Today's Headlines: Melania Trump made a surprise White House appearance — her first in weeks or possibly months — to announce a foster care initiative, opening with "I heard you missed me, here I am," which nobody would have thought twice about if it hadn't come directly after Jon Ossoff's comment that Trump wants to "travel with Natalie." The timing really did the heavy lifting there. Walmart pos

Today's Headlines: Trump spent yesterday morning showing off his new White House helipad and giving an unprompted infomercial for Scott's Miracle-Gro that spiked the company's stock — a useful distraction from reporting that his aide Natalie Harp, the Human Printer, worked at the White House for a year without a security clearance because she refused until Trump personally intervened. He also TACO

Today's Headlines: Trump threatened to "bomb the shit out of" Oman — a longtime US ally and the country currently facilitating Iran negotiations — because Iran and Oman are having side talks about the Strait of Hormuz that don't include him, and when asked why, he said "I don't think they behave very well," which confused even Fox News. Jared Kushner and Netanyahu spent several hours reaching the
Monday, August 17th, 2026 - Trump Asks SCOTUS to Save His Bunker, Sailors Are Starving at Sea, Blanche Says DOJ Works for Trump
Today's Headlines: Todd Blanche went on Meet the Press and admitted he cannot pledge DOJ independence from the White House, and that the DOJ may ask the Supreme Court to intervene in 22 cases where judges blocked Trump's election interference efforts — specifically the administration's attempt to get voter rolls including names, addresses, and partial social security numbers from 30 states and DC.

Wednesday, August 12th, 2026 - Trump Fled in a Catering Truck & Got a Diamond Ring, ICE’S Shock Gloves
Today's Headlines: Trump secretly escaped Air Force One in a catering truck at the NATO summit in Turkey due to an Iranian assassination threat — leaving the press corps and cabinet members including Marco Rubio sitting inside the plane he'd just abandoned as a decoy. The plane he fled was the Qatari hand-me-down that clearly wasn't secure enough for the president. When asked if he'd declare a nat
Tuesday, August 11th, 2026 - Trump's Anti-Vax Executive Order, Zuck's 6500-Word AI Manifesto, July Is Hottest Month on Record
Today's Headlines: Trump signed an executive order overriding the CDC's vaccine schedule authority, requiring the MMR vaccine to be broken into three separate shots at separate visits — while claiming he broke up his own kids' vaccines into five stops because he's "seen proof" that vaccines cause autism, which he described as a soda bottle poured into a child's body. Trump also admitted there was

Thursday, July 30th, 2026 - Rand Paul's Fauci Circus, Iran War Back On…Again, Elon’s Coming for the Midterms
Today's Headlines: Congress was quite busy.

Friday, July 24th, 2026 - Trump Planning Massive Iran Strike, Saudi Nuke Deal Dying, Death of Nolan Wells
Today's Headlines: Trump announced a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, then posted a P.S. the next day conditioning the whole thing on Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel — a condition so significant it threw the entire deal into jeopardy before Congress even had a chance to reject it — while simultaneously telling Axios he's "close" to ordering a massive Iran strike "bigger than ever bef

Friday, July 17th, 2026 - Trump's Big Boy Speech, Blanche Forced To Meet Epstein Survivors, Diarrhea Mystery Solved
Today's Headlines: Trump's Big Boy speech was overhyped, overproduced, and deeply disappointing — with NBC and ABC refusing to air it.

Elon Musk has been referred for potent
Tuesday, July 14th, 2026 - ICE Kills Yet Again…Again, Trump's Void IRS Settlement & Planned Election Gaslighting Speech
Today's Headlines: Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone was appointed to his Senate seat within days of his death — never held office, framed as a neutral placeholder, and now South Carolina's first female senator, which would be more historic if it weren't handed to her by Trump as a favor.

Today's Headlines: Graham Platner still hasn't dropped out of the Maine Senate race despite Bernie withdrawing his endorsement and a second sexual assault allegation — this time from an ex-girlfriend who says he removed condoms during sex without her consent, which is classified as sexual assault in several countries — and his campaign's response was to call it politically motivated and bring up B
Tuesday, July 7th, 2026 - USMNT Eliminated, Platner Sexual Assault Allegation, DOJ Leaked Its Own Sealed Report
Today's Headlines: The US lost to Belgium 4-1 in the World Cup Round of 16 despite Trump personally calling FIFA to get Balogun's red card suspension reversed, which worked, and Belgium won anyway — so the meddling was both successful and pointless.

Wednesday, July 1st, 2026 - SCOTUS Saves Birthright Citizenship, Trump’s Crypto Grift Pays Off, Pardons For $2M, Where’s Mitch?
Today's Headlines: The Supreme Court ended its term with three rulings: birthright citizenship was technically upheld 6-3, but the fine print is alarming — the actual split on birthright citizenship itself was 5-4, Kavanaugh wrote a wink-wink concurrence suggesting Congress could legislate it away, and Thomas wrote a 91-page dissent about an explicit constitutional sentence, so Trump immediately a
Tuesday, June 30th, 2026 - Clarence Thomas' Secret Capitol Visit, SCOTUS Expands Presidential Power, Polymarket Fakes Wins
Today's Headlines: Clarence Thomas showed up to Congress yesterday and was all sus about why, though Politico reported Republicans say he was there for the special members-only doctor's office.

Today's Headlines: The Iran ceasefire is on "massive life support" per Trump, while Iran's foreign minister insists their latest proposal was reasonable — and the administration responded by sanctioning 12 companies helping ship Iranian oil to China, days before Trump flies to Beijing to meet Xi Jinping, where that will definitely not be awkward.

Tuesday, May 5th, 2026 - Iran Ceasefire Dead, SCOTUS Unfreezes Mifepristone, Redistricting Wars, GOP pressures Fetterman to Flip
