There’s simply too much material to work with these days – and too much overlap between all the material. Terabytes of articles and posts and that ridiculous Axios graphic screenshotted above, the flashing klaxon directed right at their GOP-donating readers. It’s at least third such deployment of the Sarah Grillo work by the bullet point factory since its November 25th, 2025 debut on “Behind the Curtain: Red alert” by founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen in which the ultra-connected power couple wrote “Everywhere Republicans look, they see big political trouble,” in their lede underneath.

Yet it’s the same image. Shouldn’t it become brighter or fiery or just animated now that the Republican Party’s political situation is considerably worse than it was late last year?

“Governor Jeff Landry has issued an Executive Order declaring a state of emergency, allowing Louisiana farmers and timber harvesters to use the dyed diesel fuel they already keep on hand. The order comes at the peak of harvest season, with diesel at the highest price ever recorded in this state. EO attached. ‘We’re not going to sit on the sidelines while Louisiana farmers are paying record prices to harvest the crops that feed our families and support our economy. We have an opportunity to provide immediate relief, and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” said Governor Landry.”

“Dyed diesel is ordinary diesel fuel dyed red to mark it as off-road fuel. Farmers and loggers buy it for tractors, skidders, and irrigation pumps, and state law has long barred them from burning it in a licensed highway vehicle. This Executive Order suspends the penalty through October 22, 2026 for vehicles registered as Class 2 (Forest Products) or Class 5 (Farm Use) during this time of peak harvesting operations. The Order also directs the Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Revenue to request federal penalty relief from the IRS by the end of the week.The diesel shortage driving these high prices is a national issue. US inventories of distillate fuel oil are currently 12.5 percent below the five-year average, contributing to higher domestic diesel prices. At the same time, US net exports of distillate fuel oil remain near five-year highs. In Louisiana, the average retail price of diesel has reached an all-time high of $6.03 per gallon, 112 percent higher than the price the LSU AgCenter used to develop its 2026 crop enterprise budgets,” says the statement from far-right fascist Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry’s office, carefully not blaming anyone in particular for the situation.

Fun fact: As Pelican State attorney general back in 2020, Landry was the first holder of that office to join neighboring scumbag Ken Paxton’s failed attempt to overturn now-again-President Trump’s defeat at the Supreme Court and now just under six years later is living with the consequences of his support for the Orange God Emperor, declaring a fucking emergency because of diesel prices.

The CEO of the painfully generically-named Michigan-based “Family First Credit Union,” painfully generically-named Jane Smith, is no longer with the company after posting a pic depicting herself, husband, sister, and brother-in-law, wearing sweatshirts bearing the painfully generically-MAGA-renamed “Lake America,” the Guardian reports on a surprise resurgence of cancel culture.

Particularly obnoxious of Smith and her kin was that the real photo with the AI-slop added “Lake America” shirts was taken at Detroit’s airport on September 11th prior to the four departing for Halifax, Nova Scotia, a region of Canada that had on that day 25 years earlier opened their homes to thousands of Americans stranded when Transatlantic flights were diverted to Maritime Province airports. “Like our sweatshirts? Not sure Canada will… Lol lol” Smith wrote in the post.

“Jane Smith is no longer employed by Family First Credit Union, effective immediately. Jason Acosta will serve as interim CEO. We sincerely apologize for the concern, disappointment and pain this situation has caused our members and community. We understand that members of our community may hold different perspectives about this decision. Our responsibility is to act in the best interest of the Credit Union, uphold the trust of our members and continue putting our community first,” Family First wrote in the statement announcing Smith’s dismissal for her offensively anti-Canadian post.

Documents unearthed by German historian Harold Sandner are raising new questions about whether the 1931 death of Adolf Hitler’s niece Geli Raubal was in fact a suicide or if something more sinister happened, CNN reports in an article that maybe might’ve benefitted from a fresh set of eyes.

Now to be clear, Sandner’s find is not nothing: Hitler’s relationship with Raubal – 23 at the time of her historically documented September 19, 1931 death to Uncle Adolf’s 42 – was freaking creepy as hell, way worse than merely “domineering.” At that time that Hitler – still two years away from seizing power in Germany – was starting to see Eva Braun whilst simultaneously interfering in her own plans to marry a guy closer to her age, forbidding her from seeing him. That’s the tragic context in which his butler, Georg Winter, barged into Geli’s room on the 19th and found her lying on the floor, dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. Thing is that Sandner found an entry in Munich’s official death register giving the date and time of the discovery of Raubal’s body as 10:15 am on September 18, 1931. Two death notices found in the archives also carried that date – important because both would place Hitler in Munich at the time whereas he had departed for Nuremberg the previous afternoon.

