Trump and team torn to pieces in season finale of 'South Park'

The season finale of "South Park," which premiered Wednesday night, delivered a beautifully crass takedown of President Donald Trump and his cabal of Cabinet members. Now in its 28th season, the show is enjoying its strongest ratings in years, thanks in no small part to its ruthless satire of the deeply unpopular Trump administration. Here's a not-safe-for-work snippet of some of the melodrama leading up to the finale.

Nancy Mace shows she can be so much more than transphobic

Where does Republican  Rep. Nancy Mace find the time? She's a 24-7 transphobe, a lady you do not want to find yourself in line with at the airport, and a creepy bathroom cop. But since she's sort of a Renaissance Man of bigotry, she cleared a bit of her schedule to introduce a bill that would require the renaming of Black Lives Matter Plaza to "Charlie Kirk Freedom of Speech Plaza." Mace announced this in a press release on the three-month anniversary of Kirk's death, because apparently, we celebrate three-month anniversaries of people's deaths now? Do we have to do this monthly?

How Missourians rose up against gerrymandering: GOP is 'terrified'

When President Donald Trump pressed Missouri's GOP to help him rig the 2026 midterm elections, they passed a map that is expected to give the party one more seat in the U.S. House. But everyday Missourians have put their foot down. People Not Politicians, a political action committee, swiftly began gathering signatures to force a statewide referendum that would allow voters to get the final say on the gerrymandered congressional map. And on Tuesday, the group showed up at Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskin's office with 691 boxes containing the signatures of over 300,000 residents who want to put the referendum on next year's ballot.

Trump's economic approval hits all-time low

Just 31% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's handling of the economy, a new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released on Thursday found, the lowest number Trump has ever received in his two terms in office. The 31% approval rating marks a precipitous drop from the 40% he received in March, before Trump announced the moronic tariffs that have jacked up prices and weakened the jobs market, leading to fears of stagflation.

Trump's immunity demands go global

When it comes to the power of the courts, President Donald Trump has learned his lesson. Unfortunately, thanks to the United States Supreme Court inventing a new form of immunity to protect him from any consequences, the lesson Trump seems to have learned is that all courts, everywhere, should do the same.  So Trump is taking his show on the road to demand that the International Criminal Court agree never to prosecute him or any of his top officials who have been party to the straight-up murder of boaters in the Caribbean. If they won't agree, he's going to slap sanctions on the whole court.

Why Miami is the bellwether of anti-Trump backlash

Eileen Higgins wasn't simply elected Miami's first woman mayor on Tuesday: She will also be the first Democrat to hold the office since 1997, ending a nearly 30-year drought for the party. Higgins beat former city manager Emilio Gonzalez, her Donald Trump-backed opponent, by almost 20 points, 59-41. It's the kind of massive Democratic overperformance we're seeing everywhere, and it's a shot of energy for the city of Miami and Florida's long-demoralized Democratic community.
