Canvassers with Arizona for Abortion Access, a coalition of reproductive rights organizations including the ACLU and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, tell NBC News they’ve gathered 506,892 petition signatures over the 383,923 well ahead of the July 3rd deadline to ensure a referendum on constitutional amendment on abortion makes it on the state’s ballot in November.

“This is an issue that people are eager to see on the ballot,” said Arizona for Abortion Access campaign manager Cheryl Bruce. “As our volunteers are out collecting, people are coming up to them, folks are coming up to them and wanting to sign this petition. They want to see access to abortion restored in the state of Arizona.” Well that sure fucking sucks for the MAGA clowns, some of whom were already having a hard time coping with the news out of Florida on a similar measure.

In related news, fat former President Trump’s campaign non-reacted to the Florida Supreme Court’s decision to allow the 6-week ban to take a effect with a statement saying “President Trump supports preserving life but has also made clear that he supports states’ rights because he supports the voters’ right to make decisions for themselves,” and yeah he’s going to have some issues.

Ukrainian drones hit an oil refinery and a drone factory in the Russian province of Tatarstan on Tuesday in likely the deepest offensive strike inside Russia in two years of war, the AP reports.

Venture capitalist brothers Michael and Gerald Shvartsman, indicted last year on insider trading charges related to the DWAC scam which allowed Truth Social parent Trump Media and Technology Group to go public last week, have scheduled a change of plea hearing for Wednesday in the Southern District of New York, a sure sign that they’re going to cop a plea, CNBC reports.

Well said, thank you.

And what do we have to expect going forward when he brings $60 billion for Ukraine next week, FISA after that, and the next government funding deadline of September 30th?

Johnson is actually helping the Democrats’ mission, not ours. https://t.co/S6BujfTLWa

“To designate the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the ‘Donald J Trump International Airport’. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr RESCHENTHALER introduced the following bill, which was referred to the Committee on A BILL To designate the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the ‘Donald J Trump International Airport’. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.”

“SECTION 1. DESIGNATION OF DONALD J TRUMP INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. (a) DESIGNATION, The Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia shall after the date of the enactment of this Act be known and designated as the ‘Donald J Trump International Airport.’ REFERENCE. Any reference in any law, regulation, map, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the airport referred to in subsection (a) shall be considered to be a reference to the Donald J Trump International Airport,” says the text a new bill to be introduced next week by simpering little bitch Pennsylvania MAGA Congressman Guy Reschenthaler and at least six co-sponsors.

PLEASE GOD let this be something that Mike Johnson refuses to bring to the floor and that turns Trump against him. That would be the best and most realistic outcome for this stupid circlejerk.

“I just was informed that another corrupt New York Judge, Juan Merchan, GAGGED me so that I can not talk about the corruption and conflicts taking place in his courtroom with respect to a case that everyone, including the DA, felt should never have been brought. They can talk about me, but I can’t talk about them??? That sounds fair, doesn’t it? This Judge should be recused, and the case should be thrown out. There has virtually never been a more conflicted judge than this one. ELECTION INTERFERENCE at its worst!” posted fat former President Trump on Truth Social Tuesday morning, still too chickenshit to violate the gag order and dare the court to do something about it.

“Please remember, ALL of these Lawsuits, Charges, and Indictments that have been brought against me have been orchestrated and coordinated by Crooked Joe Biden, the White House, and the DOJ, as an ATTACK ON CROOKED’S POLITICAL OPPONENT, ME. This has never happened before in our Country,” he continued impotently whining in another post as his first trial inexorably approaches, then adding “THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN CORRUPTED & POLITICIZED AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE” and he’ll probably keep going on and on and on with this shit.

In a report we’re getting to more than a month late because fat former President Trump waited that long to post it to his Truth Social account, Breitbart revealed on February 27th, 2024 that Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis’s office “subjected her employees to mandatory race training, forcing the entire office to rate ‘Black’ or ‘White’ skin colors as either ‘Good’ or ‘Bad,’ according to training slides and video exclusively obtained by” the far right propaganda outlet.

