BREAKING: Putin just lost another ally in Europe, and people are celebrating in the streets. Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s authoritarian leader and close ally of Trump and Putin, has officially conceded defeat in a historic snap parliamentary election. The student-led opposition movement has won, ending more than a decade of Vucic’s grip on power. Voter turnout reached nearly 70%, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992.

BREAKING: LOL! Trump totally MELTS DOWN after Obama said that he made the White House look like "Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory" in a hilarious jab.

This is the freakout we were waiting for...

"And you have to remember the White House, we have to explain that to Obama, because he doesn't understand it, because he's not a smart guy," a furious Trump told reporters.

"Let me tell you, in my opinion, he's not smart at all, because the way he ran the country, only a stupid person would run the country like that," he continued. "But we have to explain to Obama that the White House is a symbol of America, and it has to be maintained properly."

Of course, if Obama were actually stupid he would have "maintained" the White House by, say, demolishing our nation's beloved East Wing to build a hideous, unnecessary ballroom. Now THAT would have been stupid...

Or maybe he could have started a disastrous war with Iran on Israel's behalf, driven up gas prices, tanked the economy, and engaged in a widespread coverup of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network. But no President could possibly be that stupid, right?

"It has to be painted, and the exterior plaster can't be falling off the walls," Trump went on. "And the decorations and ornaments around the windows that are magnificent can't be on one side of the window and falling off on the other side. So we took molds of the one side and we put it on the other side, and we did a beautiful job."

Anyone who has seen pictures of the Oval Office under Trump knows just how perfectly Obama hit the bullseye with his Cheesecake Factory joke. It's atrocious, decked out in cheap fake gold and ugly trim. It's a monument to bad taste and now every foreign leader that visits is immediately reminded that our country is being run by a failed casino operator.

"Very little money spent. It's not about money. It's about seeing," Trump went on. "Guys like Obama don't see it. You don't see dirt. He doesn't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments on a building. The White House, to President Obama: Is a symbol of America. It has to be clean."

"The columns can't be broken," Trump huffed on. The bricks can't be falling off from under the plaster. And for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you're a lousy president."

The fact that Trump can get so worked up talking about his taste in aesthetics, but admits that he doesn't care about rising gas prices, just demonstrates what an abject failure he is. Obama baited him, and he took it hook, line, and sinker. Pathetic.

Please ❤️ and share if you think that Obama is a thousand times smarter than Trump!

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious after seeing the clip of Barack Obama making fun of him, not because of the joke about his decor style being a mix of Saddam and the Cheesecake Factory, but because the crowd is 20x the crowd he can get even when paying the attendees.

Three doctors — a British doctor, a German doctor, and an American doctor — were arguing about how advanced medicine had become and how quickly it could get people back to work.

The British doctor said: “British medicine is so advanced that we removed a liver from one man, transplanted it into another, and two weeks later, he was looking for a job.”

The German doctor replied: “That's nothing! In Germany, we removed part of one man's brain, transplanted it into another man's brain, and just four weeks later, he was looking for a job.”

The American doctor burst out laughing.

“You two are way behind us! About two years ago, we took a man with no brain, no heart, and no liver and made him President of the United States.

Now half the country is looking for a job!”

BREAKING: GET HIS ASS! Rep. Ilhan Omar destroys Trump after he smeared her name — and JD Vance gets dragged right into the mud!

By now, they should know better than to mess with her...

"The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history," Omar wrote on X.

"Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar," she added. "Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is."

She was responding to a hateful, lie-filled Truth Social rant from Trump in which he repeated some of the usual right-wing fever dream conspiracies about Omar, including that she supposedly changed her name and married her brother. Absurdly, he called for the well-liked congresswoman to "IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress."

Omar's response was pitch perfect, because she refused to be pulled into the weeds on Trump's blatant misinformation and instead redirected attention to the fact that this White House is actively covering up the Epstein files.

On top of that, Vance actually did change his name. He was born "James Donald Bowman," was later renamed "James David Hamel" by his mother, and then eventually changed his name to Vance. His constantly shifting name is appropriate for a reptilian-like man who will pretend to believe in anything to get closer to power. He's a slippery, slimy little creature.

Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar is a staunch advocate for her constituents and a fearless progressive who actually wants to improve this country, unlike these MAGA crooks who only want to enrich themselves and obscure their crimes.

This is all so incredibly transparent. Trump is attacking Omar because his popularity is in the toilet and he knows that going after a Black, Muslim, immigrant woman will play well with his base. It doesn't matter that his accusations are untrue, his bigoted supporters will gobble them up. Unfortunately for him, it won't be enough to win in the midterms!

