“A CME is anticipated to arrive at Earth early to midday on 09 December causing elevated geomagnetic field activity, and dependent upon the orientation of the embedded magnetic field, potential exists for G3-Strong storm levels. Limited, minor effects to some technological infrastructure possible, but usually mitigatable. The aurora may become visible over many of the northern states and some of the lower Midwest to Oregon. The general public should consider monitoring our webpage for the latest information and updates,” says NOAA in a bulletin anticipating a massive, satisfying, and forceful release of solar spray in Earth’s direction.

Back in August New York federal Judge Paul Engelmayer responded to the Trump Regime’s bid to unseal grand jury testimony from the case against Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell with a denial, pointing out that it was a bullshit fake-out attempt at political ass-covering during a time when fat Donald was feeling an insane amount of heat over his refusal to be more transparent on the matter and, importantly, that most of the sealed info was already public anyway.

“The evidence put before the Maxwell grand juries is today, with only very minor exceptions, a matter of public record. The Government admitted as much in response to the Court’s order: ‘The enclosed, annotated transcripts show that much of the information provided during the course of the grand jury testimony – with the exception of the identities of certain witnesses – was made publicly available at [Maxwell’s] trial or has otherwise been publicly reported through the public statements of victims and witnesses.’ And because the Government proposes to redact the witnesses’ identities, the exception it noted does not reflect information that the public would learn were the grand jury transcripts unsealed. The Court’s review confirmed that unsealing the grand jury materials would not reveal new information of any consequence,” Engelmayer wrote.

Further down he lit into Attorney General Pam Bondi and her clown car even harder, writing “The one colorable argument under that doctrine for unsealing in this case, in fact, is that doing so would expose as disingenuous the Government’s public explanations for moving to unseal. A member of the public, appreciating that the Maxwell grand jury materials do not contribute anything to public knowledge, might conclude that the Government’s motion for their unsealing was aimed not at ‘transparency’ but at diversion – aimed not at full disclosure but at the illusion of such.”

Been a while since chairbilly James Comer’s committee has had a good live show here so what the hell, why not, right? Sometimes it’s these low-key meetings that produce the greatest laughs.

“A Fierce Declaration: Reclaiming Our Nation’s Promise My mandate in Congress was simple: safeguard our fundamental Constitutional rights and our freedoms. I immediately began work to protect the rights to reduce crime, safeguard gun ownership, protect life, ensure homeland security, and secure our freedom from burdensome taxation. The head of the FBI has firmly attested that a rogue element within the Bureau is engaged in political warfare against conservatives and Christians. I know firsthand the chilling truth of what the FBI director describes,” writes Republican former Texas Congressman Steve Stockman in a very lengthy, very self-important, very “please endorse me Orange Jesus” statement announcing his second House comeback bid.

Stockman served one term in the House from 1995 to 1997, another from 2013 to 2015, and then in federal prison from 2018 to 2020 on what would’ve been a 10 year bid for 23 counts of money laundering had convicted felon President Trump not commuted his sentence in December of that year. Why Trump did not fully pardon Stockman is unclear but the asshole was still stuck with $1,000,000 in restitution costs and supervised release conditions after being let out.

In yet another preview of the kind of investigative headaches looming for the Trump Regime if Republicans can’t salvage the Midterms, Senator Liz Warren and Congressman Jamie Raskin on Tuesday sent a letter seeking answers on corruption in deportation industry contracts, writing that fat Donald’s “plans to deport millions of non-violent immigrants have ushered in a ‘gold rush’ for private contractors that provide immigration detention, surveillance, and deportation services.”

