Former Vice President Joe Biden is reluctant to admit that the Obama administration wasn’t spotless. The administration’s record of deportation, in particular, has already come to mar the shiny sheen of Obama’s legacy, and is emphasized by the Trump administration’s further villainization of immigrants, asylum…
This week, Meghan McCain revealed that she sleeps next to a photo of Dolly Parton and a copy of the constitution. Strange, I would have bet that she slept next to a photo of Joe Biden instead.
Senator Elizabeth Warren didn’t have a plan to escape a haunted submarine, but with the help of comedians Desus Nice and The Kid Mero, she managed. The presidential hopeful was quick on her feet on Thursday’s episode of Showtime’s Desus & Mero as she trawled around for hidden keys and solved puzzles in a Boston escape…
Joining Republican lawmakers in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Kentucky, a Republican lawmaker in South Carolina now wants to ban and penalize gender-affirming care for trans children, filing a bill that turns the right’s latest talking point in their war on trans rights—that supporting trans children and teens is akin…
Senator Amy Klobuchar, a woman known for being quite abusive to her staff as well as her often misguided attempts at humor, has struggled, since she launched her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, to break out of the very large pack of candidates. Her lackluster performance to date is largely based…
During Congressman Devin Nunes’s opening statement at Thursday’s impeachment hearing, he misleadingly called out Democrats, claiming that they tried to obtain nude photos of the President from Russians posing as Ukranians. Representative Adam Schiff, who took the call where pranksters offered such materials in 2017,…
Remember the Rudy Giuliani associate who was arrested at the airport with a one-way ticket, the mark of a person who definitely didn’t do anything wrong? His name is Lev Parnas and according to reporting from The Daily Beast, Parnas helped arrange meetings for Rep. Nunes’s investigative work—likely into the Mueller…
When asked about how he would support the MeToo movement as president, Joe Biden gave an oddly violent answer that included offering his opinions on when it is okay to hit women.
Scott Warren, a humanitarian activist with the group No More Deaths in Arizona and low-key Beto O’Rourke lookalike, was acquitted Wednesday for the second time on charges that he illegally harbored undocumented migrants in the desert. In both trials (the first was declared a mistrial in June 2019), Warren was accused…
It’s both perfect and way too much to handle that we’re capping off six hours’ worth of the most consequential impeachment inquiry testimony yet with another Democratic debate. Earlier today Ambassador/rich guy Gordon Sondland testified that yes, Trump’s pressure of Ukrainian President Zelensky to investigate Hunter…
Unsatisfied with orbiting near the center of just one political controversy, Hunter Biden apparently officially has a secret baby in Arkansas, according to court documents filed in Independence County by lawyers for the child’s mom. The motions (to seal and for attorney’s fees) were published by the Arkansas…
Ariana Grande, a petite woman with an over-sized ponytail, officially feels the Bern. In a tweet she posted on Wednesday, she called Sanders “MY GUY” and thanked him for coming to one of her shows, which is a sentence that I could have never imagined writing. What else will 2019 bring us?
What to do when you’re an increasingly decrepit man with worsening eyesight whose already limited brain cells have been steadily leaking out of your ears, and you’re tasked with defending yourself in the midst of an impeachment hearing to a group of reporters?
Remember former Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh, who resigned in May amidst an ever-growing scandal over how she personally enriched herself by having local organizations, including the University of Maryland Medical System, buy copies of her *checks notes* self-published Healthy Holly children’s books? Now, federal…
Did Donald Trump, a man famed for his love of hamburgers, diet Coke, and the most sedentary of “physical” activities (golf), have a heart attack this past Saturday? This is all pure speculation, but I can confidently say... probably not, but maybe!
I used to think that young people swallowing a spoonful of cinnamon was the bottom of the internet barrel. But then, Mayor Pete’s campaign came along and made me realize that if we really put our minds to it, humanity is capable of ruining anything, including a very good Panic at the Disco song.
Given that American politics continues to look more and more like reality television everyday, in the Trump administration one day you’re in, and the next, you’re out. Such is the case for Mina Chang, a senior Trump administration official who today resigned from her role at the State Department because as it turns…
Donald Trump was all set to ban flavored e-cigarettes—until, it seems, he discovered people actually like them. Now he’s backing down on the ban, lest it cost him votes from key Juul-loving demographics. Michael Bloomberg would NEVER.
At a black megachurch in Brooklyn on Sunday, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg apologized for “stop-and-frisk,” the centerpiece crime prevention policy of his long mayoral tenure that aggressively targeted Black and Latinx people across the five boroughs. “Stop-and-frisk” led to the stopping of 685,000…
