Dr. Phil Opens Up About His Role In Trump’s Police State

/

Dr. Phil McGraw, the daytime television psychologist-turned-Trump surrogate, really wants you to believe a ludicrous claim: He is just not that into politics. “I don’t think I’m qualified to talk about politics,” he told the New York Times, in a new profile published on Sunday.

White House Doubles Down on Baseless “Rigged” Claims About Poor Jobs Data

The shock and outrage over President Donald Trump firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commissioner because of weak jobs numbers seems increasingly bipartisan.
