In June, a USA Today analysis found that Donald Trump and his businesses “have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades” — a number which is “unprecedented for a presidential nominee,” even one with a long business career. He currently faces multiple pending civil […]

Only in hindsight will we be able to fully appreciate the utter strangeness of the 2016 election. Each day brings unprecedented and alarming developments. Take this new press release from the Clinton campaign, which is like something out of a Jason Bourne film, but is frighteningly real: In response to a new report from Slate showing that the Trump […]

At 12:57 PM on October 29, Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, an avowed Hillary Clinton opponent, tweeted the following: FBI Dir just informed me, "The FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation." Case reopened — Jason Chaffetz (@jasoninthehouse) October 28, 2016 Those twenty-four words shook the political world, […]

President Obama admonished Trump to “stop whining” before Election Day. Obama isn’t alone. Many Americans are troubled by Trump’s willingness to impugn the integrity of our democracy simply to shield himself from the potential embarrassment of defeat. We decided to capture Trump’s whining in video form, with a bit of creative editing to illustrate how childish it is. […]

The second presidential debate was preceded by a surplus of drama, but the moment of the night is fast becoming Donald Trump’s declaration that if elected, he will do everything in his power to see that Hillary Clinton is imprisoned. Clinton: Good that someone with Trump's temperament isn't in charge of US law Trump: "Because […]

Over the course of his business career and during his 2016 campaign, Donald Trump has spewed a steady stream of abominations, virtually any of which would disqualify him for the presidency. None of these offensive words and actions have stopped Republican leaders and their allies in the corporate media from backing his candidacy. That is, until a lewd audio recording […]

Donald Trump, during remarks before an audience of veterans: “When people come back from war and combat and they see maybe what the people in this room have seen many times over, and you’re strong and you can handle it, but a lot of people can’t handle it.” Compare this to President Obama’s response to a […]

The 2016 election is an inflection point in U.S. history. As the first Black president’s second (successful) term winds down, a highly accomplished woman stands to break another historic barrier. Opposing her is an intemperate bully who has openly embraced white nationalism. Stunningly, that unqualified bully has received far more favorable media coverage than she […]

To Donald Trump, everything is a game. Asked about his position on President Obama’s country of birth, he promised a statement later in the day, saying this: “We have to keep the suspense going.” Asked by @MariaBartiromo if @BarackObama was born in the US, Trump says he will make statement today: "We have to keep the […]

https://twitter.com/anamariecox/status/776913384625344513 In August, Trump said at a rally: “Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick— [boos from audience] If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.” That led to […]

Economic policy does not exist in a vacuum, but in the real world with real consequences for real people. And while individual choices do make a difference in one’s financial security, the range of opportunity to any individual person, in which their choices are made, has an even bigger impact. A candidate who advocates economic […]

One of the questions surrounding the Trump Foundation is why Trump hasn’t contributed any money himself since 2008. Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold may have found the answer: Because Trump was reportedly directing money owed to him or his businesses to the foundation. The laws governing the diversion of income into a foundation were written, […]

The New York Times sounds the alarm about the upcoming presidential debates: There was not much of a contest in [NBC’s Commander-in-Chief] forum with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Mrs. Clinton answered the questions of the moderator, Matt Lauer, in coherent sentences, often with specific details. Mr. Trump alternated between rambling statements and grandiose boasts when he […]

Matt Lauer’s moderation of NBC’s Commander-in-Chief forum was widely panned—and deservedly so—but Lauer’s fault was not that he did something unusual. To the contrary, Lauer’s performance was a one hour microcosm of a year’s worth of media coverage. It included the three core elements of what has been a relentless double standard: Antagonism and scorn for Clinton, an unhealthy obsession with her emails, and sheepish acquiescence […]

Eric Boehlert highlights an incredible statement from presidential debate moderator Chris Wallace, offered during an interview with his Fox colleague Sandra Smith: While Hillary Clinton has long been more transparent than Donald Trump, he conceded, Trump is now winning the transparency debate on health. How could he justify this contention? Because, as Boehlert explains: Wallace […]

Here is a sample of what it would be like if Hillary Clinton switched places with Donald Trump: #JustImagineHillary saying our military is the gang that couldn't shoot straight. — Peter Daou (@peterdaou) September 20, 2016 #JustImagineHillary saying a woman's pregnancy is "an inconvenience for a business." — Mindy Mendelsohn (@MindyMendelsoh1) September 20, 2016 https://twitter.com/VonHammersmark7/status/778052295430987776 https://twitter.com/anne_seely/status/778056005854728192 […]

Speaking to Sean Hannity in 2015, Donald Trump said this: The problem we have right now—we have a society that sits back and says we don’t have to do anything. Eventually, the 50 percent cannot carry—and it’s unfair to them—but cannot carry the other 50 percent. Trump echoed the same sentiment in an interview with MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt: […]

If there is any lesson we learned from the Bush era, it’s that the answer to terrorism isn’t to undermine our own values. When we devolve into a culture of torture, when we curtail civil liberties, we play into our enemies’ hands. With that perspective in mind, read this June 29 NBC News article: Donald Trump on Tuesday […]

"Let her release emails. I'll release my tax returns immediately" – Trump, showing "routine audit" isn't why he won't release tax returns — John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) September 7, 2016 The full quote, from an interview with Bill O’Reilly, further reveals the disingenuousness of Trump’s rationale: I am under a routine audit, and when it’s completed […]

Watch: Oh really, @KellyannePolls? pic.twitter.com/sgLxeQwGmE — Bridge Project (@BridgeProject21) September 13, 2016 Except…just this morning, Kellyanne Conway did an interview with CNN in which she accused Hillary Clinton of lying about having pneumonia. “You can laugh all you want at [Trump’s] medical report,” she said, “but as far as I can see, there are two […]
