Go George!

BREAKING: Hollywood legend George Clooney enrages MAGA world by slamming Trump in a new interview, says that news networks should tell him "go f*ck yourself."

And America's beloved leading man was just getting warmed up...

“It’s a very trying time,” Clooney told Variety. “It can depress you or make you very angry. But you have to find the most positive way through it. You have to put your head down and keep moving forward because quitting isn’t an option.”

“I knew him very well,” Clooney added. “He used to call me a lot, and he tried to help me get into a hospital once to see a back surgeon. I’d see him out at clubs and at restaurants. He’s a big goofball. Well, he was. That all changed.”

Of course, the reality is that Trump has always been a pathetic, venial man. He used to masquerade as a Democrat because he liked ingratiating himself with celebrities and lived in a blue city, but he never truly believed in liberal principles. The moment that power was within reach, he tore away his mask to reveal the leering visage of a fascist.

Clooney — who directed and starred in a film about CBS News standing up to Joseph McCarthy during his red scare hearings — also addressed the disheartening fact that CBS News settled a sham lawsuit with Trump so that he would rubber stamp a sale of its parent company Paramount. ABC News reached a similar settlement with the deeply corrupt president.

"If CBS and ABC had challenged those lawsuits and said, ‘Go f**k yourself,’ we wouldn’t be where we are in the country," said Clooney. "That’s simply the truth."

Clooney went on to slam billionaire David Ellison's installation of right-wing hack Bari Weiss as the editor-in-chief of CBS News. Ellison, a close ally of Trump, chose Weiss because she could be trusted to spike any stories that might upset the White House and because she is fervently pro-Israel.

"Bari Weiss is dismantling CBS News as we speak,” said Clooney. “I’m worried about how we inform ourselves and how we’re going to discern reality without a functioning press.”

The criticisms are well-founded. Weiss recently ignited a firestorm by strangling a "60 Minutes" segment entitled “Inside CECOT" at the last minute, supposedly because it was “not ready.” In reality, she was doing Trump a favor by blocking robust reportage on the brutal, inhumane conditions inside the Salvadoran prison that he illegally sent deportees to.

The Weiss-Ellison story is part of a broader, troubling trend in the news media. We are losing access to the truth as billionaires buy up once-reputable publications to push their oligarchic agenda. Clooney is brave to speak out and it falls to all of us to amplify his message.

CBS, once the home of Edward R. Murrow, has become a state mouthpiece. So, so sad.

BREAKING: How a South Park writer just SABOTAGED Trump’s Kennedy Center renaming scam.

Just when you thought the Trump rebrand machine couldn’t get any tackier, reality delivered a punchline even Saturday Night Live couldn’t write.

As the Trump-appointed board rushed to slap Donald Trump’s name onto the Kennedy Center — a cultural landmark meant to honor art, not ego — they forgot one tiny detail: someone already grabbed the web domain. And not just anyone. A comedian.

While workers were literally bolting Trump’s name onto the building, comedy writer Toby Morton was sitting back, refreshing his inbox, watching the chaos unfold… on a website he already owned.

TrumpKennedyCenter.org? Taken. TrumpKennedyCenter.com? Also taken.

And not by Trump and his minions — but by a satirist who’s made a hobby of turning conservative branding exercises into political self-owns.

Morton, a veteran comedy writer with credits on South Park and Mad TV, saw the writing on the wall months ago. Having previously acquired domain names related to MAGA reps such as Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, and Marjorie Taylor Greene for his satiric web-based purposes, the writer knew exactly when to spring into action.

As Trump purged the Kennedy Center board and replaced it with loyalists, Morton quietly scooped up the domain names, anticipating exactly what would happen next. And happen it did, completely validating his prescience.

Now, as Trump attempts to immortalize himself by stapling his name onto a national arts institution, Morton is preparing to turn the whole thing into a digital roast — one that mocks the ego, the vanity, and the absurdity of a president treating a cultural landmark like a piece of personal merch.

The irony is rich: Trump can rename buildings, bully boards, and slap his name in gold letters across history — but he can’t control the internet. The satire has already landed and will get even more savage once Morton decides on the content he’ll add to the sites.

And in a twist that feels almost poetic, the man who once rebranded casinos, steaks, universities, and water bottles can’t even lock down his own name online.

As Morton put it, once art becomes ego, parody becomes inevitable. Some monuments are built to last. Others exist just long enough to be laughed at.

Honestly being overworked makes people unobservant and passive and it literally kills people every day. People don’t seem to realize that an overworked nurse might not notice your sepsis symptoms and a tired truck driver might not notice your car when he’s merging into the lane. Failing to protect worker’s rights impacts nearly everyone

Tumblr user kiralamouse:

THIS. I want workers to be treated well for their own sake, but I NEED workers to be treated well for MY sake. We have got to stop glorifying eroding margin into the negative zones.

Go Bernie!

We’re told that rural America doesn’t like progressive ideas.

Not what I saw today in our great rally in Altoona, WI - population 9,200.

The people here, and throughout the country, understand that health care is a human right and that we need an economy that works for all, not the few.

The losses at two Native American schools were part of the Trump administration’s purge of federal workers. A partial reversal has done little to allay fears.
