I Didn't Say It ...

Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected Democrat mayor of New York City, in his acceptance speech:

“Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that [Cankles] has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall. No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election. So, if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only how we stop [Cankles], it’s how we stop the next one. So, [Cankles] since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up. New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me [Cankles] when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

He has his work cut out for him but he ran a fantastic campaign and got younger people out to vote and riled the party into action.

In a world of Schiff’s and Shumer’s et al, be a Mamdani!

Michael Che,  actor, writer, and stand-up comic from SNL’s Weekend Update, speaking out against the GOP attacks on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP]:

“This SNAP freeze is really fucked up. And I keep seeing a lotta racist videos celebrating [mostly Black] families not being able to buy groceries … there’s this weird idea that since some people have taken advantage of welfare benefits in the hood, nobody should receive help, at all? This country is built on greedy motherfuckers taking shortcuts and gaming the system to their benefits, but for some reason, when poor people find a way to turn a nickel into a dime, they’re judges more severey, especially Blacks. I know the whole hustle is to hate each other here so we can fight in the comments and up our engagements … but let’s draw thew line at feeding the poor.. I grew up on free cheese and powdered milk and waiting for your friends to leave the store so they [wouldn’t] see me pay with stamps … that shit ain’t as glamorous as it sounds. I promise.”

Bam! The GOP wants y’all to believe that folks on welfare and using SNAP benefits are buying lobster and champagne—though, so what if they are—because the right wants to control and keep down those less fortuante, those in need of assistance, those of color.

Welfare isn’t glamorous but it’s necessary even if some folks abuse the system like, oh I don’t know, those Congressman still collecting a paycheck when they haven’t worked in weeks and weeks … talk about welfare, the House is vacationing on our dime.

JB Pritzker, Democrat governor of Illinois, speaking at the Illinois Federation of Teachers’ convention:

“[Cankles] and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. Republicans want to take billions away from public schools and pump it into private institutions. They want to punish teachers for telling the truth. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but [Cankles] and his cronies can fuck all the way off.”

I truly believe the GOP would like to keep the rich getting rich, and everyone else, poor and uneducated. I mean, how else can they guarantee themselves a win unless they create an electorate that believes their lies?

Ruben Gallego, Arizona Democratic Senator, floating the idea to name the new White House ballroom after former President Barack Obama once Cankles is dead, gone, or in prison:

"I think to really mess with him, just name it the Barack Obama Ballroom, and that will take care of half the problem. This is a distraction. First of all, he should not have done that. This is the People's House. Two, where is the president? He's focusing on the ballroom, he's focusing on everything [else], but he's not focused on what's happening right now: inflation's still high, people can't buy what they need to buy, energy's still high ... This is a Marie Antoinette talking about 'Let them eat cake' while Americans are struggling right now. What I would like him to do is focus on this to make sure we can actually get costs down, people can actually make a good standard of living right now and pay what they need to survive instead of focusing on all these little projects."

I think we should keep calling it The Jeffrey Epstein Ballroom while Cankles is in office, but as soon as we take that house back, perhaps the Barack and Michelle Obama Ballroom for The People?

Billie Eilish, singer, calling out billionaires at the  WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards directly to their faces:

“We're in a time right now where the world is really, really bad and really dark and people need empathy and help more than kind of ever, especially in our country. And I'd say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to some people that need it. Love you all, but there's a few people in here that have a lot more money than me and if you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”

Eilish—who has an estimated net worth of $50 million—put her money where her mouth is by donating$11.5 million, or 23% of her wealth, of the proceeds from her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to support organizations fighting for food equity, climate justice, reducing carbon pollution, and combatting the climate crisis.

On the flip side, in 2015, Mark and Priscilla Zuckerberg pledged to give away 99% of their shares in Meta to philanthropy over their lifetimes, and they've given away more than $7B to date; the Zuckerberg’s net worth is $232.1 billion, so they have given away ).03% of their wealth.

