At no point in the dog murderer’s rant on Fox and Friends this morning – which obviously she’s in New York City and not Texas – did she specifically deny CNN’s reporting that she personally approves every FEMA invoice over $100,000, which delayed the deployment of urban search and rescue teams needed to comb through the wreckage and find survivors of the flash flood disaster.

Research by the Urban Institute finds that the Big Beautiful Bill’s SNAP food stamp cuts will affect 22.3 million US families” who will lose “losing some or all of their SNAP benefits. Of the total affected families, 5.3 million would lose at least $25 in SNAP benefits per month. Among these families, 3.3 million are families with children, 3.5 million are working families, and 1.7 million are families with a full-time full-year worker. Families losing at least $25 per month would lose $146 per month on average ($1,752 for a full-year recipient). At the state level, average monthly benefit losses for families losing at least $25 per month would range from $72 in Kansas ($864 annually) to $231 in the District of Columbia ($2,772 annually).” Haven’t heard how that’s great for the economy yet.

“The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has fallen by more than 50 percent across the nation so far this year, according to a new report. Analysts chalked up the positive trend to not only better police training but also a shift away from anti-police attitudes since President Trump was reelected last year,” says the lede, emphasis added, to a Tuesday Washington Times article headlined “Sharp drop in police killed on duty credited to Trump-driven shift away from anti-police culture,” shared by the convicted felon president on his shitty Twitter clone on Wednesday.

Yeah, you read that right. The headline asserts that the “Trump-driven shift away from anti-police culture” is solely responsible while the story itself gives it secondary billing after “better police training.” The Times, owned and operated by far-right South Korean messianic cult the Church of the Unification – aka the Moonies – then buries quotes from Bill Alexander, CEO of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund whose semi-annual report did indeed find a sharp decrease in deaths in the line of duty, quotes themselves that kind of fall short of the article’s pitch.

Per the Times, Alexander “also said Mr Trump’s election last fall marked a culture shift away from the anti-police fervor that was so prominent in the previous five years,” then quoting him directly as saying “The profession writ large was targeted and demonized to, I might argue, an unfair degree.”

“President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are saving America. From securing the border at rapid speed and removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from our communities, to bringing manufacturing jobs home and lowering taxes, President Trump’s America First policies are already having positive effects for Americans. My focus is protecting and advancing those policies, and as such, I will not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Michigan governor or US Senate in 2026,” wrote former B-movie actress and failed 2022 Michigan GOP gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon in a statement on Wednesday. Total bummer for Democrats on that one.

The top ten lobbying firms in DC took in $123 million in fees in the first quarter of 2025, a more than 50 percent increase from the roughly $80 million during the same periods in 2017 and 2021, the Wall Street Journal reports on the opposite of draining The Swamp™.

“I am announcing a 50 percent TARIFF on Copper, effective August 1, 2025, after receiving a robust NATIONAL SECURITY ASSESSMENT. Copper is necessary for Semiconductors, Aircraft, Ships, Ammunition, Data Centers, Lithium-ion Batteries, Radar Systems, Missile Defense Systems, and even, Hypersonic Weapons, of which we are building many. Copper is the second most used material by the Department of Defense! Why did our foolish (and SLEEPY!) ‘Leaders’ decimate this important Industry? This 50 percent TARIFF will reverse the Biden Administration’s thoughtless behavior, and stupidity. America will, once again, build a DOMINANT Copper Industry. THIS IS, AFTER ALL, OUR GOLDEN AGE!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday.

The fat fuck also appointed former MTV Real World cast member Sean Duffy to lead NASA.

Four FEMA officials tell CNN that dog-murdering Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is seriously hampering their response to the flash flood disaster in Texas as the desiccated plastic surgery experiment requires a personal signoff for every expenditure over $100,000, which to laypersons sounds like it could be reasonable enough but in practice may have cost lives.

“We were operating under a clear set of guidance: lean forward, be prepared, anticipate what the state needs, and be ready to deliver it,” a veteran FEMA official told CNN, emphasis theirs. “That is not as clear of an intent for us at the moment,” the official continued, adding that because of Noem’s micromanagement they were unable to pre-position Urban Search and Rescue crews when they needed to. Noem didn’t authorize this until Monday, more than 72 hours after the disaster.