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Ilhan Omar!

BREAKING: THANK YOU! Senator Mark Kelly shreds Trump's spineless envoy Steve Witkoff for praising Putin as a "humanitarian" in a disgusting string of remarks.

We agree with every word Kelly said...

"In what world is Putin a 'humanitarian?' He's assassinated political rivals and journalists, bombed hospitals, and started a war that has intentionally killed tens of thousands of innocent people, including women and children," he wrote on X. "He's a war criminal."

Witkoff ignited this scandal while talking to Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg—

“You talk so much about my President, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that," he said. "I commend you and I thank you again."

Of course, Trump is no more of a humanitarian than the psychopathic Putin. Whereas the latter has caused mass suffering and death by invading Ukraine in an egomaniacal drive to reconstitute the Soviet Union or even the Russian Empire, Trump has slaughtered women and children in Iran while brutalizing migrant families at home. Both men are monsters and thankfully Kelly isn't the only one speaking out against Witkoff's vile praise.

"Putin is a killer and a thug, murdering Ukrainian children, dropping bombs on neighborhoods, and tearing families apart," Senator Chris Coons wrote on X. "Calling him a humanitarian is like calling Witkoff qualified or capable of doing this job. What are we doing here?"

"Witkoff’s pathetic fawning over this KGB thug betrays American values & security," wrote Senator Richard Blumenthal. "He should cite Putin’s humanitarian greatness to the prisoners he’s tortured & killed, the children he’s kidnapped, the Ukrainians whose country he’s bombing w/ bloodlust."

"Also, American troops who are readier targets for Iran attacks because Putin is giving our enemies intelligence & technology," he added.

"Calling the war criminal Vladimir Putin a 'humanitarian' is a disgrace to the tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians that Putin has killed as part of his brutal war," wrote Senator Dick Durbin.

"Putin bears the sole responsibility for Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Because of him, tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians are dead or injured, including children," posted Senator Ruben Gallego. "The only thing Steve Witkoff should be calling Putin is a war criminal and an enemy of the United States."

At this point, we shouldn't be surprised that Trump officials are obsessed with Putin. The President himself wishes that he could be a full-blown dictator like his Kremlin counterpart, but thankfully our Constitution has kept these ravening fascists in check. Once we finally eject these cretins from the White House, Democrats will have their work cut out for them repairing the damage. Thankfully, we have leaders like Mark Kelly who are ready to rise to the occasion.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that Democrats investigate Witkoff to see if he's being paid for this pro-Putin propaganda!

BREAKING: George W. Bush's brother Neil just dropped a BOMB on MAGA by proudly announcing that he voted for James Talarico in the Texas Senate race.

This just gave Republicans a flashing green light to vote blue...

"I have never posted a political message on Facebook not wanting to offend friends whose views may be very different than mine. I'm breaking that tradition because I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate," Bush, the child of the late President George H.W. Bush wrote on Facebook.

"My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico," he continued.

"I have been deeply troubled by Paxton's conduct as Texas Attorney General, particularly his decision to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election in other states in an effort to help Donald Trump remain in power. I believe that effort was an affront to our democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power. My concerns about his judgment and conduct are hardly mine alone. He was impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House, although subsequently acquitted by the Texas Senate."

"More broadly, I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable."

"But my vote today was about much more than opposition to Ken Paxton."

"I've never met James Talarico, but I have been enormously impressed by the way he approaches complicated and controversial issues. He speaks with respect, seeks common ground, and seems genuinely interested in bringing people together rather than driving them apart. His faith appears to be a deeply rooted source of humility, compassion, and conviction rather than a political weapon."

I see in him the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees. My impression is that he is a principled, pragmatic leader who understands that public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power."

"I have been a Republican for most of my life, and I still believe deeply in many traditional Republican principles. But character matters more than party affiliation. Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide."

"Today, I voted against a style of politics that I believe has damaged our country. More importantly, I voted for the kind of character and leadership I hope will help heal it," he concluded.

Bravo, Mr. Bush! We commend you for speaking out boldly during these crucial midterm elections. Ken Paxton is a stone-cold crook who was impeached for bribery by his own party as state attorney general. He has zero interest in serving the people of Texas if he wins and will instead work to line his own pockets, accumulate personal power, and rubber-stamp Trump's destructive agenda.

Meanwhile, James Talarico is a devout Christian who is committed to fighting for better healthcare, an end to pointless wars, livable wages, more housing construction to restore the American Dream, and banning Congressional stock trading.

