Off with their heads! Self-avowed white nationalist Laura Loomer, the former internet troll, has become a self-appointed shadow personnel director for the Trump regime. On Tuesday, she targeted Jen Easterly’s West Point appointment, accusing the former Biden official of betraying Trump, conveniently omitting Easterly’s Bush-era résumé. Later that day, she bragged about ousting FDA vaccine chief Vinay Prasad — despite his ties to RFK Jr.’s MAHA movement. Prasad’s real crime? Insufficient fealty to Trump.

Cruelty is the point. MAGA South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace says she enjoys binge-watching videos of Trump’s ICE goons kidnapping gardeners, fruit stand vendors and hospital workers, shoving them into vans and disappearing them into concentration camps. Interviewed on Fox, she said “I can think of nothing more American today … and we all have Donald J. Trump to thank for it.”

Replacement theory. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has been quietly hijacked by anti-DEI crusaders now cosplaying as equity champions. Current and former staff describe the new leadership as white, male and thoroughly uninterested in civil rights — aside from weaponizing the term against itself. One ex-supervisor summed it up: “They’re just white, straight, male DEI hires.” MAGA has exhumed Jim Crow and set him free inside the DOE.

What was he doing to the horse? Ultra-MAGA huckster Rep. Tim Burchett showed up to the Campbell County Rotary Club nursing a busted rib after being kicked by a horse. He started his remarks with an attempt at levity: “I broke a rib, spent a little quality time in the hospital. I remember when they wheeled me in, I told the staff that was very attentive, I said, to quote Ronald Reagan when he got shot, ‘I hope all y’all are Republicans.’ They all laughed, and I tried not to laugh to try to keep from crying.”

She learned from the worst. Among his many bad traits, Donald Trump is notorious for not paying his bills – particularly the charges he racks up while campaigning in small cities across the country. Turns out his chief spokesliar followed his lead during her own failed campaign for office. Karoline Leavitt, now White House press secretary, left her failed 2022 campaign buried under $326K in debt — most of it stemming from illegal donations she hasn’t returned. Her committee, Karoline for Congress, hasn’t raised a nickel in months, and the FEC confirms she burned through the cash long ago. OpenSecrets reports there’s nothing left.

Democracy dying in darkness. The U.S. just landed on a global rights watchlist, thanks to Trump-era crackdowns that echo El Salvador and Kenya. A report by the international non-profit Civicus cites military showdowns with protesters, censorship creep targeting journalists, and Palestine-related activist witch hunts. The country’s civic space? Officially “narrowed”—a polite euphemism for “democracy on life support.” International watchdogs now lump the U.S. in with authoritarian peers.

TPM: The right-wing Washington Times reported that at a press conference at the NATO Summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday, Trump revealed that he had given Iran permission to bomb the U.S.’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for the American bombing of their nuclear sites.

“They said, ‘We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?’ I said it’s fine,” Trump said. “And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners.”

American birthright on the block. The Wilderness Society is warning that the Senate’s Reconciliation bill for Trump’s Big Ugly Budget boondoggle will make “250+ million acres of public lands eligible for sale. “It puts 16 million acres of public land in California up for sale.SFGAte reports that, “Those vulnerable parcels of land include areas adjacent to Yosemite National Park, Mount Shasta, Big Sur and Lake Tahoe.”

The bill is the brainchild of MAGA Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who made news over his cruel gaslighting attempt to recast the MAGA terrorist murderer in Minnesota as a liberal by tweeting, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”

Whisky Pete on the block? Trump is reportedly furious with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for failing to deliver a North Korea-style military parade on the American Dear Leader’s birthday. The New Republic reports that he allegedly “reamed out” Hegseth over the spectacle — which was advertised as a celebration of the Army’s 250th anniversary but conveniently fell on Trump’s birthday — as well as the soldiers who took part in it, according to biographer Michael Wolff.

Off with her head? According to The Independent: Trump is ‘losing confidence’ in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as he mulls removing her entire office, senior official says” President reportedly angered by intelligence chief’s social media warning against “warmongers” placing the world “on the brink of nuclear annihilation.” Here’s more on Tulsi’s dire warning, in case you missed it.

Off with their masks. California lawmakers have introduced legislation to ban law enforcement officers, including Trump’s MAGA ICE goons, from wearing masks. The law would also require officers to wear identifying information. ABC News reports:

A pair of lawmakers in California are seeking to ban law enforcement officers in the state from wearing face coverings, amid protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s immigration policies. State Sens. Scott Wiener and Jesse Arreguin — Democratic lawmakers from San Francisco and Oakland, respectively — announced Monday that they would be filing SB 627 to ban local, state and federal law enforcement from covering their faces when interacting with the public. The legislation, dubbed the No Secret Police Act, would also require law enforcement officers to wear identifying information, Wiener wrote in a post on X. “Secret police behavior tanks trust & must end,” Wiener wrote.

His Royal Flatulence. Our draft-dodging President Cadet Bonespurs finally got the North Korea-style military parade he’d dreamed of, and the reviews are in. It was a snoozefest. But during the June 14 parade in Washington, D.C., cameras captured Trump in his presidential viewing box expressing signficant discomfort.This fueled speculation that he was either sleeping, on the verge of tears or suffering from digestive distress. He literally had gas face.

Cold civil war. While Trump was watching his sad parade, millions of pro-democracy Americans turned out for No Kings protests across the country to send him a message: “We don’t want your stinking fascism, so get your tiny hands off our democratic republic.” Now the babyman is striking back. According to The Daily Beast:

Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night. The president issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed. Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

Über alles. A boycott of Target stores by African-Americans as well as pro-democracy groups earlier this year depressed sales so drastically that CEO Brian Cornell took a 45 percent pay cut. Having learned nothing from this, in late May Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi came out in support of the reconciliation package MAGA senators are preparing in an effort to pass Trump’s Big Bad Budget bill into law. The Trump regime White House website quoted Khosrowshahi’s tweet in support of the bill:

We’ve said from the start: No Tax on Tips should include @Uber drivers & couriers. Grateful the new House Ways & Means bill does just that. Thanks to @POTUS and @RepJasonSmith for backing all tipped workers—no matter how they work. Let’s get this done!”

In the House version of the bill, no taxes would be applied to cash tips only. Uber drivers rarely get tips in cash. But it’s the rest of the bill that most people find concerning, particularly the drastic cuts to Medicaid or SNAP. According to the Daily Dot,”Fierce opposition to the bill from the left means that Khosrowshahi was bound to face boycott calls over his support. ‘BOYCOTT UBER!’ wrote X user @Suzierizzo1. ‘The Uber CEO tells Trump that he supports him and the Reconciliation Bill that will leave children, elderly, and Veterans to starve to death! Look what we did to Target, so now it’s Uber’s turn!’”

Trump goons just now arrested Sen. Alex Padilla, a Democrat and the senior US senator from California.

Republicans side with Trump over Musk by nearly a 12 to 1 margin, but a majority of the rest of us are rooting for “neither,” including 52 percent overall, 80 percent of Democrat and 59 percent of independents.
