A “person close to” Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tells NOTUS that last Thursday, when his shitty country musician Republican state Senator wife announced she filed for divorce from her long-unfaithful husband, was Pax’s second best day of small-donor fundraising since he launched his primary challenge against “RINO” incumbent Senator John Cornhole Cornyn.

NOTUS did not obtain or print the actual amount but does anyone seriously disbelieve it? Pax’s impeachment trial went the same way with the whole MAGA movement going freaking balls-to-the-wall harassing the shit out of Republican state senators to vote against convicting him. Cornyn had a $3.9 million second quarter to Pax’s $2.9 million, but that only means something when it’s a game of inches. It’s a game of yards – bordering on quarter miles – with Pax’s lead in polling right now.

The only thing that could bump from top billing stupid Mike Waltz’s post-👊🇺🇸🔥 hearing to the UN post miserable hag Elise Stefanik got bumped from is House GOP leadership facing media after their members bumping off a Dem effort to compel the release of the Epstein files, but bump it shall.

“The 28 Congressional Districts surveyed include fifteen where the Republican won in 2024 by a margin of 5 percent or less and thirteen won by both the Democrat and President Trump. In aggregate, the Congressional vote was tied and President Trump won these districts by 4 points. It will be these districts that decide control of the House after the midterm election.”

“Currently, among all registered voters the generic Republican is trailing the generic Democrat by three points. Among the 65 percent of voters who rate themselves 10-out-of-10 motivated to vote, an early indication of who could turn out next year, the Republican trails by 7-points,” says a memo by Trump pollster Fabrizio-Ward mostly otherwise devoted to selling a health insurance tax credit.

“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Shiff was a scam artist. And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud. Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020. Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday, working his way toward a new distraction from the Epstein shitshow and increasing inflation that his policies caused.

“The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.3 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis in June, after rising 0.1 percent in May, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 2.7 percent before seasonal adjustment. The index for shelter rose 0.2 percent in June and was the primary factor in the all items monthly increase. The energy index rose 0.9 percent in June as the gasoline index increased 1.0 percent over the month,” says the monthly CPI report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

America deserves the truth about Jeffrey Epstein and the rich powerful elites in his circle.

The line is drawn with anyone who abuses children and vulnerable innocent people.

When George Santos is going to prison for 7 years but Epstein only served 13 months, our justice system…

A review by NBC News finds that at leadst some of the some of the letters and subpoena notices House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer has sent out in connection to his investigation into former President Joe Biden’s Autopen “scandal” have been signed using a digital signature.

Republicans on the House Rules Committee on Monday blocked the attachment a Dem amendment to an unrelated cryptocurrency bill that would have forced the Justice Department to release the everything they have on Jeffrey Epstein, Axios reports on a party quivering before the Orange Tyrant.

Florida MAGA Congressman, suspected secret Muslim and credibly accused domestic abuser and valor thief Cory Mills is being evicted from his luxury DC penthouse apartment for failure to pay $85,009.85 in rent owed to real estate megacorporation Bozzuto, his landlord at the 1331 Maryland Ave SW apartments in DC, indie journo Roger Sollenberger reports on a hell of a mess.

It gets worse on top of being homeless as Mills’s military-themed businesses have been been going to shit, with Sollenberger writing that it’s sinking in massive debt and a lender had recently told investors that the investment fund supporting his company had failed and would be shutting down.

“Cory Mills just called me and claimed he hadn’t paid his rent because his online payment link has been broken………. ?” Sollenberger writes, adding “Again, according to the owner’s ledger, Mills has been late on rent 18 times, skipping some months entirely then backpaying. Mills also refused to answer any of my questions about his business and personal financial disclosures, and said he was calling to ‘mock’ me for reporting his landlord’s eviction claims a DC superior court filing.”

