Donald Trump's Department of Justice sent a memo to prosecutors in various jurisdictions last week, giving them explicit instructions on what phony charges to use to prosecute left wing political groups and donors. Later that same week, Trump held an Oval Office press briefing where he discussed prosecuting people like George Soros, and Pam Bondi and Kash Patel were right beside him completely unable to explain how, why or who they were going after. Farron  discussed this illegal partisan witch hunt.  Donald Trump has nominated a man by the name of Jeremy Carl to serve in a high-ranking position at the US State Department, which has led Carl to delete more than 5,000 old social media posts. The posts that are now gone had praised political violence from the Right - including the Capitol Rioters - while also calling for the trial and eventual sentencing to death of American Federation of Teachers leader Randi Weingarten. This man is likely going to be confirmed by Trump's Republican puppets in the Senate, and even though he deleted them, he can't hide from his disgusting past. Hundreds of government workers that were fired by DOGE have been given their jobs back due to the fact that DOGE doesn't understand how the government works and that employees are pretty necessary. At the same time that this is happening, the Trump administration is planning EVEN MORE government firings, using a potential government shutdown as an excuse to cut more people. This administration is so dysfunctional that they are currently engaged in two completely contradictory plans. The latest polling data shows that Donald Trump is now underwater with every single age group and demographic in the country. But to make things even worse for him, the young voters who helped him in the election now say that they regret their votes because he turned out to be a "reckless dictator." Trump's insanity and lawlessness could swing a whole generation back to the Left, assuming Democrats are able to capitalize on their disillusionment. There are now enough members in the House who want the Epstein files released to the public to make that a reality - thanks to Democratic victories in several special elections this month. Donald Trump is terrified of these files, and he's now begging the Republicans who signed onto the discharge petition to switch sides again and save him. He might be successful, too, as those Republicans are Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace - three very pro-Trump lawmakers. But there's also a Plan B in place, in the event the Republicans chicken out. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!

Donald Trump went completely off the rails over "Escalatorgate" after it was revealed that his own Secret Service triggered the escalator stoppage while his staff ran the teleprompter that he cried about during his speech. He's now demanding that there be ARRESTS of UN staffers for embarrassing him, even though it was his own staff that made that happen. This man is absolutely insane, and he's clearly getting worse. A pair of Republicans in the US House of Representatives have put forward legislation to have Charlie Kirk's face printed on US currency. The currency would be a limited-edition run of silver coins, but this idol worship with Republicans is getting absolutely out of hand. Other Republican lawmakers have requested that Speaker Johnson place a statue of Kirk in Congress. The insanity never ends with these freaks,. A series of special election victories this week gave Democrats the number of votes needed to finally get a discharge petition passed in the House of Representatives that would force a floor vote on releasing all of the Epstein files. This is a nightmare for both Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Donald Trump, as the two men have been fighting for months to prevent the public from seeing what is hidden away in those files.  Vice President JD Vance is currently going around and trying to fix all of the reputational problems that Donald Trump has created for himself in the past week. Vance is busy writing off, excusing, and outright lying about all of the things that have happened, including the government pressuring ABC to drop Jimmy Kimmel along with Trump's hate-filled comments at last weekend's Charlie Kirk memorial.  Donald Trump threw a massive, juvenile temper tantrum after Jimmy Kimmel returned to the airwaves this week, and he also tossed in another threat against ABC for bringing him back. Not only did he come across as an unhinged, madman, wannabe dictator, but he also managed to blow up the Right's talking points where they falsely claimed that the administration was NOT trying to silence the media. Trump's rage gave up the game, as Farron explains.  Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!

