Perfectly timestamped to start at the point where Neckbeard denies that convicted felon President Trump ever said he doesn’t care about Americans’ financial situations. Even though he did.

“In full view of this NOTUS reporter,” writes NOTUS reporter Reese Gorman describing the sourcing for this story, which none of the parties involved denied when Gorman followed up with their respective offices to ask for comment. He got none, but there was no denial either.

With that out of the way, Gorman writes that he was in a DC restaurant on Tuesday evening speaking to douchey Michael Jackson fan Congressman Mike Lawler when an inebriated man interrupted and introduced himself as William Paul, the son of the junior Kentucky Senator Rand, ranting to Lawler that if other Blue Grass State libertarian Thomas Massie loses his primary next week to Trump-backed MAGA droid challenger Ed Gallrein, it’ll be because of “your people.”

“My people?” Lawler then asked. “Yeah, you Jews,” William responded. “Do you think I’m Jewish? I’m not,” Lawler then said to which William said “Oh wow, I’m so sorry for calling you a Jew.” Seems to be sarcastic, as William then went on about how Jews are “anti-American” and how Lawler and his “Jewish supporters” were Israeli pawns. “Paul Singer serves Israeli interests, not American interests,” William continued, referring to some rich asshole backing an anti-Massie PAC.

“Well, you just seem to hate Jews, so there’s no point arguing anymore,” Lawler then said, prompting William to shove a finger in Lawler’s face, saying, “Don’t put words in my mouth, Mike Lawler, I never said that.” William then ranted about the SALT cap for a bit before Lawler told him “Please leave us alone.” William walked away and flipped Lawler off. “Did you just give me the middle finger?” Lawler then asked. “I’m sorry, yeah, I did. I’m just really drunk. I’m going to leave,” William said before he paid his tab and knocked over a bar stool on his way out the door of the unnamed establishment.

In related news, Meidas Touch reports Gallrein’s political director Tris Lehner’s YouTube account is a long paper trail of antisemitic propaganda, lowlights of which include a video titled “Billy Graham to Richard Nixon: Hitler went about it wrong but this stranglehold has got to be broken.”

The South Carolina State Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned the murder convictions and life sentence of prominent South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh, who was allegedly shot in the head on a desolate highway on September 4th, 2020 (but wasn’t actually shot, per a police report), the day after he quit his law firm to enter rehab under suspicion of having embezzled money, two months after his wife Margaret Murdaugh and son Paul Murdaugh were found dead on one of the family’s properties shot with an assault rifle and a shotgun, respectively, three years after Paul drunkenly crashed a boat into a bridge pylon, killing a 19-year-old female acquaintance and had been facing trial for felony charges related to her death, and six years after his other son Buster Murdaugh might have also kind of murdered another kid… Yeah the justice unanimously tossed the verdict and his life sentences for killing his son and wife due to comments by the court clerk, FITSNews reports.

Murdaugh’s still in the joint for a long ass time after he pleaded guilty to a shit ton of other crimes.

By order of Speaker Cameron Sexton, every Democrat in the Tennessee state House was removed from their committee assignments on Tuesday as punishment for “instigating and encouraging” disruptions and “disorder on the House floor” during last Thursday’s vote to gerrymander out the sole Dem-leaning district in the Volunteer State, CNN reports on more Putin-zation in Red States.

“In the final weeks of Joe Biden’s presidency, FBI agents tied to Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation memorialized anew their belief that President Donald Trump broke the law in contesting the 2020 election and secretly arranged to preserve their evidence until 2030 in memos that raise alarm they could revive their prosecution after Trump leaves office,” writes shitbag propagandist John Solomon in the lede to his story headlined “Biden FBI secretly set up Trump to be indicted after he leaves office, Arctic Frost memos suggest.” Yeah John, we’d love it.

Sandbagging real Democratic Candidate Cindy Burbank on Tuesday won the D Senate primary in Nebraska, defeating MAGA sandbagger-running-as-a-Democrat Bill Forbes, the AP projects.

The entire point of Burbank’s campaign is now to drop out and clear the way for independent Dan Osborn. Burbank literally ran on this while Forbes – a Trump-voting pastor – ran to box Osborn out.

Burbank leads the count by 81 percent over Forbes. Osborn will face in-scum-bent Senator Pete Ricketts in November provided Burbank upholds her pledge to drop out after the primary.

Responding to Virginia MAGA Congresswoman Jen Kiggans’s lame attempted disavowal of radio host Rich Herrera’s comment that Hakeem Jeffries should get his “cotton-picking hands” off the Old Dominion State, DCCC spokeswoman Christie Stephenson said “Jen Kiggans had her chance to disavow the vile, racist and dehumanizing comments from far-right talk show host Rich Herrera.”

“Instead, she doubled down. Then, Jen Kiggans tripled down and attempted to blame partisanship in a pathetic follow-up statement. It was a stunning failure of judgment and leadership for a so-called moderate Member of Congress representing a large, vibrant African American community in Virginia.”

