Trump Scolds Dr. Oz For Not Naming Maternity Program After Him: 'Put Me In There'

President Donald Trump complained that his name was not used to promote moms.gov, a new government website focusing on maternal health.

Trump announced the new website at a White House event on Monday.

"In recognition of this ambitious agenda to support American mothers, today we're announcing a new website that is online right now," the president said. "It's moms.gov."

"Moms.gov is a beautiful site," Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz explained.

"Well, I like TrumpRx," Trump grumbled, referring to a government website named after him. "I think I love moms, but I like TrumpRx. You put me in there, I gotta make sure. It gives me competition now."

Trump followed up his remarks by insisting that he was "only kidding."

"TrumpRx and Trump accounts, Trump Accounts has been amazing for the kids," he added. "The Trump accounts, where young kids, they turn 18 or 20 or 21, they feel like a billionaire. You used to say a millionaire, now you say a billionaire."

Trump Pledges Statewide Poll Watchers For Upcoming Midterm Elections

Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social to announce on Sunday that Republicans plan to deploy a large “Election Integrity Army” to every single state for the 2026 midterms. "Be assured this election will be fair," he wrote. Trump is like the guy, let’s call him John Barron, OK?, who shows up to a poker game with his own deck in hand, a metal detector, and an assortment of dubious characters, then says, "Relax, everybody, the game's totally on the level this time."

This is the same man who spent years treating "fair elections" like an infectious diarrhea, who is now promising it'll be super fair as long as his poll watchers outnumber the voters in key spots. The "assured" part is doing a lot of heavy lifting there—like a mob boss saying, "Nice democracy you got here, it'd be a shame if something happened to it."

With Trump's poll numbers in the shitter, while doing nothing for the American people to rectify that, he's growing increasingly desperate. And then there are the redistricting wars between Democrats and Republicans, after he pulled the first punch.

"Palestinian Chuck Schumer is hiring Eric Holder, famous for handing guns to Mexican cartels under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, as part of a Democrat-led "Election Integrity Group" that will no doubt try to suppress Republican voters, and interfere in our Elections," he insisted. "Furthermore, Marc Elias, a terrible lawyer with a horrible track record, is also involved."

Fox Pundit Tries To Gotcha AOC, Proves Her Right Instead

Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sat down for an interview with Ilana Glazer. During the interview, AOC made the argument that someone can't just earn a billion dollars:

AOC: There's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned, right? You can't earn a billion dollars.

GLAZER: That's right.

AOC: You just can't earn that.

GLAZER: That's exactly correct.

AOC: You can get market power, you can break rules, you can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they're worth, but you can't earn that, right?

GLAZER: That's right.

AOC: And so you have to create a myth that since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.

Jessica Tarlov agreed with AOC and cited her own examples to support AOC's position.

Well, all this was too much for Benjamin Domenech, aka Mr. Meghan McCain, to cope with. So he came back with what he was sure was the perfect rebuttal - the origin story of Jeff Bezos:

Wheels Come Off Tesla Cybertrucks - Recall Time!

Something tells me Elon Musk isn’t quite the genius he’s cracked up to be.

Or maybe the Nazi-coded Musk is spending too much time trying to become White Supremacist king of the country he probably immigrated into illegally.

In any event, his Tesla Cybertruck doesn’t seem anything like the “apocalypse-proof” vehicle Musk and his Tesla company touted it as. In fact, the vehicles could cause an apocalypse for someone who might be near one at the wrong time.

Just one year after Tesla Cybertrucks were recalled because of “flying trim,” which was after recalls over a stuck accelerator pedal, a flawed windshield wiper and other problems, there is now the problem of insecure wheels.

According to WIRED, the flying trim recall was because Tesla used the wrong glue. Now, Cybertrucks are being recalled because Musk's company used the wrong grease on lug nuts that hold the 18-inch wheel to the brake rotor.

Rep. Clyburn Tells Republicans Be 'Careful What They Pray For' With Redistricting

South Carolina is the latest state that has moved to cancel their primary election, even though people are already voting:

South Carolina Republicans took the first step Friday to cancel the state’s June primary election — to give more time to potentially pass a new gerrymandered congressional map — as absentee voting is already underway.

A South Carolina House subcommittee voted 3-2 along party lines to advance a bill that would move the state’s June 9 primary election to August 11, with the expectation that the legislature would redraw the state’s congressional map to dismantle its lone Democratic district, represented by longtime Rep. Jim Clyburn.

The vote came after the committee heard hours of public testimony urging lawmakers to reject pressure to delay the state’s primaries and draw new congressional maps. In all, 23 South Carolina residents testified against redistricting and moving the state’s primaries. No one spoke in support of either measure.
