The word goon has been ruined for my purposes so guess we're going with Crony this week.
There were so many stories this week entirely caused by Trump Cronies chewing on the infrastructure.
Just gonna say it now, I will have zero shorts out today! (Heck, I’ll probably re-write the description tomorrow)
Somehow this script was over 5k words, and I had to cover everything from midnight judge meetings, open defiance of court orders, Kash Patel gifting ghost guns to foreign officials, fandom drama, and a CEO turning an old meme into a nazis dog whistle over the course of 3 days!
I'm so freaking tired y'all. I didn't even cover the whole thing of Trump threatening to shutdown the entire government unless democrats agree to discontinue healthcare for trans folks.
I didn't talk about how even writing the Sumud Flotilla story or setting up it's image keeps bringing me to tears because I'm so happy people are starting to really fight for Palestinians, but I still can't shake the feeling the same folks aren't fighting for their trans neighbors.
What I did talk about those, well, there was a lot.
Dang y'all, I keep having too much to tell you about as these weeks keep getting weirder!
It's time once again for an episode of Muttday Morning News, Now with more edits, and an interruption from future editing Phenn.
It's not all about the shootings, but, there is a lot. We've got some rumors to fact check, a couple democrats to shame, republicans and even farther right fascists to mock, and a bunch of weird Nintendo and Pokémon news that reminded me of something very important about Nintendo.
We're covering a lot today, from weirdly inept, though no less dangerous, authoritarianism in the US, admittance of a war crime… I almost miss getting to reference press releases instead of DOJ X posts. Oh, also Itch payout concerns, and a featured story Of Banally nested evil around that Visa job posting.