“The influx of $170 billion in new immigration enforcement and border militarization funding through Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ has resulted in a historic transfer of taxpayer dollars to immigration contractors. We are concerned that some contractors are potentially receiving lucrative, no-bid contracts because of their close ties to high-level Trump administration officials. Notably, President Trump’s ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan previously ran a firm that helped contractors secure homeland security contracts and, now from inside the government, may be helping his former clients secure federal contracts. Before the election, he allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash in a Cava bag in exchange for the promise that, if President Trump took office, Mr Homan would help certain companies win contracts. Since entering government, Mr Homan reportedly has participated in meetings with immigration contractors about contracts, potentially in violation of ethics rules, and some companies with ties to Mr Homan have been short-listed to compete for lucrative contracts”

Japanese officials on Tuesday issued an advisory warning of a potential megathrust earthquake of magnitude 8.0 or higher off the northeast coast of the main island of Honshu following Monday’s 7.5 tremor that sent a 20-inch tsunami crashing into the shoreline, the Associated Press reports.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency – which despite its name, also has geological hazards in its remit – justified the warning by reminding locals that the March 11, 2011 magnitude 9.0 quake and tsunami that killed nearly 20,000 people had a 7.3 magnitude precursor just two days earlier.

Honduras’s attorney general on Tuesday ordered a warrant for the arrest of drug cartel boss/former President Juan Orlando Hernandez, just days after convicted felon President Trump pardoned him and released him from a US federal prison, the New York Times reports on the case against Hernandez not really being a “Biden con job” the way fat Donald insisted it was.

This was David Ellison this morning, talking about how great of a working relationship he and his dad have with convicted felon President Trump, three minutes before the fat bastard posted a lengthy Truth Social meltdown over CBS’s 60 Minutes interview with Marjorie Taylor Greene.

A few hours later Semafor printed this all-too-brief, likely snactioned leak: “Paramount’s aggressive quest for Warner Bros – which escalated into a hostile $108 billion bid for the company Monday – is backfiring in Washington, where some officials have grown frustrated with widespread speculation that a politicized Justice Department would play favorites for the conservative Ellison family.”

Then this quote from a Trump ally, that the Ellisons “believe the worst possible tropes” about the Trump administration’s rampant corruption and are “leaning into all the stereotypes” about said corruption and bribery opportunities. L-O-fucking-L. What the hell were they supposed to think?

“They thought they were playing 5D chess and they were playing tiddlywinks,” this Trump minion added, evidently trying to imply that Donald has the coordination necessary to play tiddlywinks.

Royal Carribbean Cruise Lines tells CBS News that they “were saddened by the passing of one of our guests, worked with authorities on their investigation, and will refrain from commenting any further on pending litigation,” after getting slapped with a lawsuit by the widow of passenger Michael Virgil, 35, who died on board their “Navigator of the Seas” vessel in the Pacific last December after an… altercation with the crew en route from Los Angeles to Ensenada, Mexico.

To call the incident “alcohol-related” might be an understatement as Virgil was alleged to have consumed no fewer than 33 alcoholic beverages prior to the savage struggle with the crew. The nature of these beverage was unspecified but even if we’re talking watered-down screwdrivers with shitty well vodka and/or those lame 8oz Dos Equis that’s still the equivalent of about 17 to 20 real servings. Stumbling back to his cabin, Virgil got lost and became “agitated.” Exactly how “agitated” was not really specified but first the crew tried to physically subdue him, then hit him with “multiple” cans of pepper spray. Then at some point the captain got involved and ordered the ship’s sick bay staff to inject him with a powerful anti-psychotic called Haloperidol. And then Virgil died.

The lawsuit specifically calls out the cruise line’s all-you-can-drink package as being the main contributor to Virgil’s death, the second such complaint filed in recent months to identify that very obvious factor in a fatal incident. The family of a 66 year-old woman – who fell overboard and drowned during an October 2024 Taylor Swift-themed cruise off Florida – accused the line of the same negligence in a similar lawsuit. “Because of that drink package, she did overdo it, trying to maybe get her money’s worth. She was completely intoxicated in a way I haven’t seen before. It saddens me that that is my last memory of her,” said Megan Klewin of her late mother, Dulcie White.

