An Ohio woman filed a lawsuit accusing a hospital and her doctors of amputating the wrong leg during an operation last year. The 74-year-old woman is now a double amputee after the correct surgery was later performed at another facility.

Great point - what the hell do we have to show for all this debt? And this $40 trillion debt didn't fall from the sky. It came from a 25-year policy of cutting taxes on the wealthy and profitable corporations while paying for two credit-card wars by borrowing. That's the story. #FightTheRight

Iowa Farmers Union just endorsed Democrats in all five federal races. Then cattlemen in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas said the raids would raise the price of beef. Farm country was not supposed to do that.

A carpenter showed up for court. ICE locked him in a room built for 10 that had 150 people in it. He sued the same day. A year later the judge made the mat, the pillow, and the lawyer call permanent.

yesterday, Preznit Fuckwit lost FOUR court cases — and a whole lot of other good stuff happened as well. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain why today is truly a Good News Friday. whooda thunk it? link is here: bit.ly/4d4uBrC
Good News number one: a lot of this shit has been flying under the radar, but judges and courts continue to cordially invite Donny — along with his like-minded flunkies and acolytes — to go fuck themselves.

here’s one that was definitely under the radar.

long story short: back during the 2024 campaign, three days before the election, the Des Moines Register published a poll showing mean old Kamala Harris with a three-point lead over God’s Own Avatar on Earth. of course, that’s not what happened. Donny won Iowa by 18 points — but because Donny is the most-broken-inside piss-baby in the universe, instead of forgetting about the one bad poll and getting on with his infuriatingly charmed life, he went ballistic and sued the paper and the pollster, for being very very mean to him.

yesterday, an Iowa district court shitcanned the lawsuit, ruling that there’s no First Amendment exclusion for being a dumbfuck who got his feeling hurt by words.

This was Helsinki. I think I might have an explanation for why Putin looks so smug and Trump looks so crestfallen. In a June 24, 2018 email, Jeffrey Epstein asked Thorbjørn Jagland, former PM of Norway, to suggest to Putin that Epstein be called to gain "insight" into Trump ahead of Helsinki.
