Hope Walz obliterates Don Jr. for mocking her special-needs brother and encouraging people to drive past their house screaming slurs

Is there anything more pathetic than watching a 47-year-old man struggle to win his father's fleeting attention by aping his performative cruelty? Donald Trump Jr. has been an enthusiastic participant in the harassment campaign that his imbecilic father incited against Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota after the latter called the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee "seriously r*tarded." Don Jr. took to posting obnoxious "Franklin the Turtle" memes, inspiring truly deplorable MAGA minions to literally drive past Walz's house to scream the word "r*tard" at his family. Walz's daughter Hope took to TikTok to respond to the president's son and hit him right where it hurts: in the daddy issues. "Oh, Don, it is so clear that your dad does not love you. Or if there is any love there, it's not for your compassion, like my dad loves me, but instead your cruelty. And that's not love. That's not love. I genuinely feel sad that you and your family feel the need to degrade and put down large swaths of the country in an attempt to make yourself feel better. My family and I will always be richer than yours. Always. Because we don't find joy in this. We find joy in each other and spending time together and doing quality good things for this world together, not tearing other people down." MIC. DROP. [RETWEET THAT!]

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Disqualified Trump official announces her "resignation"

Former Trump personal lawyer Alina Habba announced her "resignation" as acting US attorney in New Jersey yesterday after an appeals court ruling last week upheld her earlier disqualification from the job she had no business holding in the first place. Nothing quite like announcing your resignation from a post you were already summarily kicked out of, but we digress. Brian Tyler Cohen spoke with All Rise News' Adam Klasfeld to discuss the ramifications of Habba's ouster and what comes next in Trump's ongoing quest to circumvent the US Senate to install loyalist attack dogs as US attorneys across the country.

Trump administration announces $12 billion bailout for farmers impacted by his tariff crusade
Having single-handedly upended the market for corn and soybean farmers in the US with his ongoing, idiotic tariff crusade, our nincompoop-in-chief is now resorting to a federal bailout to save American farmers from going belly up. Announcing the deal at the White House, the MAGA cult leader blurted, "What we're doing is we're taking a relatively small portion of [tariff revenue], and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. And we love our farmers. And as you know, the farmers like me, because, you know, based on, based on voting trends, you could call it voting trends or anything else, but they're great people." Every act, every policy move, every declaration is an opportunity for the vainglorious buffoon to pat himself on the back, even for his own unequivocal failings. Also, for those keeping score at home, Trump has earmarked mythical tariff revenues to cover: $2000 rebate checks to EVERY American adult, the elimination of federal income tax altogether, paying down our $38 trillion national debt, stabilizing Social Security and Medicare, and now a multi-billion-dollar farm bailout. Now, we're no mathletes, but something's just not adding up here.

MAGA pushes racist Cinnabon worker's fundraiser past $270,000

This week's Worst Random Person in America™ award should go to Crystal Wilsey of Wisconsin, who was summarily fired from her job at Cinnabon after her vile, racist tirade targeting a Somali couple went viral this week. But then that would let the THOUSANDS of donors who have given Wilsey more than $270,000 completely off the hook. In the video, WIlsey can be seen gleefully calling a customer a "n**ger" while proudly declaring, "I am racist, and I'll say that to the whole, entire world." For her freakout she was, of course, fired. Enter MAGA's unofficial Great White Cope Grievance Brigade, whose many members obviously feel duty bound to stand up for Crystal's god-given right to be a radioactive piece of shit and are rewarding her with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS for daring to say what they clearly aren't brave enough to blurt out themselves. It is so good to be great again!

Trump keeps bombarding his followers with shady "tariff rebate check" fundraising emails
We've said it before, but it bears repeating: the contempt and disdain Donald Trump has for his most fervent followers is without parallel. Despite his own Treasury secretary and numerous MAGA allies in Congress declaring his ballyhooed, deficit-ballooning, "tariff rebate check" scheme dead on arrival, the huckster-in-chief just cannot stop bilking his base with bald-faced lies and bogus promises he has no way of keeping.
