Appeals court rejects Trump lawsuit in Mar-a-Lago documents case
The serial grifter’s last gambit has met a resounding defeat with a unanimous ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which decreed that a so-called special master cannot upend American rule of law and pick and choose what the DOJ gets to examine in the disgraced ex-president’s disastrous stolen doc scandal.

Right-wing billionaires are destroying America’s newsrooms
Courier Newsroom: With our small-town newsrooms being turned into Trump’s propaganda outlets by Sinclair Broadcasting, it’s harder than ever to find factual, value-based news coverage at the local level. Courier Newsroom is leading the fight against right-wing misinformation and conspiracies by building the largest left-leaning local news network in the country. Can you chip in to help keep our democracy healthy and put a stop to Trump’s dangerous conspiracies?

Putting “profits over people,” Senate rejects paid sick leave for rail workers
It was clear from the beginning of the negotiations that the railway companies were counting on Congress to bail them out of having to give sick leave to their workers, and legislators in DC dutifully obliged by separating sick leave from the bill enforcing a contract on the railway unions into a standalone bill. Worse, it gave certain Republicans a chance to pretend to care about workers by voting for legislation they knew would never get the 60 votes to pass. A disgraceful day for our government, which is utterly unwilling to do anything that might threaten the bottom lines of corporate America.

“I like Hitler”: Kanye West praises Nazi during shocking Alex Jones interview
An obviously very mentally ill Ye (formerly Kanye West), encased in a gimp mask and what appeared to be no less than fifteen coats, stunned the likes of Alex Jones and the rapper’s new sidekick, white supremacist Nick Fuentes, with a full-throated endorsement of Adolf Hitler and Nazis in general. While his vitriolic antisemitism is truly abhorrent to witness, it is painfully clear this man is in the throes of some kind of psychotic breakdown and should be getting treatment, not paraded around on conspiracy webshows by hatemongering opportunists.

Men who used robocalls to suppress Black votes ordered by judge to register new voters
Perennially unsuccessful right-wing con artist Jacob Wohl, whose harebrained exploits include accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of having an affair with a Marine and bringing fake rape charges against Robert Mueller and Pete Buttigieg, has been sentenced to 500 hours of registering new voters as punishment for using racist robocalls to try and depress the Black vote in the 2020 election.

Worker pleads guilty in election equipment tampering case
MAGA minion Sandra Brown has pleaded guilty to copying an election machine hard drive for Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters as they attempted to prove Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election had been stolen. All said and done, the disgraced ex-president’s absurd conspiracies have created far more crimes than they’ve unearthed — which, again, is zero.

Hospice care quickly becoming a for-profit hustle
In a truly horrifying glimpse of the degeneracy of American capitalism, selling hospice care to elderly people who are not dying is becoming a growing, widly profitable business. For-profit companies are actually sending out sharks to target lonely, ill, uneducated, or just out-of-it seniors and persuading them to forgo curative care and move into hospice centers where hospice companies can leech off the fetid teat of for-profit insurance. It is a ghoulish, apparently legal business practice that truly makes you wonder how these miserable scumbags sleep at night.
