Texas Dem James Talarico’s campaign on Wednesday filed motions to unseal depositions that his Picasso-faced opponent Ken Paxton gave in 2019 and 2022 civil cases, under which it is widely believed that Pax admitted to having committed multiple crimes, the Texas Tribune reports.

At least 17 people are dead and hundreds are missing – as many as 400 international tourists among them – on Wednesday after a flash flood tore through the high valleys of the Himalayas along the border between China and Nepal, CNN reports. Calling it a “flash flood” is actually underselling it as the deluge was not from a rainstorm but a tertiary effect of an earthquake. Nepalese officials say a 4.4-magnitude tremor – mild for the seismically-active region – caused a landslide which in turn blocked a river until the natural dam gave way and sent all the accumulated river flow downhill.

How much time between the quake and when the landslide blockage on the Lhende Khola River collapsed is unclear, but just from footage it may have been at a volume significantly greater than any one downpour of rain could trigger in a single burst. Among those missing are 60 members of a crew building a hydroelectric dam along another river downstream, guys whose project managers and engineering leads’ most important mission is mitigating the very terrifying hazard that befell them, evidently without warning. That and China’s declaration of a “mass casualty incident” on the Tibet side of the border could tragically serve as an ominous sign of a far greater cataclysm across a vast, rugged region than any anodyne headline about the “missing” could. Pretty fucking depressing.

South Carolina US Senator Darline Graham on Tuesday captured the Republican nomination for the November special election for her late brother Lindsey’s seat, though probably not by an overwhelming margin over now two-time 2026 statewide primary loser Congressman Ralph Norman, National Zero projects based on a 7.8 percent lead for Graham with 36 percent of votes counted.

Norman, a Freedom Caucasian who made the mistake of endorsing Nikki Haley for president in 2024, was otherwise a hardcore Trump loyalist who famously begged then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to get the Orange God Emperor to declare “marshall law” to remain in office in a text message sent on January 17, 2021. Why Norman then sided with his former governor three years later is not all that clear but here he is, neither the gubernatorial nominee nor the senate nominee and losing to Lindsey Graham’s sister who openly admitted she doesn’t know shit about national security, anointed by Trump just to reciprocate Lindsey’s mostly fierce loyalty to him.

Legendary country music star and theme park proprietor Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80, the Associated Press reports on the death of the wrong campy, flamboyant octogenarian.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime is considering simply demolishing the Kennedy Center and replacing it with an outdoor amphitheater if courts won’t let him have his way with the storied Washington DC performing arts institution that the fat fuck claims is decrepit. This is not some CNN or Washington Post report, but in a DOJ court filing submitted on Tuesday.

“The Pennsylvania Department of Health today confirmed two measles-associated deaths in Pennsylvania. Both individuals were unvaccinated. These mark the first deaths related to measles in the Commonwealth in 35 years. The best protection against measles is getting fully vaccinated. The MMR vaccine, administered over two doses, boosts a person’s immune system and provides 97 percent lifetime protection,” said the Pennsylvania Department of Health in a Tuesday press release.

“‘My deepest sympathies are with the loved ones who are facing this unimaginable loss,’ said Secretary of Health Dr Debra Bogen. ‘Because measles was largely eliminated in the Commonwealth for more than three decades, people are not familiar with this disease and don’t fully understand the potential severity of the illness. We want to ensure every Pennsylvanian has the information they need to protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities. As a physician, I want to make sure people understand the MMR vaccine is safe and provides the best protection we have against measles.’ DOH confirmed both individuals were unvaccinated residents of Lancaster County.”

“To protect the privacy of the individuals and their families, DOH will not release any additional details that could personally identify these individuals and their families. Protecting Pennsylvanians’ privacy is a core responsibility of DOH,” the release continue, all but screaming “YES THEY WERE AMISH OR MENNONITES, WHO ARE BASICALLY AMISH. YOU GUESSED IT BECAUSE LANCASTER.”

“The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don’t expect to doing much business with Ontario any longer,” posted an increasingly desperate and dying old dictator on Tuesday as he feared his impending doom.

The Hawk Wildfire, which had prompted more than 90,000 evacuations in Reno, Nevada over the weekend was at 27 percent containment and the affected were reduced to 63,000 as of Tuesday morning, the AP reports. Still the progress does not mean victory and fears remain that the blaze – which had already consumed at least 30 homes in the area – could flare up again.

The MAGA majority US Supreme Court on Monday allowed convicted felon President Trump’s order commanding Homeland Security to edit the lists of voters eligible to cast ballots via mail to remain in effect while challenges to its constitutionality proceeded. “The court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the government to implement the order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell. But the order itself does not harm the states, so the District Court lacked jurisdiction to bar the govern­ment from trying to implement it. And for the reasons dis­cussed, that injunction is likely to irreparably harm the government if it remains in place while the appellate pro­cess runs its course,” the court wrote in the order sticking it to the woke libtards.