The Texas Newsroom, which describes itself as “a public radio journalism collaboration that includes NPR, KERA in North Texas, Houston Public Media, KUT in Austin, Texas Public Radio in San Antonio and other stations across the state,” wasted $244.64 on a fee paid Gov Low Energy Greg Abbott’s office for a public records request for his emails with ketamine-brained billionaire Elon Musk, a request that was denied because they were deemed confidential under an exception to public records laws known as “common-law privacy” as they consist of “information that is intimate and embarrassing and not of legitimate concern to the public, including financial decisions that do not relate to transactions between an individual and a governmental body,” the Texas Tribune reports.

Yes, “intimate and embarrassing” was the excuse Abbott used to deny the public access to his emails with an unhinged drug addict who bought up his own private town in the state.

Cops in Tempe, Arizona earlier this month delivered a Little Caesar’s pizza order to a woman after arresting the GrubHub driver on unspecified charges, USA Today reports. “Your Grubhub guy got arrested, so still delivered your pizza,” one of the officers said in bodycam video of the delivery.

The pizza “still should be warm,” another added as the woman, initially freaked out, laughed.

From an open letter by “Abandon Harris” headlined “Abandon Harris Issues Ultimatum to Trump-Vance Administration Over Gaza Genocide“: “The Trump-Vance White House inherited the machinery of genocide and chose not to dismantle it. Instead, it has continued it. Since breaking the ceasefire on March 18, Israel has killed over 7,000 Palestinians, including many who were gunned down while desperately seeking aid that was deliberately withheld by an apartheid regime. These atrocities are carried out with American weapons, funded by American tax dollars, and shielded by American political cover. And all of it is happening under your watch, President Donald Trump.”

“Your administration has made no promises, and it does not pretend to care. Like your predecessor, you stand shoulder to shoulder with war criminals, giving Netanyahu impunity as he erases an entire nation. You veto ceasefires, increase arms transfers, and mock the dead. There is no confusion about what is happening. The genocide that began under Joe Biden is now entering its final phase under your presidency and with your full approval. Even many within your own base, including some of your most vocal allies, are horrified by what you have allowed to unfold. We are not Democrats issuing symbolic statements. We are not liberals content with hashtags and empty resolutions. We are the ones who drew the line in 2024. And we are sharpening that line now. To President Donald Trump: you may not fear losing our votes. But we are not here to plead for your empathy. We are here to deliver a message. There will be consequences for your role in the extermination of a people, just as there were for your predecessor. Stop arming the massacre. Stop shielding the killers. Call for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. We are watching. We are organizing.”

A day after CNN reported that convicted felon President Trump had reached out to him to ask him to back off from supporting Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino in his feud with Attorney General Pam Bondi, small-faced MAGA propagandist Charlie Kirk did the best he could at betraying his own audience. “Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein. Honestly, I’m done talking about Epstein for the time being. I’m gonna trust my friends in the administration, I’m gonna trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, ball’s in their hands. I’ve said plenty this last weekend. So if you guys wanna see my commentary on it, that’s fine,” said Kirk.

“But let me just say this again – everyone knows my opinion about the Epstein thing, the messaging fumble. I would love to see the DOJ move to unseal the grand jury testimony. I think that would be a big win. I would love to see that. And I’m gonna trust my friends Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, my friend Pam Bondi. All these guys. I’m gonna — Todd Blanche — I’m gonna trust them to solve it. Ball’s in their court. I think that there was plenty of, let’s say, speeches that were directed towards this topic this last weekend. So we don’t need to spend our valuable time relitigating it,” Kirk continued, credit to Media Matters for the clip and the transcript of a MAGA crusader’s cowardly capitulation.

It’s not clear from CNN’s reporting on possibly former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino whether he actually showed up to work after fucking off last week, as they write “As of Monday morning, no one in leadership at the Justice Department had spoken to Bongino since Wednesday, when he implied that he could no longer continue in his position as long as Bondi was there,” citing “sources familiar.”

