mile-long fireball
A UPS cargo plane bound for Honolulu, Hawaii, caught fire during take off yesterday, reaching just 175 feet into the air before crashing into a fiery inferno that stretched nearly a mile in an industrial area just south of Muhammad Ali International Airport. Loaded with 38,000 gallons of fuel, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 exploded on impact, sending a massive plume of deep-black smoke that stretched for miles across the city and over the Ohio River, prompting a city-wide shelter-in-place order. As of Wednesday morning, at least nine people are dead and 11 injured, and at least 16 people are still missing. Gov. Andy Beshear said he expects those numbers to grow.
