“I’m a hard yes”: Hakeem Jeffries announces support for Hegseth impeachment
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” and emphatically backed kicking Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth to the curb.

“I’m a hard yes on the Hegseth [impeachment] resolution. The so-called secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the American people and made the country less safe,” Jeffries said. “Pete Hegseth has got to go.”

Set ’em up, knock ’em down. We’ve got ten frames to bowl and then some.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump called out for his naked corruption in withering, one-on-one interview
The MAGA cult leader sat down for a lengthy one-on-one “60 Minutes” interview with conservative correspondent Ross Douthat and laughably tried to explain away his massive accumulation of wealth during his second presidency. When pressed on why he would not simply divest from his business ventures to avoid any obvious conflicts of interest, the president claimed his sons were running the show and he had no input in how his personal wealth ballooned into the billions over the past two years alone.

Somehow, we don’t think Donald’s explanation — “I have no idea what the hell they’re buying” — will reassure anyone. Lest you need reminding, this is the same fella who spent years kicking and screaming about the “Biden crime family” and laughably called Joe Biden the most corrupt president in US history.

All hands on deck to ensure EVERY vote is counted in Alaska
Mary Peltola for Alaska: The undecided Alaska Senate race is neck and neck, and we need to make sure that EVERY vote is counted to hand Democrats an EIGHTH Senate pickup and expand our majority. But in a deep-red state controlled by Republicans, there are all sorts of opportunities for shenanigans. Will you chip in to help fund Mary Peltola’s vote-counting operation and ensure that the people’s will is respected?

Trump says he’ll never forgive his enemies — even before God when he dies: “I do hate some”
In the same “60 Minutes” interview last night, the president was asked point bank what he thinks will happen when he dies and, true to form, completely missed the point.

“Well, I hope I’m missed. I hope I’m missed, I don’t know… I think I’ve done a good job as…” Trump said. When Ross Douthat reframed the question, Donald responded, “You mean where I go? Well, I’m a religious person, so in theory I go to heaven.”

Moments after telling Douthat that he did not want to end up in Hell, the president freely admitted that forgiving his political enemies to walk through the pearly gates was, in all likelihood, a deal breaker. “I probably cannot do that, no, because I do hate some of my enemies and I always will,” Trump noted.

No one will ever accuse Donald Trump of not being petty to the bone, right down to the bitter end. Do they award points for consistency in Heaven? Asking for a fiend.

Trump urges MAGA to pressure senators over data center expansion
Proving that he learned absolutely nothing from last week’s midterm bludgeoning, America’s gaslighter-in-chief implored the MAGA faithful to call their senators and voice support for a data center expansion bill that more than two-thirds of the country definitely does not want. So unpopular are data centers, in fact, that voters across the country approved 40 out of the 41 ballot measures that had been proposed to rein them in.

Katie Miller bails on struggling podcast after her white nationalist hubby Stephen named chief of staff
Oh no! Where will folks turn to for glazing glow-ups of the Mar-a-Lago mafia?! With a Spotify listener rating of 1.8 out of 5, we just don’t know if the industry can afford to lose such a critical voice in the podcast space.

Bernie Sanders explains how the new Democratic Congress can take an “immediate first step to Medicare for All”
Sen. Bernie Sanders urged Democrats to use their new congressional majorities to lower the Medicare eligibility age by 10 years’ expand the program to children; and add dental, vision, and hearing coverage — steps that the progressive senator said would put the country on a path toward a long-overdue Medicare for All system.

Sanders argued that each proposal he outlined “can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation,” a filibuster-proof budget process that would allow Democrats in the upper chamber to approve legislation without Republican support.

Any Democratic bill would still face Donald Trump’s veto pen — but if we just let the narcissist-in-chief name it after himself he just might go for it.

Elon Musk confirms that thousands of Cybertruck buyers won’t be getting their vehicles
Phony Stark confirmed on Monday that thousands of customers who put down deposits for Cybertrucks will not be getting their bratmobiles after all, following Friday’s announcement that production on the maligned vehicle will cease in 2027. Looks like bros will just have to find a different way of letting the world know how truly insufferable they are. Something tells us they’ll figure it out.

Former top RFK Jr. adviser flatly accuses Trump officials of corruption
Calley Means, who helped found the “Make America Healthy Again” movement and helped forge the winning alliance between Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2024, just quit his post as RFK Jr.’s top aid at the Dept. of Health and Human Services and is not exiting the building quietly.

During an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” yesterday, Means accused former chief of staff Susie Wiles and “a very close-knit crew” of other top White House advisers of “taking money from the industries we ran on fighting against.”

“Underneath Trump’s nose, in many cases, you had a group of former lobbyists, catering to the vaping industry, catering to the ultra-processed food industry, catering to the pharmaceutical industry, catering to the pesticide industry and doing their bidding with an excuse that we need their money for the midterms and really need to actually go against what voters said,” Means admitted. Shocking.
