The House on Friday canceled votes for September 29 and 30, which Punchbowl News’s John Bresnahan reports mean a government shutdown barring a “major reversal.” The continuing resolution bill also either failed just now or is about to fail in the Senate.

Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban on Thursday told state media radio station he’s following his friend convicted felon president Trump’s lead and is designating Antifa as a terrorist group, CNN reports.

“Antifa is a terrorist organization. The time has also come in Hungary for organizations like Antifa to be classified as terrorist organizations, following the American example,” which is a nice tribute as it’s coming the same week Trump’s been following the Orban example.

George HW Bush-appointed Florida Federal Judge Steven Merryday on Friday was pretty savage in his dismissal of convicted felon President Trump’s batshit stupid $15 billion complaint against the New York Times, writing that “even under the most generous and lenient application of” federal court procedure that demands filings be compsed by and for mentally functional adults, “the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible. The pleader initially alleges an electoral victory by President Trump ‘in historic fashion’ – by ‘trouncing’ the opponent – and alludes to ‘persistent election interference from the legacy media, led most notoriously by the New York Times.’ The pleader alludes to ‘the halcyon days’ of the newspaper but complains that the newspaper has become a ‘fullthroated mouthpiece of the Democrat party,’ which allegedly resulted in the ‘deranged endorsement’ of his principal opponent in the most recent presidential election.”

“The reader of the complaint must labor through allegations, such as ‘a new journalistic low for the hopelessly compromised and tarnished ‘Gray Lady.’ The reader must endure an allegation of ‘the desperate need to defame with a partisan spear rather than report with an authentic looking glass’ and an allegation that ‘the false narrative about ‘The Apprentice’ was just the tip of Defendants’ melting iceberg of falsehoods.’ Similarly, in one of many, often repetitive, and laudatory (toward President Trump) but superfluous allegations, the pleader states, ”The Apprentice’ represented the cultural magnitude of President Trump’s singular brilliance, which captured the zeitgeist of our time.”

So Cory Mills says he defended ISIS-sympathizer Ilhan Omar’s right to speak, because of the First Amendment. And yet, he voted to censure Rashida Tlaib. By his own logic, that’s a direct violation of her First Amendment rights. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The hypocrisy is exhausting. https://t.co/kYeWcCpLYQ

Convicted felon President Trump has ordered the firing of US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert for refusing to bring charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James over the bullshit “mortgage fraud” allegation concerning a home in the Old Dominion State in 2023 that is currently occupied by her niece, the Washington Post’s Carol Leonnig reports.

ABC broke the news late Thursday, building on their reporting from earlier in the day but had characterized this as more of failure – as Siebert definitely tried with as many as 15 witnesses brought before a grand jury – rather than the apparent direct insubordination of not pursuing a dead-end case that Leonnig describes writing “This is frightening prosecutors far and wide – as [Siebert] was seen as loyal to Trump team and simply didn’t see a basis to bring criminal case.”

“Since June, the share of adults who say the country is on the wrong track increased 13 percentage points from 62 percent to 75 percent. The shift occurred primarily among Republicans. In June, 29 percent of Republicans said the country was heading in the wrong direction. That number is now 51 percent. The vast majority of Democrats have felt the country is headed in the wrong direction since Donald Trump won the election in 2024,” says the intro to the newest AP-NORC national survey.

Just so we’re clear here, this is what Kimmel said on Monday: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this” after which the show played a clip of reporters talking to the fat fuck on the White House lawn, being asked how he was holding up emotionally after his dear friend Charlie was murdered.

“I think very good. And by the way, right there where you see all the trucks, they just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years, and it’s gonna be a beauty,” said Trump in the clip, after which Kimmel said “Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction… Demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4 year-old mourns a goldfish,” and yeah you can see why the regime calls it “dangerous rhetoric.”

“Hey, you said wheel, bro.”

Ahem. The New York Post reports that Grammy-winning country singer-songwriter Brett James and two other occupants were killed when a single-engine Cirrus SR22T plane crashed in Macon County, North Carolina on Thursday afternoon. While it’s not 100 percent clear he was behind the “wheel,” the aircraft was registered to James. His credits included the headline 2006 Carrie Underwood hit for which the jokes write themselves, Taylor Swift’s “A Perfectly Good Heart,” Brantley Gilbert’s “Bottoms Up” and Rascal Flatts’ “Summer Nights,” and a shit ton of other hits that were scarcely if ever heard on terrestrial radio stations in the New York City region over the last few decades.

MAGA Louisiana Congresswoman Julia Letlow, who won an early 2021 special after her husband Congressman-elect Luke Letlow died of COVID in late 2020 before he could take office, is “seriously considering” a primary challenge to incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy, one of the very few remaining Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, NBC News reports.

Better yet, sources say that Letlow has “received encouragement from the White House to jump into the race” against Cassidy, a physician who opposed Bobby Brainworms’s nomination to Health and Human Services Secretary until Cassidy caved to pressure from the Reich and voted yes. All the caveats about this being anonymously-sourced, that maybe it’s coming from some faction in the White House that has less clout than another that has thus far prevented the Orange God Emperor from publicly annihilating Cassidy’s future in the Senate for nearly five years now, does anyone really disbelieve that would be the outcome? That Cassidy voted with his conscience in 2021, then was forced to eat shit in 2025 on the vague hope that it would spare him from the fat fuck’s wrath, only to be destroyed thereafter anyway? Trump ain’t endorsing Susan Collins but he sure as hell also isn’t endorsing a hardcore MAGA primary challenger to run against her… Probably.

