Today is Day 164 of Trump’s failing War on America. There are 490 days till we take our revenge on these MAGA motherfuckers for what they are doing in the Senate today.
BREAKING NEWS JUST NOW: Corporal couchfucker just cast the tie-breaking vote as Senate Republicans passed the Big Bad Abomination. Now we get to see how spineless the Confederate Traitors in the House are.
Yesterday, Fux Snooze’s Peter Doocy asked GrampaFluffer Karoline Leavitt if Grampa would try and deport Zohran Mamdani, following up on Hillbilly pigshitter Andy Ogles’ request to Pam Blondie to “denaturalize” the Democratic candidate for NYC mayor. Everubody’s favorite Fluffer answered, “I haven’t heard him say that, I haven’t heard him call for that, but certainly he does not want this individual to be elected. I was just speaking to him about it and his radical policies that will completely crush New York City, which is obviously a city that the president holds near and dear to his heart.” Doocy then asked, “Does President Trump think this is a worthwhile use of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s time?” Leavitt replied, “Well, I’ll let the president speak to that. I have not seen those claims, but surely if they are true, it’s something that should be investigated.” “Could President Trump see himself ... working with a Mayor Mamdani?” Doocy asked. Leaveitt went into the song and dance about how “the president” will “work with anyone to make America great again,” then said: “But surely someone who holds these values and is quite literally a communist, and condemns every value that makes this country great. Common sense, law and order, low taxes, working hard and earning your keep in this country. He’s against all of that. And I think the president would find it difficult to work with someone like that. If he is elected, I’m sure you’ll hear more from the president on that. But we’ll have to see. Hopefully, the voters of New York City choose wisely.” I wasn’t “all in” on Mamdani before this, but I sure as hell am now.
In Vote-A-Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong News today:
Debate on the Big Bad Bill continued this morning as the senators trudge through the amendment vote-a-rama, with the drawn-out process seeming to indicate the GOP did not have the necessary votes locked down. But then around 8:30 ED this morning, Thune announced to reporters that he thinks he has a deal with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, but also cautioned he’s a “realist,” indicating he’s not counting anything as finished until the final vote is cast. Thune and Murkowski were seen conferring on the Senate floor around 8am EDT. A person familiar with the conversations said the Senate parliamentarian had approved revised language to soften the impact of Medicaid cuts and food assistance cuts on Alaska. Three GOP lawmakers are solid No - Susan Collins, Rand Paul and Thom Tillis, making Murkowski’s vote the one that passes this abomination. So, yeah, you fucking spineless bimbo - sell out the other 49 states to protect that paradise of dimbulbs dumb enough to live there. Amy Klobuchar submitted an amendment to kill this “Murkowski carve-out” that has to be voted on before proceeding to the main vote, but don’t hold your breath - unless the three Rs join the Democrats.
Republicans stayed unified on a succession of other Democratic motions to derail the bill, including a motion by Sen. Jack Reed to send the bill back to the Finance Committee to rework changes to health care provider taxes that will reduce federal Medicaid spending by hundreds of billions of dollars in states around the country. By party-line vote, they also rejected a motion from Sen. Ben Ray Luján to send the bill back to committee to rework cuts to SNAP. They finishedby rejected along party lines a motion from Sen. Ron Wyden to send the bill back to Finance to redo other changes to Medicaid.
With regard to the Republican “win” on using “current policy” as a way to wave away the cost of things they want to do, Bobby Kogan at the Center for American Progress pointed out: “For the first time, reconciliation will be used to enact huge permanent deficits, in violation of the Byrd rule. The method was the presiding officer just asserted there was no point of order, without consulting the parliamentarian, to pretend Republicans weren’t ignoring her. There is no going back from this.” Congressional reporter Jamie Dupree asks: “If the new way to do things in the Senate is to just 'not ask the Parliamentarian' if it's legit under the rules, then what's to stop Democrats from adding everything from a ban on assault weapons to abortion rights to (fill in the blank) on a reconciliation bill?”
In other Republican dumbass news for the day...
A dark money group paid $80,000 to ICE Barbie’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. In 2023, while she was governor of South Dakota, she supplemented her income by secretly accepting a cut of the money she raised for a nonprofit that promotes her political career, tax records show. In what experts described as a highly unusual arrangement, the nonprofit routed funds to a personal company of hes that had recently been established in Delaware. The payment totaled $80,000 that year, a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 government salary. Since the nonprofit is a so-called dark money group, i.e., one that’s not required to disclose the names of its donors, the original source of the money remains unknown. Noem then failed to disclose the $80,000 payment to the public. After she was selected as Secretary of DHS, she had to release a detailed accounting of her assets and sources of income from 2023 on. She did not include the income from the dark money group on her disclosure form, which experts called a likely violation of federal ethics requirements. There is nothing remarkable about a politician raising money for nonprofits and other groups that promote their campaigns or agendas. Daniel Weiner, a former FEC attorney who now leads the Brennan Center’s work on campaign finance said that what’s unusual is for a politician to keep some of the money for themselves. “If donors to these nonprofits are not just holding the keys to an elected official’s political future but also literally providing them with their income, that’s new and disturbing.” The best people. Always, only the best people. I’m sure it’s just an innocent mistake.
