Saturday Night Live had a field day with both Trump spokes-liar Karoline Leavitt and Trump himself over their response to the newly released Epstein emails during the cold open on this weekend:…

I’ll bet you that Alan Dershowitz is the guy Megyn Kelly (a former lawyer) was referring to when she said recently that “somebody very, very close to this case who is in a position to know virtually everything” essentially persuaded her that Jeffrey…

Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made an appearance on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo this weekend, and was asked about Americans' concerns over affordability, and Bessent did his best to deflect and blame all of their problems on…

Republicans have had fifteen years to come up with a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, and all they've done in the meantime is undermine it and do their best to destroy it. Their replacement is the same as it ever was -- go back to the days where…

Trump and his Republican enablers have been alleging that former President Joe Biden used an autopen, and that, to them, is a bigger scandal than the current president's staggering corruption. House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer went so far as to…

File this one under the "imagine if Joe Biden did this" category. Trump was asked on Air Force One this Friday about his "perfect" MRI scan during a recent visit to Walter Reed, and the brain-addled Trump couldn't explain why he needed it or what they scanned.…

In what was mostly a lovefest for retiring Senator Jeanne Shaheen, at least one person took exception to her cave during the government shutdown. The government has since reopened, but with no guarantees of extending ACA tax credits, leaving many to question…

On this day in 1977 Close Encounters Of The Third Kind premiered, and it had all the things. Aliens. Abductions. Conspiracies. A cross-country race to find answers. Solid cast. And yet, truth be told, if I had a couple of hours to kill watching something…

A key Atlantic current could be pushed to the brink of collapse within decades, ushering in a new ice age and dramatically raising sea levels, climate scientists claim in a study just published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment. No need to…

I think this says it all, don't you? I've been reading through the Epstein emails because that's a thing I like to do, but I took a break last night and went to a book signing with AFT President Randi Weingarten. She signed a copy of her new book "Why Fascists…

Whether or not Rep. Don Bacon shuts up and slinks back on the MAGA train, taking these shots on CNN at President TV Watcher has got to endanger ketchup bottles in the White House. More importantly, it sends a public message that Trump’s MAGA lackeys in…

Could this guy be a bigger slimeball? Look who went running to Newsmax to whine about the newly released Epstein emails -- former Epstein and Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz:…

Donald Trump is big mad that Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken to the airwaves and social media to voice her displeasure at many of his recent actions. But, for some reason, I think his un-endorsement of her will help her more than hurt her, especially if she…
