Wow, what a solid new talking point. “It’s not kicking people off Medicaid. It’s transitioning from Medicaid to employer-provided healthcare. So yes, we’ve got 10 million people that are not gonna be on Medicaid, but they then are gonna be on employer-provided healthcare,” meaning that you have to go find a job that offers health insurance, which surely are plentiful and within reach for all the people out in MAGAmerica who dropped out of high school and have criminal records. And if they aren’t, employers will absolutely start hiring and offering them health insurance because they’re saving so much on taxes. Plus the tariffs will help create those jobs. It’ll work out. Just watch.

“Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased 1.5 percent in the first quarter of 2025, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today, as output decreased 0.2 percent and hours worked increased 1.3 percent. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally adjusted annualized rates.) This is the first decline in nonfarm business sector labor productivity since the second quarter of 2022. From the same quarter a year ago, nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased 1.3 percent in the first quarter of 2025,” says the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“In the first quarter of 2025, nonfarm business sector productivity decreased 1.5 percent, a 0.7-percentage point downward revision from the previously reported decrease of 0.8 percent. Output was revised up 0.1 percentage point to a decrease of 0.2 percent and hours worked were revised up 0.7 percentage point to an increase of 1.3 percent. Unit labor costs increased 6.6 percent rather than increasing 5.7 percent as previously reported, reflecting a 0.2-percentage point upward revision to hourly compensation and a 0.7-percentage point downward revision to labor productivity.”

Convicted felon President Trump is currently in the middle of a phone call with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, having secret talks that nobody at the White House would tell NBC News about.

You know we have a $10 or $37 trillion or something debt or deficit and the government just keeps running stupid webcams like this one? What’s the purpose of it? Okay, well so what? Volcanoes erupt all the time. Meanwhile we still have millions of illegal immigrants running around at Harvard and they’re really antisemitic. Plus they go on to Harvard Law and the Medical School and take jobs from regular Americans. Government spending is out of control and we need a huge tax cut to get out of the Biden economy. Elon Musk is right about spending and no one’s going to get kicked off Medicaid. Democrats are lying about that, just like they lied about the Autopen. Somebody’s going to jail for that. President Trump is right about the tax cut and the CBO is lying about the deficit increase. The bill will create lots of jobs and the CBO isn’t accounting for enough economic growth and tariff revenue. Also the deficit will explode if the bill is passed and it will put us in debt slavery.

In conclusion, Democrats want to allow kids to identify as cats and use litter boxes at schools.

National Zero will resume our regular coverage after this important editorial summary of the Republican Party’s position on the issue of live webcams installed at Mt Kilauea in Hawaii.

Team Anti-Waste, Fraud, and Abuse are spending $2.1 million in taxpayer funds to conduct a full investigation of whether DEI policies cause plane crashes like the January collision between an Army Blackhawk and a passenger jet over the Potomac that killed 67 people, the Atlantic reports.

The investigation, outsourced to Elon Musk and Eric Adams’s lawyer Alex Spiro, is close to concluding and “not expected to find that programs aimed at ensuring representation for women and people of color are responsible for this year’s string of aviation disasters,” the Atlantic writes.

Bronx/Queens Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tells the New York Times she’s endorsing progressive state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for mayor, which is kind of a big deal for the surging liberal ahead of the June 24th Dem primary in which disgraced former Gov Andrew Cuomo once had a pretty prohibitive lead in polling. Libs hope to avoid a repeat of the crowded 2021 field that let idiot now-Mayor Eric Adams float to the top of a pond of lefties who couldn’t consolidate.

“Assemblymember Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “In the final stretch of the race, we need to get very real about that.”

Loser Secretary of State Marco Rubio is working on using the Balkans region of Europe as a dumping ground for undocumented migrants since the El Salvador and South Sudan intenrment schemes worked so well, Bloomberg reports on more moronic policy misadventures from Team Trump.

We are in a struggle for the survival of civilization itself and we have libertarians threatening to derail the entire agenda over bogus CBO pie charts. We will be debating these matters over the ruins of the West if we don’t control migration. https://t.co/HxtpEr94w4

You might not be okay if an immigrant took your wife to his private spaceport city in Texas and then started threatening to throw his money around to demolish all your hard work, so don’t judge.

