WASHINGTON, D.C. — Members of Congress from both parties gathered on the Capitol steps Thursday to celebrate an impressive milestone: 42 consecutive days without passing a single piece of meaningful legislation. Flanked by confetti cannons and a banner reading “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED (AGAIN)”, House Speaker Mike Johnson praised the achievement as “a testament to bipartisan gridlock and the American tradition of doing absolutely nothing efficiently.” “This wasn’t easy,” Johnson told reporters. “There were moments when compromise almost broke out. But thanks to our unwavering commitment to finger-pointing and performative outrage, we stayed the course.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer agreed, calling…

Across the nation, Americans are heading to the polls with a familiar sense of dread and déjà vu, excited to once again choose between two people they’ve loathed since the Obama administration. “I haven’t been this unenthusiastic to vote since the last time I voted,” said Milwaukee resident Karen Duffy, clutching her “Settle For Less 2025” coffee mug. “It’s comforting, in a way. Like watching a bad movie you’ve already seen three times.” Pollsters describe the mood as “resigned enthusiasm.” A recent Gallup survey found 63% of voters are “very excited” to cast a ballot for the candidate they hate…
BAKERSFIELD, CA — In what legal experts are calling “the most accurate lawsuit in state history,” the California Republican Party filed suit Wednesday claiming that the state’s new congressional map “unfairly and maliciously” crammed all remaining GOP voters into a single two-car garage behind a Denny’s in Bakersfield. “This is blatant voter suppression,” said California GOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson, speaking from outside the garage, which reportedly holds the state’s entire registered Republican base — approximately 712 people, a Golden Retriever named Reagan, and three unopened boxes of MyPillow merchandise. According to the lawsuit, the newly approved map “disenfranchises millions…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Declaring that “America deserves the juiciest, most tremendous burgers in the world,” former President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will launch an ambitious plan to import record amounts of Argentine beef, promising to “Make Burgers Great Again.” Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago resort beside a towering grill shaped like the Oval Office, Trump said the move would “end the Biden beef crisis” and restore “strong, patriotic protein” to American dinner tables. “Under Biden, burgers are smaller, drier, and frankly, a disaster,” Trump told supporters. “People are biting into sadness. Under me, every burger will be well-done —…
DALLAS, TX — Southwest Airlines announced a bold new change to its boarding process Thursday, unveiling what it calls the “Democracy of Decibels” system — where passengers’ volume, not boarding group, determines when they can get on the plane. “We wanted to bring a sense of fairness and energy back to air travel,” said Southwest spokesperson Linda Clayborne, shouting into a megaphone at a press conference. “Now, whoever yells the loudest boards first. It’s simple, efficient, and absolutely terrifying.” Under the new system, passengers line up in front of the gate and are measured by decibel level using a sound…
PORTLAND, ILLINOIS — In a bold act of civic leadership that many are calling “either visionary or suicidal,” Mayor Keith Wilson announced Monday that the city will remove the protective fencing surrounding its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, assuring residents that law enforcement “will be on hand to restore order — probably sometime next week.” “Fences send the wrong message,” Wilson told reporters at a press conference held directly in front of the soon-to-be-unfenced ICE compound. “They create division, hostility, and a physical barrier between protesters and the property they want to vandalize.” When asked about the potential safety…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In what scientists are calling a “historic anomaly in the laws of political physics,” experts confirmed Monday that Hillary Clinton and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s public praise for President Donald Trump lasted a record-breaking 11 seconds before both figures abruptly reversed course and blamed him for “something, probably.” The incident occurred during a joint press conference where the two Democrats were commenting on Trump’s successful Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. “Well, I think we can all agree President Trump—” Clinton began, before freezing mid-sentence, blinking rapidly, and muttering, “Oh God, what have I done?” Witnesses…
Las Vegas, NV — Pop superstar Taylor Swift shocked fans and critics alike this week with the surprise release of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, a glitter-soaked concept record she described as “a deeply personal tribute to the women in sequins who made me who I am today.” At a press conference held in front of a neon-lit martini glass, Swift explained the inspiration. “When I was little, while other kids were learning the alphabet, I was watching showgirls teach me how to strut across a smoky lounge floor in five-inch heels. This album is my way…
Washington, D.C. — What began as a cheerful family tour of the White House’s East Wing soon devolved into a haunted literary séance when Vice President JD Vance surprised visitors by reading aloud from Hillbilly Elegy in the Briefing Room. The tour group — about 12 wide-eyed visitors from Ohio — had been admiring portraits of former presidents when Vance entered unannounced, carrying a leather-bound edition of his memoir. “Good afternoon, folks,” he announced, his voice echoing off the press-room cameras. “Please gather ’round. This is where history is made — and where I once described myself as a maladjusted…
In a move the administration is hailing as “the biggest spending cut in U.S. history,” the White House announced today that all 535 members of Congress will now be required to share a single bathroom, located in the basement of the Capitol. “This is about fiscal responsibility,” President Trump said while unveiling a rendering of the new “Legislative Efficiency Restroom.” “No more gold-plated toilets, no more taxpayer-funded bidets for these people. One bathroom. One America. One line that stretches around the block.” According to White House budget officials, the measure is expected to save at least $1.2 billion annually, mostly…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a move critics are calling “a bold reimagining of higher education priorities,” the Department of Education (DOE) announced Wednesday that nine universities would receive millions in new federal grants — on the condition they shut down their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices and replace them with fully stocked MAGA merchandise booths. “Instead of wasting taxpayer dollars on pronoun workshops and seminars about colonial microaggressions, students will now have access to affordable MAGA hats, Trump bobbleheads, and limited-edition ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ hoodies,” President Donald Trump said during the rollout, flanked by Vice President J.D. Vance and…
WASHINGTON—After the Senate voted down a House-passed bill to reopen the federal government, congressional leaders announced late Wednesday that the shutdown would continue, but lawmakers would simply “work from home indefinitely” to keep things running. “Just because the Capitol is closed doesn’t mean democracy stops,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, addressing reporters via a blurry Zoom feed with a cat filter accidentally activated. “We’ll continue to legislate as best we can—mostly from our couches, in sweatpants, with our interns delivering DoorDash.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries echoed the sentiment, insisting that “remote governing” would allow Congress to be even…
WASHINGTON—In a narrowly decided ruling Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered President Donald Trump to allow Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her position until she “at least demonstrates a basic grasp of how interest rates function.” The 5–4 decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, conceded that Cook “does not currently appear to understand the relationship between rates and inflation” but argued that removing her before she “locates a Wikipedia page on the subject” would be “premature and unfair.” “While it is true that Governor Cook recently described the federal funds rate as ‘a vibes-based suggestion’ and…
WASHINGTON—As Congress failed to reach a funding deal before the midnight deadline, the U.S. government officially shut down early Wednesday morning, sending shockwaves through federal agencies—but not through living rooms across America, where Netflix confirmed it would remain fully operational. “Sure, the Smithsonian is closed, national parks are barricaded, and 800,000 federal workers are furloughed,” said one Washington insider, “but as long as Love Is Blind drops its new season on schedule, the republic will endure.” Within hours of the shutdown, Google searches for “Is Netflix down?” spiked 2,000 percent, far outpacing searches for “What does a government shutdown mean?”…
