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.

GROCERY GRIEF: Speaker Johnson reacts to the latest inflation data showing prices pushing higher for American families.

"Not good news and real families are feeling that. And we're keenly aware of it, very sensitive to it here in Congress."

“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.

“Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!), and then finally hit ‘pay dirt’ when Barack Hussein Obama became President. He was not only good to them, he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel, and all other Allies, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and 1.7 Billion Dollars in green cash, flown into Tehran, was handed to them on a silver platter.”

“Every Bank in DC, Virginia, and Maryland was emptied out – It was so much money that when it arrived, the Iranian Thugs had no idea what to do with it. They had never seen money like this, and never will again. It was taken off the plane in suitcases and satchels, and the Iranians couldn’t believe their luck. They finally found the greatest SUCKER of them all, in the form of a weak and stupid American President. He was a disaster as our ‘Leader,’ but not as bad as Sleepy Joe Biden!”

“For 47 years the Iranians have been ‘tapping’ us along, keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now GREAT AGAIN Country. They will be laughing no longer!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday, evidently tired of being laughed at so cruelly.

The every bank in DC/Virginia/Maryland lie is interesting. Wonder why he doesn’t just go bigger on that one and say that Fort Knox and the Federal Reserve Bank were emptied out too.

As part of their plan to turn things around for the Republican Party’s prospects in this November’s midterms amid headwinds wrought by soaring gas prices, convicted felon President Trump’s regime plans to release 70 hours of then-former Vice President Joe Biden’s 2017 convos with his ghostwriter acquired by special counsel Robert Hur’s 2023 documents probe, Politico reports.

Biden plans to fight the release but holy shit this is even dumber than it first appears. If the logic is to make Biden look old and doddering and take things out of context then what the hell is audio from nearly a decade ago, long before actually being president degraded him going to do?

Jackass Secretary of Energy Chris Wright on Sunday was made by NBC’s Kristen Welker to watch a March clip of himself predicting sub-$3/gallon gas by the summer on the exact same show, leading him to sheepishly walk back his ability to predict anything. “Look, I can’t predict the price of energy in the short or even medium term, but what we’re doing is ending a 47 year conflict,” Wright then said when asked if Americans should be prepared for $5+ a gallon.
