Kristi Noem thanks Trump for keeping hurricanes away
Yesterday's Cabinet meeting was one humiliating display of ingratiation after another, with Trump's MAGA capos across the federal government each taking turns heaping saccharine praise on their cult leader for his apparent unmatched presidential prowess. In one particularly cringy moment, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem congratulated a notably groggy Trump for keeping "the hurricanes away" this season. Yes! So great are Dear Leader's powers no storms dared to make landfall on America's shorelines! It's a good thing, too, since Donald has spent the better part of his first year back in office dismantling and politicizing FEMA, misappropriating critical disaster relief funds for inhumane pet projects like "Alligator Alcatraz" while denying aid to blue states that had the temerity to vote against him in 2024.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Pete Hegseth pulls slimy move as scandal threatens to sink him
Department of War Crimes Secretary Pete Hegseth made it crystal clear exactly where the buck stops when it comes to the critical decisions the Pentagon is making to ostensibly keep this country safe: in the lap of any one of his many subordinates and definitely nowhere near his desk. Hegseth did his damnedest to distance himself from his own "kill everybody" orders targeting suspected drug-runners in the Caribbean Sea, throwing Admiral Mitch Bradley under a very big bus by publicly thanking him for the "combat decisions" he specifically made. Well at least it wasn't a boat, eh?

Democratic stalwart launches defense of key Senate seat
Mark Warner for Virginia: Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia has just announced his re-election campaign! Sen. Warner has been one of the leading voices standing up against Trump administration’s incompetence, corruption, and chaos. Warner called out RFK Jr. to his face for his dangerous ignorance, and Warner has angered Trump so much that Trump had a meltdown in the Oval Office where he trashed Warner as a “bad guy”. Republicans are going to pull out all the stops to try to unseat him, so he’s going to need our help to hold fast. Will you chip in to help jump-start his re-election campaign and help hold this vital Senate seat?
Trump says he doesn't want Somali migrants in the US, calls them "garbage"
During his first term in office, Donald openly disparaged Black and Brown immigrants from so-called "shithole countries" and wondered allowed why America didn't have more (white) people from countries like Norway trying to emigrate here. This time around the world's most famous racist uncle opted to stick with literal trash talk, labeling Somali immigrants currently living in the United States simply as "garbage." To the hundreds of thousands of Somali-born residents and Somali-American citizens Trump had this to say: "They contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88% or something. They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks and we don't want them in our country." Any questions?

Ohio MAGA senator introduces measure to eliminate dual citizenship
A warning shot to the estimated 40 MILLION Americans who currently enjoy the many benefits of holding dual citizenship: Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno is gunning for your second passport. Moreno just introduced the "Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025," which would make it illegal for a citizen or national of the US to simultaneously also hold any foreign citizenship. This news might be of particular interest to First Lady Melania Trump and her son Barron, who both currently hold dual American-Slovenian citizenship. This isn't the first time Moreno will have run afoul of the MAGA cult leader, by the way. A former never Trumper, Moreno once compared the wannabe dictator to Adolf Hilter and told a radio host in 2019 that "there's no scenario in which I would support Trump." By 2024 he was singing an altogether different tune, having kissed the crown prince of Mar-a-Lago's gold-plated ring and received his endorsement. Looking forward to seeing where this latest twist leads the odd couple!

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!
Democrat Aftyn Behn overperforms in deep-red Tennessee in another warning sign for Trump
Sure, it's disappointing that progressive Democrat Aftyn Behn came up short against MAGA-rubber stamper Matt Van Epps in Tennessee District 7's special election last night, but let's not lose sight of the fact that Trump carried the traditionally deep-red district by 22 points just one year ago. Last night, Behn lost by less than nine points, a harbinger of good things to come if Democrats continue nominating clear-eyed, articulate progressives focused on policies that will actually improve Americans' lives and loosen Donald's iron grip on Lady Liberty's throat.
Trump halts all immigration applications from 19 countries in wake of DC National Guard shooting
The Trump regime has predictably halted all immigration applications from 19 countries that were already under travel restrictions to the United States following the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington, DC, by an Afghan national Donald's own administration granted asylum to earlier this year. A memorandum issued Tuesday by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services said that a "comprehensive re-review, potential interview, and re-interview of all aliens from high-risk countries of concern" who entered the US on or after January 20, 2021, was necessary.
Hillary Clinton says young Americans are pro-Palestine because they watch "totally made up" videos of Gaza horrors
Echoing comments made by former Obama adviser Sarah Hurwitz, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton complained that young people were becoming sympathetic to the Palestinian cause because their phones were showing them an endless stream of mangled bodies, dead children, and flattened cities from Benjamin Netanyahu's genocidal war against the people of Gaza. The problem is the phones, you see, not the killings themselves. "So just pause on that for a second. They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that’s where they get their information." Make what you will of that.
