Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk agrees with the 1864 Arizona abortion ban law that was written by a pedophile who married a 12-year-old child. He also married a 15-year-old girl. William Jones has a very dark history, and conservatives are supporting the law anyway. And Kirk agrees with Trump, saying that Democrats are "the extremists," Media Matters reports.

Shorter Tom Cotton: That dang free speech is for white Republicans, NOT you, hippies!

Katie Couric was interviewed by Bill Maher, where she offended the snowflakes of Fox and Friends.

George Santos, the serial liar who was expelled from Congress for multiple financial malfeasances, told Stew Peters (of course) that Congress actually needs more people like him.

MAGA world hates Diversity, Equity And Inclusion policies – except when Donald Trump has them. Ditto for Trump, himself. Thanks to MeidasTouch, we now know that Trump Media is officially "committed" to diversity, equity and inclusion:

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy did not have prior experience in his job. Still, he was appointed by former President Donald Trump anyway, maybe because he was a major Republican Party donor and Trump fundraiser. But he can't do the job. Again, DeJoy was the first postmaster general in two decades without prior USPS experience, and it shows!

Yesterday we posted about the deaths of two Kansas women at the hands of some right-wing nutjobs who call themselves "God's Misfits." Well, it turns out one of them is the chair for the Cimarron County GOP in Oklahoma.

Jimmy Kimmel with a rundown of Trump's first day in his criminal trial in Manhattan, and on how the press would have reacted if it was "sleepy" Joe Biden rather than Trump that fell asleep in court.

During a hearing on President Biden’s 2025 request for the Department of Justice, Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) seemed more interested in MAGA gotchas rather than the less clickbaity but more substantive work of delving into the appropriation request.

Trump attorney Alina Habba made a hideous comparison to Trump and Nelson Mandela, when she was asked by Fox News host if Trump goes to jail for thirty-days for violating the judges orders.

A FOIA request to the National Park Service uncovered documents where Montana GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy (hand picked by Trump, IIRC) apologized and asked for leniency in 2015 after he said a gun he kept in his vehicle for bear protection fell and discharged, striking him in his right forearm in Glacier National Park. Why does this matter? Read on!Via the Washington Post:

Delusional Kari Lake told her supporters they can "strap on a Glock" to be prepared for the intensity of the 2024 campaign and urged military and law enforcement veterans to be "ready," as her race heats up in a key battleground state. Via NBC News:

The Democratic Party is focused on reelecting Biden as the top priority. Well over a billion dollars will be spent on that. We hope Biden divests himself from Netanyahu in time to save his presidency. But whichever way the presidential race goes— not a race that a small grassroots committee like Blue America can have much impact on— it is crucial that the House flips blue. A quick scan of congressional headlines tells us that it shouldn’t be that hard but…

Michigan Democrats in the state House of Representatives regained their majority with a pair of special election victories yesterday to represent metro Detroit-based districts left vacant after elections last year. And now they can do stuff again! Via the Detroit Free Press:

Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has continued to politicize the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Lakin Riley, even though her family has requested that politicians stop doing that. I framed that too nicely. Lakin Riley's father is pissed off, but that hasn't stopped Republicans.

Crazy Eddie's Motie News - tax season villain is not who you think it is;

We are only on Day Two of Donald Trump's criminal trial for election interference (sometimes referred to as the "Hush Money Case" or the "Stormy Daniels Case") and Donald Trump has already started intimidating the jury! In this case, he was allegedly muttering and gesturing within earshot of a potential juror who had just undergone direct questioning as part of the jury selection process.

Mike Lindell has done it again! He's come up with the perfect pillow for use in the courtroom. Whether you're facing charges of rape, fraud, stealing classified documents, election interference or just having a really bad make up artist, this is the pillow for you!

What a difference. Donald Trump fought for years to prevent his returns from being released to the public even though it was one of his central campaign promises to release them. The Bidens released theirs showing that they paid a combined total of $146,629 in federal income taxes in 2023 after reporting income of $619,976. While Trump paid zero dollars during his last year in office to charity, the Bidens reported contributions totaling $20,477 to 17 charities, including $5,000 to the Beau Biden Foundation, named for the Bidens' late son.

Sen. Katie Britt hasn't learned a thing since her over the top State of the Union rebuttal. She's still really bad at the dramatics, and still a shameless liar.

When Team Trump claims something is "fake news," you know it's legit. In this case, the Twice Impeached One's snoozing in court was observed by quite a few reporters, even by the Trump Whisperer Maggie Haberman. On top of that, Trump fell asleep in court again today during his criminal court proceedings, according to New York Courts reporter Frank Runyeon.

Russian State Broadcast News (RSBN) did an interview with a Trump supporter protesting Trump's criminal trial. It quickly became clear that she didn't have a clue on what is going on:
