The Pennsylvania state House on Wednesday passed House Bill 847 allowing the pre-canvassing of mail-in ballots up to seven days prior to Election Day, thereby removing the lag that took four days for the 2020 election to be called. It’s unclear if the GOP-controlled state Senate will take it up though, since they were happy to give fat former President Trump room to claim fraud that year.

Treasury Department: “Today, the Department of the Treasury is taking action to further degrade Russia’s ability to sustain its war machine, continuing a multilateral campaign to limit the Kremlin’s revenue and access to the materiel it needs to prosecute its illegal war against Ukraine. Today’s actions target Russia’s military-industrial base and chemical and biological weapons programs as well as companies and individuals in third countries that help Russia acquire key inputs for weapons or defense-related production. The United States, along with many international partners, is particularly concerned about entities based in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other third countries that provide critical inputs to Russia’s military-industrial base.”

“This support enables Russia to continue its war against Ukraine and poses a significant threat to international security. The almost 300 targets being sanctioned by both Treasury and the Department of State include sanctions on dozens of actors that have enabled Russia to acquire desperately needed technology and equipment from abroad.”

Two Arizona state Senate Republicans joined 14 Democrats on Wednesday voting in favor of passing the state House’s bill repealing the 1864 ban on abortions, ABC15’s Garrett Archer reports, adding that recently indicted fake Trump 2020 elector state Senator Anthony Kern kind of lost his shit after the vote, saying Republicans gave up on the marriage issue, now the abortion issue, and wondering out loud if pedophilia was going to be the next one they surrender.

Joining a few minutes late and already we missed the fat bastard simultaneously denying and taking credit for Biden’s economy with “They call them fake numbers. They call them bounce back numbers,” saying “GOP growth is plunging,” struggling to pronounce “infrastructure,” and just generally making himself look like the demented megalomaniacal asshole that he is.

“The United States, by and through its attorneys, respectfully files this notice to inform the Court in advance of the May 2, 2024 status conference that, during its trial preparations, the government discovered that the defendant violated his pretrial conditions in this matter on at least two occasions by traveling out of state without providing notice to his Pretrial Services officer, as discussed below.”

“On March 9, 2023, the Court set the defendant’s pretrial conditions in this matter, which included in relevant part as follows: ‘Defendant must notify the Pretrial Services-Middle District of Florida in advance of any travel outside of the district.’ Based on publicly available information, it appears the defendant traveled to Greeley, Pennsylvania in or around October 7, 2023 to attend and speak at the ‘Rod of Iron Freedom Festival.’ Again in or around March 16, 2024, the defendant traveled to Morristown, Tennessee to attend and speak at another iteration of the same event, the ‘Rod of Iron Freedom Festival,'” write DC federal prosecutors in their notice to the court of pretrial restriction violations in the case of Capitol rioter Jesse James Rumson, aka “Sedition Panda” because he wore a giant panda furry costume head while storming the Capitol on January 6th.

The “Rod of Iron Ministries” are a cult of gun worshipping freaks based in the state and a sub-sect of the far-right South Korean Unification Church, aka the “Moonies,” led by the Rev Sean Moon, son of the late Unification Church founder and Jesus Christ-reincarnate megalomaniac Sun Myung Moon (hence “Moonies”), their services featuring a golden, jewel-encrusted AK-47 touted in the aisle.

Calling anti-vax dipshit Robert F Kennedy Jr’s ubiquity “concerning and beyond logic,” Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita tells Politico how frustrated he is “that there are some conservative platforms that continue to give a voice to someone that has called the NRA a terrorist group, who believes in eliminating gas powered engines, believes in a 70% tax bracket and generally subscribes to the same school of thought as Karl Marx,” as if it wasn’t a conscious decision by MAGA to hype him up and to run against Joe Biden in the Dem primary and then as an independent.

It’s almost like they could have seen this coming last year when they encouraged their allies in the right wing media to platform Kennedy to make his candidacy into a thing, which Politico writes is now “beginning to raise alarms at Mar-a-Lago” over the “rising threat” he “poses to Trump.”

“They see an opening, they see a robust ecosystem on the right that they can pull votes from,” said former Tim Scott campaign official Matt Gorman. “I think sometimes, Republicans tend to lull ourselves into believing, ‘Oh, he’s just taking votes from Biden.’ No, he’s going after everybody.”

Biden has made 148 mistakes in public speeches in 2024 alone, official transcripts show

The White House has had to correct President Joe Biden's public remarks at least 148 times since the beginning of 2024, averaging more than one gaffe a day, according to The Daily Caller’s… pic.twitter.com/0y7oYyPy10

“Join us for a historic moment at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention as we welcome former President Donald J Trump to the podium. This momentous occasion will mark the first time a former President directly addresses our members, candidates, and executive committee. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear insights from a prominent figure in American politics and watch him engage with Libertarian ideals,” says a page on the Libertarian National Party’s official website. Then it says “Be sure to register for the convention and cast your vote on the topics President Trump will address during his time at the podium. If you aren’t able to make it to convention, no problem! You can still register to vote in this poll by paying the $10 entry fee at the bottom of this page,” lol.

