Pam Bondi's Department of Justice has told the judge overseeing their political prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James that her office will NOT be complying with a recent court order. The court, at James' request, had ordered the DOJ to turn over all materials relating to Lindsey Halligan's appointment as US Attorney, as well as documents about her interactions with the grand jury. Without this information being turned over, it is likely that the case will be dismissed very quickly.

Karoline Leavitt became visibly flustered and resorted to her usual lies when she was asked a question about Donald Trump's clearly failing health this week. The question specifically asked why Trump had an MRI and why the White House hasn't given a reason for it, and Leavitt claimed that even Trump didn't know why it happened, but she claimed that he's absolutely doing great. If any of this is true, then it is proof that his health is far worse than anyone thought.

An adviser to Donald Trump told Axios this week that the President is prepared to make the lives of Republicans "a living hell" if they don't do what he's demanding of them, which is to eliminate the filibuster. But after this week's election results, Republicans are going to be even less likely to get rid of the legislative tool, as it is more likely to hurt them in the future. But Trumps' threat is real, and we know that because he's already made everybody else's lives a living hell.

A 63-year old Donald Trump voter who recently retired to take care of her 26-year old daughter told NBC News this week that she desperately regrets supporting Trump after she lost her SNAP benefits. More and more MAGA voters seem to be coming around and realizing that Trump doesn't care if they live or die, and the stories of people abandoning the MAGA movement are becoming more frequent than Republicans want to acknowledge.

A federal appeals court has ordered Judge Aileen Cannon to stop delaying the release of former special prosecutor Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump's theft of classified documents after months of delaying the release. The Appeals Court found that Cannon had absolutely no valid reason for delaying the release of the report, and they strongly suggested that it was just a feeble attempt to protect the man who put her in power - and who may end up putting her on the Supreme Court some day.

Donald Trump keeps insisting that he has "handled" inflation and that prices for consumers are going down, but reality shows the exact opposite happening. The situation has gotten so bad that even his own administration can't lie about it anymore, and the Treasury Department admitted publicly this week that inflation is remaining "above target." That's a fancy way to say that Trump is failing at everything having to do with economics (and everything NOT involving economics.)

The Trump administration is in the process of actively training American military personnel for a ground invasion of Mexico. The administration claims that they are going to be going after the cartels, but that's a flimsy pretext for launching a war against our neighboring country. This administration is absolutely pushing the limits of what is tolerable for the American public, and invading our closest geographical ally is likely not going to be the polling boom that Trump believes it will be.

Transportation Secretary and former reality show contestant Sean Duffy threw an absolute temper tantrum this week and threatened to shut down ALL of the airspace over America. This little twit who knows nothing about his job is angry over the ongoing government shutdown, and he wants to take out his rage on Americans who wish to travel this holiday season. This would not only hurt peoples' travel plans, it would also create a massive economic slump that could be the catalyst that launches a full blown recession.

In an absolutely unhinged meltdown on Truth Social, Donald Trump suggested that making fun of him should be a criminal offense. Trump was angry over a segment on Seth Meyer's late night show that happened several days earlier, and the fascist president decided that any mockery of him should be "illegal." We have seen Trump follow through on threats against late night hosts in the past, so this isn't a statement we should dismiss.

Americans are going without their SNAP benefits this week, meaning that millions of adults and children might not have food this week as the government shutdown drags on. But instead of helping those in need, the Trump administration has decided to invest money in creating a spoof MySpace website to mock Democrats. THIS is how they choose to spend their time as the people who put them in power struggle to put food on the table. This should be in every single attack ad from now until the 2028 presidential elections.

CBS did for Trump what Trump claimed the network did for Vice President Kamala Harris. Donald Trump's 60 Minutes interview that aired on Sunday evening was highly edited to cut out some of his more insane rants and claims, making the president appear far more coherent and rational than he actually is. This is EXACTLY what Trump sued the network for and he got millions of dollars from them in the process. Democrats need to follow suit and set an example that they won't let this go unpunished.

