House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan’s working on a power counter as he grapples under the robes of dominating jurists who could pin him down and leave the administration helpless to the ravages of injunctions thrusting deep into their inner workings: The judicial overreach-around, a reversal with an extremely tight grip on the tip of the – something something need more graphic homoerotic allusions to courts and wrestling to fill out the rest of this introduction.

On deck as witnesses are slimy amphibian Newt Gingrich, Heritage foundation Nazi dickhead Paul Larkin, and “Cindy Romero, Victim of criminal activity perpetrated by terrorist organization Tren de Aragua in Aurora, Colorado.” It’s not clear why there isn’t a minority witness.

In other live feeds here’s the House GOP leadership press conference:

And in the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s moronic “Censorship-Industrial Complex” hearing, Ranking Dem Sydney Kalmacher-Dove’s already called complete fucking douchebag witness Matt Taibbi a “serial sexual harasser” in her opening statement, lol:

This is a mess of tweets about a worse mess in the real world: Earlier on Tuesday National Zero very perfunctorily picked up a Politico article by their courts beat guy Kyle Cheney, citing a Monday filing in which ICE admitted that they sent the wrong guy to the CECOT dungeon in El Salvador and can’t get him back since he’s outside of their jurisdiction now. The ICE official literally wrote that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia had been sent there in “error,” based on a likely false accusation that he was a member of MS-13, something that in 2019, during the first Trump Administration, an immigration judge had considered and then “granted withholding of removal to El Salvador pursuant to 8 USC § 1231(b)(3)(A). This grant of protection prohibited his removal to El Salvador.”

Writing Tuesday that he “didn’t want to indulge in the White House’s fantasy of raising rates on top earners. But whatever. I will. So we can all stop talking about this,” Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman went and asked House Majority Whip Tom Emmer about the scattered reports that some in the Trump Administration are pushing for the tax plan to let the top earner rate expire and slip from 37 percent back to 39.6 percent as it had been prior to the 2017 Trump tax cut bill.

“Emmer tilted his head back and laughed very loudly,” Sherman writes, transcribing the Minnesotan’s response as “Hahahahahha, no.” Mike Johnson was more staid if just as cartoonishly villainous about it, saying “It’s not something that’s been discussed. I’m never for increasing taxes, ever.”

“The audio is worth listening to. Especially on Emmer’s laugh,” Sherman writes.

In an article headlined “The Ghost of Jimmy Carter Comes Back to Haunt America: China Blocks Panama Canal Sale to Blackrock — Setting Up Major Confrontation with President Trump,” the Gateway Pundit reports – and lol had to source them because of the “Major Confrontation with President Trump” part – that the Chinese communist regime have blocked the sale of $23 billion in port facilities in and around the Panama Canal – among 43 other major seaports worldwide – from Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings to a US consortium led principally by BlackRock.

Last month the fat fuck had declared victory over the commies at the canal in his stupid joint address Congress, saying “to further enhance our national security, our administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we’ve already started doing it. Just today, a large American company announced they are buying both ports around the Panama Canal, and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal, and a couple of other canals,” but like with a lot of other things Trump, he had burst it out prematurely as the Xi Regime have sicced their regulators on the deal.

“This sets up a major confrontation with President Trump,” Jim Hoft writes in his article without elaborating on how Donald is going to defeat Xi in this high-risk board game of global supremacy.

Or he saw pics of his grandchildren playing soccer on Facebook rather than being there in person because his kids won’t let him anywhere near them. Either way he got himself fired up and pissed off before this bit on Fox and Friends in which he seethed angrily over that judge blocking the revocation of temporary protected status for 430,000 Venezuelan refugees. It’s not clear why the Fox News social media staffer in charge of making these clips included the part where Homan asserted that the “temporary” part of TPS is contingent, that “once the conditions of that country they’re from, once the conditions change, then people should be removed from the” US, or whether after the cutoff he went on to claim Venezuela is in much better shape than it was three years ago, but it either way it most certainly is not – probably considerably worse after Maduro stole that election – and it’s pretty cunty to make THAT the argument for removing the refugees.

