Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report tells us about former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe speaking out against MAGA at a Huntington Beach, CA city council meeting (and that takes guts if for no other reason because that’s a Repug-leaning district)...it’s pretty freaking incredible to me that there’s actually a Project 2025 tracker so we can see our government getting dismantled in real time (and again, I wonder where the hell the “D team” is on all of this)...and we’re presented once more with the clip of that puke Kevin Roberts of The Heritage Foundation again saying all of this will remain “bloodless” if we knuckle under and comply...I’d also forgotten about that garbage SAVE Act from that troglodyte Chip Roy of Texas, which indeed would remove voting rights for “cis” married women, as well as queer and trans people of course as Figueredo says...what country am I living in again?...clip also discusses the ways that Our Ochre Abomination is basically thumbing his nose at court orders, along with that nutball judge trying to pave the way for another ruinous Trump term beyond this one...by the way, and I know this isn’t the main point here, but Kluwe is a “cis” married male with two kids – just an FYI, and sorry that it took me a few days to get to this (NSFW/H)...
...and kudos to Dem U.S. House Rep Becca Balint of the great state of Vermont for speaking truth to stoo-pidity here on the ridiculous (to say nothing of cruel) budget just passed by the U.S. House of Mango Mussolini and “MAGA Mike” Johnson (and voted for by Bri-Fi, our utter joke of a PA-01 U.S. House rep)...
...and David Shuster brings us more on that utterly awful Repug budget that just passed the House, which includes $2 trillion in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps (oh, but Bri-Fi says, “You silly lib! We didn’t spell out those programs!,” which makes me ask this question: HOW DUMB DO YOU THINK WE ARE??!!)...this is EXACTLY the kind of garbage I and many, MANY others were trying to warn people about last year...oh, but watch our glorious Beltway courtier media twist itself into knots covering the atmospherics or whatever of the “arm twisting” and all of the perception BS WHILE IGNORING THE ACTUAL SUBSTANCE OF THE FREAKING BILL!!! And the “news” isn’t that Joe Kernan is defending the “pay no price, bear no burden” bunch; the “news” would be if he didn’t – no disrespect to Shuster (and I wish Khanna would have pushed back by quoting Warren Buffett saying he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary in terms of what rich people actually pay FOR REAL in taxes - more here - but at least Khanna did something in response)...and nothing against Erin Burnett of CNN, but why the hell that network gives the time of day to a wingnut like Erick (“Son Of Erick”) Erickson...oh, never mind...and I’m actually glad Shuster showed that clip with Fitzgerald and Grothman of Wisconsin again; that should be hung around both of their necks for the rest of their lives...
(Also, speaking of our wet noodle PA-01 rep, I’m hearing unofficially that people are calling his office and making respectful inquiries about what the #@!! exactly is going on, and Bri-Fi’s staffers are hanging up on them...figures.)
..and this TikTok clip comes courtesy of Bill Madden on Xitter; I had said in the past that Bronzer Beelzebub and our “ally” “Bibi” want to do the genocide thing in Gaza, pave it over and build luxury hi-rise hotels or condos or something, but my God, I was hoping that was just an exaggeration...this promo for “Trump Gaza” (yes, you read that right) actually appeared on Truth Septic...
To the fucking idiots who refused to vote for Kamala Harris because of Gaza — we told you what would happen, but you didn't listen. Trump actually posted this. 😡😡😡👇 pic.twitter.com/ShESjbAmDl

...and in response, I have only this to say...
(By the way, something in the back of my mind is pinging a bit over this – I’m sure #47 promised “Bibi” something, and I just pray to God that it wasn’t an attack on Iran, but knowing our outlaw regime in charge I wouldn’t put that past them.)
...and RIP screen icon Gene Hackman...I know I should reserve judgment on this stuff, but it sounds an awful lot like a suicide took place, though it could be accidental asphyxiation also (God, even the dog died...so many terrific clips from Hackman’s career to choose from, but I settled on this from “Mississippi Burning”...NSFW/H but for a good reason)...
...and apparently, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Rhiannon Giddens cancelled an appearance at the Kennedy Center and rescheduled her performance elsewhere based on you-know-who’s takeover of the institution named after our 35th president...nice work to set an example more should follow.
Update: And one more thing...