Eccentric real estate tycoon and outsider Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday absolutely tore into President Barack Obama on Monday night’s edition of the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News, taking aim at Obama for throwing a state dinner for Chinese Communist Chairman Xi Jinping. “I would not be throwing Xi Jinping a dinner. I would get him a McDonald’s hamburger and say ‘we have to get down to work.’ We’re giving him a state dinner and what he has done is sucked all of our jobs,” said the colorful Trump, who is unlikely to ever be seen as a serious contender for the GOP nomination given the field that includes titans like Jeb! Bush, iron-willed Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and South Carolinian Lindsey Graham, a 61 year-old Senate GOP firebrand whose boundless energy and animated style makes it seem like he’ll live to be 115.

O’Reilly, whose show similarly feels as if it’ll still be airing on Fox News for as long as his heart’s pumping, was plainly impressed with the mercurial and flamboyant Trump, who announced his presidential bid two months ago to a crowd of supporters who some Republican detractors alleged were paid $50 each to cheer him on from the lobby of the Trump Tower. It does seem that Trump is command of the message, that in some weird, wacky future timeline where he were in the Oval Office it would no longer be politics or diplomacy as usual, that he would serve Xi a McDonald’s burger – saving the lobster for NCAA athletes – and take him to task for decades of hollowing out of America’s manufacturing workforce. Regular Americans have had enough of old, out-of-touch politicians obsessed with their “legacies” and only stop long enough to roll out the red carpet for a murderous dictator. They want to be able to tune out politics, kick back, relax, watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the rest of the new trilogy, and live their lives in peace and prosperity.

In what local pollster Wedgewood euphemistically calls a result that would be a “significant upset in a state Republicans have carried by wide margins in recent Senate cycles,” Democrat Adam Hamilton leads absolute fucking weasel Republican Kansas Senator Roger Marshall 50 to 48 percent in a race that was never on anyone’s radar even a month ago. The Libertarian gets 2 percent.

The US Supreme Court on Friday decided 6-3 that the Trump Regime can use the “Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program” which allows “federal, state, and local government agencies to verify the citizenship and immigration status of noncitizens applying for public benefits,” to verify voters on an individual basis for investigations, but not in bulk swathes of the electorate.

Knowing DHS’s recent track record that does not actually sound like a legitimate practical threat to November’s outcome, especially if they can only use it one-by-one and with due process.

MSNow reports they and CNN have been refused entry to part of the ceremonies convicted felon President Trump is throwing for communist dictator Xi Jingping.

…and you’ll absolutely believe what happened next: The New York Times reports that Nevada election officials checked all 185 of them and all 185 of them turned out to be US citizens.

Not a single one on that list. Even those of us who absolutely do allow that there’s always going to be a small number of illegal votes cast every year – while maintaining that the overlap between those votes and elections that are actually decided at margins small enough for such votes to be determinative is, in this day and age, like hitting a bullet with another bullet – might have believed it if there were some legitimately illegal voters on that list. Maybe even a few dozen.

But even more believable in this day and age is the stunning incompetence of the Trump Reich, failing even on their own terms at the kind of shit that’s supposed to be their brand. Dipshits.

Lib-coded cable network MS Now on Thursday reported their journalists’ access to the White House was restored just minuted ahead of a 12:30 PM EDT deadline imposed by DC Circuit Judge Timothy Kelly for the Trump Regime to respond to the outlet and its co-plaintiffs Politico and CNN’s charges that Trump’s team were actively defying the temporary restraining order imposed by Kelly.

Seconds later CNN reported the same. No update on Politico’s home page yet.

Turns out that the Trump Regime is simply just going to not obey a federal judge’s temporary restraining order and won’t be restoring the White House press passes to CNN, MS Now, and Politico reporters, the Washington Post reports, writing that “Some journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico banned from the White House by President Donald Trump remained barred from the grounds Thursday morning, hours after a federal judge ordered their access be restored.”

The outlets’ joint legal team just now moved for an emergency hearing, writing “Early this morning the Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order directing ‘that Defendants (except for President Trump) and their agents, representatives, and all persons or entities acting in concert with them shall immediately return, reinstate, and restore the White House ‘hard pass’ press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked on or about September 18, 2026.'”

“This morning journalists from each of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO attempted to enter the White House and were turned away, and Secret Service agents confiscated the hard pass of journalists whose hard passes had not previously been confiscated. And when Plaintiff Betsy Klein, whose hard pass was confiscated on Saturday, September 19, requested to have her hard pass returned, her request was denied and she was refused access to the White House complex. And time is of the essence – CNN is scheduled to be the television pool this evening for President Xi Jinping’s visit to the White House. Plaintiffs reached out to counsel for Defendants this morning and requested to call the Court together. Counsel for Defendants has not responded,” the motion continued.

