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. Several Republican senators told NBC News that they did not support Trump’s firing of Erika McEntarfer if it was, in fact, motivated by his displeasure over the poor jobs numbers released […]

The FDA Held a Misinformation Fest About Antidepressants in Pregnancy

/

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long railed against antidepressants, and now he has very practical ways to attack them. As my colleague Kiera Butler has written, Kennedy has claimed, without evidence, that they can cause addiction and school shootings. He even proposed sending people who take them to “wellness farms,” […]

Trump Reaches a Breaking Point Over Epstein Files

President Donald Trump seems unfamiliar with the Streisand effect, the phenomenon of inadvertently drawing more attention to an issue by trying to make it go away. The president on Wednesday unleashed another rant on Truth Social, claiming, without evidence, that Democrats are behind the uproar over the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Referring […]

Let’s Count All the Ways Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Angry With President Trump

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)’s fealty to President Donald Trump has, for the most part, seemed nearly unshakable. She has compared him to Jesus Christ. She has repeatedly—and falsely—claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him. And she reportedly wanted to be Trump’s VP, claiming to the Guardian that her name was “on a […]
