“Governor Gavin Newsom today signed SB 576 by Senator Thomas Umberg (D-Santa Ana) to turn down the volume of commercials that rise to a level louder than the primary video content being watched. Building on Congress’ Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act passed in 2010 – which applied to broadcast television stations and cable operators – the law Governor Newsom signed today will also apply to streaming services, which have skyrocketed in popularity over the past decade. ‘We heard Californians loud and clear, and what’s clear is that they don’t want commercials at a volume any louder than the level at which they were previously enjoying a program. By signing SB 576, California is dialing down this inconvenience across streaming platforms, which had previously not been subject to commercial volume regulations passed by Congress in 2010,’” says a Monday press release from the California governor’s office.

When was the last time that Trump signed a bill that did something people actually asked for?

“Democrats have SHUT DOWN the United States Government right in the midst of one of the most successful Economies, including a Record Stock Market, that our Country has ever had. This has sadly affected so many programs, services, and other elements of Society that Americans rely on and it should not have happened. I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to re-open. In fact, they should open our Government tonight!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, apparently that addled that he thinks Dems are simply going to surrender their leverage and trust him.

A 56 year-old Tunisian man was sentenced to death last week after he was convicted of expressing a negative opinion about President Kais Saied in a series of Facebook posts, according to a statement by Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa regional director Heba Morayef.

“This verdict, which sentences a man to death for peaceful dissent on Facebook, represents a significant escalation and an outrageous assault on human rights. The Tunisian authorities must immediately quash Saber Chouchen’s conviction and release him without delay,” said Morayef on a sentence out of convicted felon US President Trump’s wet dreams. Chouchen is said to be a disabled construction worker and father of three who only works occasionally after being injured in a job site accident some time ago and wasn’t really all that savvy with the internet and politics.

“Most of the content he shared was copied from other pages, and some posts received no engagement at all,” Chouchen’s lawyer Oussama Bouthelja wrote in a Facebook post. “In court, he said his intent was to draw authorities’ attention to his difficult living conditions, not to incite unrest.”

It’s not clear when the lawyer will face trial for questioning the justice system on Facebook.

Convicted felon President Trump’s Justice Department has made the forgone determination that the regime is on solid legal ground whenever they want to kill anyone they think is associated with a drug cartel, as they have all been designated as “enemy combatants,” CNN reports.

The list of fucking bro podcaster chodes that either partially or fully regret platforming convicted felon President Trump during the home stretch of the 2024 campaign continues to grow as Adin Ross – the twatwaffle who famously gifted the fat fuck a Cybertruck with custom “CyberTrump” livery on it – is now out too, telling fans he hates being associated with MAGA, Complex reports.

“Now that I look back on it, I really, really wish I never got into politics,” Ross said on a recent episode. “So many people just tie me to it, and no matter what, they don’t even get to know who I am. I don’t think I’ll ever care enough again for any other politician. At the end of the day, we’re all humans. That stuff is just way out of pocket,” Ross continued, as though plenty of people didn’t tell the 19 or 20-something year-old that he had no idea what the fuck he was talking about.

Ross joins other loathsome subtards Theo Von, Dave Portnoy, and Andrew Schulz on the regret list.

“The National Weather Service in Grand Forks conducted additional surveys and worked extensively with wind damage experts to further investigate the 20 June 2025 Enderlin, N tornado #1. The estimated maximum wind speed of the Enderlin, ND tornado #231 is greater than 210 mph and occurred during the time of the train derailment south of Enderlin, ND. The analysis involved forensic damage wind speed estimates for tipping several fully-loaded grain hopper cars and lofting of tanker cars, including one empty tanker car that was tossed about 475 ft. The maximum wind speed also correlates to the maximum strength on WSR-88D Storm-Relative Velocity data from KMVX.”

“Additional high-end damage indicators that have been reanalyzed and adjusted to include damage to the trees near the Maple River east of Enderlin and damage to the farmstead #2 on Hwy 46.”

“Further analysis of the trees surrounding the Maple River show extensive tree damage throughout the entire river valley with only stubs of large branches or large trunks remaining and debarking with a ‘sandpapering’ effect prevalent. Trees with attached root ball displacements were noted, including one where the original location could not be determined. Wind damage expert analyses helped determine the damage at farmstead #232 to be complete destruction with the foundation considered to be swept clean and debris swept downwind and scattered. However, issues surrounding the lack of proper anchoring will limit the overall rating in this area. Trees around the farmstead were also debarked, and saw root ball displacements. The National Weather Service in Grand Forks would like to thank Tim Marshall, Jim LaDue, Dr Connell Miller, Dr Greg Kopp, Dr David Sills, and the entire Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University’s Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory team for their assistance,” says the National Weather Service’s after-action report.

This was not a technical glitch – well not a real technological glitch. Stephen Miller seriously just had a Mitch McConnell moment live on CNN. He resumed spewing his hateful shit a few minutes later and exactly what happened in the intervening time is unclear given the clips of the segment available. The image did not freeze, Miller just stopped mid-sentence and stood there blinking and moving slightly. It was legitimately kind of unnerving and he’s already a creepy son of a bitch.

