South Park takes Pete Hegseth to the "Danger Zone" in new episode
South Park took dead aim at walking testosterone supplements cautionary tale Pete Hegseth and his ridiculous obsession with faux masculinity in this week’s Thanksgiving-themed episode, "Turkey Trot," and, well, it is more than worth your time. And not just for the brilliant Kenny Loggins parody. Who knew a primitively animated, basic-cable sitcom that first aired in 1997 would become a leading voice in the fight against fascism in 2025? "It’s not that we got all political," co-creator Trey Parker told The New York Times earlier this month. "It’s that politics became pop culture." What a timeline, what a world.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Marjorie Taylor Greene skewers the "Political Industrial Complex"
We honestly did not see this side quest in "MAGA: The Blathering" coming, folks, but it sure does seem like Marjorie Taylor Greene has had it with her own party and politics in general. She took to nüTwitter yesterday and blasted the Political Industrial Complex" that thrives there, calling it "toxic, hateful, and divisive." When right-wing bloviator Mike Cernovich chimed in, tweeting: "You need to serve out your full term," Greene fired back: "Shit posting on the internet all day isn't fighting. Get off YOUR ass and run for Congress." Man, that pivot from red hat to red pill was hard.

Women’s March publicly shames ICE agents with a brutal new ad
Women’s March: Women’s March has had enough of the brutality and the violence and is now speaking directly to the people inside the system — ICE agents and recruits — who have the power to stop participating in Trump’s unconstitutional immigration crackdowns. In a chilling and immensely powerful new ad, Women’s March makes a plea to the humanity of the people behind all this violence in urging them to stop and reminds them that though they can hide from us with their masks, they can’t hide from their neighbors, their kids, or from their own consciences. Click here to watch the ad and then make sure to share it far and wide!

Trump continues asking for cash from supporters while dangling $2,000 "tariff rebate checks"
Donald just can't quit teasing his mythical "tariff rebate checks," even though his own Treasury secretary AND members of his own party in Congress have all but declared the desperate gimmick dead on arrival. Also, folks, please don't fall for any unauthorized tariff rebate email scams! There maybe be many grifters, but there is only one authorized grift!

Karoline Leavitt slammed by nephew's family for refusing to help his mother
Bruna Ferreira, the ex-fiancée of Karoline Leavitt's brother AND the mother of her 11-year-old nephew, was recently caught up in ICE's jackbooted dragnet. Despite pleas from Ferreira's family, Trump’s Secretary of Lies has been radio silent and has so far refused to lift a finger to help her nephew's mother. Ferreira’s sister, Graziela Dos Santos Rodrigues, told the media, "If she were to help in any way, if she were willing to do anything to help us, she would have reached out by now. She has my phone number. We've been family for the last 13 years...I understand the policies and how it looks. But I also think when it comes to family, you put certain things aside. I don't care who you work for. This is your nephew’s mother. ... It’s a little devastating that nothing has been done or said." To make matters worse, Leavitt's father and brother have both instead urged Ferreira to "self-deport" to Brazil, where the 33-year-old has no connection or community, having lived in the United States since 1998. "They just kept saying, 'Tell her to self-deport,'" said Dos Santos Rodrigues. "Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home." The shocking callousness of the Leavitt family towards their own nephew is truly chilling to behold. The poor child is devastated at the loss of his mother. "He needs his mom home," Dos Santos Rodrigues said. "He’s always asking, 'When’s my mom coming home? Will she be home for Thanksgiving? Will she be home for Christmas?'" These are those Republican FaMiLy VaLuEs™ we're told so much about. Tear families apart and turn your back on your own blood relatives. Just selfishness and cruelty all the way down.

Trump's cruelty leaves millions in Thanksgiving bind
The shutdown may finally be over, but the financial pain that so many American families felt from going for weeks without food stamps or paychecks is still very real. Still more American families are reeling from sky-high prices from Trump’s tariffs or have lost their jobs as Corporate America fires workers by the tens of thousands. That's why the No Kid Hungry nonprofit is organizing a Friendsgiving fundraising drive to get the community involved and help make sure people get the food they need. Will you step up and help feed American kids in need?