Writing he wants to “tread carefully on this” Talking Points Memo founder Josh Marshall reports he’s heard from the parents of two disabled adults who receive Social Security insurance payments for support who say the online portal on Monday abruptly changed to say “This beneficiary is currently not receiving payments” under the “Benefits and Payments” page. They’re not 100 percent sure yet whether the payments have actually been cut off since one of the adults lives in a care home that’s the direct recipient of the benefit disbursement, the other family says the parents are the recipients and sometimes the payout can come slightly later than usual, so it could still arrive on Tuesday.

“Each family contacted me independently and each is from a different part of the country – one in the Midwest, another in the Northeast. Each family is part of a loose local network of families or support group of families with disabled adult children. And in each case multiple families in each support network started seeing the same thing today,” Marshall writes, remarking that it’s clear this isn’t an isolated thing, however a few of the families seeing the “This beneficiary is currently not receiving payments” still got the direct deposits anyway for some completely opaque reason.

Marshall also notes that so far what he’s seen has been confined to Social Security Insurance (SSI) but not Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and, since many of the families in his sources’ networks receive both, it appears that it’s only the former that’s been disrupted. “Of course, we’re dealing with small sample sizes. So it’s possible SSDI might be affected too,” he continues, but also adding that both of the families he’s in contact with are Social Security retirement beneficiaries and they’ve seen no interruption to those sacred cow entitlement payments this month at least.

A Republican Congressman or Congresswoman tells Politico that an “April 1st massacre” for the party in Tuesday’s elections – specials in Florida 1st and 6th Districts and the state Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin determining the bench’s majority – would be “a beautiful thing,” because, per Politico, it “would rouse congressional Republicans to the damage” Ketamine Brain “is doing and hand political capital to the lawmakers facing the most difficult races next year,” lol.

Can’t decide what part of that is funnier: That they’re this freaked out about Musk or that they’re claiming THIS is the moment and reason that they’d finally grow some balls and stand up to the Orange God Emperor after nearly a decade of failing to take him on for worse shit. The anonymous House member claims there’s 26 others considered vulnerable next year who will “decide how they want to be part of the team going forward,” and that are hyper-focused on Musk because “the shit he puts up on the internet” about government spending or DOGE savings “is wrong.”

“Elon’s work needs to wrap up, and he needs to exit stage left,” another member told Politico, whose reporter Jon Martin writes “Naturally, in a reminder of the power Musk wields because of his money and ownership of X, neither Republican wanted to be identified by name… With fear of defeat, however, can come courage. Or at least a willingness to tell Speaker Mike Johnson or Trump himself in private that something must be done on Musk.” Ughhhhhhhhhhh, Jesus Christ, lol.

I've never shied away from speaking out about fraudulent elections–while it hasn't always been easy, difficult times require strong people. Tina Peters is a strong woman–who's been punished because of it.

We can't allow this Gold Star Mom to die behind bars for doing her job… https://t.co/3Vppgm3PJt

Continued Lake after the cutoff in her attempt to evoke sympathy for a fellow maniac: “We can’t allow this Gold Star Mom to die behind bars for doing her job and exposing election fraud. Some of us were brave enough to talk about the most important issue of our time when many others would not. Tina was prosecuted for exposing that fraud. Please demand Tina’s release from prison now.”

“Since President Trump’s inauguration, we have seen a dangerous trend of district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions that disrupt the implementation of federal policies. These sweeping rulings, often handed down by a single judge, threaten the constitutional balance of power by overriding the popular will of the American people as embodied in Congress and the President.”