No idea what the hell’s going on here other than maybe Trump is trying to win the party’s nomination so he doesn’t have to worry about an actual Libertarian candidate taking votes from him. The 2020 candidate Jo Jorgensen had ended up taking more votes than the deltas between Biden and Trump in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin – and also came close in Pennsylvania – so whether or not Jorgensen was really an actual “spoiler” against him it would probably make him feel just a little bit more comfortable to have all the third party dipshits be from the “left” this year.

President Joe Biden will address the NAACP Detroit Branch’s 69th annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner in Detroit on May 19th, a major stop in front of 10,000 guests, the Detroit News reports.

Court documents filed in former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shae Moss’s lawsuit against now-technically bankrupt extremist fake news outlet the Gateway Pundit obtained in discovery and then picked up by the Guardian reveal that the crew had “major concerns as to the professionalism, reliability, and honesty of several contributors, including Jordan Conradson, who wrote some of the” articles defaming the Georgia mother-daughter duo as Soros-paid saboteurs who tampered with ballots to steal the 2020 election from fat former President Trump.

Freeman and Moss’s lawyers asserted they have an email by Gateway’s counsel John Burns, who warned staff not to rely on a “source” in Georgia named Kevin Moncla, writing that he’s a “goddamned fraud” is a “known fabricator. I wouldn’t touch/publish anything he produces.” And an email from Moncla telling a reporter he will “help you nail these bitches,” referring to the two.

Moncla, who in 2006 was ordered to pay a $3.25 million civil judgment after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor voyeurism charge for hiding a camera in his home’s bathroom to spy on people, wrote in an email that Burns was “entitled to his opinion, as I am entitled to mine. I would challenge the son of a bitch to provide any support for such statements – in the multiple articles I have ghost-written for his client, The Gateway Pundit, or otherwise. I stand by my work and my statements as I invest the time to do the work and research and take very seriously what I publish.” Moncla had managed to obtain Freeman and Moss’s non-public employment files from the Fulton County elections commission, which was probably the only actual real information he got on which to base his defamatory assault on the women who won $148 million from Rudy Giuliani last year.

The Guardian notes that the filing, submitted to a St Louis federal court on April 16th, probably explains why Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft filed for bankruptcy protection a week later.

Well here we go again with another ridiculous “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government,” and again it’s on “the Biden White House’s censorship regime.” On deck as witnesses are Rob Flaherty, former Assistant to the President and Director of Digital Strategy at the Biden White House, Andy Slavitt, former Senior Advisor for the Biden White House’s COVID-19 Response Team, Todd Zywicki, Professor, Antonin Scalia Law School, and Matt Seligman, Fellow, Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School. Should be entertaining for a little while at least.

On Tuesday Virginia Dem Congressman Gerry Connolly announced he would move to disband Jordan’s sad, stupid, failed committee. “It is safe to say this effort is not even in the same league as the January 6th Committee. Two-thirds of the Subcommittee’s hearings this Congress have been on the Twitter Files. Majority witness after majority witness has been coaxed out of the shadows of conspiracy theory only to wither under the lights at our witness table,” said Connolly in a statement.

“Speaker Johnson released the following statement on Congresswoman Greene’s announcement that she intends to call a vote to remove the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives: ‘This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country,'” says Mike Johnson’s office in a very brief statement on the QAdulteress’s terrorist threats.

“A seemingly innocent online connection turned into a nightmare for one Arcadia man when he traveled to Wauchula to meet with a woman he had met on social media. What began as flirtatious banter quickly escalated into a harrowing ordeal, resulting in the arrest of Ms Crystal Skiba. Upon arriving at Ms Skiba’s residence, the victim, whose identity is being withheld for privacy, was invited inside where he was met with unexpected aggression. Ms Skiba allegedly attempted to seduce him before revealing her true intentions. It became apparent to the victim that he was in a dangerous situation when Ms Skiba demanded payment and brandished a handgun, blocking his exit.”

“Despite his attempts to flee, the victim found himself in a life-threatening situation as Ms Skiba fired multiple shots at his vehicle. Miraculously, he managed to escape and alert the Hardee County Sheriff’s Office to the terrifying encounter. Subsequent investigation by detectives uncovered not only the firearm used in the incident but also illicit narcotics within the residence.”

“Shockingly, two minor children were present during the ordeal, further compounding the gravity of the situation. Ms Skiba now faces a litany of charges, including attempted first-degree murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and possession of a controlled substance, among others. The safety and well-being of the community, especially its most vulnerable members, remain paramount as law enforcement continues to pursue justice in this case,” says a press release from the Hardee County, Florida Sheriff’s Office. They don’t include any links to safety tips about online dating or anything like that. Maybe because this is sort of a regular occurrence in the area and people kind of take it as a given that Facebook hookups sometimes involve narrowly escaping gunfire.

