New York Governor Kathy Hochul will partner with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to unveil a plan for universal child care for families across the Empire State, beginning with high-need areas in the city and gradually expanding statewide over the next several years, the New York Times reports.

“Since taking office, I’ve put families front and center, fighting to make our state more affordable and laying the groundwork to deliver universal child care,” Hochul said in a statement.

Convicted felon President Trump’s command for Republicans to “be flexible” with the Hyde Amendment when working on their probably-doomed healthcare legislation has fucked things up, one anonymous GOP senator tells Punchbowl News. If Trump “felt strongly enough to prod us in public, why doesn’t he send his advisers to come meet with us and work out a deal? If the White House embraces a deal that’s squishy on Hyde, I have no doubt in the world that he can convince enough of us to vote for it,” the senator said, calling Trump lazy and uninterested in the brass tacks.

Making shit worse is the fact that Dems have teed up the discharge petition vote on a no-string-attached three-year extension of the Obamacare subsidies, putting pressure on the Senate GOP.

Volumes of research conducted over the years into traits commonly held by serial killers showed that individuals who had hurt, tortured, or killed an animal did, indeed, correlate with homicidal tendencies much more closely than their non-animal abusing counterparts. More importantly, a history of abusing animals was a significant predictor of future depraved indifference to human life.

So yeah, that this sick fucking freak bragged about murdering a puppy tracks with how she said a single mom of three was a domestic terrorist trained by some shadowy organization to turn her Honda SUV into a deadly weapon against ICE agents, thereby justifying her summary execution.

That being said, she wouldn’t have flown to Minneapolis to cosplay if she didn’t think Wednesday’s savagery might not be an issue for the murderous regime she represents, so some part of her botox-addled brain perceives the political liability facing her. The other parts of that desiccated clod chose to make it worse when it was easy to just thread the needle and say “The agent deserves his day in court and we will be conducting a thorough investigation, which I will not comment on further at this point. However he has been taken off duty and in the interest of taking the temperature down we will be scaling back our operations and limiting our targets to alien offenders suspected of violent felonies” or similar. Even if that was just a straight up lie it would have had a cooling effect.

The discharge motion on HR 780 on Wednesday passed the house with nine Republicans joining 212 Dems to extend Obamacare subsidies for another three years, putting the Senate GOP in a jam.

Minnesota woman Donna Ganger tells the Star-Tribune her daughter, 37 year-old Renee Nicole Good, was the driver of the Honda Pilot fatally shot in the face three or four times by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being,” Ganger said, adding that her daughter was not known to her to have been involved in any activist groups or was even particularly political.

Good leaves behind a son of about four or five years old, now orphaned as the boy’s father, Tim Macklin Jr, died in 2023 at the age of 36. “There’s nobody else in his life,” Tim Macklin Sr told the Star-Tribune after being informed. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come and get my grandchild.”

Trump Regime officials on Wednesday told members of Congress that they plan to put the money raised from seizure of Venezuelan oil into bank accounts outside the US Treasury, PBS’s Lisa Desjardins reports, adding that one told her it sounded like the money was going “off-shore.”

“I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday after one of his stormtroopers murdered a woman.

Yeah, “hard to believe he is alive.” Motherfucker could’ve been lynched right then and there.

Should you be able to make it through that part of the video without hurling your laptop against then you’ll hear a completely different MAGA blonde invoking Laken Riley as a victim of an illegal alien.

Shares of General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman each fell about 2 percent Wednesday after Demented Don banned by decree buybacks and dividends, CNBC reports.

“All United State Defense Contractors, and the Defense Industry as a whole, BEWARE: While we make the best Military Equipment in the World (No other Country is even close!), Defense Contractors are currently issuing massive Dividends to their Shareholders and massive Stock Buybacks, at the expense and detriment of investing in Plants and Equipment. This situation will no longer be allowed or tolerated! Also, Executive Pay Packages in the Defense Industry are exorbitant and unjustifiable” and blah blah blah, the fat communist wrote on his lame Twitter clone.

Staring down the second wave of civil unrest following a brutal murder by racist law enforcement caught on camera in Minneapolis during his term, Mayor Jacob Frey minced no words Wednesday, telling ICE to “get the fuck out” of the city during a press conference. Fox News broadcast it live.

Holy shit this is atrocious. The son of a bitch reportedly shot this woman – not even an immigrant, but a protestor – four times in the face and she hadn’t even come close to hitting him.

“For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans. It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it. People live in homes, not corporations. I will discuss this topic, including further Housing and Affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday.

Lol at “Davos in two weeks.” Great place to tell the American people he’s looking out for their housing needs AND he probably just jinxed it right there with the “two weeks” timeframe.

Furious locals began lobbing snowballs at ICE agents after an alleged “vehicle ramming attack” ended in shots fired on Wednesday, NBC News reports citing a scattering of different sources.

