Trump: I'm The Fertilization President!

During a Women's History Month event earlier, Trump claimed if Congress passes his tax cuts for the rich then there will be plenty of goodies in the bag for ladies. Huh?

Social Security Admin Backs Off On Some Of His New Restrictions

The Social Security Administration yesterday backed off planned cuts to phone services for disabled and some elderly Americans applying for benefits amid massive pushback. Via the Washington Post: The originally proposed changes -- scheduled to take effect Monday but now delayed to April 14 -- would have directed all people filing claims to first verify their identity online or in person, removing a phone option in place for years. Advocates said the shift would make it impossible for many disabled and elderly people with limited mobility or computer skills to apply.

Hillary Clinton On SignalGate: 'The Hypocrisy Is Staggering'

Hillary gets to speak out about Signalgate. Via Glamour: So Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server led to calls for her to be imprisoned, but Pete Hegseth and friends can have a Signal group chat about bombing a terrorist group and it's no big deal? Apparently so, and while it's infuriating, it's not overly surprising.

Dr. Jonas Salk Announces Polio Vaccine

In 1952, there were around 58,000 cases of polio reported in the US, and children were most affected by this horrible disease. Polio attacks the nervous system and can cause different degrees of paralysis. The virus was highly infectious, so breakouts occurred many times in the early 1900s. On March 26, 1953, Jonas Salk announced he had successfully tested a new vaccine.

MAGA Still Wants To Ban Chemtrails

I don't want to say that the MAGA/MAHA gang is stupid as hell, but that's only because it's so self-evident. The old but still favorite conspiracy theory about chemtrails is on the rise again, and this time they mean business:

Ron Johnson Endorses Good Old What's His Name

Sen. Ron Johnson (Q-Moscow) went on the Charlie Quirk show to talk up Brad Schimel, the MAGA candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The only problem was that RoJo couldn't remember Schimel's name, which led to about five seconds of awkward dead air as RoJo looked like he was trying not to soil himself. It wasn't until Quirk gave him a prompt that RoJo was able to blurt it out. RoJo tried to laugh off his brain fart as a "senior moment."

Receipts Pour In After Hegseth Posts Ridiculous SignalGate Defense

Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, tried to slam Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic's newest article, in which the editor-in-chief released all of the messages from Trump officials' Signal chat after he was inadvertently invited into the group chat. Hegseth took to the Bad App to lash out at Goldberg, but it's a strange flex. "So, let's [sic] me get this straight. The Atlantic released the so-called "war plans" and those "plans" include: No names. No targets. No locations. No units. No routes. No sources. No methods. And no classified information," he wrote.

Co-POTUS Floats Idea Of Financial Compensation For Jan. 6 Rioters

It wasn't enough for co-president Donald Trump to grant clemency to about 1,500 rioters, so now he's floating the idea of monetary compensation for his supporters who stormed the Capitol, including hundreds convicted of assaulting police, carrying firearms, and destroying property. This is where your tax dollars would go, you guys, as Donald continues to rub his attempted insurrection in our faces. And why not? After all, Donald and his enablers are busy trying to erase that day from history. You know, the day that 'tourists' got out of hand in an attempt to overthrow a free and legitimate election.

TRUMP Pimps Out The EASTER BUNNY For Corporate Cash Grab

David Shuster explains how Donald Trump even finds a way to turn the annual White House Easter Egg Hunt on the grounds into a gauche, gross opportunity for for even more corporate corruption. Trump has added sponsorships so billionaires, corporate interests, foreign dictators, oligarchs and even the drug cartels he claims he wants to send troops to Mexico to hunt down (which is idiotic in and of itself) can purchase access to most greedy, venal, morally sick man--by far--to ever occupy that itself.

'Makes Me Want To Throw Up': Jim Himes Hits Will Cain Over Pathetic Signalgate Spin

Rep. Jim Himes wasn't taking any of Will Cain's crap when Cain accused him of trying only being outraged over the national security breach by the incompetent idiots in the Trump administration because he wanted to use it for partisan advantage. I hate seeing Democrats on Fox, but if you're going to go on the right wing propaganda network, this is the way these asshole hosts deserve to be treated.

Steve Bannon Livid That A Republican Should Have To Testify

MAGAt grifting scumbag Steve Bannon was furious that CIA Director Ratcliffe answered any questions during today's Congressional hearing on the leaked Signal group chat. Members of any administration can be subpoenaed to appear at any congressional hearing, but Bannon is somewhat right when he says it's also to wage "political information warfare." Republicans have done it for years, and now he's pissed that Democrats are responding with actual investingations.
