Melania Trump’s Weird, Vague Letter to Putin

/

First Lady Melania Trump tends to be seen more often than she is heard. But when she does speak, it’s often hard to forget. Take, for example, her infamous profanity-laden tirade against having to decorate the White House for Christmas, per tradition, and criticism for being “complicit” in the policy of separating immigrant families during […]

Report: Half of Trump’s Judicial Nominees Have Anti-Abortion Records

/

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. This is absurd. As my colleagues Inae Oh and Isabela […]

Trump Will Restore a Confederate Monument in the Nation’s Capital

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.