Though of course he would never admit it in public, convicted felon President Trump thought the coordinated Ukrainian drone strike which wiped out a third of Russia’s bomber fleet over the weekend was “badass,” sources tell Axios. “Pretty strong,” one minion said of Donald’s private response. “He thought it was badass,” said another. A third said “from an international perspective, you’ve got a chihuahua inflicting some real damage on a much bigger dog,” which is a pretty lame assessment of Ukraine. By landmass it’s the largest country entirely in Europe and still within the top ten in population – even after depletion due to the Russian attack – though its pre-war economic weight was ranked by some measures around 20th to 25th out of roughly 45 European countries.

“The drone attack didn’t surprise him, because this is what happens when the war continues, but he is concerned that it will prolong the fighting. He wants the fighting to stop, so it disappoints him whenever there is an attack like that,” one Trump minion said to Axios, saying the concern is that the strike was a serious blow to not just Russia’s ability to attack Ukraine, but its nuclear capabilities.

Former Florida Republican Congressman David Jolly, who served in the state’s 13th Congressional District from 2014 to 2017, left the GOP in 2018, and has since registered as a Dem, on Thursday launched a gubernatorial bid to (likely) face asshole felon Byron Donalds, Huffington Post reports.

An entire book could be written about this tweet and the article it does not actually link to, but going to try to keep it under two-ish, maybe three thousand words. The story in question was printed at Fox Business News on Sunday night, headlined “Trump Burger chain grows popular in Texas, controversial with critics” to which main Fox News amped up the defiance with the “despite,” lol.

There’s another, bigger, continuity/unit cohesion effort issue in the text of the article itself, as Fox Business News content factory line worker Alexander Hall writes in the lede “A new burger chain themed around President Donald Trump is growing in Texas, and those who don’t vocally support him find it to be in poor taste. A Lebanese immigrant named Roland Beainy reportedly opened the restaurant chain, ‘Trump Burger,’ featuring burgers branded with the president’s name, American flags, and joke items themed around his Democratic rivals,” emphasis added on the owner’s identity being contingent and unverified pending confirmation. It’s as though Hall would have picked up the phone to ask who the owner is or, if it was after hours, conducted a search of Texas business records to nail it down but was up against a deadline to get the piece up at 10 PM EDT on a Sunday.

Or Hall could’ve just searched FoxBusiness.com, the website he works for, and found the January 30th, 2025 article “Trump Burger chain expanding in Texas, owner praises president as ‘gentleman that makes peace'” in which Hall’s colleague Louis Casiano fucking interviewed Beany.

“I have determined that it is necessary to restrict the entry of foreign nationals who seek to enter the United States solely or principally to participate in a course of study at Harvard University or in an exchange visitor program hosted by Harvard University. Such restrictions are authorized under sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 USC 1182(f) and 1185(a), which authorize the President to suspend entry of any class of aliens whose entry would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I have determined that the entry of the class of foreign nationals described above is detrimental to the interests of the United States because, in my judgment, Harvard’s conduct has rendered it an unsuitable destination for foreign students and researchers. Until such time as the university shares the information that the Federal Government requires to safeguard national security and the American public, it is in the national interest to deny foreign nationals access to Harvard under the auspices of educational exchange,” says a White House announcement really sticking it to the most prestigious university on the planet.

Convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday imposed the same travel ban he did in 2017, blocking citizens of Afghanistan, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering and partially restricts those from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela, CBS News’s Jennifer Jacobs reports.

Convicted felon President Trump may or may not end up talking to reporters at this “soiree” whatever the hell it is, but running it here in case it does as the fat bastard might just get provoked into saying something that’ll intensify the already fairly heated Musk-GOP war.

Popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Tuesday questioned Congressman Eric Swalwell on why voters should ever trust Dems again after Tha God read Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s book “Original Sin,” the New York Post reports on a major scoop that Mediaite somehow missed.

