Trump had nothing to do with the massive deregulation he kvelled about all through his one-term presidency.

And yet, it’s only because he went to McDonald’s and gave out MAGA hats that any disaster relief is coming.

In his Orwellian crusade to weaponize Americans against their own survival, Trump & his flacks go round taking victory laps for their deregulatory frenzy. You know, telling America to enjoy going down the tubes.

Trump & all Republicans must be asked whether they continue to support Trump’s rolling back of crucial health, safety, and financial regulations.

So of course Trump swoops into the scene of some of his many, many crimes to

blame other people.

No one hates this country more than elitist fascist Tucker Carlson. And Kevin McCarthy has just turned over to him–and only to him–security footage that could very well aid in another, more successful coup attempt.

Fox was a full partner in the 2021 coup. “Would January 6th have even happened,” Thom Hartman asks, “if Fox’s management, producers, and hosts hadn’t pushed Trump’s lie?”

DeSantis is so determined to make Florida’s students the most helplessly ignorant, bigoted, and unfit-for-employment in the United States that he now wants to do away with AP altogether, and further indoctrinate Florida’s students in white supremacy.

Together with his family, his minions, and the hyena freaks at Fox “News,” he has been conspiring against this country dating back to at least 1995, when the “News” was first unleashed on America.

Dominion’s latest filing should be published by Murdoch-owned Harper Collins as a mass-edition paperback, to let as many Americans as possible know what they are subsidizing.

I men, somebody has to pay for those tax rebates to billionaire developers, right?

As the Daily News reports, HRA is already so understaffed that NYC residents are suing due to outlandish delays in processing program applications.

Mayor Adams, however, believes that there is no sufficient harassment for NYC’s most vulnerable.

In his new budget, he advocates for major cuts to HRA as well as so many other essential agencies and institutions. Then he gaslights the city by insisting that still more cuts don’t mean still-more remiss functinality.

Say what you will about Christopher Miller’s deference to Trump —
but —
the former acting Defense Secretary is spot on here:

CBS News reports that Miller “has a message for Washington: cut the defense budget ‘dramatically’ and stop making China a bogeyman.

‘Miller argues the Pentagon budget, now at $816 billion, could be slashed by as much as half.”

The poor little rich girl is one badly brought up little missie.

More than that, she is psychotic.

The GOP’s embrace of her–she is now the party’s trailer park Red Queen–is one more indictment of America’s cultural decline.

Even with that mug, DeSantis doesn’t have to present such an obtuse, belligerent appearance.

I mean, if Tallullah at thirty-six could have thought as well as made herself up into the ingenue role in Maugham’s The Circle, DeSantis wouldn’t look so malevolent if anything but malevolence was being entertained behind those squinty, scowly eyes.

Irrefutable.