Gio Benitez, ABC correspondent,  on coming out at 24 and healing his inner child:

“You think about all the worries you have growing up. You spend so much time in your head thinking about that. For me, I think it was obviously growing up gay and keeping that a secret. And that was something that I didn’t talk to anyone about really till I was 24 years old. And so I think that you worry, ‘Will that hold me back’? And at the time, the message from society kind of was, ‘yeah it would.’ And there was nobody, I thought, like me at the time on television, so I didn’t have an example to point to. And so this is something of a dream that I always had, but could being myself prevent me from having that dream? And that was a worry that I always had. And so that’s why today I would say chill out. It’s all going to be OK. That person is still inside all of us. We constantly have to talk to that little kid inside because they’re there. They are a part of us. They were there through the most monumental parts of our lives. And they’re still there.”

Talk to that little kid, yes, but talk to real people, too, coming out everywhere you can. It makes the march easier and paves the way for others to follow ….

I Didn't Say It ...

Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayoral candidate, honoring trailblazing Hispanic transgender activist Sylvia Rivera in a new campaign ad in which he pledged to “deploy hundreds of lawyers” to fight Cankle’s anti-trans attacks and make New York City a sanctuary city for trans people:

“It was here on the physical margins of our city that they found a home. [Rivera] arrived here at the age of 11, where she immediately landed in the center of the gay rights movement. She befriended the legendary Marsha P. Johnson, protested at Stonewall, and led marches for equality. But even among the queer community, trans New Yorkers were excluded. Rivera and others were discouraged from walking in Pride, their participation erased from Stonewall history. When she had nowhere left to turn, she would sleep here [upon the Christopher Street Piers], waves lapping nearby. Top of FormYet no matter what hardships she faced, Sylvia Rivera advocated for others. Since taking office, [Cankles] has waged a scorched-earth campaign against trans people. The man with the most power has expended enormous energy targeting those with the least. New York will not sit idly by while trans people are attacked. We will deploy hundreds of lawyers to combat [Cankles’] hate, make New York City an LGBTQIA+ sanctuary city, and create the office of LGBTQIA+ affairs to allocate millions for youth and adult housing programs as well as gender-affirming care. We can’t bring Sylvia back, but we can honor her memory by building a city where trans New Yorkers are cherished. In a time of darkness, New York must be the light.”

Mamdani noted that Rivera co-founded Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries [STAR], an organization that helped feed and house trans youth and advocated for trans inclusion in city and statewide non-discrimination bills up to her final days.

Sanctuary cities often offer trans residents a place where they can pursue gender-affirming care and enjoy municipal recognition of their gender identities without fear of city officials assisting anti-trans investigations from out-of-town transphobic government officials.

Good on Mamdani standing up for the most disenfranchised in our community.

Thomas Massie, GOP representative from Kentucky, taking on the GOP Speaker of the House, Little Johnson, for his lies:

Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.”

Fact. Listen to Little Johnson stutter and stammer and Good Christian Lie™ over why the GOP is staying home and see that none of it makes sense. Johnson is trying to save Cankles from the Epstein scandal and letting Americans suffer through a shutdown as an excuse. He is hiding the GOP like a little coward.

Rachel Maddow, out MSNBC journalist, on the idea of ending the  Voting Rights Act:

“The movement to end the Voting Rights Act is a movement that is deathly afraid of the fact that there’s no longer going to be a white majority in this country within 20 years. They want to guarantee all-white one-party rule that’s impervious to those Democratic changes, and they do not want people who are not white to have a shot at political power anymore!”

In 2025 white men are still afraid of other … brown-skinned people, dark-skinned people, women, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, people of a different faith …

Perhaps We The People should only vote for the disenfranchised and vote out every single white male who is terrified of ceding power to us.

Jeff Tiedrich, a prominent figure in American politics, political blogger, graphics designer, musician and resister of the regime, on Rafael ‘Ted’ Cruz, and his ignorance of the No Kings protests:

“Ted Cruz, you odious dumbfuck. Do you actually think George Soros is cutting seven million paychecks for the protestors? I have a question: is Soros withholding taxes and issuing 1099s, or do we need to be keeping track of that shit ourselves? Is an inflatable frog costume a deductible business expense?”