“I just finished reading the ‘Original Sin,’ so when I hear you talk, I’m like, well, what was the Democrats’ excuse when they chose to be accomplices in the cover-up of Biden’s physical and mental decline? It’s the same thing. Y’all got on television and pretended to act like everything was fine, knowing behind the scenes he was not the one,” Tha God said to Swalwell. Like holy shit, this should’ve been a pretty big deal on Mediaite and they kind of dropped the ball.

Charlamagne both-siding AND “Original Sin”? What the fuck, Mediaite? Like “SiriusXM’s Michelle Beadle Goes OFF After Hearing That Stephen A Smith’s New Show Will Take Her Time Slot – Says She Was Blindsided By Move” was good, but it wasn’t Charlamagne x Original Sin good.

Haven’t been this let down by Mediaite since they missed the Scott Jennings tweet about Bill Maher.

Colorado US District Judge Gordon Gallagher on Wednesday ordered a halt to the Trump Regime’s deportation proceedings against the wife and five kids of Boulder terrorist asshole Mohamed Soliman, who used a flamethrower to torch 12 participants in the local Jewish community’s Sunday demonstration calling for the release of the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

In April Soliman’s oldest, daughter Habiba, was locally recognized as one of the “Best and Brightest” and was awarded a scholarship to attend the University of Colorado as a pre-med student. It’s not clear what the point is in ruining her life other than just simple cruelty and malice to the vulnerable.

“The spread of innovation has been proposed as a potentially important source of adaptive behavioural responses to anthropogenic change. Yet, while a diversity of urban innovations have been documented in animals, there are relatively few examples of these spreading to form local traditions. One notable example is the ‘bin-opening innovation’ in sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita), where individuals open household bin lids to access food waste, with this behaviour spreading across southern Sydney, Australia. Here, we describe a second innovation in this species, the ‘drinking-fountain innovation’. Individuals from a population in western Sydney drink from twist-handle public drinking fountains, with this behaviour persisting over at least 2 years.”

“Successful operation requires a coordinated sequence of actions, with only 41 percent of observed attempts ending in success. Intensive observation at one drinking fountain over 44 days revealed 525 attempts and 46 percent of marked individuals successfully engaging in the behaviour, with individuals visiting at dawn and dusk in line with expectations for use of a water resource. Public drinking fountains vary in design between local councils but are generally widespread. Yet, to our knowledge, this behaviour has not been observed elsewhere. Altogether, this suggests that this drinking innovation has spread to form a new urban-adapted local tradition,” says the abstract to a new paper titled “Emergence of a novel drinking innovation in an urban population of sulphur-crested cockatoos, Cacatua galerita,” published by the Royal Society Biology Letters on Wednesday.

Asked to respond to a tweet by you know who demanding that the Big Beautiful Bill be rewritten from scratch, Jesus Dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson on Wednesday told Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman that “We dont have time for a brand new bill. And I want Elon and all my friends to recognize the complexity of what we’ve accomplished here. This extraordinary piece of legislation, record number of savings, record tax cuts for the American people and all the other benefits in it.”

“We worked on the bill for almost 14 months. You can’t go back to the drawing board – and we shouldn’t. We have a great product to deliver here. I know… it’s not perfect by some peoples’ estimations. But you cannot make a perfect the enemy of the very, very, very good. We’re proud of this product. The House Republicans are proud of it and we’re happy to go out and explain that to everybody,” Johnson continued, pretty much just completely lying about the time pressure aspect.

If they make the debt ceiling a separate vote they have 19 months until the next Congress. Even if that’s not actually that realistic at the very least they have another six considering that the 2017 tax bill passed in mid-December of that year. It’s likely that what Johnson is actually worried about is a recession coming which would make it harder to justify politically what he’s already having a hard time with. He could at least try to be honest about that. Maybe just a Freudian slip or something.

Ketamine Brain pinned this to the top of his Twitter feed. The rest of the embedded post by the rando, whoever the hell she is, says “Almost every comment is in agreement with Elon – to see so many vehemently disagreeing with Trump is wild. GOP better be reeeeaaal careful.”

“I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday, not offering anything at all about what he said next.

“We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!” the fat bastard continued and holy shit Putin just changed the subject and fed him sweet nothings, lol.
