Trump's Legion of Doomed lawyers and liars are trying to "You're Fired" Robert Mueller and his team for taking a gander at Trump's tax returns. They're hoping to find "conflicts of interest," like when Mueller stopped attending a Trump trash palace in 2011.

SURPRISE! Zombie TrumpCare/McConnellCare is getting beaten back into the grave now that more and more Republicans are trying to disassociate themselves from killing their most reliable voter base.

Senate Republicans are blaming Mike Lee for screwing up their chance to finally kick all the poors off Dr. Uncle Sam's back.

Ajit Pai is not going to release 200 pages of documents related to an alleged cyberattack on the FCC shortly after John Oliver aired this story urging people to send pro-net neutrality comments because (apparently) there aren't any documents to release, and if there were any documents, they'd be covered under the Trade Secrets Act. So there!

The FCC is refusing to comply with a FOIA request to release 47,000 net neutrality complaints against the ISPs who have paid FCC Chairman Ajit Pai many Ameros to severely fuck up the Internet.

Deep inside a dark room on the Hill House Republicans are secretly trying to revive the ban on paying for military members to undergo gender reassignment, but don't bother asking them about the bill, they won't tell. Trigger warning, this story is full of ignorant quotes.

Sen.

Trump's people are killing hundreds of Wall Street regulations. So that's good.

The House Budget Committee has given the green light to a $163.5 billion spending bill that skull-fucks retirement plans of federal workers, AND allows them to fire federal workers for no reason. THIS IS NOT OK.

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Christopher Wray for FBI Director. His nomination now moves to the Senate floor; the Majority Leader expects to hold a vote before the August recess. Meh.

It looks like years of kissing ass may finally pay off for Anthony "The Mooch" Scaramucci, who is being considered for the White House Director of Communications.

The spokesman for Trump's legal team, Mark Corallo, has "You're Fired" himself presumably because he didn't feel like bitching out Bob Mueller on Fox News twelve times a day.

Trump's brilliant lawyer Marc Kasowitz has been sidelined now that Ty Cobb and John Dowd have taken over. Sounds like someone could use a drink.

It appears that Prince Kushner is still trying to trade visas for Ameros according to Chinese advertising campaigns working in conjunction with Kushner Companies. Grifters still grifting!

Mar-a-Lago applied to hire 70 foreign workers during "Made in America Week." I guess they're making the American Dream?

Somebody(s) made damn sure that Mark Zuckerberg never talked to any climate scientists during his trip to Glacier National Park. At least he met Gracie the Bark Ranger.

Betsy DeVos was speaking to an awful rightwing policy companyNPO and revealed that she feels she's earned a "badge of honor" from all her protesters. Those aren't gold stars and participation trophies, they're shattered dreams and middle fingers.

Qatar is blaming SOMEONE or something in the UAE for hacking its state-run media, but they're not necessarily blaming the UAE itself.

Israeli police have banned Muslim men under 50 from the al-Aqsa mosque/Temple Mount following a series clashes with police. Mass protests are expected later today to coincide with a Muslim religious week.

The Israeli military is stepping up humanitarian efforts in Syria now that Trump has decided to say "Fuck all ya'll" to the Syrian people.

Russia is experiencing its annual plague of locusts, which is either proof that God exists and has a sense of humor, or that Russia really is kind of a shithole.

Microsoft has been knocking out Russian hackers by building a back door into the Russian back doors, and then suing the people who own their websites. LOL, fancy that!

No, NPR was not trying to silence Milo Yiano-whatever, he's just being an attention whore since nobody wants his book.

Dame Peggington Noonington hath emerged an ink stained wretch to opine that one, Donald J. Trump, is no Ronald Reagan. Nay, none in the miserable Swamp have the legislative capabilities, nor successful career as an act-toir (having appeared in such films of pure Americana as "Mr. Cowboy Goes to the Water Hole") as her former love. Barf. [Archive]
