DC Federal Judge Loren AliKhan on Tuesday ordered a halt to convicted felon President Trump’s total freeze on all federal grants and loans for at least a few days, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.

“We write to you concerning the reported firing of Inspectors General from 18 offices. Congress was not provided the legally required 30-day notice and case-specific reasons for removal, as required by law. Accordingly, we request that you provide that information immediately.”

“On December 23, 2022, the ‘James M Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023’ was signed into law and included provisions from the Securing Inspector General Independence Act, which was introduced by a bipartisan group of members. Those provisions require that the President ‘shall’ communicate to Congress in writing 30 days before removing or transferring an IG from office the ‘substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons’ for the removal or transfer. The law also prohibits an IG from being placed on non-duty status during the 30-day period preceding the date of removal or transfer unless the continued presence of the Inspector General in the workplace poses a threat as described by requirements in the Administrative Leave Act and the President submits a report to Congress. While IGs aren’t immune from committing acts requiring their removal, and they can be removed by the president, the law must be followed. The communication to Congress must contain more than just broad and vague statements, rather it must include sufficient facts and details to assure Congress and the public that the termination is due to real concerns about the Inspector General’s ability to carry out their mission,'” write Senators Charles Grassley and Dick Durbin in a letter to the Orange Pharaoh.

Tuesday is White House Press Secretary Karoline “Blondi” Leavitt’s first press conference. Should be fun as she “battles” the “leftist, agenda-driven propaganda” in the legacy media.

Former First Daughter Caroline Kennedy on Tuesday sent a letter to senators undorsing her cousin Robert F Kennedy Jr to be US Secretary of Health and Human Services, per the Washington Post. “I have known Bobby my whole life, we grew up together,” wrote Kennedy, rattling off that “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator,” that through “the strength of his personality,” other family members followed Bobby “down the path of drug addiction… His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks. It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.”

Caroline did give props to Bobby for “pulling himself out of illness and disease” but lamented the “siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness, and death while Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, lie, and cheat his way through life.”

Georgia MAGA Congressman Rich McCormick on Tuesday was really doing his best to sound like a pretty lazy stereotype of a Republican, just outright saying kids too young to work to pay for their own school lunches by working. He also mocked poor fat people who eat junk food.

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday told House Republicans that obeying their Orange Overlord’s commands to raise or abolish the debt ceiling was probably not going to happen in their first spending bill, CNN’s Sarah Ferris reports on the caucus walking themselves into Dems holding the gun on the limit and extorting major concessions from the Republicans.

“In good old-fashioned Danish, a blob of fossil vomit has been found on Stevns Klint. Such finds are rare, and the Danish Animal Welfare Committee has just declared the fossil vomit to be Danish animal welfare. In technical terms, this type of find is called regurgitalite, and they are considered very important when reconstructing ancient ecosystems, because the finds provide important knowledge about which animals have been eaten by whom. The find was made by local fossil hunter Peter Bennicke, who discovered a strange little collection of sea lily pieces in a piece of chalk he had just split. He brought the find to Geomuseum Faxe, where it was cleaned and examined by Dutch sea lily expert John Jagt,” says the Danish Geomuseum Faxe in a blog post about their puke.

“The expert concluded that the collection consisted of at least two different species of sea lilies mixed together in a round clump, and that it must be the remains of sea lilies that had been eaten by an animal that had subsequently regurgitated the indigestible parts of the sea lilies. Museum curator at Geomuseum Faxe and member of the Danish Wildlife Committee Jesper Milàn explains: ‘It is truly an unusual find. Sea lilies are not a particularly nutritious diet, as they mainly consist of calcareous plates held together by very few soft parts. But here is an animal, probably a type of fish, that 66 million years ago ate sea lilies that lived on the bottom of the Cretaceous sea and regurgitated the skeletal parts back up. Such a find provides important new knowledge about the relationship between predators and prey and the food chains in the Cretaceous sea.'”

“If you would like to see the new Danish puke, you can do so during the winter holidays (weeks 7 and 8), where it will be exhibited in a small special exhibition at Geomuseum Faxe.”

CNN’s Jim Acosta signed off his last show on the network Tuesday, just minutes after convicted felon President Trump, who Acosta so excellently harried for years posted his little victory dance with “Wow, really good news! Jim Acosta, one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history, a major sleazebag, has been relegated by CNN Fake News to the Midnight hour, ‘Death Valley,’ because of extraordinarily BAD RATINGS (and no talent!). Word is that he wants to QUIT, and that would be even better. Jim is a major loser who will fail no matter where he ends up. Good luck Jim!” after Acosta’s cunt of a boss forced him out to appease the Orange God Emperor.

