Donald Trump spent this past weekend proving to the world that he has lost his entire grip on reality. He first claimed that the city of Portland, Oregon is literally being burned to the ground as "insurrectionists" have taken over - which isn't happening anywhere in the city. He then claimed during a rally that he is in better shape than President Obama was, and that's even going back to Trump's first term in office when he was even more obese than he is right now. The man is totally off his rocker, and that's not good for the country. 

Top Trump advisor Stephen Miller went off the rails this past weekend after a judge temporarily blocked Donald Trump from activating the Oregon national guard. Miller claimed that the judges who are ruling against Trump are launching a "legal insurrection," a message clearly designed to put judges in the crosshairs of MAGA activists. And it may have worked, as just hours later a judge that had ruled against the administration in a privacy case had her house burned to the ground. 

Kristi Noem went crying to Fox News over the weekend to complain about the fact that the federal ICE raids taking place in Chicago are not going well because people in the city are being too mean to her gestapo. Noem literally whined that agents aren't allowed to use restrooms at private businesses and that they are feeling unwelcome when they try to order lunches. Noem did this to the agency, so the blame lies squarely with her.

Pete Hegseth admitted during a brief chat with reporters that Donald Trump recently called him into the Oval Office to yell at him for "not getting the job done." While Hegseth didn't specify what that "job" is, it is clear that he's telling us that Trump screamed at him for being a complete failure. This explains why Hegseth has been so visible recently, most notably with his lackluster pep rally for military generals who left questioning the sanity of the Secretary of Defense and the President. 

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein are heading back to the Capitol on Wednesday to hold a press to demand that Congress (Republicans) release the Epstein files that they have been shielding from the public for far too long. Republicans in Congress, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have intentionally delayed the swearing in of a recently-elected Democrat in order to avoid a vote on releasing the files, and even Trump supporters are starting to question the motives of these Republican leaders.

A group of powerful world leaders (that did NOT include Donald Trump) met last week where they openly mocked Trump's stupidity and frequent gaffes. The Prime Minister of Albania joked with French leader Emmanuel Macron for not congratulating him on the peace deal that Trump worked out between his country and Azerbaijan. The joke, of course, is that there was no conflict between the two nations, yet Trump has repeatedly insisted that he worked out a peace deal between the two. The world leaders had a great laugh at Trump's expense.

Veterans groups were outraged late last week when a 70-year-old Air Force veteran was knocked to the ground by ICE agents then surrounded and arrested on the spot. Video of the incident appears to show that the man's only crime was yelling at ICE to "go away." This is what life is like with Donald Trump's gestapo roaming the streets of America, waiting for the slightest provocation to lock up American citizens. These are not patriots - they are masked thugs terrorizing American citizens. 

Anyone celebrating the fact that TikTok has not been shut down in the US might want to take a minute to realize what's about to happen. The platform is going to be sold to the king of right wing propaganda, Rupert Murdoch, along with co-ownership by one of Donald Trump's billionaire buddies that also just purchased another major media outlet. And if there is still any doubt in your mind, there's the fact that while signing the executive order, Trump admitted he was going to turn the outlet into a propaganda machine for him and his administration. 

American farmers overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in 2024, and they've also been the hardest hit by his policies - on top of being the most vocal about how bad his policies have been for them. Trump has heard their cries for help, and now he's going to try to buy their loyalty like he did in 2018, 2019, and 2020 by offering up $10 billion in bailout funds to pay off these angry voters. This is our tax money going to a group of people that were harmed by their own actions, and something about that doesn't sit right. 

Karoline Leavitt certainly isn't living up to those Christian ideals that she pretends to hold dear. During a Fox News appearance last week, Leavitt said that the administration is "absolutely" targeting funding for Democratic states during the government shutdown, and if Democrats don't want their voters to suffer, then they should do whatever Trump wants them to do. This is extortion at its finest, and proof that we do not need to feel any empathy for the Trump voters that are also suffering under his policies.

According to an investigation by The Verge, Google has allegedly been censoring searches involving "Donald Trump" and "dementia." The search engine no longer provides an AI summary, as it does for other searches, and instead says that this feature is not available. However, the AI summary shows up immediately when doing the same search for Joe Biden and possible dementia. The owners of Google were present at Trump's inauguration, so this isn't as surprising as you'd think - disgusting, yes, but not surprising.

Multiple sources confirmed to The Washington Post that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are planning to force THOUSANDS of Pentagon employees to take polygraph tests so that they can try to find out who keeps leaking information. The irony, of course, is that all of their schemes to find leakers have been leaked to the press before they can even happen. Polygraph tests are unreliable to the point where they aren't even admissible in court, and the testing so far hasn't stopped any of the leaks or found any leakers. 

The Trump administration has ordered furloughed federal employees to set up "out of office" reply emails on their accounts during the government shutdown, and employees have been ORDERED to blame Democrats for the shutdown in their email messages. Staffers at multiple government agencies were given word-for-word scripts that they are to use, blaming Democrats in the Senate for the shutdown, even as Republicans control every single branch of the government. But polls already show the public is blaming Republicans for the shutdown.

Two weeks ago, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had the highest approval rating of any official in the Trump administration, sitting at a pathetic NEGATIVE four points. That was obviously still really bad, but still better than other officials in the administration. After his recent antics, however, he now has the LOWEST approval rating of any cabinet official. He managed to destroy his entire public image (the little bit that he had) in less than two weeks, and that is nothing short of amazing. 

