Bill Cassidy Is Still In Denial About RFK, Jr.

/

Back in February, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) went to great lengths to justify his decisive vote to confirm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary. Cassidy, a physician and chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, demanded, among other things, that if confirmed, Kennedy would ensure the Centers for […]

So What’s Next for MTG? Her Latest Social Posts Don’t Clarify Much.

/

What will Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) do after her shock resignation from Congress in January, announced on Friday? Good question. President Donald Trump, for one, already seems to be reversing course on their breakup. Not long after (again) calling her a “traitor” on Truth Social on Saturday, the president told NBC News he would […]

The Feds Suddenly Want to Drop Their Charges Against a Woman Shot by a Border Patrol Agent

/

Remember the horrifying text messages that caught a Border Patrol agent bragging about shooting someone in Chicago last month? Well, it seems that those texts—and the looming release of even more potentially damaging messages—are now prompting federal prosecutors to move to dismiss their charges against the woman, who prosecutors had accused of assaulting an officer. […]

/

The entrepreneurs who are part of the booming school safety industry face a cruel irony: they are dependent on the uniquely American epidemic of school shootings. “Every time there is a shooting, we see an uptick in business,” says one, featured in the new HBO documentary Thoughts and Prayers, who sells bulletproof wall art and […]

Don’t Be Fooled: Marjorie Taylor Greene Still Wants to Reconcile With Trump

/

There was a time when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) compared President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ and called him “the greatest President of my lifetime.” Those days are over. As I wrote back in July, Greene has been increasingly critical of Trump’s second term in office: She has railed against his decision to launch […]

Megyn Kelly Suddenly Finds Pedophilia Very Hard to Define

/

Megyn Kelly is known for offering absurd takes that nobody asked for. There was her insistence that Santa Claus is white, for example, and her claim that wearing blackface used to not be so bad (that one got her fired from NBC News). Wednesday, on her eponymous SiriusXM show, Kelly picked another hill to die […]

Distraught, Betrayed, and Mad as Hell: Your Takes on the Shutdown

/

On Monday night, the Senate passed a bill that marks the first step towards potentially reopening the government after the 42-day shutdown. For Democrats, the bill comes with a major cost: It does nothing to address the rapidly-approaching expiration of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies which, according to health policy think tank KFF, will more […]

In anti-abortion Republicans’ latest attack on abortion pills, Florida’s attorney general is suing Planned Parenthood for allegedly misrepresenting the safety of the drugs—despite the fact that more than 100 scientific studies have shown they are safe and effective.

Newsom Keeps Teasing a Presidential Run

/

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) keeps teasing a potential presidential run…again, and again, and again. It began in earnest last month, when, in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Newsom admitted he would “be lying” if he claimed he did not plan to consider a 2028 run after next year’s midterms. He continued to fuel speculation […]

An immigration enforcement officer who shot a US citizen in Chicago last month bragged about the incident in texts afterwards, according to court documents filed in federal court on Wednesday.