“The Ford’s Theatre Lie is just another example of how the Fake News Media and the Dumocrats conspire together to make up false stories about ‘President Donald J Trump.’ Shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Our Country is desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday morning, the third such denial on his personal social network in just under 12 hours as it followed one from Wednesday night and then a second at 7:15 AM EDT this morning in which he wrote “The Dumocrats make up lie after lie. The new one is that I want Ford’s Theater named after me. That’s where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Who would want that? I don’t!”

“It is FAKE NEWS started by MSDNC AND CNN,” Trump continued in that second post, relevant because in the middle of that 12 hours stretch his own judicial appointee, DC Circuit Judge Timothy Kelly, had ordered the White House to restore those two outlets’ and Politico’s access to the complex. Kelly wrote in his ruling “that nothing in the record that predates this suit suggests that the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes was motivated by national security concerns. Certainly, that is not what President Trump said when he announced that he was ‘banning’ Plaintiffs from the White House – instead he focused on the alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity of Plaintiffs’ reporting.”

“And even the justifications provided to Plaintiffs after this case was filed are ambiguous about the true purpose of the revocations: while Defendants’ letters to Plaintiffs mention national security concerns, they purport to identify reporting that ‘threatened national security and/or spread falsehoods,’ leaving open the possibility that all the stories fall into the latetr bucket, rather than the former,” Kelly continued in the ruling which Trump has yet to respond to, even as his denials really seem to increase the credibility of the reporting on the Ford’s Theater renaming project.

The president did however find time to post “Midterm Fact Check: Don’t believe the economic doomers,” linking to a clip of Fox News propagandist Laura “Frau” Ingraham cheering fans up.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime on Thursday already lost the legal battle to keep CNN, MS Now, and Politico banned from the White House, with his appointee Judge Tim Kelly ordering the outlets’ access restored in the wee hours of Thursday, less than a week into the ban.

“The story that the White House, or me, want to affix my name to Ford’s Theatre, in Washington, DC, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, is a ridiculous lie. It is FAKE NEWS! Who would possibly want a name on such a tragic place? The Dumocrats suffer from serious Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are Degenerates and Losers who make up lie after lie, and this Ford’s Theatre Hoax is just another of their never-ending, malicious falsehoods to try to discredit and demean,” posted convicted felon President Trump, categorically denying that he wanted to put his name on a specific publicly-owned DC performance venue associated with a president murdered by a madman.

Just going to go ahead and guess that the only reason he hasn’t actually tried to rebrand Ford’s Theater is because the Kennedy Center thing hasn’t gone his way and the Ford would probably be a tougher slog for him against whatever group runs it. Sic semper tyrannis, you fat miserable fuck.

No disrespect to Reuters. They have top-notch journalists and photojournalists… Their website’s an adware-bloated mess, so some disrespect there. But buying this instant classic pic would be a pain in the ass even if probably not actually that expensive and the text in the satirical thought bubble would’ve just gone in the text here anyway.

MAGA Evangelical podcaster Steve Deace – a “Blaze Media” guy whose paycheck gets signed by pink blob Glenn Beck – sounds depressed. Just read this tweet: “Yesterday, Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that if you are in a +15 district you’re within the margin for error, if you’re in a +10 district you’re underwater, and that this might end being an even worse midterm environment than 2006. I slept on whether to share this publicly, because I don’t want to cause anyone to black pill. But this morning I ultimately decided the truth should be shared while there is still six weeks left to do something about it for the good of the country.”

Note that to Steve, “do something about it” means write and post a 469 word tweet.

“Because if the environment is this bad in my home state, where Trump has been the most popular political figure over the last decade, I can’t imagine where it is everywhere else. Whatever we’re doing or not doing in Iran/Hormuz has become a 2020 Covid lockdown level political albatross. This is approaching TARP bailout levels of unpopular in my home state. We are risking what’s left of the Trump presidency on this, because if Democrats take control the legislative branch the Trump domestic agenda we all voted for will largely cease between what a Democrat Congress will do and the courts have already been doing. Not to mention what it will cost individual states like my own, which we have worked so hard to make so red these last 20 years (with Trump’s help).”

Worth pausing here to note that Deace doesn’t mention mail-in ballots which in itself is a reminder of how much the “election integrity” shit has trailed off in recent weeks. It’s almost like the MAGA propaganda machine is starting to realize that Dems may indeed win with “too big to rig” margins.

“Less than six weeks until Election Day, Democratic incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul holds a commanding lead over Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman with 58 percent of likely voters supporting Hochul and 39 percent supporting Blakeman, according to a Quinnipiac University New York State poll of likely voters released today,” says Quinnipiac polls in their Tuesday release.

Hmmmm… Yeah it might be kinda tough for the Trump-endorsed Blakeman to pull this one off.