“Long John Silver’s, the brand famous for hand-battered fish and golden shrimp, is making waves with an unexpected announcement: a new look that puts chicken front and center. The company revealed a redesigned logo that swaps its signature fish illustration for a stylized chicken, accompanied by a new ‘CHICKEN + SEAFOOD’ lock-up. The refreshed design is being rolled out across digital platforms will be further cemented with the unveiling of a new chicken icon wrap on the Long John Silver’s Front Row Motorsports car during the South Point 400,” says a press release from the iconic friend sea-meat brand, openly betraying its sea-based roots.

“Beginning November 1st, 2025, all Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks coming into the United States from other Countries will be Tariffed at the Rate of 25 percent,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, just doing what he does to entire industries on a whim as usual.

OpenAI have made some… adjustments… to their newest AI video slop factory Sora 2 after a user created an uploaded a video of the company’s founder Sam Altman grilling, butchering, and then consuming a slice of meat from a realistic-looking Pikachu Pokemon character, Kotaku reports.

Stupid story short, OpenAI’s first policy with Sora 2 was to have copyright holders opt-in to banning the use of their properties on the app, that’s now been reversed to opt-out, meaning that restrictions are automatic for any party that does not contact them and allow it. The upshot being that you can’t generate a clip of Spider-man kicking Lindsey Graham in the balls.

“Newton County Sheriff Glenn Wheeler said a bear has been killed that is believed to be responsible for the fatal attack on a Springfield, Missouri man. On Sunday, October 5, 2025, a bear was caught on cellular camera in Sam’s Throne Campground, just a few yards from where the victim was attacked a few days earlier. Arkansas Game and Fish personnel, along with personnel from the Newton County Sheriff’s Office, looked at the photos and determined the bear appeared to be the same bear photographed by the victim, and encountered by another man at a roadside overlook just outside the campground in September. Local hunters were called and brought hounds to where the bear was photographed. The dogs began trailing the bear, treeing it shortly afterward,” says a press release from the Newtown County, Arkansas Sheriff’s Office on the hunt for Osama Bear Laden.

“Sheriff Wheeler and an Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Employee accompanied the hunters in pursuing the bear. After the bear was treed by the dogs, the hunters, Sheriff Wheeler and Game and Fish personnel were able to get a better look and determine there was an extremely high probability it was the same bear. As soon as the bear was brought out of the area, it was transported to Little Rock so officials can perform a necropsy and begin other testing on the bear, including attempting to obtain DNA samples to match to the victim,” the CSI: Arkansas pilot episode pitch continued.

Dem former North Carolina Gov Roy Cooper, who won twice in a Red State with Donald Trump on the same ballot, raised $14.5 million last quarter in his bid to replace retiring Republican Senator Thom Tillis, Politico reports on a total more than doubling the $5.8 million haul of his likely opponent former RNC chair Mike Whatley, who has never won an election, much less ran in one.

Unless you count all the members of the Republican National Committee and the North Carolina GOP voting for him to be their chairs. Those were election-ish situations. What’s funnier here is that Axios sold Whatley as this absolute god of fundraising and since sucking off the moneyed GOP donor class is kind of Axios’s beat you would think that at the very least there’d be something like parity in the race, but for the moment it looks like Lara Trump’s replacement isn’t off to a great start.

Venezuela’s National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez on Sunday claimed that domestic far right extremists are planning an attack on the largely mothballed US embassy in Caracas and that convicted felon President Trump’s regime had been duly warned of the threat, Reuters reports.

Trump severed diplomatic ties with Maduro’s regime in 2019, leaving the embassy deserted of all US diplomatic personnel and handing it over to Switzerland on a custodial basis – with more than a hundred locals still maintaining the facility. So it’s not like the attack would have been merely “symbolic” and bloodless, an angle that both Rodriguez and Reuters seem to have missed: That such an action – that was supposed to be blamed on dictator Nicolas Maduro’s regime – just might not have been a unilateral move by the right wing partisans but more like a USS Maine or Gulf of Tonkin-type moment. That they already knew and the whole point of the false flag is to cost zero American still provide more than enough pretext for the Trump regime to launch the all-out war against the rogue South American state the fat bastard has been itching to start for a while.

Jesus Dork Speaker Mike Johnson and his top lieutenants will on Monday continue to lie to the media about the shutdown they refuse to end by giving Americans access to cheaper healthcare.

The US Supreme Court on Monday denied certiorari to Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell’s bid for a new trial following her 2021 conviction on five counts including sex trafficking of a minor and conspiracy charges related to recruiting and grooming underage girls for sexual abuse. Maxwell had argued that then-US Attorney – and later convicted felon President Trump’s first Labor Secretary – Alex Acosta’s corrupt 2008 deal with Epstein immunizing unindicted co-conspirators had applied to her and thus her charges and conviction were void. The Court did not explain their denial.

CNN’s Elie Honig had warned that, strictly on the legal technicalities, Maxwell might have actually had a good case before the court, estimating her chances at 20 to 30 percent that Los Supremos would actually take it up – and considerably higher if not for the fact that she was Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice. Which could be why they didn’t state any reason for the denial, that even during a stretch in which they nuked abortion rights and gave the fat fucking autocrat in the White House a blank check for fascism that letting Ghislaine Maxwell off the hook was a bridge too far for them.

The court also denied other sick freak Laura Loomer’s petition in her batshit “RICO” lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter. Sedition Sam recused from the decision for some reason.