Tiedrich has long been in the resistance, taking on Cankles and the lapdogs who worship him. He is worth a follow on Bluesky.

photo

JB Pritzker, Illinois Democrat governor, on Cankles assertion that Chicago is another “war zone” in America:

“They’re making things up to go after people. I’m going to stand up for the people of my state. And we’ve got to all stand together because that there are truly unconstitutional actions that are coming out of this administration, coming at the states and the people of the United States and all of us, Democrats and Republicans, need to speak out about it. It’s true that the president says things and sometimes he follows through on those threats, and he certainly has the power of the presidency. He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution. And so, am I afraid? I am not afraid. Do I think that he could do it? He might. But as I’ve said before, come and get me.”

It's odd that Cankles attacks Chicago and DC and Portland, and perhaps soon LA and San Francisco, because all of those cities have a great many Republicans and MAGAts living there, and he will punish his own supporters to try and stay in office.

And if he punishes his own people now, what will He do later.

photo

John Oliver, Last Week Tonight host, on Bari Weiss, the newly appointed MAGAt editor-in-chief of CBS news:

“It is worth keeping an eye out for subtle changes there because, while I’m sure many of CBS’ good journalists will continue to do great work, if you start seeing people resigning or getting fired, or you start seeing stories that seem off in some way, especially if it involves the left going too far on a topic Bari Wise cares about, it’s worth asking yourself why that might be, because unfortunately the much bigger answer might be that a billionaire has chosen to inject contrarian right-leaning opinion journalism into an American icon.”

Weiss works outside of the current org chart by reporting directly to Paramount CEO David Ellison, while The Free Press will remain a stand-alone business outside of CBS News. He cautioned his viewers to pay attention to any differences in the news organization going forward.

Pay attention and get ready to boycott.

I Didn't Say It ...

Mark King, HIV/AIDS activist, looking back on his life, and the struggle today, of living with HIV and how it compares to the dark days of this regime:

Bottom of Form

“My joy is a big fuck you to AIDS. My joy is a big f**k you to [Cankles]. Even in the most murderous days of the AIDS epidemic, we had a sense of humor … Putting an enormous condom over the home of Senator Jesse Helms was hilarious. Crisis hotlines are being unplugged. HIV prevention and treatment is being unplugged. People will die. It might not seem as immediate and in your face as what I had to face, but it’s there. I’m tired of internalizing that. I am fucking fabulous. I’m not going to take on the characteristics that people have put on this disease. If it’s going to live in me, it’s going to take on my characteristics, not the other way around. The collective voices of HIV positive people … are a roadmap to how we deal with adversity. It might be a cliché in the gay men’s community, at least, that you have a certain expiration date. Suddenly, you are invisible in the bars and the grocery stores. It takes a certain generosity of spirit from somebody like me to not want to go around and just tell my tragedy and instead say, this is something that happened to me that gives me the capacity to have more empathy for someone else, and that I can bring that experience into any conversation without saying it. All of those cameras in the ’80s trained on all of those white bodies. Why weren’t they trained on the Black allies that were there beside us? Because Black people dying was nothing new. It was new that white, privileged people were dying … The resistance today looks a lot more like our actual community. They often say about this current administration that cruelty is the point. Racism is the point. Transphobia is the point. That’s a winning strategy for them… So we cannot shy away from those political talking points that we think are losing points for us just because it makes people uncomfortable. There’s nothing wrong with being uncomfortable. It’s growth, and we need that growth in our own community. Don’t let them lop off letters from LGBTQ as if it will hold the wolves at bay a little longer. It’s not going to. They’re coming for all of us. [But] we paved the way. We put our bodies on the line so that somebody else might live better, longer, healthier. That’s good enough for me. Find the joy in the next piece of cake. Write outside the lines. Do something naughty… This is as corny as it gets, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned in 40 years, it’s that we are here to help somebody else. This life can be scary… and we’re here to make the ride a little less scary for someone else. Help somebody else. That’s the sort of thing you’re supposed to knit into a throw pillow, but it’s true.”

King has been through it all, more than once, and is here and still fighting HIV/AIDS stigma and now also fighting this fascist hate-filled regime.

Join in.

Mark Hertling, retired Lt. General, on Pete Hegseth’s speech before the military leaders:

“This was a disciplinary approach in public so the whole nation could see. And it was an attempt at separating the military institution from the people they defend. And I guarantee you that the people in that audience will not execute any illegal orders. We’ve been saying that for a long time.”

