VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump stunt blows up in his face in humiliating fashion
For all his many, many (wow, so many) character defects, Donald is not without some talent — particularly when it comes to PR stunts. Unfortunately for Trump, even those skills are letting him down these days. Standing beside a self-described “DoorDash Grandma” who had just dropped off an order of McDonald’s, America’s nincompoop-in-chief tried to rope his unsuspecting political prop into a bullshit culture-war debate. Sadly for Trump, DoorDash Grandma was having none of it.
When pressed by the president to chime in on the phantom plague of “men playing in women’s sports,” she refused to take the bait, responding, “I really don’t have an opinion on that… I’m here about ‘no tax on tips.'”
DoorDash Grandma actually lives in Arkansas, by the way, so nothing about this event was impromptu. Which made her refusal to steer off topic, join Trump in the gutter, and give him the viral clip he was clearly angling for all the more remarkable.

Trump claims controversial post depicting him as Jesus was actually him as a doctor
To be fair, our imbecile-in-chief probably wouldn’t be able to pick Jesus out of a lineup… But we digress. When asked more than a decade ago to share any of his favorite verses from the Bible — his “favorite book” — Trump famously responded, “I wouldn’t want to get into it. Because to me, that’s very personal. The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics.” Oh, we know, Donnie.

Anti-corruption crusader takes on one of the most corrupt Republicans in Congress
Page Cognetti for Congress: Paige Cognetti was elected mayor of Scranton, PA, on a platform of cleaning up the grift and the graft that sapped away so many important public resources. She did such a good job that PA voters re-elected her twice — and now she’s aiming to do the same in Congress. So devoted to anti-corruption that she won’t even use a government car, Cognetti is in a perfect position to take out Republican Rob Bresnahan, who got elected promising to end insider trading and then immediately became one of the most prolific insider traders in Congress. Will you chip in to help Paige Cognetti clean up Republican corruption and flip the House blue?
JD Vance, devout Catholic, says Trump’s blasphemous AI post was just a joke
Quick question: are sociopathic tendencies a prerequisite for the job or is there some sort of MAGA mystery elixir these clowns chug down at Mar-a-Lago to turn out this way? We’re old enough to remember when Vance was a “never Trumper” who famously dubbed Donald “America’s Hitler.” The MAGA cult leader is nowhere near disciplined nor serious enough to be the devil, but it sure seems like JD sold him his soul all the same.
Nearly 100 arrested in New York after demanding Democrats block bombs to Israel
More than 300 people protested outside of the New York offices of Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand Monday to oppose sending US weapons to Israel. At least 90 protesters were arrested, among them Chelsea Manning, a former US soldier and whistleblower who leaked hundreds of thousands of military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks in 2011, as well as New York City Council Member Alexa Avilés. The protests were organized by Jewish Voice for Peace and the Sunrise Movement. According to JVP, the protesters consisted of US military veterans as well as Jewish, Palestinian, Iranian, and Lebanese New Yorkers.
GOP House candidate, aka The AK Guy, joked about shooting Obama voters
Man, the folks who call Texas’ 23rd congressional district home just cannot catch a break. Donald Trump and the Republican Party are asking voters to send Brandon Herrera, a Confederacy-loving, far-right YouTube “gun influencer” who once openly joked about shooting Obama voters to replace disgraced Rep. Tony Gonzales, who could not outrun the disturbing sex scandal of his own making that ended with the death of an ex-staffer by self-immolation.
Herrera, a Civil War reenactor and Confederate cosplay enthusiast who also has been known to crack jokes about the Holocaust and thinks heiling Hitler is hilarious, won the predictable endorsement from Dementia Don himself, who promised the antisemite would “[p]rotect our always under siege Second Amendment.” Trump went all in, thumb-smashing, “HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Something tells us he definitely will.
