🖕Epstein, Inflation, and Flood Maps—Oh My! It’s Another Feral Tuesday in Fascistland!

Trump’s Epstein Stink Bomb Is Ruining MAGA Carpets

While Trump snorts that the Epstein file scandal is “sordid but boring,” Speaker Mike Johnson just flip-flopped harder than a sunbathing manatee and called on the DOJ to release the documents. MAGA world is eating its own tail over whether to protect their perv pals or pretend they care about justice. Meanwhile, Bondi’s out here waving around imaginary “client lists” like a Dollar Store Nancy Drew.
Fact check: Johnson did call for the release. No one has seen an official list. Pam’s just waving her paws around for clout.

Tariffs Strike Again, and This Time It’s Personal (Like Your Prescription Prices)

Trump’s economic “strategy” involves slapping new tariffs on everything from semiconductors to medications—so if you wanted insulin and a graphics card in the same week, prepare to choose one. Bond yields soared, and economists are warning that this move could slam the economy like a hairball on a hot rug.
Fact check: Tariffs confirmed. Inflation risk confirmed. Trump economic logic: still unconfirmed.

Texas Uses Climate Disaster to Redraw Democracy (into a Snake)

While Texans bail out their homes, Greg “Voter Suppression Cowboy” Abbott has called a special legislative session to redraw the state’s congressional maps—again. Floods? Infrastructure? Nah. Let’s rig some districts while people are too soaked to vote.
Fact check: Abbott is doing it. Trump’s team is cheering it on. Your voting rights are the ones drowning.

Trump’s Budget Cut Parade Wants to Murder PBS and Human Rights

The Senate is gearing up to vote on Trump’s rescission package that slashes $9 billion in foreign aid and—because why the hell not—funding for public broadcasting. Apparently, Big Bird is a communist.
Fact check: The vote’s real. The cuts are real. The cruelty? Also very, very real.

Voter Suppression Order Still Stinks Up the Place

Don’t forget that Trump’s early 2025 executive order is still slithering around. It forces ID checks on mail-in ballots, lets DHS “audit” voter rolls, and strong-arms states into MAGA-flavored compliance. It’s the kind of democracy where only the fascists get ballots.
Fact check: It’s real, it’s active, and it’s being challenged—but not yet overturned.

TODAY’S TO-DO LIST, LITTLE RESISTERS

🖕 Call your reps and demand the Epstein files go public. Bonus points if you ask them what Bondi’s been smoking.
📢 Submit public comment to the Fed and say “hell no” to the Tariffpocalypse.
✊ Support Texas voting rights orgs—because no one else is gonna save democracy while the water’s rising.

RESISTANCE KITTY SAYS:

The fascists are scared. That’s why they’re flooding the news with chaos, covering up crimes, and redrawing maps like insecure toddlers with crayons. But guess what? We’ve got claws. And we’re not declawing for comfort. We’re scratching back for justice. So stretch those paws, sharpen your rage, and show up loud.