I hope he’s right; I hope our military leaders stand up against this authoritarian regime and stop this.

photo

Pink, singer and activist, on this regime:

“Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay person’s business or marriage, or that racism is okay—then please, in the name of your Lord, never fucking listen to my music again. And also, fuck right off. We good?”

This is resistance and standing up and speaking up and we need more of it from our leaders and from our friends and neighbors.

photo

JB Pritzker, Illinois Democrat Governor, taking on the madness of Cankles:

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia. This is a man who has something stuck in his head. He can’t get it out of his head. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities. And then, unfortunately, he has the power of the military, the power of the federal government to do his bidding, and that’s what he’s doing.”

Remember when he and the GOP attacked Joe Biden? That’s the strategy; every GOP accusation is an admission.

photo

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat Representative and icon for the people, on Democrats versus Republicans:

“Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We’re not doing it. It isn’t a question of, ‘Let’s come back together so we can discuss it.’ That isn’t going to happen.”

Pelosi, putting the needs and wants of many, the ability to help those that need it most, over the greed and wants of a handful of narcissistic billionaires.

Once again, Nancy stands up to Cankles.

photo

Steve Schmidt, GOP strategist who ran John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign , on Cankles:

"[Cankles] has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a [Cankles] presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness. When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities. It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk.”

Take no prisoners. Every single vile, hate-filled, racist, fascist, criminal thing that happened here, from erasing history and transgender Americans, to invading our own cities, to denying healthcare to the poorest among us, can be traced back to the gelatinous, cankled traitor at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Ain't That America XIV ... All Good Bits

So, we’ve had weeks and weeks of fascism and pedophiles, of ICEstapo raids and COVIDIOTS … so I figured I’d focus on some good news, some resistance, some people taking stands against the Regime …

The Regime is going after anti-Felon politicians—like a governor on the Federal Reserve Board, a Democratic US senator and a Democrat state attorney general—who got lower mortgage rates by claiming more than one primary residence on their loan papers. But he’s said not one word about the three members of his Junk Drawer who call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages, like Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin.

Huh, it smells like hypocrisy.

In an effort to ensure more New Yorkers can get the latest Covid vaccines, Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul is planning to sign an executive order that would authorize pharmacists to provide the shot to almost anyone who wants it.

Saving lives while, once again, The Felon’s Regime does the exact opposite.

Also, Colorado’s top health official issued an order allowing pharmacists to provide COVID-19 vaccines without a prescription allowing anyone 6 months or older to receive the updated COVID-19 vaccines at a pharmacy.

Again, Blue states work to save people’s lives.

More than 1,000 current and former employees of the Department of Health and Human Services are demanding that Not-A-Doctor-But-A-Heroin-Addict Robert F. Kennedy Jr. resign, following his ousting of the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other actions they say are “compromising the health of the nation”: 

“Should he decline to resign, we call upon the President and U.S. Congress to appoint a new Secretary of Health and Human Services, one whose qualifications and experience ensure that health policy is informed by independent and unbiased peer-reviewed science. We expect those in leadership to act when the health of Americans is at stake.”

But Cankles and Brainworm don’t seem to care about the health of Americans.

A three-judge panel of the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals, one of the most conservative federal appeals courts in the country, has ruled that The Felon cannot use an 18th-century wartime law to speed the deportations of people his administration accuses of membership in a Venezuelan gang. 

Immigrant rights lawyers and lower court judges had argued the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was not intended to be used against gangs like Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan group Cankles targeted in his March invocation.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs has invalidated The Regime’s freeze of $2.2 billion worth of federal grants to Harvard University after Harvard and employee groups sued, agreeing it ran afoul of constitutional free speech protections and federal law.

A new bruise has appeared on President Cankle’s left hand, adding to the one he’s had on his right hand for months, amid mounting questions about his health.

It's all pus and bile in there are he rots from the inside out.

Hundreds of people marched along Washington Avenue in Miami to protest Florida’s order to remove rainbow-painted crosswalks. The demonstration, called the “Forever Proud March,” was organized by Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez and the Greater Miami LGBT Chamber of Commerce.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, who was at the protest, said the state’s directive was arbitrary and harmful, arguing that the designs make intersections safer for people and serve as symbols of inclusion and memorials to those in the LGBTQ+ community murdered at Pulse nightclub.