“The Committee on the Judiciary has developed legislative reforms within our jurisdiction to address this misuse of judicial authority and to restore balance between the branches of the federal government. The Committee on Appropriations is likewise charged with an important Constitutional check: Congress’s power of the purse. As you develop appropriations for the federal judiciary, we respectfully urge you to consider appropriate language that would enhance judicial restraint and reaffirm democratic principles,” writes spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan in a letter to House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole and Financial Services/General Government Subcommittee Chair Dave Joyce, angling to get a non-spending matter tucked into the spending bill.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime admitted in a Monday court filing they had sent a guy with a legal, legitimate order against deportation to El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s dungeon and now lack jurisdiction to get him back, Politico reports on a first from those fucks.

“My wife and I attended a show at The Sharon L Morse Performing Arts Center that was advertised as a tribute to Dolly Parton, I was very disappointed. I think a better description of the show would have been ‘a drag queen show with some of Dolly Parton’s songs in the background.’ We walked out after about 15 minutes as well as about one-third of the audience,” writes Villager Jack Hooven to the editors of Villages-News.com, evidently not content let the early exit alone show his displeasure.

The page for the show at “The Sharon” center’s website literally says “Meet Tora Himan, the dazzling, larger-than-life, and fabulously curvy camp queen! Known for being the ultimate life-of-the-party, Tora is your go-to glam queen with a penchant for pumpkin spice, a love affair with glitter, and an unabashed embrace of her basic bitch persona that you just can’t help but adore. Tora’s journey began in the world of musical theatre, where, despite never landing the coveted boy roles, she gracefully transitioned into becoming the leading lady herself – ultimately blossoming into a full-time drag queen extraordinaire,” emphasis added for the first of new fewer than four occurrences of the string “drag” in a 261-word billing, which Señor Hooven obviously didn’t bother to read.

Still, he might as well be complaining that a Phish tribute band would be some dirty hippies in hemp hoodies… How many actual women do fucking Dolly Parton tributes these days? Lol.

A federal judge on Monday ordered a halt to convicted felon President Trump’s dickhead move revoking temporary protected status for 350,000 Venezuelan refugees in the United States.

Jason Galanis, the shitbag scam artist former Hunter Biden pal who was literally in prison when he testified at one of James Comer’s moronic hearings last year, is now a free man and no longer owes $162 million in restitution for his crimes ripping off Indian reservations, all thanks to convicted felon President Trump’s powers of commutation The New York Times’s Ken Vogel reports.

“The Iran-backed Houthi Terrorists have been decimated by the relentless strikes over the past two weeks. Many of their Fighters and Leaders are no longer with us. We hit them every day and night, Harder and harder. Their capabilities that threaten Shipping and the Region are rapidly being destroyed. Our attacks will continue until they are no longer a threat to Freedom of Navigation. The choice for the Houthis is clear: Stop shooting at US ships, and we will stop shooting at you.”

“Otherwise, we have only just begun, and the real pain is yet to come, for both the Houthis and their sponsors in Iran,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, after years of claiming this kind of shit wouldn’t be happening if he hadn’t lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden.

Last year the fat fuck told incel podcaster Tim Pool that he doesn’t “want to see wars. I was in no wars other than we finished a war with ISIS, and we completed it, 100 percent complete. But I don’t want to see wars. I think it’s so horrible, so unnecessary, so costly in terms of lives and money in that order, and destroying these countries… It’s crazy. You can solve problems over a telephone. Instead, they start dropping bombs. I see, recently, they’re dropping bombs all over Yemen. You don’t have to do that. You can talk in such a way where they respect you and they listen to you.”

They don’t respect him and don’t want to talk to him. They don’t give a shit what he thinks.

“Charge her with domestic terrorism. Assault with a deadly weapon. Vandalism. And human rights violations. Don’t mess around” – The current top comment on the Breitbart article “Police: Florida Trump Hater Vandalized Tesla with ‘Large Wad’ of Gum,” posted Monday morning.