“Lots of ‘bluster’ from Doug Ford, who is the Premier of the Canadian Province of Ontario, but who is better known as the less charismatic, intelligent, and overall unimpressive brother of the late, great, Rob Ford. America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer! The USA will always be far bigger, richer, and stronger than Canada. Without the US, Canada couldn’t survive – It’s where they get all of their money and, because of their current bad leadership, primarily Gov Carney, and his Flunky, Ford, they will not be allowed to keep taking advantage of the United States – Their key to survival. Remember, much of the Electricity, Oil, and Gas that Canada gets is transported through the USA Someone should get these clowns to ‘fall in line’ or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE! Canada’s Unemployment Rate is now at 10 percent, and rapidly rising. Their businesses are fleeing for the United States, and it’s all because of their failed policies, and inept leadership! The days of ripping off our Farmers, and other Businesses, are OVER!” posted Mao Smalldong on Monday, fucking up bilateral relations because improving it would take actual work and attention.

It’s good… From a Monday press release by Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign: “Today, Ken Paxton unveiled his plan to be a champion for the people of Texas as they grow increasingly concerned about data centers in Texas. This comes after months of Attorney General Paxton listening to the needs and concerns of Texans and national security experts. ‘Texans deserve a fighter to lead and represent them as we address the growing presence of data centers in Texas and stop their negative impact on our neighborhoods. While James Talarico and his campaign infrastructure accept millions of dollars from data center-affiliated donors and put their interests first, I will lead with Texans at the forefront. That’s why I am proud to release my Texas First Data Center Plan that will put Texans first and protect our communities,’ said Attorney General Paxton.”

No, no. The joke isn’t that the corrupt son of a bitch has taken in nearly half a million in contributions from data center operators, nor that he’s announcing this a US Senate candidate rather than his current position from which he could immediately announce an investigation, issue subpoenas, file lawsuits, and so on that would have a much more immediate chilling effect on his donors than any aspirational policy platform if he does manage to defeat Talarico this November. Both of those are “funny” in the way that they’re totally on-brand, standard operating procedure for the 21st century’s most corrupt and fundamentally debased American politician not named Donald Trump.

For a guy who was supposed to have already dismantled ActBlue with his Oversight investigations, James Comer seems awfully sanguine about how they continue to remain intact and operating despite his efforts. In the middle of that the stupid AirPods-wearing hayseed found space to badmouth American voters, complaining about the “angry Democrats who sit around and watch liberal news networks all day and send money,” as though he was speaking somewhere other than Newsmax.

Comer’s Orange Overlord took his rage on voters out much further, posting “The Radical Left Democrats are going CRAZY with Fake Polls. They’re putting them out at levels never seen before. They’re called, ‘Demoralization Operations’ where they try to demoralize Republicans so that they don’t go out and vote – But the actual Polls are tremendous, and the Spirit in our Country has never been higher. We’re winning against EVERYONE, including Iran, whose Country is in Economic and Military Death Spiral,” as if the respondents to said polls are somehow being misled on the matter.

MAGA oligarchs Larry and David Ellison’s quest to acquire Warner Bros-Discovery and subsequently destroy CNN like they did with CBS was hit with a self-inflicted setback Monday after California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office canceled a meeting over leaks to the Wall Street Journal. Leaks specifically about a secret Friday meeting over the proposed terms of a settlement that would allow the two sociopaths to buy up a slimmer Warner Bros portfolio that leaves some assets spun off.

Bonta confirmed the cancellation in a statement to Joe Flint, the same Wall Street Journal reporter who picked up the leaks because why the hell not, the guy already knows the story and all the players. “Not only did Paramount leak the alleged substance of settlement discussions, but they misrepresented these discussions, demonstrating a lack of good faith,” Bonta said. “As soon as Paramount stops playing games and engages sincerely, my office is happy to meet again.”

The text of the above headline, along with a “President DJT,” comprises the entirety of the miserable old man’s Monday morning post to his page on the mid-production value social media network he ordered his minions to build after he was banned from Twitter for inciting a violent insurrection.

No links or further context to support the claim were provided, raising speculation of what specifically prompted the post. Given the hour it’s unlikely to be a reaction to an intelligence briefing informing him that Iran is not collapsing but quite possibly that of a Fox News or maybe even a CNN report informing all viewers – Trump included – that Iran is not collapsing. The all-caps of the statement may further indicate his vehemence at denying the reality that he created for himself by allowing Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu to sell him on launching the campaign against Tehran.

“Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years. Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE! On January First, 2027, Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Auto Parts, and Steel, will be increased to 50 percent. Build in the US and there are ZERO TARIFFS. Canada will be treated like a State no longer! On Trade, and in other ways, also, they are among the worst Nations in the World to deal with. They feel entitled, yet, WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US! They do 95 percent of their business with the US, with us, the exact opposite!” the demented old tyrant later posted as though he were victorious over Iran and could move on to the next destructive conflict.
