This is not a story about Rudy Giuliani insisting that the Robert Mueller investigation into Trumpo-Russian conspiracies is going to be over in two months, he swears this time! OR IS IT?…

Citing anonymous military officials, The New York Times reports the Myanmar military has been using Facebook to push anti-Muslim sentiments that encouraged the country's Buddhist majority to rape and murder the Rohingya people. Facebook admits the military…

Early voting for the general election began Monday, and you could say there are some signs of considerable voter enthusiasm. Like more three times as many people casting ballots than on first day of early voting in 2014. That would be 69,049 voters on Monday,…

We have a full post today with all your updates on this Saudi bullshit, as they continue to try to find anybody but themselves to blame for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and Donald Trump swallows every bite of bullshit they feed him. But you should…

Looks like Ryan Zinke's getting some new office furniture. And maybe a Get Out of Jail Free Card, that lucky scamp! Because the Republican hack dispatched to disappear Ben Carson's furniture problem at HUD is getting shifted over to the Interior Department to…

Hey! Remember this weekend when the New York Times got dragged all over the place for calling Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes a "provocateur" like he's some edgy new performance artist or 1980s Madonna instead of a deranged, violent bigot?…

For a while now, the one thing we could count on from Republicans is that they hated the Affordable Care Act. They hated it so much they called it "Obamacare," a term first used derisively by Mitt Romney in 2007.…

Beto O'Rourke and Ted Cruz held their second and final debate last night in Austin, with O'Rourke…

Hey remember all those times Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson testified for Congress for one million hours as Republicans tried to catch him in a real big lie, which is obviously that Hillary Clinton conspired with the Russians to create the DODGY STEELE…

NO BONE SAW! NO BONE SAW! YOU ARE THE BONE SAW! Last night, Donald Trump sat down with three AP reporters to shout nonsense about poor innocent Mohammad bin Salman being stoned to death like Brett Kavanaugh on the cross.…

Mitch McConnell staked out bold territory in an interview with Bloomberg News published Tuesday, explaining that with Republicans in control of the White House, House and Senate, there's almost certainly no possibility they'll ever take any action to control…

Morning Wonketariat! Here's some of the things we may be talking about today.…

We interrupt #HorseFaceGate and #BoneSawGate to make sure you saw the very most important news on the internet this week, and it is weird wingnut British idiot Piers Morgan getting his knickers in a twist because Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz made a baby and…

Okay, yes, it does look BAD when a dissident reporter disappears inside your consulate and is never seen again. But there's a perfectly reasonable explanation. See, the Saudis were just trying to interrogate and kidnap dissident reporter Jamal Khashoggi, and…

Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday, and you're going to hear a lot of fond memories about kids looking through the annual Wish Book for Christmas gifts (Yr Dok Zoom helpfully included item numbers in at least one letter to Santa), and much wise…

The number of Democratic presidential candidates for whom Donald Trump will have to come up with insulting nicknames might've increased by one last week when Mike Bloomberg changed his political party affiliation back to blue. (The former mayor of New York was…

Turning Point USA is a group for college Republicans led by Charlie Kirk. Their mission statement is "to educate students about true free market values." They are known for maintaining a Professor Watch List that lists professors who are liberals -- "liberal…

While Yr Wonkette would never want to be accused of admiring nasty old hate-tortoise Mitch McConnell and his gang of thugs, we do have to admit a grudging respect for his amoral efficiency at using his position as Senate majority leader to Achieve Republican…

Well! Our president who cherishes women is cherishing women in public again! Because he is a lazy fuck who doesn't actually go to work in the morning, Donald Trump reacted on Twitter at around 11 AM to a federal judge tossing out Stormy Daniels's defamation…

There is something very wrong with Carter Page. Maybe it's not right to laugh at someone so dimwitted that he files a pro se suit against the DNC and its lawyers alleging RICO and RICO conspiracy. There's a good reason that the Russians overlooked his…

Just in case anyone was under the impression Donald Trump's family separation policy was all over and done with, we've gotten all sorts of reminders this week that not only is the New Cruelty still chugging along, but Stephen Miller and his merry band of…

In a truly heartrending interview on a National Review podcast, Tucker Carlson reveals that the political climate has become so very toxic and nasty that he is unable to go to restaurants anymore without people yelling obscenities at him. In other news, the…

Fabulous news, everyone, because there's a new leading light in the #Resistance! No, not Taylor Swift. We are talking about Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former thug fixer "lawyer" dude, who has pleaded guilty to all these crimes and whom the feds and state…

Morning Wonketariat! Here's some of the things we may be talking about today.…

By now you know the story, because it is a tale as old as time. Democratic senator lady scares dumbfuck white conservatives, so they dig into her past for something to OWN THE LIBS on about her, they find she claimed at one point in her professional career to…

Time to take out the trash, California! You are far too cool to keep sending that cow-loving fake farmer from Fresno, Putin's little buddy in Orange County (whose funding got yanked last week by CLF, lol), and that smarmy Bakersfield Tea Party bastard to…

Believe me, it's easy to become desensitized to the random annoyances and mundane horrors of living while black in America. Yet some events are so egregious, they stand out and simultaneously demand that we stand up. Thanks to the twin innovations of cell…

Have you seen that video of CNN dudes Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo that's going around, as they spend a hand-off making fun of Tucker Carlson's demeanor and Tucker Carlson's face and Tucker Carlson's entire sad existence? It is cute, if you like CNN! (Negatory.)…

The weekend brought new developments in a couple of stories of heinous vote-suppression fuckery we covered last week. In North Dakota, Native American voting rights activists have announced plans to ensure people can vote even after a Supreme Court decision…

Don't worry, America. Donald Trump argle bargled ten thousand stupid words to Lesley Stahl last night, but he still has plenty left. He's like the strategic reserve of derp -- we will never run out. Or escape.…