“A Florida woman has been arrested and charged with felony vandalism after allegedly attacking a Tesla with a ‘large wad’ of chewing gum that caused nearly $3,000 in damage to the electric vehicle built by Elon Musk. The disgusting attack was captured by the EV’s built-in cameras,” says the lede to the article about the arrest of 45 year-old Yamaris Marrero, who chewed the “deadly weapon.”

Yeah, it’s um, hard to tell here if this asshole is serious or is going extra with intentional self-parody after weeks of outrage exhaustion over the “domestic terrorism” that Attorney General Pam Bondi is serious about. Plus it was actually vandalism. And they seem to believe it’s a “human rights violation,” since based god Elon Musk has been going hard with the victimhood complex. But it’s the “assault with a deadly weapon” part that pushes this into some sort of knowing absurdity. Maybe.

Or maybe he’s serious. Most if not all of the upvoters are serious too. Breitbart’s full of assholes.

In his first ever extensive interview after his piece of shit client pleaded guilty to slaughtering 23 people at a Walmart on August 5, 2019, Texas MAGA terrorist Patrick Crusius’s defense attorney Joe Spencer tells El Paso Matters that Crusius “thought he had to stop the invasion because that’s what his president was telling him, which is just not rational” and that Crusius believed that “if he doesn’t do it, then nobody’s going to do it. He’s got to start” a race war against Latinos.

Having secured a deal to avoid the death penalty, Crusius is expected to finally plead guilty to the state-level charges on April 21st, nearly six years after the massacre that wounded 22 others on top of the murdered victims. The Army washout incel in 2023 pleaded guilty to 90 federal hate crime and weapons charges for which he was handed the same number of life sentences.

Even though it was obvious from the denials in asshole’s manifesto that Crusius believed he was acting on Trump’s command – something Donald and his minions also denied – El Paso Matters points out that this is the first confirmation from the defense team that yeah, he did actually believe that. It was a May 2019 MAGA rally in Panama City, Florida at which Trump said “I mean, you have 15,000 people marching up and you have hundreds and hundreds of people and you have two or three border security people that are brave and great,” Trump said, then falsely claiming that Border Patrol isn’t allowed to use weapons. “But how do you stop these people?” Trump said. One of Trump’s fans then shouted “Shoot them,” to which Donald laughed and smiled, saying “That’s only in the (Florida) Panhandle you can get away with that statement… Only in the Panhandle.”

Convicted felon President Trump’s job approval rating on the economy is 18 percent underwater at 40 percent approve to 58 percent approve, per the most recent national AP-NORC survey.

“The Meridian Police Department is investigating an incident that occurred around 1:00 pm Saturday at the Tesla dealership on Franklin Road. The preliminary investigation determined that 70 year-old Christopher Talbot of Meridian made an obscene gesture toward a 49 year-old victim before hitting him with his car. Reports indicate the victim had been driving a truck with pro-Trump flags and had just parked and exited his vehicle when Talbot struck him with his car. The victim drove himself to a nearby hospital, where he was treated and released for non-life-threatening injuries,” says a Sunday press release from the Meridian, Idaho Police Department via CBS Boise affiliate KBOI.

“The victim was able to record Talbot’s license plate, leading officers to his home in Meridian. At the time of the incident, a protest was taking place at the Tesla dealership, with approximately 30 protesters and an estimated 200 counter-protesters in attendance. The victim was identified as a counter-protester at the event. Talbot was arrested without and booked into the Ada County Jail on one count of Aggravated Battery. The Meridian Police Department reminds people to respect everyone’s right to protest and express their 1st Amendment Rights without resorting to violence.”

What a true patriot, putting life and limb on the line to defend the car dealership of a brand founded by a billionaire who never has and almost certainly never will visit Meridian, Idaho, but maybe the victim can at least find an address to send his hospital bill for defending Tesla. Might work if he writes “Wounds suffered fighting for the future of the entire human race” on invoice line.

In related news, at least 17 Teslas were burned at dealership in Rome, Italy, while the patriots were asleep or just didn’t care enough to stand vigil outside all night, Roma Today reports.
