In an absolutely unhinged meltdown on Truth Social, Donald Trump suggested that making fun of him should be a criminal offense. Trump was angry over a segment on Seth Meyer's late night show that happened several days earlier, and the fascist president decided that any mockery of him should be "illegal." We have seen Trump follow through on threats against late night hosts in the past, so this isn't a statement we should dismiss. 

Americans are going without their SNAP benefits this week, meaning that millions of adults and children might not have food this week as the government shutdown drags on. But instead of helping those in need, the Trump administration has decided to invest money in creating a spoof MySpace website to mock Democrats. THIS is how they choose to spend their time as the people who put them in power struggle to put food on the table. This should be in every single attack ad from now until the 2028 presidential elections.

CBS did for Trump what Trump claimed the network did for Vice President Kamala Harris. Donald Trump's 60 Minutes interview that aired on Sunday evening was highly edited to cut out some of his more insane rants and claims, making the president appear far more coherent and rational than he actually is. This is EXACTLY what Trump sued the network for and he got millions of dollars from them in the process. Democrats need to follow suit and set an example that they won't let this go unpunished. 

We have heard Republican politicians tell us for decades that the federal government is bad and that the individual states should handle everything from education to disaster relief because they were better equipped for that. All of these "the states do it better" talking points were lies, and we're watching those lies unravel in real time as most states admit that they can't handle the burden of people going hungry as SNAP benefits dry up. The states are begging for help because they aren't equipped to do much of anything on their own.
