Brainwormed idiot Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr last summer ordered the Centers for Disease Control to study the potential adverse health effects of offshore wind turbines, Reuters reports on the Trump Regime’s latest attempt to put an imprimatur of government authority on the deranged obsessions of their gravely mentally ill liege.

It’s not like Bobby’s ever said anything about wind turbines. In fact it’s easy to imagine him rolling his eyes and telling top CDC officials “Just look busy on the offshore wind turbines thing. Whatever we’ve gotta do to make the Old Man think we’re going to validate his ridiculous theories while we conduct the real science of proving that fluoride in toothpaste is making children turn trans.”

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime is ordering military officials involved with ongoing operations in/around Venezuela and the greater Latin American region to sign non-disclosure agreements, Reuters’ Phil Stewart reports on this most Trumpian of stupid bullshit gestures.

First off, military officers involved in these kinds of operations have all already signed what’s called a SF-312 Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement, so it’s redundant. If these new NDAs are instead trying to impose some kind of civil penalty for breaking it – and what else is supposed to be the enforcing mechanism – well then it’s also meaningless because courts have repeatedly ruled that government personnel cannot be held to a personal NDA like they’re Google employees.

So yeah it sure sounds like the fat bastard is signaling that he’s going to be ordering troops to commit war crimes and thinks that the same kind of document he gets pornstars to sign after he effs them for two minutes max is going to deter any leaks of extralegal operations in Latin America.

Christ, these assclowns. How is it still a “ceasefire” when there’s actual fire? Nobody with a functioning brain thought this was ever going to last and now the fanboys are going to be pissed at “Bibi” for ruining their Orange God Emperor’s historic achievement. A smarter version of this cult would’ve kept the goalposts firmly planted on the release of the 20 remaining living Israeli hostages who’d been abducted by Hamas during the October 7th, 2023 attack. Trump suckered Hamas into giving up that last real piece of leverage and it will be a very, very long time before they’ll have that many Israeli hostages again. Probably never, really. That was a big deal and it won’t be undone, so maybe the MAGA propaganda-industrial complex should’ve hyped that real, historically-significant achievement over brokering a “permanent” ceasefire that didn’t even last into the next month.

No fewer than 25 states on Tuesday – Kentucky and Kansas included under Dem governors Andy Beshear and Laura Kelly, respectively – signed onto a pretty solid case filed in a Massachusetts federal court against convicted felon President Trump’s regime’s stated plan to simply cut off the disbursement of SNAP benefits to recipients nationwide during the shutdown to create political pressure on Democrats, arguing that the money’s already been appropriated, the Reich is statutorily bound to disburse it, and that the USDA has $6 billion in reserve that can be applied to the program.

In the complaint the Dems point out that the USDA website has a banner that says “Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance” which, in addition to being sub-Fox News-level horseshit, directly contradicts the official memos that claimed they actually do have money lying around, but cited some made-up legal justification for not sending it out to SNAP cards on Saturday.

White nationalist Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday spoke up during the House GOP’s conference call on Tuesday and, per Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman, said “she is tired of people listening to the White House political staff,” adding that she wants Senate Majority Leader John Thune to finally nuke the filibuster for good and get the government reopened already.

Speaker Mike Johnson then expressed displeasure with the comment, as well as Greene’s recent shitposting about him and the party’s shutdown strategy. “How does that help us, Marjorie?”

Sources in Axios‘s conservative donor class demo tell the “Be Smart” outlet that the MAGA establishment has already decided who’s to blame for the impotent nothing burger that was the party’s campaign against California Dems’ all-but-certain to pass Proposition 50, the ballot measure allowing the state legislature to temporarily override the independent redistricting commission and kill as many as five Republican-held US House seats to offset Texas’s gerrymandering.

In one of their bullet points Axios writes that “some senior Trump political advisers and party strategists say a top operative of a pro-Trump group undermined their efforts to defeat a plan that could help Democrats gain five congressional seats,” before identifying the scapegoat as Ashley Hayek, president of MAGA slush fund America First Works. Last month Hayek had gathered a few dozen California GOP donors at a hotel in DC to pitch them on writing checks to support various MAGA propaganda campaigns. When one brought up Prop 50, Hayek cited public polling and gave an honest assessment, saying “There’s probably going to be redistricting in California,” prompting the plutocrats to deem it a lost cause and to instead look forward to the midterms.

