Seems like every day now we're getting a veritable flurry of news about Special Counsel Jack Smith's various investigations into Donald Trump, the Crime Criminal Of Crime Town. It's probably going to be like this until the day when Smith locks him up for the…

Marjorie Taylor Greene has a very stupid plan for impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and today's hearing in the House Judiciary Committee is being viewed by some as the first step toward Republicans actually doing that…

We are just saying, Tucker Carlson was seeing a man about a yak, and we figure somebody should ask the White House about that.…

The wildfire season has started, perhaps the worst time of the year for those of us who enjoy fresh air and breathing. More than 400 fires have…

In Ocala, Florida, a white woman was finally arrested yesterday, several days after she fatally shot a Black mother whose kids the white lady had been yelling at earlier. Prior to the shooting, the white woman, Susan Louise Lorincz, 58, had allegedly been…

If there is anything good ("good") about the increasing radicalization of Republicans into insurgent Nazi anti-LGBTQ+ hate terrorists, it's that more Democrats — hell, all normal people — are learning how to treat these people with the respect they…

Well, now we know what it looks like when Tucker Carlson doesn't have a budget or a name for his show or writers or talent or a bath or a purpose. It was "Tucker on Twitter," which suddenly happened last night seemingly because Tucker hadn't given Vladimir…

When Kyrsten Sinema won the Democratic primary nomination for Senate in 2018, she received the full endorsement from Planned Parenthood Action Fund. Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said, "Kyrsten Sinema is the leader Arizona needs, and Planned Parenthood…

Last week, President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an agreement to raise the debt ceiling, which spared America from financial ruin. The resulting deal passed in Congress with significant kicking and screaming from MAGA hardliners, who…

Intelligence community whistleblower has been telling Congress about some "retrieved aircraft" of "non-human origin," leading to a lot of bickering in the chat cave with some people insisting the physics aren't possible and some correct people explaining YOU…

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sure has come a long way from 2014, when he angered fossil fuel lobbyists by saying that climate change deniers should be jailed. Or maybe not such a long way; by 2005 he was already spreading the anti-vax gospel and falsely claiming that…

This afternoon a federal judge in Florida issued an injunction on the enforcement of the state's ban on gender-affirming healthcare for minors. And while the order is limited to a small number of plaintiffs seeking hormone treatments on behalf of their…

Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu is officially not running for president. He's probably carefully studied the polls and realizes he'd just embarrass himself. He nobly doesn't want his one percent polling average to help Donald Trump run away with the…

California Gov. Gavin Newsom just can't seem to understand how funny it is for red state governors to scoop up asylum seekers who've recently been released by the federal government and then send them to blue states, proving that ain't nobody want 'em, not…

Everybody in the Fox News clown car is taking a turn rubbing their butt all over Tucker Carlson's old seat, and this week, we guess it's Harris Faulkner's time to shine. It's hard to put into words how fake Harris Faulkner is. It's like you told an AI to…

Failed far-right gubernatorial candidate Kandiss Taylor, who was somehow elected a Georgia Republican district chair, is very upset that people keep pushing their round Earth lifestyle in her face. On a recent episode of her "Jesus, Guns, and Babies" podcast,…

This is one of those stories we are going to take with a grain of salt and a million droplets of chlorinated water until we read it in an indictment, because it is just too hilarious and weird. Also, just "CNN." But they are reporting that a "Mar-a-Lago pool…

I’m too much of a Scully to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life. If aliens could defy physics and master interstellar travel, they presumably could avoid having their crafts shot down by puny human technology or noticed by even punier human…

Let us be clear here. In no world does the fact that a tiny handful of trans kids play high school sports — no literally, it's like somewhere between five and 15 nationwide — and want to compete accordingly with their gender identities have anything to do…

“The real opposition is the media," Steve Bannon famously boasted in 2018. "And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”Bannon's strategy is to spew such an endless firehose of invective and misinformation that journalists give up…