No need to get all corny about what Acosta just said, but he stands tall in a world where the pussies at Google just relabelled the map to say “Gulf of America” and “Mt McKinley.” Counts more than you might think it does right now, that down the road people are going to remember who supplicated out of cowardice and who defied the fascist dictator who was not actually invincible and immortal.

“Governor Whitmer is grateful for Senator Peters’ service. She is proudly serving the people of Michigan as governor and is not running for this seat in the senate,” says a spokesperson for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s “Fight Like Hell” PAC in a statement.

Yep. They’re actually running with this narrative after four years of Bidenomics is awesome and inflation isn’t so bad. You can’t fix stupid. https://t.co/kVkKaW8KG8

A new survey conducted by public opinion outfit Verian for newspapers Sermitsiaq in Greenland and Berlingske in Denmark finds 85 percent of Greenlanders oppose joining the US and prefer instead to stick with the Danes. The Berlingske article is paywalled so further details were unavailable to National Zero, but besides maybe how many respondents opted for independence from Denmark, what else is an 85 percent majority going to tell you? This isn’t happening without popular support and the first apparently reliable polling on the matter says it isn’t there, no matter how many homeless guys Don Jr wants to give food and free MAGA hats so they’ll pose in a staged photo.

Just going to throw this out there, that maybe Greenlanders would be more amenable to supporting US annexation if there were guaranteed statehood, generous economic benefits, and mentally stable governance rather than half-formed threats of military conquest and subjugation.

Michigan Senator Gary Peters will announce his retirement at 9:30 AM EST on Tuesday, opening up his seat in 2026, Talking Points Memo reports. Pretty freaking early in a cycle to be hanging it up.

Worth raising whether this is specifically to give Pete Buttigieg a head start on his expected bid for another office. Obviously Pete’s from Indiana, but the amount of time could be giving him a chance to get established in the Great Lakes State and not be labeled a “carpet-bagger.”

Just now.

Writing about convicted felon President Trump’s abrupt halt to tens of billions of federal grants and loans, Politico Playbook’s Tuesday morning newsletter of course goes full on with “Trump’s massive power grab,” just utterly awed by how much of a brute force of nature the fat fuck is with flexing his supreme God-like abilities to shape the political conversation and blah blah blah.

A few paragraphs down is when they note that, well, some people might be affected. “How big a political risk is Trump taking? [emphasis Playbook’s] His supporters are already celebrating the imminent spending purge, but over the next few days, we’re going to discover the full range of programs, projects and initiatives whose funds have suddenly been blocked. And given the sweeping scale of the order, it seems unlikely these will all be glowingly liberal, woke-tastic DEI projects in coastal America. This order is going to affect communities the length and breadth of the country. Be careful what you wish for, Mr President.” WHOA! BETTER PUMP THE BRAKES THERE PLAYBOOK, OTHERWISE YOUR GOD MIGHT SMITE YOU WITH A SIMPLE POINTING OF HIS FINGER.

“But let’s also be clear: Amidst the liberal outrage, it’s important to remember that this was all spelled out by Trump long in advance. Throughout the election campaign, he told America repeatedly that he would reshape the federal government, root out (and even prosecute) his enemies, pardon supporters who were convicted of violent crimes, slash government spending programs en masse and ax huge numbers of federal jobs. And then he won 77 million votes to do exactly that. Those accusing Trump of being anti-democratic might note that this is largely democracy in action.” Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh enough… Seriously fuck you, Politico.

A woman whose home was destroyed in the massive Eaton Fire that killed at least 17 people and devastated the Altadena area of Los Angeles County earlier this month has obtained surveillance video from a gas station showing the fire’s origin from nearby power lines that arced in high winds as evidence in the woman’s lawsuit against Southern California Edison (SCE), CNN reports.

The video itself is a little UFO-ish, in that what is purported to be arcing, falling sparks, and then flames is just little glowing dots amid the blackness. But then it jumps to what’s unmistakably a raging inferno just eight minutes later and obviously any serious plaintiff is going to have other locational data showing that it corresponds to SCE equipment. “This investigation has unearthed video evidence of SCE’s equipment in Eaton Canyon arcing and sparking, followed by an eruption of flames, all at 6:11 pm on January 7, 2025 – the precise moment the Eaton Fire began,” said Jay Edelson, the complainant’s attorney. Images taken by other locals minutes later shows flames raging at the base of transmission towers. Southern California Edison may be just kind of fucked.

Bro-ing out with other complete cock knob has-been Matt Taibbi on Monday, former top Fox News propagandist Tucker Carlson – who looks like he’s well on his way to becoming as puffy and bloated as fellow defenestree Glenn Beck – claimed, with zero evidence whatsoever to back it up, that the US tried to have Russian dictator Vladimir Putin assassinated at some point over the last few years.