Why exactly a high-level operator in a political power ecosystem that eats, sleeps, and breathes grift would’ve fucked up and momentarily spoke with such candor isn’t clear but the damage was unmistakeable – and worsened by the would-be donors’ impression that it’d been a White House-sanctioned event. “Because AFW has the imprimatur of White House support, Trump advisers worried donors would think they were bailing on California and close their wallets,” Axios writes. It may’ve been as simple as Hayek just wanting to preserve her relationships with these donors and not sell them a bill of goods on a doomed effort, but she also could’ve just told the puppetmasters that AFW wasn’t doing any anti-Prop 50 work and she’d connect them with people who were.

With the fall of a fan from the upper concourse seating of the Penguins’ home PPG Paints Arena early in the first period of the squad’s 6-3 win over the St Louis Blues on Monday night, Pittsburgh’s pro sports teams completed an impressive record of gravity-related incidents at their venues in 2025. Per the Associated Press, an unidentified male Penguins fan was hospitalized in critical condition after plummeting about 20 feet from the upper tier onto the mezzanine, possibly whilst cheering forward Anthony Mantha’s goal that put the home team up 2 – 0 over the Blues.

The fall came just two days after a man performing work on the scoreboard at the Steelers’ Acrisure Stadium fell 50 feet from his perch onto a lower catwalk. The man, also unidentified, was also hospitalized in critical condition after the Saturday night mishap. That awful incident came months after 20 year-old Kavan Markwood drunkenly fell over the railing and onto the field at PNC Park celebrating a two-run double during the 7th in the Pirates’ 4-3 May 1 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Markwood has since recovered from his injuries and hopefully the other two guys will as well.

Convicted felon President Trump’s lawyers are working to get the first two words of this lede erased for good and are appealing to New York State courts to overturn last year’s 34 count guilty verdict in the Stormy Daniels payoff/2016 election interference case, Politico reports.

…Bushart is clearly one of the unhinged voices on the Internet who trolls and inflames others. At his arrest, even Bushart admitted that he is a bit of “an a**hole,” but insisted that he is not a criminal. He appears correct on both counts.

Right wing legal academic and TheHill.com columnist Jonathan Turley on Tuesday figured it was time to replenish his credibility tank as he’d been neglecting it for quite some time with nonsense about how NPR is a racket for disclosing its sponsors and that it was “disturbing” that one of former CIA Director John Brennan’s top aides once said he’s “not a Trump fan.” Seeing the legitimately disturbing story about how a retired Tennessee cop has been in jail for over a month on a charge of Threats of Mass Violence on School Property – because he posted a verbatim Trump quote “We have to get over it” in a Facebook comment under a planned vigil for Charlie Kirk – Turley picked the low-hanging fruit of a “principled free speech argument” and distilled it to fuel his credibility tank.

It’s not clear when the half-gallon of low-quality regular unleaded credibility will be squandered but the how is probably as simple as him going on Fox News and arguing the founders intended for convicted felon President Trump to loot $230 million from the Department of Justice.

A privately-owned Ilyushin Il-76 cargo plane known to have previously transported weapons for Russian military and Wagner Group mercenary operations in Africa landed in Caracas over the weekend, DefenseNews reports while noting the probably-not-coincidental timing given convicted felon President Trump’s increasing threats of action against Putin-allied dictator Nicolas Maduro’s regime. The plane, which took off from Moscow on Friday, landed in Venezuela’s capital after two days of stops in Armenia, Algeria, Morocco, Senegal, and Mauritania before crossing the Atlantic.

Whether these stops had been pickups, deliveries, or both – as well as what it was carrying – is unknown. DefenseNews however notes that the route was definitely one that would have avoided NATO/NATO-allied airspace or possible customs/cargo inspections in not-as-corrupt countries.

Also not in question is that the plane’s owner/operator, Aviacon Zitotrans, is under sanctions by the United States, Canada, and Ukraine for its ties to the Russian military and the Wagner Group.

“As Orkin’s annual Top 50 Rattiest Cities List enters its second decade, a new city is claiming the top spot for the first time in the list’s history. Chicago’s decade-long reign at No 1 is over, with Los Angeles knocking the Windy City off its long-held perch. In true Hollywood fashion, Los Angeles has taken center stage. With year-round warm weather, a booming culinary scene and dense neighborhoods that offer ample access to food and shelter, the City of Angels checks every box for rodent survival. From bustling commercial corridors to hidden alleyways, Los Angeles’ signature blend of glam and grit creates a perfect storm for rodent activity,” says a new press release from Orkin pest control that sounds almost like a real estate pitch brochure for rats if they could read.

