Trump’s got a new propaganda princess
White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly has stepped in to be the face of the lying machine while press secretary Karoline Leavitt is away on maternity leave. During an appearance on Fox News Friday, Kelly displayed the dead-eyed shamelessness required to deliver the kind of misinformation that President Donald Trump’s billionaire-backed orbit demands. “The president has been clear…
Did you know you’re funding has-been Kid Rock’s failing tour?
Nobody wants to see Kid Rock perform. But guess what, America? You get to help Mr. Rock fix this problem! Wait, what? Kid Rock is pulling out all of the stops to boost his pathetic ticket sales for his Freedom 250 tour—including leveraging his ties with the Trump administration. His latest move is to surround himself with members of the military to boast that he’s going to give 250…
60 days into Iran war and Trump doesn’t have a concept of a plan
President Donald Trump made it clear Friday that, 60 days into his war in Iran, he still has no plan. “No other country has ever done it,” Trump said, delivering his signature rant when asked whether he would seek congressional approval for his war. “Most people consider it totally unconstitutional.” “We had a ceasefire, so that gives you additional time,” Trump added.
Pope promotes former undocumented immigrant to bishop—Trump be damned

Why the race for Georgia governor is crucial for Democrats
Georgia’s gubernatorial election is not getting the kind of national attention that other statewide races are drawing as the 2026 midterms approach. But the outcome of that race may be one of the most important for the future of democracy—for multiple reasons. First, after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act on Wednesday, Georgia could eliminate more than a dozen Black- and…
Trump family grift soars to new height
It’s probably for the best that the Trump family doesn’t bother to hide its corruption. At least we get advance word of their next grift rather than having to guess. This time around, it’s drones, because of course. President Donald Trump’s Large Adult Sons are getting into the war business. Pretty convenient when your daddy can start a war and you can profit, right?
New DHS chief whines shutdown cost loss of third of his workforce
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin appeared on Fox News Friday to whine about how the GOP-driven partial government shutdown has made things difficult for him, claiming “almost a third of the workforce is no longer with us.” “It takes about four months to onboard people,” he told host Dana Perino. “People say, ‘Well, but they’re getting paid.’ We had [the] State…

Alex Jones’ conspiracy machine dies an inglorious death
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ website, Infowars.com, went offline Thursday night, marking a possible end to decades of misinformation, lies, and deception. Currently, upon visiting the website, a single page appears with the message, “Off Air.” Infowars launched in 1999 and has steadily spewed out nonsense nearly every day of its ensuing 27 years of operation.
Trump team lies to evade law limiting Iran war
President Donald Trump’s boondoggle of a war in Iran officially hit the 60-day mark on Friday, thus requiring him—by law—to get congressional approval to continue his hostilities. But Trump and his administration came up with a bullshit excuse for why the War Powers Resolution of 1973 doesn’t apply to them in this situation. “We are in a ceasefire right now, which our understanding means…
Trump’s war on science takes a disturbing turn
The Trump administration did some genuine stormtrooper garbage earlier this week when it arrested David Morens, a 78-year-old research scientist who served as an aide to Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases until 2022. Morens is accused of pretty much the most nonviolent crime ever: concealing federal records, which—even if true—does not really warrant…

The Supreme Court’s attack on voting rights is already causing chaos
The fallout from the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais has been as quick as it was inevitable. Justice Samuel Alito’s reprehensible 6-3 decision functionally killed the tiny bits of the Voting Rights Act that we were clinging to in the face of Chief Justice John Roberts’ decades-long crusade to end the VRA. Louisiana wasted no time taking a victory lap, with Gov.