Convicted felon President Trump is personally extremely pissed at the former podcaster bro and sources expect him to quit if he hasn’t already, though Jaydee called him, Director K$H Patel and Pam Bondi to try to mediate. Still, per CNN, Bongino’s position has “become basically untenable” and it’s pretty much a matter of when and not if he leaves on acrimonious terms.

A new YouGov national survey – conducted July 9 to 13th of their own volition and not for CBS, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, etc – finds convicted felon President Trump’s approval rating 17 percent underwater at 39 percent approve (21 percent strongly/18 percent somewhat) to 56 percent who say they disapprove (10 percent somewhat/46 percent strongly). Even 16 percent of his own voters disapprove (7 percent somewhat/9 percent strongly), offset by just 6 percent of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 voters who approve (2 percent strongly/4 percent somewhat).

Respondents were asked to rate their approval on a very wide array of different issues, 56 in total, and only on two of which was Trump in the black at net 4 percent on “National Security” and 1 percent on “Border Security.” Then on “Transgender issues” he’s at net 0 percent. The other 53 found Trump deep in the red and, at the very bottom the fat fuck was, on THE actual one issue more than any other reason he clawed his way back into power, 32 percent underwater on Inflation/prices at 31 percent approval to 62 percent disapproval. Even his own shitbag voters he’s having a hard time getting them to lie to themselves as he’s at 67 to 27 percent approval/disapproval on it.

As if Disneyland on a Saturday would not be freaking crowded and the lines already long as hell, Vice President JD Vance made it worse for his fellow Americans on Saturday by bringing his family there, with the Secret Service forcing shutdowns so no one else could go on the rides, the Independent reports, citing complaints that “regular guests were experiencing delays and long lines”

Jaydee also drew protestors who shouted slogans like “No family vacation while we deal with family separation,” outside the Grand Californian Hotel where the Vances stayed on Friday night.

“Fresh controversy is swirling around Chip and Joanna Gaines’ new show titled Back to the Frontier. The show was produced by the Gaines’ Magnolia Network and premiered on HBO Max on July 10. The show features a male homosexual couple and their two sons. The Gaineses espouse to be Christians and have historically been very outspoken about their faith. They attend the Antioch Community Church, which holds to a traditional biblical view of marriage that excludes homosexual unions. The new show clearly contradicts this biblical viewpoint,” writes third place 2016 Georgia state Senate District 24 Republican Primary finisher and commercial real estate broker Joe Edge in a piece printed by the Augusta Press on Monday. This copypasta of Edge’s opinion piece wasn’t necessary so much as a concise intro to the “fresh controversy” that those of us living outside the world of Evangelical-themed reality television shows were until this point unaware of.

“To make matters worse, the show carries at TV-14 rating,” Edge continues in his screed, lol.

For those unaware the Gainses are the insufferable Waco, Texas Evangelical couple whose show Fixer Upper helped popularize the interior design movement that resulted in retail stores across the United States filled with candle holders, picture frames, and all sorts of other shit manufactured to look like they were dug out of an abandoned barn. They rode the wave of the whole “urban rustic chic”-something style from a single series to their own 24 hour HGTV ripoff called “Magnolia,” and through their clout and millions in net worth remained in good standing with the Evangelical America.

After noticing a package from Vietnam declared as chocolate spongecake didn’t quite smell like chocolate spongecake, customs officials in the German city of Cologne last month opened it up and found that their suspicions had been justified since some asshole had stuffed over 1,500 baby tarantulas in plastic vials inside the cakes and shipped it to Germany, the Associated Press reports.

“My colleagues at the airport are regularly surprised by the contents of prohibited packages from all over the world, but the fact that they found around 1,500 small plastic containers containing young tarantulas in this package left even the most experienced among them speechless,” Cologne customs office spokesman Jens Ahland said in a statement Monday. The survivors were given to a local expert for care and the intended recipient – who per usual with the German justice system was not named publicly – is facing customs violation and import tax evasion charges.