We have heard Republican politicians tell us for decades that the federal government is bad and that the individual states should handle everything from education to disaster relief because they were better equipped for that. All of these "the states do it better" talking points were lies, and we're watching those lies unravel in real time as most states admit that they can't handle the burden of people going hungry as SNAP benefits dry up. The states are begging for help because they aren't equipped to do much of anything on their own.

The visibly frail and cognitively impaired President of the United States got on Truth Social to whine about the fact that he had to "work really hard" during his trip to Asia last week. Trump whined that Chuck Schumer called the trip a failure, which it was, and Trump then accused Schumer of treason over those remarks. The whole thing shows what a crybaby Trump really is, as Farron explains.

In a little-noticed talk with reporters last week, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. admitted that he DOES NOT have "sufficient evidence" to back up his claim from September that Tylenol is linked to increased rates of autism. This is a massive departure from the grand press briefing he held with Donald Trump where Trump repeatedly yelled "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." And the new claim from Kennedy came just one day after the Texas Attorney General announced they were suing the makers of Tylenol based on Kennedy's initial claims.

FBI Director Kash Patel was busted recently by a right wing critic of his for using the FBI's private jet to travel out of state to go watch his VERY young girlfriend perform at a country music festival. The worst part, aside from the disturbing age difference between Patel and his girlfriend, is that this isn't even the first time this year that he's used the agency's $60 million plane for a date night - it's not even the second time he's done it this year!

A mass purge of people who could tell Donald Trump "no" is underway throughout the federal government in ways that most people don't even realize. From leadership at Homeland Security, to the Department of Defense, to the Department of Justice, and even the Commission of Fine Arts, Trump is getting rid of anyone who might stand in the way of his grand plans. This is exceptionally dangerous for the country, and things are only going to get worse as he replaces people who had consciences with spineless yes men.

During his trip to Asia this week, Donald Trump decided that he wanted to further humiliate the entire United States by doing a horrific, and possibly even racist, impression of the Prime Minister of India. As bad as this was on an international stage, what might be even worse is that the mentally declining president didn't make an iota of sense during his speech, and came across as the demented old fool that most Americans see him as.

While talking with reporters aboard Air Force One this week, Donald Trump appeared to threaten to send ANY branch of the military that he chooses into US cities to police American citizens. This is obviously NOT allowed, as using the military for law enforcement is expressly forbidden by US law, but the President doesn't seem to know or care about the rules of this country. The man is becoming increasingly lawless and unhinged, and that is always a devastating combination.

At Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, embracing reality is now a fireable offense. Bondi this week suspended at least 2 prosecutors that we know of because they mentioned in a legal filing that a "mob of violent protesters" stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. That is an indisputable fact, but facts have no place inside the Trump administration. The links that they are going to in order to deny reality are truly breathtaking.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz is not happy about Marjorie Taylor Greene calling out Republican Senators (and with her siding with Democrats on a few key issues,) and he's now urging his entire Party to ignore her. Greene has shockingly been making a little bit of sense recently, and that appears to be driving the rest of the Party crazy. But Cruz is not as loud and prevalent as he once was, and Greene's microphone is much larger these days.

With SNAP benefits set to run dry this coming weekend, half of the states in this country (25) have joined in a lawsuit against the Trump administration for refusing to use the contingency fund for SNAP to prevent benefits from expiring and residents from going hungry. This total includes several deep red states that overwhelmingly voted for Trump, but even they can't deny the fact that HE is the one responsible for the benefits running dry - NOT the Democrats as Trump claims.

A federal judge this week trashed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for repeatedly making false claims about a high profile defendant, in spite of the fact that they had already been ordered to stop. The defendant in question is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the administration is now attempting to deport him to Africa, but their rationale has repeatedly fallen through under the lightest scrutiny.