A federal judge has blocked the Regime from conducting fast-track deportations of people detained far from the southern border, removing, for now, one of the cornerstones of President Cankle’s campaign to conduct mass deportations.

Such quick deportations, known as expedited removal, have been conducted for decades, but they were concentrated among people arrested at or near the southern border. The Regime sought to expand the practice nationwide, to hasten the removal of people arrested deep inside the country.

Iowa GOP Senator Joni “We’re all gonna die” says she won’t seek reelection in 2026. And several Iowa Democrats have already jumped into the race, including state Senator Zach Wahls, state Representative Josh Turek, and Des Moines School Board chairperson Jackie Norris.

Bye Felicia.

Alabama GOP Representative Barry Moore exited a town hall in his home district through the back door last week after facing relentless heckling. He ran out, tail between his legs, after responding to a question on the Regime’s mass deportation efforts.

Moore was repeatedly mocked and laughed at, grilled and interrupted as he tried to respond to people’s questions that stemmed from their frustration over Medicaid cuts, rural hospitals, tariffs, immigration, abortion and the deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C.

The Resistance at work.

Portugal President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa says President Cankles “is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He operates as an asset … the new American leadership has strategically benefited the Russian Federation.”

The US is failing and falling thanks to the fascist.

Federal prosecutors were unable to secure a felony assault indictment against Sean Dunn, who threw a sammich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month.

The remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington DC, and one Judge Jeanine “Box Wine” Pirro, was the second time in recent days that it was unable to persuade grand jurors to bring an indictment in this case. This is a sharp rebuke by ordinary citizens against the team of prosecutors who are dealing with the fallout from The Regime’s move to send National Guard troops and federal agents into the city on patrol.

The Resistance is real.

The California Supreme Court denied Republicans’ petition asking the court to stop state officials from putting a redistricting measure on the ballot – the second GOP challenge to the state’s redistricting it’s thrown out in one week. The decision appears to smooth the way for the measure to appear on the ballot in November.

Fighting fire with fire.

A grand jury declined for a third time to indict Sidney Lori Reid, a Washington DC woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an inmate swap with ICE in another loss federal prosecutors and US Attorney Jeanine “Box Wine” Pirro’s office.

Grand juries decline to indict, known as a “no true bill,” in only a small fraction of federal cases so this is another case of We The People standing up the fascism.

US District Judge Thomas Cullen, who normally sits in Virginia but was assigned the case because the Maryland judges could not participate, dismissed an unusual Regime lawsuit against every federal judge in Maryland over a standing order that limits the government’s ability to quickly deport immigrants.

At issue was a standing order issued by Chief Judge George Russell on May 21 and updated a week later that described how federal judges in Maryland should handle cases involving immigrants facing an imminent risk of deportation. The order imposes a temporary stay of deportation for two business days while a case is considered.

Illinois Democrat Governor JB Pritzker:

“To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.”

The media is complicit in the Regime’s plot to destroy America.

Judge Paula Xinis, who has been dealing with Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case for nearly five months plans to “move as fast as is just” in considering his petition and has asked his lawyers and DOJ prosecutors to propose a schedule for briefings and a hearing to consider questions such as whether Abrego Garcia should be allowed to be deported to a country of his choice and whether he might face danger if sent to Uganda.

In the meantime, she ruled that the government was barred from re-expelling Abrego Garcia, now being held in an ICE facility in Virginia, but given that Pammy Jo Bondi has a long history of flouting her orders, the judge made sure they understood her:

“Your clients [referring to administration officials] are absolutely forbidden at this juncture to remove Mr. Abrego Garcia from the continental United States.”

Snap.

A Utah district judge has ruled that the state must redraw its congressional districts because the state’s GOP-controlled Legislature erred when it overruled a ballot measure passed by voters that sought to rein in partisan gerrymandering. The ruling adds yet another wrinkle to the national battle for control of Congress next year and how the congressional map is evolving ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

All four of Utah’s current US House reps are Republicans.

