Fuckface says his convention speech got 107 million views, but Nielsen has it at 3.3 million across Fox News, Newsmax and NewsNation, while the NFL game that night drew 25.1 million. Even his own ratings fantasy got beaten by a football game.

I had a little bit of sadness not being able to watch Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business this morning try and find a way to lie about another bad jobs report to tell the audience why it’s really great news. It was always pretty entertaining, but of course it’s good she was fired.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge just HALTED the destruction of Big Bend. This is a massive victory for the landowners, local communities, and everyday Texans who stood up to protect one of our state's greatest treasures. The fight isn't over, but today, the people won.
Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.