Well this crazy asshole and her antisemitic sidekick want earned media attention and by God we’re going to give it to them on the hope that their parliamentary terrorism helps invite further chaos among the caucus of a party that has absolutely no business being in the chamber’s majority.

And yeah, if you’ve been watching you’ll have heard Greene claiming she will actually finally maybe actually put her motion to vacate on the House floor at some unspecified point next week.

A CNN/SSRS survey, which we think is probably underselling this because they were pretty obviously full of shit on their presidential race numbers in the same sample, nevertheless found 65 percent of respondents opposed to the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision and 49 favoring Congressional action to codify a right to abortion nationwide, while 37 percent favor “leaving it to the states” and 14 percent still opposed to any access to women’s rights to reproductive healthcare.

The finding was published on the same day a new six-week abortion ban comes into effect in Florida while in Arizona the state Senate is poised to take up a bill repealing the draconian 1864 law revived by the majority-conservative state Supreme Court last month. It’ll probably pass, thereby watering down the issue’s potency in a crucial swing state with an access measure on the ballot.

“Where’s SLEEPY JOE? He’s SLEEPING, that’s where!!!” posted fat former President Trump on Wednesday morning, evidently still upset by credible reporting that he’s been falling asleep in court.

Before that the orange curmudgeon posted “Do you think that the Radical Left Lunatics that are causing all of the CHAOS at our Colleges and Universities are doing so in order to take the FOCUS away from our Southern Border, where millions of people, many from prisons and mental institutions, are pouring into our Country? Just askin’…???” almost as if he was annoyed with himself and the right wing media ecosystem he leads for shifting their own “FOCUS” on the campus protest shitshows that we’ll continue to maintain are not really actually worth their time or attention.

A “senior GOP official” tells Politico Playbook that House Dems masterfully triggered white nationalist Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene with their statement affirming support for Speaker Mike Johnson in the event of a motion to vacate, triggering the psychopath into posting that she (supposedly) will finally move one she’s had sitting in the hopper since March 27th.

“Fresh bait always finds a fish,” the Republican said. “Jeffries throwing that out there, it’s chum in the water. Everyone knows what he did.” Greene’s team did not respond to that yet, but instead Playbooks has them turning their fire on RNC figurehead Mike Whatley. “The only person destroying Republican unity is Mike Johnson. Republicans need a speaker who will deliver President Trump’s America First agenda when he’s back in the White House. Democrat-endorsed Mike Johnson isn’t it,” said a “person close with Greene” in response to Whatley saying “nothing is more important than party unity and ensuring that we are focused on beating Joe Biden and Democrats in November.”

J6 was no MAGA insurrection

Just more Democrat misdirection

— Zach Henry (@zhenryaz) March 7, 2023

Yeah this is probably all you need to know about the guy, but NBC News reports he’s also tweeted that “Alex Jones is a national treasure” and that the House January 6th Committee investigation was a “witch hunt of patriots” for which “ALL Radical Democrats must face a reckoning!” Henry previously served as “deputy communications director” to Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign. The hire comes after a month in which Bobby Jr himself failed at damage control after a campaign email called the Capitol rioters “activists” who had been “stripped of their constitutional liberties” and another, now former, campaign official told a crowd she’s looking to help re-elect the Orange Allah.

Supposedly mainstream but not-so-secretly pro-MAGA outlet Axios spoke to a number of Congressional Democrats who are worried that a few days of on-campus protests from extremist pro-Palestinians are going to be a problem for them in an election six months from now, with one anonymous House Dem saying “The longer [these clashes with cops and college authorities] continue, and the worse that they get, the worse it’s going to be for the election overall” as they fear the shitshow is “bringing out” the squishy, low-info middle electorate’s “most conservative side.”

“Many people are super frustrated and concerned,” another House Dem said. What’s not made clear in the piece is how or why they expect this to go on all summer and into the fall given that just a few weeks are left in the spring semester and that there wouldn’t be bigger problems among the Dem coalition if the “Bibi” Regime is still bombing and massacring innocent people come September.

“We need to remember that a vote for Trump or sitting out this election or voting third party is a vote for Netanyahu,” said one Dem as if this should not be the messaging every single day anyway.

One Democrat who did go on the record, Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, seemed to hint that, God forbid, the pressure could result in the protestors actually getting what they want, telling Axios that “it would be very helpful” if there were “some sort of” ceasefire “in Gaza right now.”

Disgraced former President Trump’s legal team are preparing what Rolling Stone describes as an “emergency writ of habeas corpus” to keep the fat fuck out of jail should he be found in contempt again after Judge Juan Merchan issued what could be reasonably seen as a final warning Tuesday.

“The sources say Trump’s advisers have told him they believe the stay would be granted before New York authorities would be able to sort out the logistical nightmare of getting Trump into a jail cell when he has an armed Secret Service detail with him at all times. Trump would never have to wear a jumpsuit during the criminal trial, even if he were remanded, at least one lawyer close to the former president has assured him,” Rolling Stone writes, which we copied verbatim to show how apparently serious these fucking assholes are taking the prospect of the orange slob getting locked up.