Florida GOP Representative Anna Paulina Luna-tic thinks Cankles deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for securing “some of the largest tax cuts in history” for billionaires and for “continuing to broker world peace.”

Okay, Crazy, but then you also said that Cankle’s Slovenian Hooker Wife “might also have a nomination” because “she’s been very instrumental in discussions with Russia. And also, too, I think that she’s going to be a key reason why we’re able to broker peace with Ukraine.”

Dear Goddess, this is stupid even for Flori-duh.

Texas state troopers are following follow Democratic lawmakers’ every move to ensure they vote on redistricting and so one lawmaker, Democrat Representative Venton Jones, one of the few out lawmakers in the state, met with fellow Democratic state Representative Terry Meza at the Rose Room … a gay bar in Dallas’ Oak Lawn.

That’s how it’s done.

As The Regime tells conflicting lies about the severity of crime in Washington, emerging stories show that federal law enforcement in the city is wasting its time on minor violations to justify the administration’s falsehoods. White House Press Secretary KKKarolying Leavitt says that FBI data released in January showing a drop in crime is inaccurate.

Leavitt’s statement also deceptively argues that The Regime deserves credit for the drop in crime—statistics show crime in DC at a 30-year-low—reflect data collected in 2024 … when Joe Biden was president.

Now the National Guard is in DC picking up trash, laying down mulch, and stopping “violent” criminals who aren’t wearing seatbelts or have broken taillights.

The Department of Homeland Security, under DogKiller and Cosplay Actor, KKKristi Noem, blindsided Argentina by unexpectedly pausing a visa-waiver agreement as officials from Buenos Aires were already en route to Washington DC to sign the deal. The snub was the result of a lack of communication and organization by KKKristi, more proof that she is woefully inept at her job.

There you have it, some resistance, some court rulings, some lunacy calling itself GOP and now you know what needs to be done …

Ain't That America XIII

Here we go again … the GOP doing everything from lying and cheating to hating and acting foolish … to a good step for LGBTQ+ Americans ... to one of Krist's Koncentration Kamps closing ... to losing in court and forcing Miss Lindsey to her fainting couch … so let’s dish …

Last week, in the middle of the night like rats and cockroaches, GOP Governor Ron Gogo Boots DeSantis ordered the removal of a rainbow-colored crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub where 49 people were gunned down.

DeSantis said he “will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes.”

The murder of Americans is not a political issue, but DeSantis turns hate into politics.

On the upside, the very next day citizens took to the streets and repainted the crosswalk in an act of Resistance.

The US Gulf Coast is facing billions of dollars in yearly property damage by 2050 due to extreme weather tied to climate change which nary a single Republican believes in.

That’s all.

The Felon’s Justice Department is demanding that hospitals turn over a wide range of sensitive information related to medical care for young transgender patients, including billing documents, communication with drug manufacturers and data such as patient dates of birth, Social Security numbers and addresses.

It's an attack on privacy, individual rights, and trans Americans; it’s hate.

The Felon has called war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war hero” and announced that he is also a war hero for sending US bombers to hit Iran’s nuclear sites.

Draft Dodger and a Murderer … birds of a feather.

The Felon is saying the people of Washington DC are thrilled to have armed troops patrolling their streets but the numbers tell a different story.

It was reported that business at DC’s restaurants, bars, and nightclubs has plummeted since the federal takeover of DC police.

Trust a liar or trust the people.

In a 2016 court filing, Marco Rubio, then a senator running for president, made the case that the Constitution conferred citizenship on essentially all children born in the United States.

Now, under this regime he sings an entirely different tune as he now seeks to restrict birthright citizenship.

Flip flop hypocrite.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] is moving to make English the sole language used for all agency business, a move that is in line with The Felon’s executive order to make English the official language of the United States.

Funny then, that The Felon can’t speak English and let’s not get started with his Slovenian Hooker Wife.

Judge Kathleen Williams of the Federal District Court in Miami has ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to Kristi’s Koncentration Kamp in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. 

Williams gave both branches of the government 60 days to move out existing detainees and begin to remove fencing, lighting, power generators and other materials. The order also prohibits any new construction at the site.

