VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump walloped with bad news in must-win state
Trump’s betrayal of four-term Republican incumbent John Cornyn in last week’s bruising GOP Senate primary has upended the calculus for the upcoming midterm elections and put Texas in play for Democrats, according to new polling. A full 30% of Cornyn voters have signaled their intention to cross the aisle and vote for rising Democratic star James Talarico rather than cast a ballot for the scandal-plagued state attorney general, Ken Paxton.

Hell, the National Republican Senatorial Committee went on the record calling Paxton “repulsive” and “unfit” for office, qualities that clearly weren’t dealbreakers for Donald when he gifted him his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” May Trump’s many chickens come home to roost in November.

Trump tells Americans to “sit back and relax” in 1 AM social media rant about Iran
Gaslighting the American public at the very reasonable hour of one in the morning is the super normal behavior we’ve come to expect from the 79-year-old imbecile-in-chief who can’t stay awake during afternoon meetings in the Oval Office. Also, bonus audacity points for the guy always doing the barking, name-calling, and ALL-CAPS temper-tantruming telling the rest of us to “relax.”

New poll shows Gina Hinojosa within striking distance of MAGA loony Greg Abbott
Gina Hinojosa for Texas: Gov. Greg Abbott has become a national figure for his astonishing mismanagement, breathtaking corruption, and shocking cruelty. He’s the man who stripped Medicaid from two millions Texans, most of them kids. He’s the man who has spent years trying to privatize our public school systems and funneled a billion taxpayer dollars into the pockets of his donors. He’s the man who refused to use state money to feed kids during the SNAP freeze. Former school board president Gina Hinojosa is running to put an end to Abbott’s depravity once and for all — and a new poll shows her within single digits after just a few months of campaigning. Will you chip in to help her take advantage of Abbott’s barrel-bottom 32% (!) approval rating and turn Texas blue?

Trump makes puzzling claim on Iran — now says “we’ve actually left their military alone” after previously saying US “completely destroyed” it
During a “fair and balanced” interview on Fox News with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, America’s imbecile-in-chief claimed that the US miltary actually left Iran’s military alone, directly refuting the numerous times he’s bragged about “completely destroying” it over the past three months.

Donald may think his incessant bullshitting and constant lying serve like coats of paint, covering up whatever nonsense he said before, but the public simply isn’t buying it; just 1 in 3 people approve of his handling of the incredibly costly conflict that has now entered its fourth month with no clear end in sight.

Federal lawyers are fleeing Trump administration in droves
Just spitballing here, but perhaps Donald’s total disregard and outright contempt for the rule of law is rubbing people who dedicated their professional lives to upholding the Constitution the wrong way?

Virginia passes new law to properly teach the truth about January 6
Virginia has made history by passing a truly, um, radical law — one that requires schools to teach that Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021 was, in fact, a violent attack on democracy, rather than the simple tourist gathering that groups like Turning Point USA, the Heritage Foundation, and Moms for Liberty have been desperately pitching. Apparently, in 2026, “don’t blatantly lie to children about a failed insurrection that was broadcast on live TV” is considered newsworthy legislation.

Big Five home insurers denied nearly half of all claims in 2025
Meanwhile, premiums have been on a steady march upward, and the US property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry enjoyed record-high earnings of $135.9 BILLION last year. Any questions?

Mike Pence says Trump’s $1.8 billion “slush fund” for allies, including insurrectionists who shouted to hang him, is “deeply offensive”
Correct! Also deeply offensive? Carrying the wannabe dictator’s incredibly dirty water throughout his entire first term when the former vice president knew full well exactly what kind of man Donald Trump was — and always has been. The MAGA cult leader is nothing if not consistently amoral and self-serving, and his insurrection slush fund is on-brand as ever. Spare us the mock outrage, Mike.

Far-right Israeli minister who urged IDF soldiers to “seize babies” and “dash them against rocks” marches with Chuck Schumer in Israel Day Parade
Israel’s brazenly genocidal Minister for the Development of the Periphery Itzhak Wasserlauf and Minister of Finance Ben Smotrich, who has a warrant for his arrest from the ICC for crimes against humanity, apartheid, and war crimes, openly marched in New York City’s “Israel Day Parade” alongside Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other prominent New York Democrats.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani chose not to attend and was predictably lambasted for his decision to not stand with the far-right architects of the decimation of Gaza. Let us remind you that over half of Democratic voters feel that our party is too supportive of Israel, and it’s things like this that make it easy to see why.