Leaders around the world are warning their citizens to completely ignore the fact-free medical advice that is coming out of Donald Trump and his cabinet. The British Health Ministry has specifically warned their citizens that the claims are completely false, and the World Health Organization has come out and said that the claims made by Trump and the cabinet on Monday are not based on any real science. The world is laughing at us, as usual. Hundreds of people who were detained at the infamous "Alligator Alcatraz" facility in Florida cannot be located in any federal database, including lists of deportations. These individuals have simply been "disappeared" by the federal government after they were ordered to close down the facility and relocate all of the detainees - which included legal residents. This is the most terrifying development in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, as these people have simply dropped off the map, and the administration made that happen.  America is once again on the brink of a government shutdown, the 8th time this has happened since Republicans took over the House of Representatives following the 2022 midterms. Donald Trump was supposed to be meeting with House and Senate Democrats on Thursday, but decided to chicken out at the last minute because that's what he does best. Trump doesn't want to have to sit with the "mean" Democrats and actually try a little diplomacy, so the "Great Dealmaker" has decided to run and hide.  Donald Trump repeated his favorite false claim at the UN this week when he said that he has ended 7 wars since taking office in January. He's made this claim so many times that reporters aren't even bothering to fact check it, and that's a very real problem. These "7 wars" are ALL still happening, with major military operations and deaths in just the last week taking place between these countries. None of the fighting has stopped, but Trump is doing a victory lap over paper victories and photo ops.  Karoline Leavitt was forced to twist herself into knots this week in order to defend the bribery allegations against border czar Tom Homan along with Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric - literally declaring that he HATES his opponents. Leavitt dismissed both of these events, saying that neither person did anything wrong, in spite of both of the incidents being caught on video. Leavitt wants you to think that all bad things are good if Republicans do them, and they can only be considered bad if Democrats do them. Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is starting to crack under the pressure of her job, and even when sharing "good news" with the country she is visibly irate to the point where she's almost shaking as she yells. This could be her conscience trying to break free and make her stop lying to the public, and she's using all of her inner strength to suppress the voice that's telling her that what she's doing is morally wrong.  Donald Trump's latest order regarding H-1B visas immediately caused panic, chaos, and confusion among foreign workers and the businesses that employ them. Trump is now charging companies $100,000 to obtain the visas, making it incredibly expensive to bring in the level of expertise needed to run their companies. When the rule was announced, foreign workers were instructed to not leave the country out of fear they'd never be able to return, and one Emirates flight even delayed their departure to allow people to get off the plane when the order was given.  Lawyers at the Department of Justice are being warned that they need to get malpractice insurance because they will likely need it due to their work for Trump. This is a terrifying warning that serves as an admission that the DOJ is engaging in activity that is definitely not ok. These lawyers now have a choice - Work for a man that is going to force them to do legally dubious things, or resign with dignity and find work elsewhere.  Just hours after Donald Trump and his clown car of quacks announced that they "feel" like use of acetaminophen is tied to an increased risk of autism, Trump's own FDA released guidance to medical professionals that completely undermines every lie Trump told during that press conference. The FDA is apparently still trying to prevent the perversion of science and data that is rampant in this administration, but the people who put out the guidance are likely going to have to find new jobs in the very near future.  Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is all about image and not substance. This is why the portrayals of her in the media, especially on shows like South Park, have rattled her so much. According to new reports, the mockery and embarrassment recently became too much for her to take, and she allegedly started profanely screaming at her staff over the barrage of negative stories about her in the press. And it isn't just about mockery - she's also angry about people learning that her department is completely dysfunctional.  Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!

At a recent Yale CEO summit, the top business leaders in the country expressed their deep concerns that Donald Trump is tanking their businesses with his stupid decisions, particularly regarding tariffs. But tariffs weren't the only topic of discussion - these same leaders also made it clear that Trump's pressure on the federal reserve to lower interest rates would be a disaster right now.  The Charlie Kirk Hate Rally Memorial took place over the weekend, and nearly every speaker present decided to use that opportunity to sow more hate and division in America. But no one sank to the level where Steve Bannon went when he declared in a broadcast from the memorial that "teachers are terrorists." This man is trying to get teachers targeted by frenzied right wingers, and we've already seen teachers and school boards across the country receiving threats at levels never before seen ever since Republicans took aim at them.  During a black tie dinner gala on Saturday evening, Donald Trump took to the stage to cry to the audience about how mean Joe Biden was as a person. Trump didn't bother to elaborate on the manner in which Biden was mean to him, but he did immediately launch into a mocking rant about Biden having cancer. He went as far as to tell the crowd that they shouldn't feel bad for him because he was a bad guy. Interesting thought - we don't have to feel sympathy for bad things happening to someone if that person was a piece of garbage.  Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, committed a major blunder recently when she decided to strip 37 intelligence officials of their clearance, including top aides to the director of the CIA. On top of this, aides to the administration are FURIOUS over the fact that she did this without Trump's approval or knowledge, and they are warning Trump that Gabbard is going rogue and could be a threat to the administration. Farron discusses this new drama and the latest headache for Trump and his clown car cabinet.  Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!