I’m always glad that Karen got to become friends with Cookie.
The DOJ War on Americans continues: The (In)Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship. Department leadership is directing its attorneys to prioritize denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes — and giving district attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic, according to a June 11 memo published online. The move is aimed at U.S. citizens who were not born in the country; according to data from 2023, close to 25 million immigrants were naturalized citizens. Denaturalization is a tactic that was heavily used during the McCarthy era of the late 1940's and the early 1950's and one that was expanded during the Obama administration and grew further during President Trump's first term. It's meant to strip citizenship from those who may have lied about their criminal convictions or membership in illegal groups like the Nazi party, or communists during McCarthyism, on their citizenship applications. Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate wrote in the memo that pursuing denaturalization will be among the agency's top five enforcement priorities for the civil division.
"The Civil Division shall prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence." The DOJ memo says that the federal government will pursue denaturalization cases via civil litigation In civil proceedings, any individual subject to denaturalization is not entitled to an attorney. There is also a lower burden of proof for the government to reach, and it is far easier and faster to reach a conclusion in these cases. Cassandra Robertson, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University, says that stripping Americans of citizenship through civil litigation violates due process and infringes on the rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.
Grampa is having new guests at Whitey’s House: He wrote last night in Lies Anti-Social: “The incredible B-2 pilots will be coming to the White House…They hit a target the size of a circle—a little target, they say half the size of a refrigerator door, from 50,000 feet up in the air going at a rapid speed, and they hit it every single time.” I wonder if the woman pilot got an invite from Brave Sir Drinksalot? Grampa and Brave Sir Drinksalot, are trying like hell to make this about the pilots, pretending that any criticism of the operation is criticism of our loyal and patriotic pilots. How dare you!
In California, State Senator Sasha Renée Pérez introduced a bill called the “No Vigilantes Act.” The legislation would “require any law enforcement operating in California to clearly display a name or badge number.” Something that should be mandatory everywhere. Pérez stated: “We’ve heard concerns from so many constituents across the state saying, how am I supposed to be able to tell if this is actually federal law enforcement or if this is a vigilante who’s impersonating an ICE officer?”
He may look like Grampa, but he’s really a permanent 10 year old. Grampa Shitforbrains escalated his war on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell by sending him an all-caps sharpie note. The note was revealed by his fluffer, Karoline Leavitt, on Monday in a new briefing where she held up a chart that showed central bank rates, with Grampa’s message written over it. The president’s note was written in Sharpie on a chart. It was signed at the end by Grampa: “Jerome - YOU ARE, AS USUAL, ”TOO LATE." YOU HAVE COST THE USA A FORTUNE AND CONTINUE TO DO SO - YOU SHOULD LOWER THE RATE - BY A LOT! HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING LOST! NO INFLATION.” What Grampa failed to see is the fact that it’s only the U.S. that has shot its economy in the foot with his tariff bullshit, which is leading to inflation here, due to his moron ignorance and stupidity. A Fed Chair completely in thrall to the world dumbest dumbfuck would have the rest of the world convinced we aren’t even worth the price of blowing us up.
The InJustice Department appealed an order blocking Grampa’s executive order against the law firm Perkins Coie aimed at undercutting its business as retribution for ties to his political adversaries. The notice of appeal that was filed Monday comes nearly two months after District Judge Beryl Howell deemed the order unlawful, suggesting it “draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: ‘The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.’” It could become an appeals court’s first chance to weigh Grampa’s punitive orders against the Big Law firms.
Yeah, the fuckheads are still hanging around here in the City of Lost Angles. Maladministration II opened a suit yesterday against the City of Los Angeles for discriminating against federal immigration officers. The Department of InJustice sued the city, mayor Karen Bass, and the Los Angeles City Council for “illegal” sanctuary city policies that “deliberately impede federal immigration officers’ ability to carry out their responsibilities.” The lawsuit claims Los Angeles’ refusal to cooperate with ICE resulted in “lawlessness, rioting, looting, and vandalism,” causing the situation to become “so dire” that the California National Guard and U.S. Marines had to be deployed to the city.“A direct confrontation with federal immigration authorities was the inevitable outcome of the Sanctuary City law,” the suit states. (FACT CHECK: The only place any of this has ever happened was in the gooey mess between Grampa’s ears under the cuckoo nest.) “Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,” alleged AG Pammikins Blondie said in a press release Monday. “Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens are undermining law enforcement at every level—it ends under President Trump,” she added. In its suit, DOJ said the City of Los Angeles was violating the supremacy clause, which “prohibits the City of Los Angeles and its officials from singling out the Federal Government for adverse treatment—as the challenged law and policies do—thereby discriminating against the Federal Government.” They also say the city ordinances regarding immigration “intentionally obstruct the sharing of information envisioned by Congress, thereby impairing federal apprehension and detention of removable aliens, including dangerous criminals, as required by federal law.” This comes after the City sued ICE Barbie week before last, accusing DHS and ICE of being violent towards peaceful protestors and claiming that Maladministration II “used the violent spectacle created by DHS as a reason to commandeer the National Guard and send the United States Marines into California, which in turn has generated more widespread protests.”
