Convicted felon President Trump’s reich is working on an executive order to fire thousands of workers at US the Department of Health and Human Services workers, the Wall Street Journal reports citing sources that tell them the FDA, CDC, and other agencies would have to cut a certain percentage of employees for who the fuck knows what the made-up reason will be.

Clip from audio of a call between a federal employee and one of Elon Musk’s DOGE minions acquired by the Washington Post’s Jeff Stein about the “deferred resignation”-based “buyout offer”:

Employee: “Lets say I accept the agreement tomorrow – you were to rescind the agreement and they were to stop paying me on Friday… we would have no recourse available?”

DOGEified HR person “Yes… as the agreement is outlined that is absolutely correct”

The House Republican caucus unsurprisingly aren’t shaking their reputation for incompetence and dysfunction thus far in the 119th Congress as CNBC reports they’re nowhere near agreement on how to proceed enacting convicted felon President Trump’s agenda for tax cuts, border security, defunding programs for helping poor people, and raising or abolishing the debt ceiling, all held up by the anti-spending dipshits who are larger in number than the GOP majority’s margin.

“We’re stuck in the mud,” Byron Donalds told CNBC after leaving a House Republican meeting on Wednesday. “There’s a lot of, what do they call it, paralysis of analysis? And I think at this point, we need to just make a clear decision.” No clear decision will be forthcoming, especially for a party led by a demented old asshole who only ran to stay out of prison and won by lying to voters.

Again, this Brandon Gill is like 27 years old and his only qualification is marrying and knocking up inept conspiracy theorist filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza’s daughter Danielle.

Convicted felon President Trump’s Justice Department on Thursday filed a lawsuit against Illinois Gov JB Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, the city of Chicago, and other officials and entities for what they claim is them “minimally enforcing—and oftentimes affirmatively thwarting – federal immigration laws over a period of years has resulted in countless criminals being released into Chicago who should have been held for immigration removal from the United States.”

Why the civil action? What happened to prosecuting them like Tom Homan promised?

Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday used a procedural maneuver to delay shitty children’s book author and conspiracy freak Kash Patel to lead the FBI, CNN’s Manu Raju reports.

Panamanian President Jose Mulino on Thursday denied the State Department’s claims that a deal allowing US warships to transit the Panama Canal for free had been reached, the AP reports, on Team Trump shooting their load early and declaring nonexistent victory in negotiations.

“I completely reject that statement yesterday,” Mulino told reporters. The State Department’s Twitter account on Wednesday had claimed, without evidence, that “US government vessels can now transit the Panama Canal without charge fees, saving the US government millions of dollars a year.”

Not to justify Trump’s batshittery but that specific concession might’ve been a good idea to secure when the treaty handing over the canal and the territory around it was worked out in the 1970s.

The constant swarm of earthquakes rattling the touristy Greek island of Santorini and others in its vicinity in the Aegean Sea have not only continued but intensified as a 5.2 magnitude tremor struck Wednesday, the most intense so far since the swarm began late last week, CNN reports.

“The whole state mechanism has been activated and I want to urge our citizens to cooperate with the authorities,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said after meeting with officials on Wednesday.

Santorini is one of several islands that were once part of a single mass that blew its top in a massive eruption tens of thousands of years ago, with the remainder still ringing an undersea caldera that continues to be active. However geologists say the current swarm is of seismic and not volcanic origin, though such swarms are typically associated with the movement of magma and a possible imminent eruption. Either way some 11,000 tourists have fled or been evacuated from the island.

“The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting, the Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The US, working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth. No soldiers by the US would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday.

Yeah, total 5D chess in setting the table for hard-charging negotiations against Iran. Just absolutely masterful strategy here, pissing off everyone else in the Middle East. Good call, Kayleigh.

The fat bastard also screamed in mostly caps about an already-debunked bullshit story claiming that the USAID agency sent Politico $8 million, writing “LOOKS LIKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN STOLLEN AT USAID, AND OTHER AGENCIES, MUCH OF IT GOING TO THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA AS A ‘PAYOFF’ FOR CREATING GOOD STORIES ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. THE LEFT WING ‘RAG,’ KNOWN AS ‘POLITICO,’ SEEMS TO HAVE RECEIVED $8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive money??? Who else did??? THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THEM ALL, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY! THE DEMOCRATS CAN’T HIDE FROM THIS ONE. TOO BIG, TOO DIRTY!”