The Bush family still wields a great deal of influence in Texas, so this announcement is sure to cause political shockwaves. If you're a Republican who genuinely loves this country, it's time to cross the aisle and vote for James Talarico.

Please ❤️ and share to thank Neil Bush!

BREAKING: GET HIM! Reporter Andrew Feinberg publicly humiliates Trump after he SNAPPED at him in the Oval Office and claimed to not know who he is.

The dementia is undeniable now...

"I had told him exactly who I was not five minutes before this exchange," Feinberg, a journalist for The Independent, wrote on X in response to a viral clip of Trump attacking him earlier today.

"No, no, listen to you!" a dull-faced, visibly confused Trump says in the video, pointing at the reporter. "Hey! I'm not playing. You better— You better— I don't know who the hell you are but you better be careful."

The inexplicable outburst had all of the hallmarks of a dementia patient lashing out in befuddlement. People suffering from this kind of cognitive decline often forget names and faces and end up angry, scared, and mean. You don't even have to do anything upsetting to set them off. Their own uncontrollable emotions do that.

Tellingly, it wasn't the only bizarre moment during the Oval Office press conference today. Trump also went after Feinberg for asking a different harmless question and growled at him in a strange voice, calling him a "sick person."

This President is clearly in free fall and the continued silence of the Republican Party is a damning indictment of their entire movement. These cowards are so addicted to power that they are going to let this man run the country into the ground as his brain melts out of his ears.

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:

“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.

But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?

I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”

Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

BREAKING: GROSS! Trump publicly humiliates Melania by mocking her at a public executive order signing.

These two really do hate each other…

“Oh, that's a good one. Whoa!” Trump said, looking down at his own signature after signing a vague EO that creates a “White House Women’s Health Task Force” and a “Women’s Health Division” at the National Institutes of Health, both of which come without specific funding commitments.

“Okay. Why don't you sign right here?” Trump said to Melania, who was sitting right next to him.

“Perfect, yeah,” she said, trying to play along.

“I don't know if her signature means anything,” Trump mocked as she accepted the pen.

“But why don’t you do it, because I think it does,” he said, tapping the paper like an adult telling a child to sign their crayon drawing because it’s “so valuable.”

“But yours is the most important,” Melania said, awkwardly laughing.

“Mmm… That looks very similar. Wow. Doesn’t it? That looks very similar,” observed Trump, chuckling.

The entire thing was incredibly patronizing, but as usual Melania just accepted the humiliation because she’s addicted to her proximity to power.

Of course, her signature is as meaningless as the document itself. She has no Executive Branch power, and Trump was rubbing that fact in because he delights in making women feel powerless and infantilized.

The irony here is that this meaningless Executive Order was a desperate attempt to shore up Trump’s support among women ahead of the midterm elections, and even so he couldn’t resist the urge to remind us that he sees women as inferior creatures.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa sues Greg Abbott to obtain the "embarrassing" and "intimate" emails sent between his office and Elon Musk's minions.

We cannot wait to read these in full...

"Nobody here is accusing Greg Abbott of having a torrid love affair with Elon Musk,” Rep. Hinojosa said. "What this is about is we have the world’s only trillionaire getting massive tax breaks from this governor after giving him over $500,000 in campaign contributions."

The lawsuit seeks to obtain over a thousand pages of communication which — given what we know about Musk's underhanded methods and blatant favor-buying through donations — could be extremely damaging to Abbott and the Republican Party's already-toxic brand.

Numerous Musk companies are based in Texas, including SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla, X, and xAI. He donated $500,000 to Abbott's campaign and $250,000 to Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows. At the same time, Musk has received billions in tax incentives and tens of millions in grants. From the outside looking in, it certainly looks like quid pro quo.

If there's nothing untoward in these emails, why won't Abbott just release them?

The Texas Newsroom filed a public records request to obtain the documents in 2025, but Abbott's office objected to the release and remarkably corrupt Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sustained the objections, with an order to release some of the materials. They were heavily redacted.

“The people of Texas and the people of House District 49 are concerned over the growing power of tech giants in Texas regarding our tax dollars, resources, and data,” Hinojosa wrote in a letter to Abbott in September, asking to review the redacted information. “In light of the expanding influence of tech CEOs in Texas and the close working relationship between government and the corporate tech industry, transparency is essential for accountability, which is why I’m writing.”

In her new lawsuit, Hinojosa revealed that Abbott rejected her request. Now, she's escalating the fight.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that the files be released!

BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin...

"I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?"

"How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked.

Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.

The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.

"The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?"

"If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus."

"Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.

We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased.