Still, Louisiana ain’t Maine and Bill Cassidy is not Susan Collins. In fact it’s easy to imagine the only reason Trump has held back on backing a challenge is that nobody had stepped up yet. Until now.

New York City Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s team tell Axios that the object of seven years of MAGA media obsession is running for either the Senate – or president – in 2028.

The latter option is, um, a tad ambitious for a woman who would be 39 on January 20, 2029, but the allies say that winning isn’t necessarily the point so much as “to ensure that the Democratic Party’s progressive wing is represented in the primary — just as Sanders did in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.”

Remember how that ended up working out with the Dem voter base in the general election that year? So yeah, in all likelihood that would be very stupid for the country and AOC herself. Basically free Senate seats don’t exactly just open up every cycle and this one is definitely a gimme for AOC, whether the then almost 80 year-old Chuck Schumer runs for reelection or not. Even entertaining a 2028 run – rather than securing herself a higher perch in Congress and then working toward a 2036 or 2040 bid – kind of stains AOC’s otherwise exceptional political talents with the tar of hubris.

“A new Emerson College Polling survey of California voters finds 51 percent plan to vote in favor of Proposition 50 in the November special election, which would authorize temporary changes to congressional district maps. Thirty-four percent plan to vote no, and 15 percent are undecided.”

“Support for Prop 50 is higher among those ‘very likely’ to vote in the November special election, 55 percent of whom plan to vote yes and 35 percent no,” says Emerson’s write-up of their polling.

“Ilhan Omar’s Country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central Government control, persistent Poverty, Hunger, Resurgent Terrorism, Piracy, decades of Civil War, Corruption, and pervasive Violence. 70 percent of the population lives in extreme Poverty, and widespread Food Insecurity.”

“Somalia is consistently ranked among the World’s Most Corrupt Countries, including Bribery, Embezzlement, and a Dysfunctional Government. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America! PS Wasn’t she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship??? What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday.

Not sure what to add here. “Bribery, Embezzlement, and a Dysfunctional Government” are rich coming from him – while insisting that someone from such a country is not a worthy American.

Secretary of Date Rape Defense Pete Hegseth and his minions are considering a new recruitment campaign centered around the achievements of non-military veteran Charlie Kirk, using the slogan of “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors,” in the propaganda, NBC News reports.

Yeah, that’s the stage of, um, grief that the regime is at now. GI Charlie, an American Hero.

Asked about the campaign, Pentagon spokesman/female torture fetishist/abusive husband father Sean Parnell told NBC “The media is so desperate to attack this administration’s success that they are now inventing lies about our recruitment efforts. Leadership matters, and under the strong leadership of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth men and women are coming out in droves to serve this great nation.” Guess Sean doesn’t really like the idea… Until they roll it out.

In an interview aired Thursday convicted felon President Trump assured Fox’s Martha McCallum that the economic good times will probably kick in “in about a year or so” which we were to understand that the economy was already doing spectacularly well soooo… Yeah what a fat fucking idiot.

“The TRAPPIST-1 system offers one of the best opportunities to characterize temperate terrestrial planets beyond our own solar system. Within the TRAPPIST-1 system, planet e stands out as highly likely to sustain surface liquid water if it possesses an atmosphere. Recently, we reported the first JWST/NIRSpec PRISM transmission spectra of TRAPPIST-1 e, revealing significant stellar contamination, which varied between the four visits. Here, we assess the range of planetary atmospheres consistent with our transmission spectrum. We explore a wide range of atmospheric scenarios via a hierarchy of forward modeling and retrievals. We do not obtain strong evidence for or against an atmosphere. Our results weakly disfavor CO2-rich atmospheres for pressures corresponding to the surface of Venus and Mars and the cloud tops of Venus at 2σ.”

“We exclude H2-rich atmospheres containing CO2 and CH4 in agreement with past work but find that higher mean molecular weight, N2-rich atmospheres with trace CO2 and CH4 are permitted by the data. Both a bare rock and N2-rich atmospheric scenario provide adequate fits to the data but do not fully explain all features, which may be due to either uncorrected stellar contamination or atmospheric signals. Ongoing JWST observations of TRAPPIST-1 e, exploiting consecutive transits with TRAPPIST-1 b, will offer stronger constraints via a more effective stellar contamination correction. The present work is part of the JWST Telescope Scientist Team Guaranteed Time Observations, which is performing a Deep Reconnaissance of Exoplanet Atmospheres through Multi-instrument Spectroscopy,” says the abstract to a new paper by a team at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore working off of data from the James Webb space telescope.

And yes, TRAPPIST was named by Belgian scientists for that type of beer brewed by local monks.

Does it count as “violent rhetoric” to say “a cheeseburger should kill this fat fuck” and call on some brave cheeseburger to be the one to finally stop his heart? No? Good. Come on cheeseburger.

Convicted felon President Trump has been nagging his underlings to develop a plan to retake control of the Bagram Air Force base in central Afghanistan, abandoned after the 2021 withdrawal from the country, CNN reports. The fat bastard’s objectives in regaining control is to surveil China, whose border is under 500 miles away, gain access to rare earth elements and mining in Afghanistan, establish a counterterrorism node to target ISIS, and possibly reopen a diplomatic facility.

The US Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case against the Orange God Emperor’s stupid, unnecessary tariffs on November 5th, Axios reports on a decision that could probably go either way.

In related-ish news the fat fuck’s scumbag lawyers also petitioned the court to make a decision on whether Fed Board of Governor member Lisa Cook can be fired over that made-up mortgage shit.

Surprisingly the petition does actually make mention of that completely specious justification for her firing rather than just spit out “Trump is president and can do whatever the fuck he wants.”