This Peter Thiel acolyte startup weirdo August Doricko – who’s been targeted by MAGA conspiracy freaks as responsible for the Texas disaster for reasons obvious but evidence vague – tried to clean up his image with some weird Biblical quotations on Fox News Wednesday. Sounds MAGA legitimate.

Following the unexplained rejection of attempts to redraw the state’s congressional maps to be more favorable to Dems by the state Supreme Court, a coalition of Wisconsin Dems are trying again, this time looking to make their way up through lower courts to flip two seats blue, the AP reports.

“Anti‐competitive gerrymanders are every bit as antithetical to democracy, and to law, as partisan gerrymanders and racial gerrymanders,” the lawsuit from the Wisconsin Business Leaders for Democracy argues, adding “This is because electoral competition is as vital to democracy as partisan fairness” as the average margin in each House race is more than 30 percent.

“I knew and dealt with former President Jair Bolsonaro, and respected him greatly, as did most other Leaders of Countries. The way that Brazil has treated former President Bolsonaro, a Highly Respected Leader throughout the World during his Term, including by the United States, is an international disgrace. This Trial should not be taking place. It is a Witch Hunt that should end IMMEDIATELY! Due in part to Brazil’s insidious attacks on Free Elections, and the fundamental Free Speech Rights of Americans (as lately illustrated by the Brazilian Supreme Court, which has issued hundreds of SECRET and UNLAWFUL Censorship Orders to US Social Media platforms, threatening them with Millions of Dollars in Fines and Eviction from the Brazilian Social Media market), starting on August 1, 2025, we will charge Brazil a Tariff of 50 percent on any and all Brazilian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs. Goods transshipped to evade this 50 percent Tariff will be subject to that higher Tariff. In addition, we have had years to discuss our Trading Relationship with Brazil, and have concluded that we must move away from the longstanding, and very unfair trade relationship engendered by Brazil’s Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers. Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal,” and blah blah blah writes convicted felon president Trump in a letter to Brazilian President Luiz Lula.

Why isn’t every leader in Texas connecting the dots here? The Austin Fire Chief was there because of DEI and failed to deploy resources because he didn’t understand the word “reimbursement” https://t.co/jaSeRtM9LP

THERE’s the DEI angle for the Texas flood disaster. Whew. Looked a little dicey there for a bit. Oh and the Democrats are being disrespectful of the dead victims by questioning what could’ve been done to prevent this horrible tragedy. That’s small-face’s other angle.

House and Senate Dems on Wednesday introduced another bill for John Thune and Mike Johnson’s shredder, titled the “BEACON Act” aimed at amending “the Inspector General Act of 1978 to establish an Office of Inspector General in the Executive Office of the President, and for other purposes,” with BEACON for “Bringing Executive Accountability, Clarity, and Oversight Now Act.”

Like so much in our dark and stupid political era, the old “This time is different” trope has been played to death and watered down to the point of meaninglessness, especially when it comes to the immutable constant of the MAGA cult’s unquestioning loyalty to their Orange God Emperor. That he could literally fucking imprison their foreign-born spouses and ruin their livelihoods on a whim and still they would never lose faith in his divinity says enough. And yet… this time really is kind of different. The latest Jeffrey Epstein coverup isn’t the Iran strikes where the MAGA base was split sort of evenly between the “FUCK YEAH! PROTECT ISRAEL!” and the “NO MORE WARS EVER” sides and it was smoothed over quickly by the limited nature of the campaign, allowing them to move on to the next outrage cycle. This time it’s Trump fanboys angrily despondent over the failure to release everything the government has on Jeffrey Epstein versus the Trump fanboys not saying anything, wishing it would go away – plus Trump himself. Even if it’s extremely unlikely this time will end differently, the unease is extraordinarily palpable in these posts. Unless otherwise noted, all these comments were on stories specifically about Trump snapping at the Epstein question:

“You campaigned on releasing the List. Bondi announced she had it on her desk. Loudly condemning those that question why that promise is being broken only leads to unhealthy speculation on who might be on the list” – Top Comment on WeLoveTrump Report’s article. Wonder how long it took for him to write that comment and whether it was the product of agonized internal deliberation on how best to voice the apprehension evident in the “unhealthy speculation on who might be on the list” part. Like he couldn’t bring himself to post the Occam’s Razor explanation for why Trump was so triggered by the question but had to at least hint at it. Honestly, and from an outside perspective, it was a solid wordsmithing effort. Toes the line pretty gracefully for a MAGA shitposter.

