Of the nearly dozen gun bills lawmakers will soon take up, one is particularly noteworthy because it’s backed by unlikely allies: mental health advocates and a pair of House members who’ve long been at opposite ends of firearm legislation.

The official schedules released to reporters and the public by the Trump White House are slim enough as it is — a far cry from the late nights of Presidents Obama and Clinton, or the early mornings of President George W. Bush. But apparently they actually exaggerate the hours kept by Trump. A new glimpse […]

Author Michael Wolff is rapidly becoming one of Americas favorite people for his explosive expose of the Trump White House. Trump’s legal team sent a cease-and-desist letter to halt the production of Wolffs book, “Fire and Fury. Wolff’s publisher responded to the threat by moving up the release date by four days, and it was […]

2017 taught us a few important lessons: President Donald Trump is just as bad as we predicted. The craven soullessness of the Republican Party literally knows no bottom. The White House is staffed with incompetent racists. Mike Pence is complicit. The other lesson we learned is the one that frankly I was terrified we couldn’t […]

To be honest, last year’s Thanksgiving was so bleak, I’m not sure if I managed to tell my mother I was grateful for her sausage stuffing (I am, deeply and eternally). Sorry, Mom. This year is different. Sure, 2017 has brought us our share of national embarrassments, imminent nuclear threats, a variety of global crises, […]

After months of being harassed by Ed Gillespie’s campaign for simply trying to ask the Republican gubernatorial nominee questions, Shareblue Media reporter Mike Stark was violently arrested Saturday while filming the annual Annandale parade. Gillespie has repeatedly dodged questions from Stark about his increasingly racist campaign, uncomfortable endorsement from Donald Trump, and his use of […]

The war of tweets between Donald Trump and his own Republican members of congress reached a new level. Trump claimed that Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker had asked for his endorsement, and then dropped out after being denied. Corker responded with “the clapback of the year,” according to MSNBC anchor Joy Reid. It's a shame the […]

If you’re a woman who loves Hillary Clinton, it’s pretty easy to feel erased. We are treated to endless deep dives of the Trump voter: who are they, who wronged them, what is the specific nature of the anxiety that led them to vote for an ignorant embarrassment of a bigot. If you supported Bernie […]

Republicans released the text of the health care repeal bill they drafted in secret — and then scheduled a vote for two hours later. While the bill was originally pitched as a “skinny” repeal, the version ultimately released is a robust gutting of the American health care system that defunds Planned Parenthood and threatens coverage […]

Cosmopolitan magazine ignited a firestorm on the right when they released an innocuous enough list of women who had “generated 2020 buzz” as presidential contenders — featuring only Democrats. Because naturally, only Democrats are looking at running a campaign against Donald Trump, in the hope to make him a one-term president. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), […]

A breakdown of White House salaries was released late Friday afternoon, detailing the number of taxpayer dollars that pay the salaries of the known white nationalists Donald Trump chooses to employ, including Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and Sebastian Gorka. Bannon, architect of the “alt right” movement promoting white male supremacy that propelled Trump to the […]

One would think, listening to the devastated fallout of a nation looking in a thousand directions to make sense of our specifically American brand of massacre, that the clearest determinant of this behavior was political or religious affiliation. But in the predictably horrible rhetorical aftermath of the Virginia shooting this week, in which Rep. Steve […]

Vice President Mike Pence has retained outside counsel to deal with the investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible collusion with Russia, a bombshell that undercuts his carefully crafted appearance of non-involvement. Pence’s decision to hire former U.S. Attorney Richard Cullen comes just one day after officials confirmed special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Trump personally for […]

Once again, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a former prosecutor, was interrupted by Republican men on the Senate Intelligence Committee. This time, it was while she was attempting to question Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was testifying about the Trump campaign’s involvement with Russia, and his own interactions with Russian agents. Apparently, Harris’ male Republican colleagues […]

During his testimony before the Senate Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions really did not want to talk about his conversations with Donald Trump and the investigations into the campaign’s ties to Russia. Sessions repeatedly refused to answer questions from Democratic senators, while insisting he was not invoking executive privilege, as that is something only the president can […]

As the Senate prepares to pass an Obamacare repeal bill in secret, Capitol hill reporters were told Tuesday they can no longer film interviews with senators in the hallway, as they’ve been doing every day for years. The new conditions are striking. Not only does the senator being interviewed have to consent in advance, but the Senate Rules Committee […]

There’s a strain of thought that Republicans in Congress will stick with Donald Trump despite the heartburn, because he’s helping to finally enact the privatized trickle-down objectivist America of their dreams. The problem with that logic is that Trump isn’t doing that. Set aside the fact that Trump couldn’t explain conservative philosophy if you promised him three […]