The Grampa-Elmo war ramps up: Grampa has become very interested in the government subsidies Elmo the Mass Murderer’s various companies receive since the billionaire left the Trump administration early last month. In another I-can’t-sleep adderall-fueled post from the Golden Throne on Lies Anti-social, Grampa “Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!” He doubled down on the veiled deportation threat when asked about the once-again escalating feud this morning. Elmo has continued railing against the Big Bad Bill in the face of Trump’s threats, suggesting Senate Republicans who vote to pass it are enabling “debt slavery.” Yesterday he promised to primary “every Republican who votes for this, if it’s the last thing I do on Earth.” That Grampa is threatening him with deportation is a good indication of just how scared Grampa and the GOP are about the negative reaction to their obscene assault on the majority of Americans. (My official name for that Afrikaner shitfuck is now Mass Murderer Elmo Muck - he is PERSONALLY responsible for the deaths of going on half a million children - children! - he sentenced to death as easily as Adolf Eichmann did by making the trains to Auschwitz run on time, when he killed USAID.
Following the recent arrests of several high-profile elected Democrats seeking to do oversight on immigration detention centers, DHS has officially established a new policy that Democratic members of Congress must provide a week’s notice before visiting facilities. The policy runs counter to federal law, which allows elected officials to visit detention centers unannounced to conduct oversight. Democrats are already suggesting the move may be illegal. Rep. Bennie Thompson said in a statement to the NYT: “No matter how you read it, D.H.S. and ICE are flagrantly violating the law. They think they are accountable to no one, but following federal law is not optional. What are they hiding from the American people?” ABOLISH ICE!
Grampa went to Floridumb today to see Ron DeInsanetis’ “Alligator Alcatraz” concentration camp in the Everglades that MAGA is so giddy about they’re selling T-shirts to celebrate its creation. Fuckwit Ron said of his crime against humanity, What'll happen is you'll bring people in there, they ain't going anywhere once they're there unless you want them to go somewhere, because, good luck getting to civilization. So the security is amazing — natural and otherwise." As he left for his visit, Grampa Poopypants was asked if the concept behind the concentration camp was to have alligators or snakes eat illegal immigrants who try to escape; he replied: “I guess that’s the concept. This is not a nice business. We have to teach them how to run away from an alligator if they escape prison. How to run away. Don’t run in a straight line. And you know what? Your chances go up about one per cent.”
The only good news will be the defeat of the abominable bill. Stay tuned for further news on that front.
Tommy: Are those people really this crazy?

Well, good fellow readers, I was only able to make 3 (well, okay. One extra) call to Congress today.
I called Thune and MAGA Mike to tell them they have NO SHAME and they must abide by a different Bible than I am familiar with. I said they have sold their souls to Satan, and since they won't hear the message, I told the aides who will hear the vm to QUIT THEIR JOBS before they, too, are sucked into the abyss.
I then called Sen Bacon, since he announced he is retiring. I was screaming that HIS ONE VOTE COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS. What difference would it make, as Trump can't primary him?! I said HE went to Congress and got the best healthcare ever and a nice cushy amount of $$, but HIS ONE VOTE just ripped healthcare away from 16M people. HIS ONE VOTE is leaving his fellow Americans sick, hungry and homeless. HIS ONE VOTE, LIKE SENATOR MCCAIN, MIGHT HAVE PUT HIM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. Coward, coward, coward.
I am SO praying for a blue Tsunami, and that the House, Senate and POTUS are Democratic, at which time they ban assault rifles, create universal healthcare, reverse the Citizens United ruling, and heck--add a couple of SCOTUS to the bench. And while we're at it, ban gerrymandering.
I know, I know. I'm losing it.
BTW, that 4th call was to Duckworth whose been fairly vocal of late, and I told her to make sure the Dems CONSTANTLY find a way to bring up the fact that the GOP OWNS THIS BILL.
Mamdani WILL be the next mayor of NYC. Screw Mango.
He’s popular, charismatic, young and not decrepit and NOT A FELON or a criminal, doesnt have a rap sheet and not afraid to admit he works for the people of NYC. Clearly he is the 180 degree opposite of republiCons.