Wow. Holy shit, right? The prosecutor scorned as a “reverse racist” for going after the Orange Slob and his minions practices diversity training in her workplace, and Breitbart treats it like some explosively damning expose, as if the voters in her plurality Black and majority Democratic jurisdiction are going to turn against her now that she’s clearly running a “DEI” operation, lol.

A South Korean pop star who had to apologize to fans last month for having a boyfriend is single again, likely having ended it with an actor due to anger from weirdos who expect their idols to remain theoretically “available” to them, the BBC reports. “Aespa” frontwoman Yu “Karina” Ji-min and Lee Jae-wook had been an item until Lee’s studio announced they had ended it on Monday because he wanted to focus on his film projects… probably meaning his bosses didn’t like it either.

As teams from numerous government agencies opened up a channel for ships involved in the clean-up, the ship’s management company and the company that owns the container ship that rammed the bridge support causing the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore filed a motion to cap their potential financial losses from lawsuits stemming from the disaster, the Associated Press reports.

Grace Ocean Private Ltd. Co., the owner of the ship, and Synergy Marine Group, which managed it, filed a “limitation of liability” petition seeking to cap combined damages at $43.6 million.  The filing is in compliance with a pre-Civil War maritime law that allows shipping companies to file for a cap in damages when there’s a death caused while engaged in maritime trade.  A court will ultimately decide who is liable for damages.

As the clean-up of the site goes on, the container ship, the MV Dali, remains at the site as crews start to use torches to cut through the remains of the bridge.  The Dali’s crew has been aboard the ship since the accident, unable to leave the ship due to another longstanding maritime law.  Technicians have also cleared a separate channel to be used only by ships involved in the clean-up effort; commercial traffic remains blocked.

The Tennessee state house and senate passed a bill with an amendment that would ban any research or implementation of geoengineering projects that may alleviate some of the long term effects out of concerns about conspiracy theories regarding so-called “chem trails” in the skies, NBC News reports.

In a bill to shorten the time vacancies can exist on a pollution control board, six Republican state senators sponsored the amendment reading, “The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited.”

“This will be my wife’s favorite bill of the year. She has worried about this, I bet, 10 years. It’s been going on a long, long time,” Republican state senator Frank Niceley said at a hearing about the bill in February. “If you look up– one day, it’ll be clear.  The next day they will look like some angels have been playing tic-tac-toe. They’re everywhere.  I’ve got pictures on my phone with X’s right over my house.  For years they denied they were doing anything.”

Days after introducing his personally sanctioned Bible, presumptive GOP nominee for president and man who puts Ron Popeil to shame Donald Trump posted his endorsement of a limited-production “Allah Bless America” Koran, noting that, “All Americans need a Koran in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book,” Trump said in the video.  “It’s a lot of people’s favorite book. … I want to have a lot of people have it. You have to have it for your heart and for your soul.”

“This Koran is a reminder that the biggest thing we have to bring back America and to make America great again is our religion,” Trump proclaimed.  “Religion is so important, so missing, but it’s gonna come back and it’s gonna come back strong, just like our country’s gonna come back strong.”

Trump advisor Stephen Miller commented on the endorsement on the NewsMax 2 web series Repeal the 25th hosted by Raymond Arroyo, “This is an absolutely brilliant move by President Trump.  Absolutely brilliant.  Not only is it a way for him to attract the Black community, but he can make money off them and plummet them further into poverty and deprivation.  Oh, and this will attract all those Millenials leaving Biden because of Gaza.  It’s an absolutely brilliant move, Raymond, if you think about it–and I do; I think about it–it’s brilliant because these people are literally paying President Trump to assemble a list of all the people we need to deport.”

“This is connecting with Black America because they love the Koran! They’re into the Koran… this is a big deal, certainly in the inner city,” Arroyo pontificated. “So when you have Trump roll out his Koran line, they’re like, ‘Wait a minute, this is cool!’”