“The shake-up in rankings signals a shift in rodent activity, likely influenced by weather patterns, urban infrastructure and human behavior. While Chicago has held the top spot since the list’s inception, this year’s data shows other major cities are seeing increased pressure, particularly as more moderate climates improve rodent survival rates and urban sprawl opens new pathways for infestations,” the triumphal story of feral rodent gentrification in the City of Angels continued.

Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said he was consulting with his war machine to respond after Hamas handed over the remains of a hostage whose body “Bibi” claims was already recovered two years ago, Reuters reports on the coming resumption of violence in Gaza.

“Today in Virginia, we filed a landmark, powerful, and necessary $150,000,000 defamation lawsuit on behalf of Paul J Ingrassia against Defendants Politico and Daniel Lippman. Our suit arises out of the following article: Daniel Lippman, Key Trump nominee accused of sexual harassment, POLITICO (Oct 9, 2025), https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/09/ingrassia-trump-harassment-dhs-00596545. Paul has never sexually harassed anyone-full stop. This is a historic first step on Paul’s road to complete vindication. Although the last two weeks have been extraordinarily difficult for Paul and his family, he has displayed incredible composure under fire, even as he has faced challenges including the derailment of his nomination and death threats. We look forward to sharing more details very soon. I want to thank the other incredible members of Paul’s legal team for their tireless efforts,” says a statement from the Nazi streak guy’s lawyer Ed Paltzik.

Oooooooooohhhhh man this is gonna be a good one. Politico absolutely should NOT try to get it tossed before discovery. They have to take it at least that far if not before a jury.

A 27 year-old Vermont man is lucky to be alive after flipping his pickup truck onto the railroad tracks off of State Route 7 in Pownal early Friday – but also kind of unlucky in a way because it happened outside of a very specific window of time that would’ve made him a legend for all of mankind.

Local paper the Bennington Banner reports that Joshua Rand crawled out of the vehicle after it came to a halt on the tracks running parallel to the road in the area, sustaining only minor injuries in the accident. A state police press release fills in the rest: “A southbound train was unable to be contacted by the railroad dispatch. The train failed to stop in time and collided with the unoccupied vehicle. No one was injured as a result of this crash.” So the timing worked out for Joshua.

What would’ve worked so much better is if he had flipped his truck WHILE the train was passing and it landed in an empty open-top car. Seriously how fucking awesome would that have been? Yeah it would be kind of awkward to call 911 and explain what happened. Worse would be if he couldn’t get through and then had to wait until the train stopped God knows where it was headed. Could’ve been in Massachusetts or Connecticut. Still would’ve been worth it just for the story he could tell.

Definitely better than landing on the tracks with the train 200 ft away. That would’ve sucked.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job. https://t.co/N4vCl3lJx0

Yes, that’s a bit in media res, so a little background: Riley Gaines is a former University of Kentucky swimmer, a twelve-time NCAA All-American athlete who, in the final event of her collegiate career, competed against trans University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200-yard freestyle.

Now, since the MAGA media lies by omission, they make it sound like Gaines was cheated out of the national championship because of Thomas’s superior strength and speed, when the reality is that they actually tied for fifth place. Even then Gaines said “I am in full support of [Thomas’s] and full support of her transition and her swimming career…because there’s no doubt that she works hard too, but she’s just abiding by the rules that the NCAA put in place, and that’s the issue.”

Sources tell CNN’s Annie Grayer that a coalition of Dem state attorneys general are planning to file a lawsuit on Tuesday to keep SNAP money flowing to recipients after the Trump Regime said they’re going to sit back and let poor families starve after current funding runs out on Saturday.

Pretty smart politics. The Dem AGs aren’t the Dems in Congress. All the messaging from both the Regime and the Congressional GOP is “THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO FORCE POOR PEOPLE TO STARVE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN!!!111!!” Now Trump’s DOJ will have to stand in front of a judge and explain why they won’t agree to just fund SNAP, every word of that horseshit defense packaged up neatly, attributable to “The Trump Administration” for the D talking points. And, who knows, they might actually get a win with an order to unfuck SNAP.
