Trump bombs in failed attempt to act presidential in wake of Brown University mass shooting
Mustering what we assume was his best attempt at empathy, Donald Trump muttered a few, callous words in the aftermath of the deadly mass shooting at Brown University yesterday. During a Christmas reception where he was, once again, bragging about his many "amazing" achievements, the imbecile-in-chief tried on the presidential consoler's cap for a brief moment: "And Brown University, great school. Great, really, one of the greatest schools anywhere in the world. Things can happen." Uh, yes, they surely can, sir, especially when you patently refuse to do literally anything that might make a difference, like, ya know, enact sensible gun-safety reforms. Trump continued, "So to the nine injured, get well fast. And to the families of those two that are no longer with us, I pay my deepest regards and respects from the United States of America. Thank you very much. It’s a very important thing to say. And we mean it." What a strange, deeply unwell man.
VIDEO OF THE DAY: Fox News host tells struggling Americans they aren't struggling, says "affordability" crisis is a "Democrat scam"
Fox talking head and breathless Trump cheerleader Maria Bartiromo wants the American electorate to know that water isn't wet, fire isn't hot, and the economic pain people are definitely experiencing is, in fact, not real. Bartiromo dutifully toed the MAGA company line over the weekend, insisting that "affordability" is nothing more than a "hoax" perpetrated by liberals designed to hurt America's wannabe dictator. Bartiromo casually brushed aside sweeping Democratic electoral victories over the past six weeks — in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and elsewhere — as expected wins in reliably blue territories, despite incontrovertible evidence showing a seismic swing away from Trump in race after race, including in districts he won handily in 2024. Please, whatever you do, Maria, don't change your tune. Run this message all the way through the midterms next year. We know you can do it!

Australian lawmakers vow to tighten gun laws after Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre
Less than day after an antisemitic massacre that targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday, Australian lawmakers at the federal and state level swiftly vowed to overhaul already-tough national gun control laws. Turns out the immediate aftermath of an unthinkable mass murder is EXACTLY the time for political action.

Sen. Rand Paul says gerrymandering efforts by both parties could lead to political violence
Disenfranchising millions of Americans for short-term political gain is obviously bad for the long-term, collective health of a democratic system already straining under the nearly unbearable weight of a cartoonishly inept, autocratic narcissist-in-chief. But let's be clear: Republicans are waging this war, and Democrats have no choice but to fight back. Mid-cycle gerrymandering became the GOP's primary political objective earlier this year in a brazen effort to protect the party's razor-thin majority in the US House. That Democratic lawmakers elsewhere — particularly in California — are responding in kind is both wholly necessary and absolutely unsurprising. Could mid-cycle redistricting further destabilize our already teetering republic? Sure, but Democrats clearly cannot sit back and doing nothing while Trump and his MAGA minions further dismantle our representative democracy. Inaction is inexcusable.
Trump vows "truckloads" of evidence supporting his Big Lie will be coming out soon
As the rest of the country turns its attention to next year's midterms, America's fearless leader is laser-focused on rewriting exactly what went down three elections ago in 2020, when he lost the presidency to Joe Biden by more than seven million votes. "We have all the ammunition, all the stuff, and you'll see it come out," Trump said. "It’s coming out in truckloads." We're guessing they've been storing this stuff in the same facility where they've kept all that birther evidence proving once and for all that Barack Obama is a foreigner? Yeah, we won't be holding our breath.
Trump pledges to primary Indiana Republicans who refused gerrymandering
State Republican lawmakers in Indiana dared to do the unthinkable — resisting pressure from the MAGA cult leader to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of constituents — and, if Donald's weekend thumb-smashed missives are to be believed, will soon face his wrath for exerting a modicum of independence. Just days after downplaying his role in the gerrymandering scheme to steal two more House seats, Trump exploded on his social media network, vowing to primary every GOP lawmaker who voted against the effort and specifically singling out Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rod Bray, whom he deemed a "total loser." It's interesting logic if you can follow it: Trump is furious with turncoat Republicans who didn't give him the very thing he publicly admitted he didn't really want all that badly in the first place.
Manhunt for Brown University mass shooter continues after "person of interest" released
A "person of interest" who was taken into custody in the early morning hours Sunday has been released, resuming a manhunt for the suspect who killed two students and injured nine others in the mass shooting on Brown University’s campus. Officials announced they planned to release the man, who was detained at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, during a hastily arranged press conference late Sunday night. Brown University has lifted its campus-wide shelter-in-place order, although hundreds of police officers remain in an area still considered an active crime scene.
