VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump infuriates his own party with insane announcement
The bipartisan housing bill is the one, singular piece of legislation that Congress has passed in TWO YEARS that could conceivably deliver any kind of material benefits to the American people. So naturally, Trump hates it and dismissed it as “unimportant” and a “big yawn” in the Oval Office yesterday while trying to redirect attention to his election-steal “SAVE” Act, which is dying on the vine in the Senate.

“It’s very bipartisan — that means the Democrats like it, and it’s maybe, even, it’s probably maybe more, that way they’re getting things that I wouldn’t necessarily agree to. Nobody knows more about housing in the history of the presidency. Nobody did well like me in housing. I made a lot of money with housing. But when I look at that bill, it’s a bill,” said Trump, as usual thinking only of himself. Republican leadership, watching their poll numbers drop further and further with each passing week, will surely appreciate their cult leader poo-pooing the one good thing they’ve done since he returned to office.

DC’s record-breaking fireworks delayed until after 11pm as Trump turns July 4 celebration into another MAGA rally
American families hoping to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday in Washington, DC, this Saturday will have to wait until at least 11pm, on account of our wannabe dictator’s decision to commandeer his own Great American State Fair for yet another airing-of-the-many-grievances pep rally “speech” on the National Mall.

More than 850,000 pyrotechnic effects are expected to be launched over the capital that night, but not before the MAGA gasbag takes center stage and blows his noxious top for a few hours beforehand. Apologies to anyone with young kids hoping to make core memories this holiday weekend. An 80-year-old man-child has some primetime complainin’ to do first.

Meet the Democrats who are going to reclaim our congressional majority!
Red to Blue: There are 20 Democrats running to flip vulnerable red seats in the House, and their must-win races are the key to us retaking Congress and making Mike Johnson’s majority nothing but a bad memory. All of these Democratic candidates are locked in close races in Republican-held districts, and every dollar might make the difference in helping the Democrats regain control of the House. The Democrats in these races are united by their desire to fight for hardworking families in their districts — not the billionaires bankrolling Republicans’ corrupt and divisive machine. Will you chip in a donation to be split among ALL these candidates to help kick the GOP out of the House?

Fox News bends over backwards to make Trump’s State Fair seem crowded but cameras won’t lie
The sycophants over at Fox are gonna need a really good chiropractor by the time they’re finished running cover for Trump’s Great American State Flop.

Trump seethes over Supreme Court losses in series of Truth Social posts
America’s wannabe dictator took to social media on Monday to both celebrate and seethe over the Supreme Court’s rulings, which handed him expanded power over the executive branch but also blocked a key Republican voting initiative.

SCOTUS rulings yesterday ran the gamut, including a big win for privacy rights advocates, a big loss for Donald and his never-ending quest to avoid any accountability for his abhorrent sexual behavior, and a deeply troubling expansion of executive branch powers that upended 91 years of precedent previously established by the high court.

Trump also suffered a “tremendous loss” in his bid to thwart the democratic process, as justices ruled 5-4 that states can continue counting absentee ballots received after Election Day.

MAGA Senate nominee let child sex offender off the hook as US attorney
No, we aren’t talking about Ken Paxton, the MAGA Senate nominee backed by Donald Trump in Texas who let a serial pedophile walk after just 30 days in jail earlier this year. Today’s Worst Person of the Week™ award goes to Montana Republican Kurt Alme, who cut a plea deal in 2020 that let a former police officer and convicted pedophile serve less than a year in prison and avoid having to register as a sex offender after sexually abusing a 6-year-old child. Alme, mind you, received Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement” this past spring. Let’s hear it for the party of FaMiLy VaLuEs!
