Report: Anti-Abortion Leaders Helped Tank Trump’s Promise of Free IVF

/

Anti-abortion advocates haven’t just played key roles in rolling back abortion rights in recent years. They also helped tank President Donald Trump’s campaign-trail promise to make in vitro fertilization free. That’s according to a new report published Saturday in Politico, which reveals that anti-abortion activists—some of whom are opposed to IVF because it involves discarding […]

George Santos Is Already Back on Network TV

/

In a ridiculous social media post the day before he headed off to federal prison for what was supposed to be a more than seven-year sentence, disgraced ex-congressman and known fabulist George Santos wrote, “I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit.” Less than three months later, Santos […]

Trump and Johnson Are Melting Down Over The Success of “No Kings”

/

Saturday’s “No Kings” protests were, as my colleagues chronicled, about as wholesome as you could imagine. There were inflatable animals. There were American flags galore. Even the New York Police Department admitted that the 100,000 protesters were peaceful and that cops made no arrests; police in Washington, DC and Austin, Texas said the same. But […]

So Much for Trump’s Promise of Free IVF

/

In the Oval Office on Thursday, several Cabinet members and advocates for in vitro fertilization (IVF) gathered to claim that President Donald Trump was delivering on his campaign trail pledge to radically expand access to the popular but expensive process for getting pregnant. In reality, Thursday’s announcement falls far short of Trump’s prior promise to […]

No One in the GOP Hitler Chat Was a “Kid”

/

Vice President JD Vance would like you to do anything but pay attention to those abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday. And if you do read them, he wants you to think they’re just “kids” saying “edgy, offensive” things. Except that they appear to be full-grown adults, according to Mother […]

The White House Is Already Walking Back Hundreds of Federal Layoffs

/

In Donald Trump’s second term, federal workers have gotten used to being fired and re-hired, and, in some cases, even fired again. As one probationary employee at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) told me earlier this year, working for this administration is “emotionally very turbulent.” This weekend, scores more federal workers are […]

Americans Aren’t Buying Trump’s Shutdown Blame Game

As Democrats and Republicans trade accusations over which party is responsible for the government shutdown, new polling suggests that President Donald Trump’s efforts to falsely claim—in social media posts, on television, on government agencies’ websites, and in internal directives to federal employees—that Democrats shut down the government because they want to provide “free health care […]

The Government Shutdown Means No Jobs Data—Conveniently for Trump

/

One of the many casualties of the government shutdown is the critical jobs report administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)—and much maligned by President Donald Trump—which economists say is especially needed in light of predictions that the US could soon enter a recession. The BLS data, which features estimates of employment and earnings […]