For the third time in as many weeks, New York Attorney General Letitia James has dickpunched convicted felon President Trump’s regime in court as US District Court Judge Patti Saris on Monday ruled in favor of James and a shit ton of other blue states who had sued to block the fat fuck from enforcing his ban on wind energy projects, a ban put in place simply because Trump hates windmills.

“After review of the parties’ submissions and a hearing, the Court concludes that the Wind Order constitutes a final agency action that is arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law. Accordingly, the Court ALLOWS Plaintiffs’ motions, DENIES the Agency Defendants’ motion, and declares unlawful and VACATES the Wind Order,” Saris wrote, lording over the pile of dead birds.

It’s not clear what, if anything, the Trump Regime had to do with it, but evil White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s brother’s ex-girlfriend, with whom she shares an 11 year-old son – who Karoline herself baptized – was ordered released from the ICE gulag on Monday, USA Today reports.

This sort of extremely quiet reversal has not been unheard of so far in this shitshow of a presidency when the bad publicity flowed in. This case was particularly bad, especially since Karoline’s dickhead older brother had previously threatened his ex, Bruna Carolina Ferreira, with ratting her out to ICE, she told the Washington Post in an interview printed Sunday.

Wow. Further showing her hatred for President Trump, Marjorie Traitor Greene just insinuated that President Trump is “Israel First”.

Shes gone full Democrat. Other reps have said she isn’t even showing up for votes anymore. @mtgreenee is now a full blown Trump hater.

Asked by her home state’s Nexstar affiliate whether she was getting ready to clean out her desk and closet full of stupid fucking costumes, dog-murdering Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday said “No, I don’t have any indication of that. The president is fantastic. I am very proud every single day to be able to work for him. I will serve at the president’s pleasure, which I’m very grateful to get to do and he gives me a wonderful opportunity to do a job that matters for the safety of the American people.” Interesting how she actually remembered to use those canned lines.

“I came to Congress five years ago believing I could make a difference for my constituents, for South Carolina and for a country I love deeply. I was the first woman to graduate from the Citadel’s Corps of Cadets. I don’t scare easily. But I’ve learned that the system in the House promotes control by party leaders over accountability and achievement. No one can be held responsible for inaction, so far too little gets done. The obstacles to achieving almost anything are enough to make any member who came to Washington with noble intentions ask: Why am I even here? The House’s problems didn’t start with this Congress. They’ve been building for decades. The current leadership has failed to reverse it – and in some ways deepened it,” writes Nancy Mace in the New York Times, shitting on Mike Johnson in an op-ed campaigning for South Carolina Governor.

Former parking lot lawyer turned fake US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba gave up her quest to regain her post on Monday, taking her exit ramp job to begin serving as an “advisor” to evil Attorney General Pam Bondi, posting a statement saying “For the past five years, I’ve fought for justice on behalf of the American people, and in my tenure under our great Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, we made New Jersey safer” and lol at the part about “for the past five years,” which would mean she considers being then-former President Trump’s lawyer fighting “for justice on behalf of the American people.” What a freaking douchebag.

And as awful as they are, Bondi and Blanche at least have real experience in the federal court system. What the hell is Habba going to “advise” them on that they don’t already know?

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will on Wednesday intro a resolution condemning the antisemitism or the countenancing it of by neo-Nazi influencer Nick Fuentes, former top Fox News propagandist Tucker Carlson for hosting Fuentes on his show, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, and Trump administration official/Nazi sex pest Paul Ingrassia, Jewish Insider reports.

Smart poison pilling there with the Ingrassia add. Of course it takes only one Republican Senator to block it and hopefully for the GOP caucus’s sake Tommy Tuberville is in town. It could get awkward for any of the others – or not at all if they just let it pass by voice vote and move on.

Top Trump minion Stephen Miller is leading the charge to get dog-murdering Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fired, MS Now’s Jake Traylor reports, adding it’s mostly because she isn’t building ICE gulags fast enough and, secondarily, Republican governors are call the White House to complain about her slow disbursement of FEMA disaster recovery and relief funding.