The dating scene can be tough, and for conservative women in the very liberal city of Washington, D.C., it can be an absolute nightmare. The Washington Post caught up with some Republican women who are navigating the DC dating scene, and they didn't have any kind words to share about the MAGA men they've been introduced to. According to one woman - who happens to be a Congressional staffer on the Hill - MAGA men are simply not masculine enough to make her feel secure. That's a tough blow to a group of men that are already suffering from low self-esteem.

Donald Trump is full of complaints. In fact, it is rare to find anything that actually brings him joy, other than when he lies about how great he is. But the President shared a meme this week thanking himself for "working like a dog" for "no money" for "ungrateful people" who don't appreciate his sacrifices. The man has already made BILLIONS of dollars this year alone off his crypto scams and deals with foreign governments, so anyone saying that he's working for "no money" is too stupid to talk about anything.

Earlier this week, Farron compared to voter fraud as being as nonexistent as Bigfoot. That comment didn't sit well with some of our viewers, and they decided to let Farron know that Bigfoot is, in fact, very real. Farron addresses this major scandal surrounding the existence of the legendary cryptid.

In the past three months we have been inundated with reports of ICE agents deploying chemical weapons in situations that didn't even come close to calling for it. Police officers have been tear gassed, protesters have been gassed, and a school was forced to shut down permanently due to the amount of tear gas deployed down the street from it. But this past weekend might be the worst of all, as residents of a Chicago neighborhood reported that the community was gassed while children in Halloween costumes were preparing for a parade.

Several members of the National Guard are refusing to obey Donald Trump's clearly illegal orders to descend upon the city of Chicago. While the numbers are small - literally just two people - it is a sign that cracks are forming in the military and that we have people who know that their duty is to the Constitution - not a fake-tanned dictator in training. A single act of defiance can cause an avalanche of resistance, and that's what this moment is calling for right now.

Voters in deep red Iowa helped lead Trump to victory in 2024, but they aren't suffering from any delusions about who is to blame for the current state of the US economy. These MAGA voters say that the cause of their economic pain is coming from Trump himself, and they aren't happy about it. While their struggles are never good, the fact that they aren't buying into the White House propaganda is certainly a positive development.

With the government shutdown still going on, benefits for SNAP recipients could dry up starting next week. There is a contingency fund that allows the benefits to keep flowing when funding is gone, but the Trump administration is refusing to use those funds because they want people to suffer and to blame Democrats for that suffering. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is also working to convince the public that Democrats are to blame for the lack of SNAP funding, but the facts are crystal clear about who is really holding up those benefits.

Donald Trump had a complete meltdown during his visit to Asia after learning that everyone back home hates him. Trump apparently decided to look at his dismal poll numbers on the trip, and got on Truth Social as soon as he could to let the world know that all those poll numbers are totally fake. As usual, he didn't offer any evidence or reason as to why the media is allegedly faking his poll numbers.

Health experts and doctors are sounding the alarms after Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s latest anti-health medical guidance. The Secretary of Health and Human Services updated the nation's dietary guidelines and called for us to consume MORE saturated fats, in spite of the increased consumption leading to more heart disease and cardiovascular problems. The man who had part of his brain eaten by a worm seems to be actively trying to kill us as quickly as possible.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by a 3-member panel of their court after it was brought to their attention that the federal government LIED to the panel in order to get a favorable verdict. The case involved the administration's attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard in order to send them to Portland, and the administration had told the court that they had to deploy 25% of the nation's Federal Protective Service officers to the city in order to protect federal buildings. It turns out that the number was a complete fabrication, but that number was used to get a favorable ruling from the judicial panel.

Donald Trump admitted to reporters recently that he isn't concerned about the legality of his drone strikes on boats in the Caribbean and now the Pacific, and instead just says that they're going to keep killing people. Trump's language was actually even far more blunt about how he wants these people to die. To make matters worse, an official with the administration has now admitted that most of these boats didn't even have the capacity to make it to the United States. But that fact isn't stopping Pete Hegseth from deploying an aircraft carrier to carry out more strikes on more potentially-innocent civilians.
