Chris Hayes brings us the tale of Dementia J. Trump torpedoing the bipartisan Senate housing bill as noted here (with Elizabeth Warren as one of the architects) to try and strongarm senators into passing his garbage SAVE Act, which, once again, is a “solution” in search of a problem – actually, the bill does nothing but screw over core Dem constituencies, which is the true objective of course...also, all 3 congressional candidates endorsed by Mamdani won in New York on Tuesday, leading corpora-Dems into a fit (led by this idiot, Carville I mean)...and oh yeah, Trump’s postmaster general wants to restrict mail-in ballots to blue states unless they hand over the voting rolls to the Gropenfuhrer – so many levels of illegality here that it’s truly hard to count them all...”he would rather cheat than win” indeed...
...and this report from the PBS Newshour discusses the incredibly-over-the-top sentencing of anti-ICE protestors to 30 to 100 years in prison, definitely longer than the sentences of the treasonous 1/6 insurrectionists as noted...I can just about guarantee you that these sentences will be knocked down on appeal, but the point of course is to utterly stifle dissent...and yes, I realize a police officer was shot which makes the protest a hell of a lot more serious of a matter, but these sentences are still ridiculously excessive...with correspondent Ali Rogin and federal prosecutor Paul Butler...big surprise that this prosecution is based in Texas I know...the legal fig leaf here is that the government has labeled Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, even though there is no political organization known as Antifa in this country (here)...and I suppose it fits in a typically demented way that those accused of belonging to Antifa denied it on the witness stand, but only confessed to belonging to a book group (once more, an unbelievable waste of taxpayer dollars from our idiot ruling regime)...we’re reminded once more of Presidential Memo 7 passed after the Charlie Kirk murder aimed basically at any person/organization Our Ochre Abomination doesn’t like, even though lefties had nothing to do with Kirk’s killing (it also fits that our ruling regime wants to punish people for “anti-capitalist views” – what a typical disgrace)...
...and this report from CBC News informs us of AI bots taking over fast-food drive-thrus, which I guess isn’t surprising (with White Castle being first apparently)...looks like “Julia” is taking care of about 90 percent of the orders correctly (a little spooky that that’s a higher average than for a flesh-and-blood human)...great point by the Canadian labor rep that fast food employment is a “stepping stone” job, and if that goes away, what will come in its place, if anything?...
...and speaking of nourishment, Farron Cousins brings us the sorry tale of Our Ochre Abomination and his same-party pals threatening to starve kids and families in this country with SNAP cuts...I know saying Republicans hate children is kind of extreme, but how exactly is Cousins wrong here, especially when we find out about a study looking at SNAP benefit cuts and what that’s doing to this country...1.6 million kicked off that vitally important benefit program, including about 776,000 kids in 12 states (at a cost of about $6 a day, versus our utterly insane Pentagon budget)...Cousins also points out how the latest class warfare from these Trumpist numbskulls is indeed incentivizing states to kick more people off SNAP...and yep, if you guessed that the typical mantra here from Not Your Father’s Republican Party is “oh, we’re cracking down on waste, fraud and abuse,” then you win a commemorative photo of The Sainted Ronnie R giving a speech braying about “welfare queens” (which don’t exist and have NEVER existed, by the way)...NSFW/H...
...and I now give you the following from Mr. Newberger based on today’s headlines...
...and here's a newer tune to try and keep the musical selections here from lapsing into a collection of "moldy oldies," at least for the moment.