“Extremists who endorse disgusting, vile and racist language are pathetic. Jen Kiggans has no interest in our nation’s progress toward a multi-racial democracy and apparently craves a return to the days of Jim Crow racial oppression in the South. That’s why MAGA Republicans in legislatures and courts across America have launched a full-scale assault on Black representation.”

Herrera’s YouTube channel on Tuesday attempted to bury the interview by deleting the clip.

He was blinking, you absolute moron https://t.co/7gw3n7l8R3

“Pursuant to Committee Rule 7, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ethics (Committee) determined to release the following statement: On November 19, 2025, the Committee announced that it had established an Investigative Subcommittee (ISC) to review various allegations relating to Representative Cory Mills. These allegations are serious and complex and the ISC is devoting significant resources to the investigation. The ISC has authorized more than 20 subpoenas, collected thousands of documents, and contacted dozens of witnesses. The ISC expects to receive additional relevant documents and testimony in the coming weeks and will take all necessary steps to conduct a full and thorough investigation,” says a House Ethics Committee statement.

“The ISC is reviewing allegations that Representative Mills may have violated various laws, rules, or other standards of conduct. That review includes a February 2025 incident, in which the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) responded to a report that Representative Mills had assaulted a woman with whom he was in a relationship. Although the MPD determined not to charge Representative Mills for assault following this incident, a decision not to bring charges is not a finding of innocence or “no wrongdoing.” The review also includes the circumstances relating to a widely-reported October 2025 court-issued injunction against Representative Mills, which limited his engagement over social media and other forms of contact with a woman, including preventing Representative Mills from going within 500 feet of the woman’s residence or place of employment.”

Neckbearded Vice President JD Vance will head to Bangor, Maine on Thursday, per an announcement from the Stephen King State’s GOP but minus any other particular reason for the visit. Could be some concern for Senator Susan “Concern Lady” Collins as she faces a tough challenge from Graham Platner.

“Early in the morning of 10 August 2025, a >64 × 106 m3 landslide struck Tracy Arm fjord in Alaska. The landslide was preconditioned by glacial retreat caused by climate change. The resulting 481 m runup megatsunami followed an initial 100-m-high breaking wave traveling >70 m s−1. The landslide was preceded by several days of microseismicity, which increased in rate and magnitude until ~1 hour before failure. The landslide produced globally observed long-period seismic waves equivalent in size to a M5.4 earthquake. A long-period (~66 s) global seismic signal, produced by a landslide-induced seiche trapped within the fjord, persisted for up to 36 hours, the second time a days-long seiche has been thus observed. With fjord regions increasingly visited by cruise ships, and climate change making similar events more likely, this unanticipated, near-miss event highlights the growing risk from landslides and tsunamis in coastal environments,” says the abstract to a new paper by a team led by University of Calgary researcher Aram Fathian on the mega-tsunami that could’ve wiped out a cruise ship if it had happened at the wrong time. Or the right time, if you’re a misanthrope.

Asked by NOTUS if he had any other ideas on how to message convicted felon President Trump’s self-inflicted spike in gas prices, a GOP operative said “Isn’t that the only argument you can have right now? It affects our voters more than their voters. We live farther apart from each other… You hope and pray it’s temporary. I can’t with a straight face come up with anything better.”

A Senate GOP aide – anonymously, of course – admitted the whole “Well gas prices were higher under Biden” was bullshit. “That’s not really a good defense. You don’t try to defend high prices, you just try to bring them down. That they’re temporary is the best defense,” the dickbag said, adding that the problem is only being exacerbated by higher fertilizer prices ravaging farm states. “That’s almost as big of a liability as gas prices… A lot of states up this cycle have the combination…”

“It’s not good. It’s a nasty combination,” the aide continued ruminating. Sure sucks for him.

In a leading indicator that escaped notice when MirrorIndy reported it last week, Dem turnout in Indianapolis’s Marion County friggin exploded for Hoosier State’s primary election: Overall turnout was at 15.8 percent, the highest since 2010, and 80 percent of that was from registered Dems up from about 60 percent in 2022 and 2018 – the Blue Wave year that saw the Ds flip 39 House seats,

“Last night is proof that Marion County Democrats are fired up and ready to fight,” said Myla Eldridge, chair of the Marion County Democratic Party, in an emailed statement. “The frustration Democrats feel right now is real and voters showed that yesterday. We are going to channel that frustration into organizing and turning out Indy Democrats in full force this November.”

In a total act of election interference, Reuters reports that the Philippines House of Representatives on Monday voted 255 to 63 to impeach psychopath Vice President Sara Duterte – daughter of Hague-imprisoned former dictator Rodrigo Duterte – on articles of misuse of public funds, amassing unexplained wealth, and threats against President Ferdinand “BongBong” Marcos Jr, the first ‌lady and the ​former house speaker, putting her presidential ambitions in serious jeopardy.

It’s not clear when the trial will begin but the defendant will likely put on a hell of a show.
