The court’s decision is a victory for voters, for democracy and for the rule of law in this country. I am pleased that the Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts’ decisions to stop this un-American rule from taking effect and creating chaos before the midterms.
"South Park" is changing its name to "South America" for Season 29.
“Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA. We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount -- a Skydance Capitulation," creators Trey Parker & Matt Stone said in a statement, trolling Trump for changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America (and Google and Apple for accepting it).
Season 29 premieres Sept. 16th at 10pm ET/PT on Comedy Central. Additional new episodes will premiere Sept. 30, Oct. 14, Oct. 28, Nov. 11 and Nov. 25.

If the Trump administration is allowed to decide what is safe and appropriate healthcare for this population, what’s to stop them from meddling in everyone’s care? The administration’s unlawful actions should concern us all, as they affect us all: https://t.co/dW2e197MaQ
BREAKING: Donald Trump has quietly admitted defeat and privately signalling he's willing to end the Iran war without a nuclear deal if the Strait of Hormuz simply opens, a humiliating retreat from his demand for "unconditional surrender," per WSJ.
Trump privately told aides he would declare victory based on reopening the Strait — a far cry from his promises to "decimate" Iran's nuclear program. But Iran just raised the price of that exit: $300 billion** in compensation, **$100–123 billion in frozen assets, U.S. troop withdrawal, and an end to the naval blockade.
Trump wanted out. Iran is making him pay for it.
U.S. officials say Trump sees the Strait as his only viable exit. But Iran's new demands mean even that is now in doubt. Tehran knows Washington is desperate to leave — and is holding the waterway hostage until Trump surrenders on every point.
In a striking 19-page legal document filed late this afternoon, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro undermined everything that President Trump has been saying about the damage to the Reflecting Pool for the past six weeks.

Update from the reflecting pool! The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this.
