VIDEO OF THE DAY: Republicans infuriate Trump in bombshell move
Indiana Republicans in the state Senate have refused to bend to Trump's will and voted AGAINST a measure to erase two Democratic-leaning congressional districts ahead of next year's midterm elections. The measure to install newly gerrymandered districts fell by a vote of 31-19, despite a bellicose pressure campaign by Trump, JD Vance, and various MAGA-aligned allies. The Heritage Foundation flat-out threatened that ALL federal funding for the reliably red state would cease if state lawmakers failed to acquiesce to the wannabe dictator's demands. We've now reached the all-too-predictable point in the MAGA story arc where Republicans are now threatening to stop serving their own constituents if they don't capitulate to the whims of a power-crazed autocrat. Bend the knee or else. A helluva winning campaign message going into 2026, eh?

Hundreds quarantined in South Carolina as measles outbreaks in US spread
RFK Jr.'s quest to resurrect long-vanquished, extremely contagious communicable diseases is well on track as measles outbreaks — for which a highly effective and incredibly safe vaccine has existed for some 60 years — continue to spread across the country. Hundreds of people have been quarantined in South Carolina as the national case count is quickly approaching 2,000. The highly contagious, vaccine-preventable virus has been considered eliminated in the US since 2000, but the country is now at risk of losing that status, a direct consequence of letting a worm-addled, roadkill-collecting, whale-decapitating conspiracy theorist run roughshod over established scientific consensus as the most woefully ill-equipped secretary of Health and Human Services since the department's inception.

Trump plans huge handout for Big Oil and puts our coastline in serious danger
Protect Our Coast Coalition: At a time when our climate change studies are desperately begging us to stop fossil fuel pollution before it’s too late, Donald Trump just unveiled a huge new handout to Big Oil, proposing a new National Offshore Drilling Plan that would open up huge swathes of ocean in the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, and California to industrial defilement. American taxpayers spent $1 TRILLION last year cleaning up from climate-related natural disasters, but Trump is happy to pass those costs on to us while his cronies get rich — and he’s putting our coastal communities and their livelihoods under threat from destructive oil spills. Click here to make your voice heard and tell the Trump team we want NO more offshore oil drilling!

Trump signs executive order blocking states from regulating AI
America's wannabe dictator signed a performative and completely unenforceable executive order yesterday aimed at blocking states from regulating artificial intelligence, touting AI companies' desire for investing in the United States and claiming any state-level regulations will kill off such enthusiasm. It's worth noting that a proposal to impose a 10-year moratorium on state-level regulation of AI failed in the Senate this fall by a whopping 99-1 vote. Why Trump thinks a meaningless, "I hereby do declare" executive order will carry any weight at this point is anybody's guess, but he seems quite confident about who the bogey man under Big Tech's bed actually works for: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. Fifty is a disaster. You'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll have a couple of wokesters and you don’t wanna do that. You wanna get the AI done." Eloquent as over, Mr. President!

Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly plotting to oust Mike Johnson on her way out of Congress
She might be skipping town in a few weeks, but Marjorie Taylor Greene apparently isn't opting to go quietly in the night. Word on the street is, the erstwhile Trump loyalist is testing the waters on a last-ditch bid to strip Donald's servile lapdog Mike Johnson of the speaker's gavel. According to Mediaite, Greene is sounding out colleagues about backing a motion to vacate the chair, citing multiple anonymous sources. Under new House rules, nine Republicans would be needed to force such a vote, a threshold designed to prevent a repeat of the Kevin McCarthy implosion that famously paralyzed the chamber two years ago. Should Greene succeed, perhaps Johnson would finally find the time to catch up on all the various crimes, misdeeds, and transgressions Trump has committed that he's just been too busy to pay attention to!

Kristi Noem caught lying about why she skipped out on House committee hearing early
Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz poured ice-cold water over Gestapo Barbie's excuse for abruptly leaving a contentious House hearing yesterday. Homeland Sec. Noem was coming under repeated fire for the Trump regime's extremely troubling anti-immigrant crusade, where cosplay bounty hunters working for ICE are routinely assaulting and disappearing people — including military veterans, mothers, and children — off the streets and from their homes without due process and often with excessive force. Noem abruptly announced she was leaving the hearing early to attend a FEMA meeting that did not actually exist, a pesky little detail that was confirmed later in the day by Moskowitz. Oops. Just a thought, but if ICE Barbie can't take the heat, maybe she should stay out of innocent people's kitchens?

Top FBI official faceplants in embarrassing fashion before House committee while toeing White House line on "antifa"
The Trump regime might as well have just fed FBI National Security Branch Operations Director Michael Glasheen to the wolves yesterday. Instead, they trotted him out before a House Homeland Security Committee hearing with instructions to toe the Trump line on "antifa" being the biggest domestic terror threat in the United States today, despite absolutely no evidence existing to back up such a claim. Glasheen struggled to answer the most basic of questions. A visibly flummoxed Bennie Thompson, the ranking Democrat on the committee, gave Glasheen every opportunity to explain the FBI's position: "You said antifa is a terrorist organization. Tell us, as a committee, how did you come to that? Where do they exist? How many members do they have in the United States as of right now?" Glasheen sheepishly responded, "Well, that’s very fluid. It’s ongoing for us to understand that. The same, no different than al Qaeda or ISIS." To be clear, antifa is not a domestic terrorist organization. It might be a snappy name, but it's nothing more than a very reasonable reaction to the rise of actual fascism under Trump. It has no leader, no headquarters, and certainly no official membership. And no amount of kowtowing by ill-prepared FBI officials or MAGA sycophants will change that fact, but it sure will present plenty of opportunities for the Trump regime to embarrass itself on the public stage.

Trump issues useless federal pardon for ex-Colorado county clerk Tina Peters who was convicted on state election fraud charges
Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is sitting in state prison right now because she brazenly broke the law. She willingly participated in a conspiracy to defraud Colorado voters by giving unauthorized access to voting machines to co-conspirators attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. She was charged, tried, and found guilty by a jury of her peers on seven criminal counts. In state court. Yesterday, Donald Trump issued an utterly pointless federal pardon for Peters — a move that changes absolutely nothing. You might be wondering why the MAGA cult leader would bother with such a performative act for a random, former state official. The answer is quite simple: it has nothing to do with Tina Peters. Rather, it feeds his bullshit narrative that the 2020 election was stolen from him. There's nothing the vainglorious nincompoop-in-chief hates more than a loser, which also probably explains why he's literally printed fake "Time Magazine Person of the Year" awards for himself and managed to "win" 38 golf championships at his own country clubs.

US citizen sounds the alarm about being tackled and arrested by ICE in Minneapolis
Welcome to Donald Trump's America, where you can be tackled, choked, thrown into the snow, and then handcuffed for the crime of Walking While Being Not White. Minnesota man and US citizen Mubashir — who did not want to give his last name for fear of retribution — was minding his own business on his lunch break when an ICE goon squad rolled up on him and jumped him in a clear and obvious case of illegal racial profiling. The attack was caught on video and ignited a firestorm of anger. "What you very clearly saw in that video was Mubashir, an American citizen, someone who has been here nearly his entire life, tackled, handcuffed, taken into custody … for simply walking down the street and looking like he’s Somali," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said during a news briefing. As if that wasn't bad enough, Kristi Noem's right-hand-fabricator Tricia McLaughlin brazenly lied about the incident, the way she does about every one of these crimes, claiming that Mubashir was "violently resisting" and that a crowd of "agitators" were threatening the officers. "Dystopian" doesn't even begin to describe the excesses and outrages of Donald Trump's Gestapo.