“Yeah… That is following the dots. ‘Intel services are at the very center of the story. US and Israeli, and they’re being protected.’ I do not know how else anybody could spin this” – Top Comment on BizPacReview’s article about Tucker Carlson’s theories on the Epstein shitshow. Of course the article itself doesn’t go into the rabbit hole of Jeffy’s supposed connections to the Mossad and the CIA because that would kind of be an acknowledgement that Trump is powerless against and unwilling to expose a foreign/Deep State intel operation while Tucker himself seems alright pointing there.

“Epstein is dead, he will never molest anyone ever again, a small amount of justice has been exacted with his death. Who does it serve to keep making an issue out of this. With the Watergate like events surrounding the whole of the Biden years and this Epstein whirling dervish mudding the waters of the crimes of the Biden years seems to only be aiding the communist democrats” – The former top Comment on Blaze Media’s article. Former because it was tops as of around 2:30 PM EDT on Tuesday before it was sunk with downvotes. Kept it here for posterity and that it’s one of few here coming anywhere close to obeying the Orange Tyrant’s apparent official line on Epstein.

“A counterterrorism expert says that Iranian sleeper cells may be hiding ‘in plain sight,’ waiting to strike rural areas in America,” says the lede to a Fox News article and entire books could be written on that one sentence and how it serves as an epitaph of whatever subtlety there was once was to propaganda. Might as well just leave it off there so all can marvel in its glory.

Per the AP, Republican Swain County, North Carolina Sheriff Curtis Cochran tendered his resignation last week, days after he was arrested on two counts of oppression in office and one count of abusive sexual contact over two separate incidents considerably more fucked up than the statutes would imply. A June 27th Smoky Mountain News story on the charges – brought under Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians tribal law – are a red flag that the incidents were part of a pattern and just the times that Cochran, 72, got caught trying to diddle poor, young Indigenous women.

An affidavit from the first victim says she accepted a ride from Cochran after a fight with her boyfriend on the side of a road, which she regretted right away. “Curtis immediately took my left pinky and began rubbing it against his polo shirt as we were going by the sand bluff. By the time we got to Jenkins Grocery, Curtis began rubbing and squeezing my left breast with his right hand. When Curtis rubbed my left breast, he commented that my breast did not feel real and said, ‘show me.’ I did not show him my breast. I was wearing a camisole and Curtis tried to put his hand under my shirt through the neckline of my top. I would estimate his fingers went several inches into the top of my shirt. I pushed his hand away and told him that I didn’t like that,” the woman wrote.

An aide to “moderate” New York Congressworm Mike Lawler almost certainly posed as a local lefty activist to stir shit up with libs who heckled the Michael Jackson superfan at a May 4th town hall, Lohud.com has concluded after matching Lawler’s assistant district director Erin Crowley’s number to that of an apparently fictional “Jake Thomas” who infiltrated a Signal chat group prior to the event.

“Jake” posted “I can’t stand how he lies!” to the “Fight Lawler” group during the event at 6:38 pm on May 4th. “We should boo him off the stage!” It was then that, due to the vagaries of how Signal and similar apps interact with existing contacts in people’s phones, that Erin Crowley and not “Jake Thomas” appeared as the name on the phone of one of the “Fight Lawler” group members who’d had Crowley in his contacts. Then, after two of the libs were carried out for interrupting Lawler, “Jake” posted “Should we walk out en masse? Make a point we won’t tolerate his bullshit anymore.”

“Walking out of the hall would have been to their benefit. That would have been great for them. I said on the chat that I didn’t think it was a good idea,” said the group’s co-founder Ann Starer.

“Ciro Riccardi, Lawler’s director of communications, did not respond to two emails and a phone message seeking comment over the past three weeks. Crowley has not responded to three email requests for comment since first contacted on the issue May 20. She walked away from this writer on June 16 when asked about the Signal group following a meeting of Putnam County legislative committee in Carmel. She did so again on July 1, as she was escorted by a Putnam County deputy sheriff to a legislative meeting,” Lohud reporter David McKay Wilson writes about his efforts to get Crowley – also a Putnam County legislator – to answer some basic questions about the incident.