Still raging at exiled former Bangladeshi dictator Sheikh Hasina, an angry mob in Dhaka on Wednesday set fire to her childhood home, an abode that had been converted to a history museum in honor of her late father and the country’s first president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Then, after the flames had died down, the mob brought an excavator and knocked down the remains of the house.

Missing from the BBC’s reporting on the incident is whether any of the protestors pissed on the charred rubble, though that would probably be safe bet. In a Facebook livestream after her home was destroyed, Hasina condemned the attack and demanded “justice,” vowing “they can demolish a building, but they can’t erase history.” Rahman, who was executed by a military junta just a few years after leading Bangladesh’s war of independence against Pakistan, is still seen as a national hero, though obviously that image has taken a hit after 20 years of misrule by his daughter, who fled to India last August amid massive civil unrest. The interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has been trying to get her extradited and presumably killed by an angry mob before she could face trial.

Tuesday’s batshittery about the US taking over Gaza was apparently the last straw for Dearborn, Michigan conservative activist Bishara Bahbah, chairman of Arab Americans for Trump, who tells the Associated Press the group is now officially called “Arab Americans for Peace.”

“The talk about what the president wants to do with Gaza, obviously we’re completely opposed to the idea of the transfer of Palestinians from anywhere in Historic Palestine, and so we did not want to be behind the curve in terms of pushing for peace, because that has been our objective from the very beginning,” Bahbah continued, still trying to save face after having his pissed on.

In related news, the AP also reports on Thursday that the Israel government has “begun preparations for the departure of large numbers of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in line with President Donald Trump’s plan for the territory. Officials meanwhile said Egypt has launched an diplomatic blitz behind the scenes to try and head off the plan.” That’s verbatim. They are actually trying to make this happen irrespective of the seriousness of Trump’s assertions of US involvement.

Convicted felon President Trump’s team are looking at ways to claim that migrants approaching the southern border are a risk for spreading measles and tuberculosis into the US in order to legally justify invoking Title 42 as they did during the COVID pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Sources tell NBC News that now-former Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Linda Fagan, fired by convicted felon President Trump over “DEI” bullshit on his second day in office, was given 60 days to remain in the commandant’s residence at Joint Base Anacostia Bolling in DC while she found a new place to live. Until she wasn’t, and on Trump’s personal orders Tuesday, Fagan was given three hours to pack up her personal effects and leave. “The president wants her out of quarters,” Acting Commandant Kevin Lunday had told officials at the base. Fagan was provided with other housing.

Look at what they’re doing. They want their Luigis to kill Russ Vought

This is why they were calling for war

Now the headlines here can only be so long and the entire quote from Layla Elabed, co-chair of the suicidally stupid “Uncommitted” movement of Michigan voters to NBC News is actually “Harris left a vacuum by not visiting Michigan families impacted by US-supplied bombs to help create a permission structure for their trust while Trump visited Dearborn and filled a community in despair with lies. Trump’s illegal calls for ethnic cleansing are horrific, but as on so many other issues, Democrats had a chance to persuade voters they were the better alternative and they blew it.”

Lol. Seriously go fuck yourself. You knew Trump was lying to these people and that it was a binary choice. You had agency in this. There is no “but” here, you pathetic worm. Again former Vice President Kamala Harris probably would’ve lost anyway even without the perfidy of the pro-Palestine left and the Arab-American voters who bought into that shit. Trump hosted the whole far right Israel cult at one of his clubs on October 7th, 2024. You were willfully blind to his allegiance with those assholes. Now you get to live with yourselves every time Trump says this kind of shit.

Not like Elabed is going to read that but it still felt good to write. For an actual response she might see, NBC’s story quotes from former senior Dem aide Adam Jentelson, who said “Leaders of the Uncommitted movement want to blame everyone but themselves for their disastrous strategy that helped elect Donald Trump. They told people not to vote for Democrats, and now Trump is threatening to annex Gaza. It was obvious all along that this would be what happened if Trump won but Uncommitted chose to ignore this crystal clear reality and plow ahead with a deeply irresponsible strategy. They should be accountable to the people they misled.”

Convicted felon President Trump signing an order banning transgender athletes from playing in women’s sports, the fat bastard announced he’ll be ordering DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to “reject any and all visa applications made by men attempting to fraudulently enter the United States while identifying as women athletes, trying to get into the games, maybe,” seemingly referring to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, per footage of the signing ceremony by clip guy Aaron Rupar.