“Many of you have likely heard by now that Congressman Jim Baird’s vehicle was struck last night while he was driving back to Washington to continue his work for Hoosiers. My mom was with him at the time. I’m grateful to share that they are both safe, stable, and in good spirits. Anyone who knows my dad knows his determination runs deep, and he’s already joking about getting back to the House floor to vote, especially with margins this tight. The outpouring of support and prayers has meant more to me and my family than I can put into words. Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Jim Baird remains fully committed to serving his constituents, and that commitment has not changed,” writes Beau Baird, son of the Indiana Congressman on Facebook.

“Update: Several people have asked whether this was politically motivated. At this time, there is no information to suggest that, and we sincerely hope that is not the case. Because this was a hit-and-run, law enforcement is actively investigating and trying to find the vehicle that struck them. Our focus right now is on healing and recovery, and we appreciate the work of law enforcement as they do what they do best,” Beau later added to the post, which means THEY got to him to cover this up!

THEY‘re always finding new was to compromise patriots to hide the- Okay, dropping the act because need to note Jesus freaking Christ this dude actually had to write that in a fucking Facebook post, lol. After 10, 20, or however many replies went right there that this car accident was an attempt to flip the House to Dems, Beau decided he needed to address the MAGA batshittery.

President Trump turned up the heat on Norway’s leadership on Wednesday, posting on his Truth Social platform that Oslo “foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize.”

“Remember, for all of those big NATO fans, they were at 2 percent GDP, and most weren’t paying their bills, UNTIL I CAME ALONG. The USA was, foolishly, paying for them! I, respectfully, got them to 5 percent GDP, AND THEY PAY, immediately. Everyone said that couldn’t be done, but it could, because, beyond all else, they are all my friends. Without my involvement, Russia would have ALL OF UKRAINE right now. Remember, also, I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize. But that doesn’t matter! What does matter is that I saved Millions of Lives. RUSSIA AND CHINA HAVE ZERO FEAR OF NATO WITHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AND I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEED THEM.”

“EVERYONE IS LUCKY THAT I REBUILT OUR MILITARY IN MY FIRST TERM, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO. We will always be there for NATO, even if they won’t be there for us. The only Nation that China and Russia fear and respect is the DJT REBUILT USA. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” wrote Trump in his signature characteristically unconventional and bombastic communication style.

That’s America’s president for you, always shaking things up whether it comes to domestic politics or international diplomacy. The media wonders when we’ll ever have another like him again.

House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer’s committee will on Wednesday finally get to totally pwn the Walztards and their Somalian buddies in a “blockbuster” hearing.

Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday pleaded for calm after an extremist ultra-Orthodox teenager outraged the imminent end to the exemption from military service the community has long enjoyed was hit by a bus during a protest in Jerusalem, the AP reports.

“I call for restraint to prevent the mood from becoming further inflamed so that, heaven forbid, we do not have additional tragedies,” Netanyahu said after 14 year-old yeshiva student Yosef Eisenthal was tragically killed by the massive bus while he and his compatriots were throwing rocks and eggs at cops in the street. The driver, unnamed, said he was under attack too and tried to escape the scene when he dragged Eisenthal under the vehicle. Note that by all known facts that this was an internecine fight and no Palestinians or Iranians were involved. Netanyahu relies on these maniacs who refuse to serve in the IDF as part of his coalition and he’s screwed if they walk out on him.

“Political strategists say Democrats running in competitive races in this year’s midterm elections for the House and Senate should steer clear of making President Trump the centerpiece of their campaigns. While Trump’s approval ratings are low and Americans have been frustrated by his job performance in the first year of his second term, the strategists say the key to winning is to home in on economic issues – particularly affordability,” says The Hill in the lede to their Wednesday morning article headlined “Democrats advised not to center midterm campaigns on attacking Trump” and no, this story isn’t predicated on any sort of new internal memo or slide presentation the Hill obtained.

Their reporter Amie Parnes appears to have simply started with the conclusion that Dems should not make Trump’s corruption and malevolence a campaign theme and then got four strategists to help her work backward by supplying quotes that sort of kind of support her hypothesis, thus making the verb “advised” in the headline an entirely self-generated “consensus framing” to drive the plot (And yeah, THIS National Zero headline kind of oversold the strategic effort involved here. Guilty).

“The core focus of any candidate running in 2026 has to be focused on the reality that these affordability concerns, even one year later, still exist. The results of the 2025 races in select states underscored just how prominent those concerns are with swing voters right now,” said either GOP strategist Kevin Madden or ChatGPT when asked to generate a quote and then Madden tersely replied with a “👍🏻” when Parnes emailed to ask if the anodyne quote could be attributed to him.

Russian-flagged oil tanker “Bella-1,” a sanctioned vessel that has been under pursuit for weeks, was boarded and seized by US Coast Guard and Nevy personnel on Wednesday, Reuters reports.

The successful interdiction operation, staged in the waters off of Iceland, happened in the presence of at least one Russian submarine and other vessels in Vlad’s navy that had been escorting the ship and how the hell this did not turn into an immediate shooting war right then and there is unknown.