Donald Trump had another major, unhinged meltdown on Truth Social on Thursday morning as he claimed that it was the Democrats who had gone "stone cold crazy." The man is completely off his rocker at this point, and all of his attacks on other people's sanity and intelligence is the most transparent projection we've ever seen.

A photojournalist was attacked by an ICE agent as he attempted to get photographs inside of a courthouse where ICE apprehended people who were attending their court appearances. The ICE agent decided that he didn't want this gross abuse of justice photographed, so he slammed the reporter to the ground outside of the elevator. The reporter was seemingly knocked unconscious and didn't move for quite some time before he was eventually carried out on a stretcher by paramedics and taken to a hospital. 

Donald Trump is launching a new, official government website called TrumpRx for Americans to apply for discounts on prescription drugs. This move is part of a deal with drug company Pfizer to give Americans better prices on pharmaceuticals. The deal is actually not that bad, but the fact that you have to type in Trump's name just to get to a website that then redirects you to the actual website is beyond disgusting. Not to mention the fact that Americans won't be saving much, as drug prices have gone up significantly since Trump took office, and consumers will just be getting the "old" prices they were paying a year or two ago, if they are lucky. 

A federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan has absolutely annihilated Donald Trump and several members of his cabinet in a scathing, 161-page ruling. The ruling from the judge blasts the administration for trying to suppress Freedom of Speech, for allowing ICE agents to terrorize citizens behind the protection of a face mask, and the blatant disregard for the entire justice system. The judge also decided to include several of the threats that MAGA freaks sent to him in the ruling, just to further show how Americans are threatening judges that don't play nice with Trump. 

Republican Senator Ted Cruz made what might be the biggest mistake/gaffe that a human being can make. During a Senate hearing this week, Cruz proudly proclaimed that Republicans and Democrats should come together and "stop attacking p*dophiles." After he made this statement, he continued on with his diatribe as if he hadn't just made the worst mistake of his life - and not a single person in the Senate corrected him! 

The Trump administration has continued to defy the orders of federal courts since their very first loss earlier this year. So far, nothing has happened to anyone in the administration for ignoring court orders, but those days could be coming to an end very soon. A federal judge blasted the administration for defying a court order regarding the dismantling of Voice of America, and the judge signaled that civil contempt charges might be on the way.

Questions about Donald Trump's mental health, and his sanity in general, have been growing louder over the last few days after a series of truly unhinged and racist posts on social media. The President has been reposting AI generated videos of himself and his enemies, seemingly unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, causing Americans to call upon the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment. 

A very confused and emotional Eric Trump appeared on Newsmax this week to launch a new grievance against the former Biden Administration by claiming that they tried to get his father and stepmother to divorce. As evidence of this alleged attack on Trump's marriage, Eric claimed that the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago was only done to try to dissolve that marriage. Eric seems to forget that his father has cheated on every wife he's ever had, and even buried Eric's mother at a golf course to get a tax write off - not exactly a loving husband that has successful marriages. 

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth held his little pep rally for the military on Tuesday morning, and it was about as pathetic as you would imagine. But on top of being pathetic, it was also insanely racist and misogynistic, with Hegseth saying that diversity is NOT a strength, and then going into a transphobic tirade about gender identities and how men are just better, in his opinion. The event cost millions of dollars was an even bigger waste of time than we thought it would be.

Donald Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins frantically texted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week, saying that she's worried that Trump was outsmarted by China in his own trade war. We know that this happened because a photographer was able to snap a picture of the text message to Bessent as he was sitting at the United Nations last week. And Rollins has every reason to believe Trump was outsmarted, because he absolutely was.

Donald Trump suffered another "Senior moment" over the weekend when he shared an AI generated video of HIMSELF announcing that he was giving all Americans access to something called a "Med Bed," which is a magical creation that can cure all illnesses and even regrow missing limbs in a matter of hours. The beds, obviously, do not exist, and Trump never signed any order related to them, but that didn't stop the President of the United States from sharing the fake video to his own Truth Social account. 

In an interview on Sunday, shortly before he decided to deploy federal troops to Portland, Donald Trump appeared to admit that he's not only being manipulated by right wing propaganda, but that he's still aware enough to KNOW that he's being manipulated. Trump recalled a conversation with Oregon governor Tina Kotek, where he asked her "Am I seeing things on television that aren't actually happening?", and the answer to that is YES. Trump seems to know that he's not living in reality at the moment.

Following the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey last week, Vice President JD Vance has announced that there are "certainly" going to be more indictments coming against Donald Trump's political enemies in the months and years to come. This admission shows how brazen the administration is becoming with their abuses of power, and it also shows the complete incompetence of the administration. If Vance had a brain, he would have realized that promising indictments instead of investigations is a sure-fire way to get whatever charges may come dropped almost immediately.

Donald Trump launched a wild new conspiracy over the weekend that was so insane even his own sycophants couldn't allow it to stand. Trump falsely claimed that the FBI had agents planted at the Capitol Riot BEFORE the riot even took place, and he claimed that the government knew about it the whole thing (and obviously planned it.) Trump's own FBI director, Kash Patel, was forced to come out publicly and say that this is completely untrue, putting him at odds with his boss who doesn't like to be told that he is lying. 

Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of a handful of Republican lawmakers working with Democrats to force the release of the Epstein Files, and the Trump administration has been desperately trying to get her to stop it. But Greene has now made it crystal clear that she is NOT going to bow to White House pressure because she knows "who she works for." The only problem is that Greene still doesn't understand that the White House is acting on Trump's orders, and she is pretending that Trump is a victim in all of this.

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.

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.

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.

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.