US District Judge Fred Biery has ruled that Texas cannot require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom; it’s a temporary ruling against the state’s new requirement but it’s the third such state law to be blocked by a court.

Brian Cornell, the CEO of Target, is stepping down as the department store chain seeks to turn around its fortunes amid an ongoing customer boycott over its scaling back of diversity, equity and inclusion [DEI] initiatives.

Target said people were scaling back spending over worries about the impact of tariffs and the state of the economy but also admitted that customer boycotts affected sales.

Boycotts work, y’all, keep resisting.

A dedication ceremony for a longtime public servant in New York’s North Country was interrupted by protesters on Monday. The event to rename the Clinton County Government Center as the John Zurlo Government Center was overtaken by a large crowd that quickly shifted to the protest against GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik; protesters zeroed in on Stefanik’s stance on the war in Gaza, barely letting her speak and forcing her to cut her speech early.

Stefanik eventually returned and shrieked over the protesters.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz has delivered a brutal assessment of The Felon’s meeting with Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin saying “it was clear not much was accomplished”:

“No ceasefire, no details, no questions from the press, just vague assurances that some progress was made without explaining what that was.”

Kurtz noted that the meeting, which did not include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, had been preceded by a White House effort to dramatically lower expectations as it became clear in the days before the summit that The Felon is inept in every sense of the word.

The cult is demanding that Fox fire Kurtz. Because of course.

The Republican Party of Florida was pushing a new line of merchandise including baseball caps, T-shirts, mugs and insulating drink sleeves with “THE DEPORT DEPOT” in blocky stencil font diagonally across a bright orange square.

But the Home Depot stepped up and expressed concern about the unapproved use of its branding and suddenly the items were scrubbed from the Florida GOP’s digital storefront.

The GOP puts the Duh in Flori-duh.

The Felon has a new target, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut and as usual his issues is with appearance:

“The very unattractive (both inside and out!) Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, said ‘Putin got everything that he wanted.’ Actually, ‘nobody got anything,’ too soon, but getting close. Murphy is a lightweight who thinks it made the Russian President look good in coming to America. Actually, it was very hard for President Putin to do so. This war can be ended, NOW, but stupid people like Chris Murphy, John Bolton, and others, make it much harder to do so.”

There’s a side-by-side of The Felon and Murphy; who’s the ugly one? Inside and out?

Hours after Texas GOP lawmakers approved a new gerrymandered congressional map a group of Texans asked a court to block it.

The plaintiffs, a group of Black and Latino Texans, filed an amended complaint in an ongoing challenge to the electoral districts Texas drew in 2021. The amended complaint alleges that the new map violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and the 14th Amendment by diluting the voting power of Black and Latino communities.

Clearly the Texas GOP doesn’t want Black and Brown people to be represented in their state.

Illinois Democrat Governor JB Pritzker announced that his state is launching a “first of its kind” resource guide and hotline to support LGBTQ+ residents called Illinois Pride Connect that will serve English and Spanish speakers, according to the program’s site.

Callers can get advice on access to health care, identifying documents, housing, safety concerns and government benefits, such as Medicaid and SNAP.

As always, Democrats help, Republicans hurt.

South Carolina GOP Representative, Liar and Transphobic Loon, Nancy Mace—who is currently running as a South Carolina gubernatorial candidate—was forced to cancel a speech for the local chapter of the far-right organization Moms for Liberty last week.

Not because she was booed offstage but because only eight people showed up.

Mace reportedly slunk away backstage to avoid addressing the situation directly, before pivoting to speaking with those in attendance individually, which didn’t take long because there were only eight of them.

Speaking at the White House recently The Felon told reporters he was going to stop mail-in ballots because it’s corrupt.” He then claimed that he went to vote in person—though in the last several elections he has voted mail-in, he was asked to show his “license plate.”

Maybe one day, someday, he’ll be working a job making license plates and be only too happy to show them.

Right after The Felon was publicly spanked by Dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska, South Carolina GOP Senator Lindsey Graham announced that the next phase of American diplomacy over the war in Ukraine needs to target Moscow’s pocketbook.

Graham has personally threatened to discontinue his use of Russian male prostitutes to help crush the Russian economy and that alone could cripple a nation.

And now, just a reminder …