“I’ve had two Congressman call me,” disgraced exiled former Fox host Eric Bolling asserts to Speaker pro tem Mike Johnson, making sure he’s holding up the correct number of fingers before making himself “woke” suddenly.  “Congresspeople, I’ll say it that way, call me saying there’s someone on the Democrat side that’s paying off some of these members to leave to leave you with less of a majority.  Have you heard that?  You wanna refute it?  Is that nonsense What are your thoughts?”  Johnson responds that he has not, in fact, heard of disaffected Republican members of the House retiring early to get out of the world circling around baseless conspiracy theories.

A three-judge panel denied all eight motions to dismiss made by Hunter Biden’s attorneys relating to the tax fraud charges he faces in California.  A judge who initially heard the case last week questioned the validity of one of the arguments, which he said lacked any evidence.  Biden also faces federal gun charges in Delaware.

Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond with the New York courts, allowing him to appeal the $450+ million civil judgment for financial fraud, Erica Orden of Politico reports.  The bond was posted by Knight Specialty Insurance Company.

New York Judge Juan Merchan, overseeing Donald Trump’s Manhattan trial, expanded the coverage of the gag order to include family members of the judge, the court staff and the prosecutor’s office, per the request of District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.

Fresh off her dismissal from NBC News after a rebellion from the network’s journalist because she lacks credibility, the Democrats’ favorite former RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel will join Kremlin-backed media outlet RT on a short-term contract to provide US election analysis.  

Management at RT expressed excitement at having the former RNC chair appearing on the network, which signed McRomney to a one-day try-out contract on Monday.  “Ronna gives our network the type of honesty and credibility reflective of our brand here in the United States,” Alexey Nikolov, the Managing Director of RT stated in a released statement.  “Having her on our staff, even momentarily, provides us with inroads to appear legitimate to her previous audience.  Having a familiar face advancing our talking points cuts through six steps on establishing credibility for the highly-impressionable audience we wish to indoctrinate.”  

For her part, Romney-McDaniel felt relief that she could gain employment after her abrupt ouster from NBC.  “A girl’s gotta pay her bills,” Romney-McDaniel said.  “But I’m very excited about my new position.  I feel at home here.  I feel very comfortable.  This fits my strengths.  Mr. Nikolov assures me that I will not have to formulate thoughts on my own, where I’ve had problems in the past.  Here, they’ll dictate to me what I’m allowed to say.  It’s a familiar situation where I can utilize my talent of endlessly repeating talking points without critical thought.”

Kudos to Media Matters researcher Katherine Abughazaleh, known on Twitter as Kat Abu, for piecing together the video of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s response to a Fox propagandist’s question about why International Transgender Day of Visibility, which happens on March 31st every year since 2009, coincided with the Christian Easter holiday, which changes dates every year.

A Maricopa County, Arizona judge ruled lection officials may seek sanctions against losing Republican Attorney General candidate Abe Hamadeh for his attempts to decertify the 2022 election Hamadeh lost to Democrat Kris Mayes by 280 votes, the Arizona Republican reports.

The ruling by Judge Susanna Pineda also consolidated–and dismissed–suits brought by Hamadeh and two private citizens seeking to require yet another hand recount of ballots and reverse the results of the election that happened 18 months ago.  Private citizen David Mast and Cochise County Supervisor Tom Crosby (acting as a private citizen) brought suit claiming their votes were negated because mail-in ballots were counted even though each ballot’s signature was not matched to the voter’s registration cards.

With the glow of owning the cult leader’s new stock wearing off and institutional investors nowhere to be found, Donald Trump took a hit of more than $1 billion in “paper value” after the Trump Media and Technology Group stock fell more than 21% in Monday trading.

The owner of 78.5 million shares, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee say his eponymous company drop more than thirteen points on Monday, closing at $48.66, a loss of $1.044 billion.  Overall, the NASDAQ Composite closed up 0.11%, at 16,396.83 on Monday. Of course, Trump’s wealth with this stock is vapor:  the true value of his shares is what someone is willing to pay Trump for them, and when he has his fire sale to raise cash, the value will plummet.
