The White House is treating the fate of innocent Americans like a joke.

Trump had nothing to say about the latest mass shooting until the press called out his silence, and his press secretary had no excuse to offer.

Fox contributor, anti-feminist, and devoted Trump fan Tomi Lahren is hardly in a position to tell women why they should march.

Doing nothing “clearly worked.”

“It’s absolutely appropriate …”

Fact: Americans don’t actually love Trump.

Rep. Beto O’Rourke, the leading Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, took Sarah Huckabee Sanders to school on crime rates in El Paso.

Her attack might have violated ethics laws.

The Trump administration’s alternate reality meets actual reality, and it doesn’t know what to do.

Following in the dubious footsteps of Sean Spicer, Sarah Sanders continues to lie to Americans (and the world) from her perch as White House press secretary. Sanders was asked about a haphazard series of tweets Donald Trump wrote about FISA, the act that lays out how and when the government can conduct surveillance, balancing the […]

First-term Republican Congressman Greg Gianforte of Montana gained national notoriety last year for body-slamming a reporter on the eve of the special election — an incident for which he was convicted of misdemeanor assault even as he was seated in the House. Democrats are now jockeying to take him on. Among the candidates who have […]

Donald Trump’s inability to understand the issues facing America’s national security and the fight against terrorism led his press secretary to viciously attack a reporter who tried to pry the truth out of the White House. Press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about a haphazard series of tweets Trump wrote about FISA, the act lays […]

Donald Trump and his inner circle have repeatedly expressed frustration that voters are not crediting them for the state of the economy. But the reason is not that complicated. And on Wednesday evening, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders accidentally admitted that reason when she tweeted out the latest Quinnipiac University poll: 66% of voters […]

Donald Trump and his allies are fiercely resisting the allegations in Michael Wolff’s explosive new book, “Fire and Fury,” that Trump lacks the basic mental competence for the day-to-day functions of the presidency — a question that even before the book’s release, was being hotly debated. But White House attempts to beat back the allegations […]

Donald Trump’s presidency has seen many a bizarre moment with the press, but somehow, he manages to find new and bizarre ways to abuse them and the American people. Such was the case Thursday afternoon when White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took to the podium amid a chaotic news cycle that features serious […]

Donald Trump’s White House is arguably the most dishonest in American history, with not just his spokespeople but his own Twitter feed a constant source of demonstrably false statements. But that hasn’t stopped the White House from expressing outrage at what it claims are falsehoods in a new bombshell of a book about Trump’s embarrassingly […]

Donald Trump’s latest nuclear threat against North Korea has dominated news coverage since he made it, and on Wednesday afternoon, his chief spokesperson somehow made things worse. At the White House daily briefing, Trump’s unhinged conflicts were a recurring theme. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders fielded many questions about Trump’s public falling out with former […]

For all of his attention-seeking, Donald Trump has spent most of his time as president hiding from accountability by refusing to hold a solo press conference. His last such event was on Feb. 16, 2017, which was 320 days ago. It was the only one of his presidency so far. At Tuesday’s first White House […]

On the fifth anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting that claimed 26 lives — including 20 young children — Donald Trump didn’t bother tweeting any message of condolence or remembrance. His silence reflects the administration’s do-nothing approach to gun violence, which White House press secretary Sarah Sanders made clear on Thursday. Asked by […]

The day after the Trump administration removed yet another high-profile black woman from her job in the White House, they were unable to name a single black staffer working on the Trump team. Former “Apprentice” contestant and Donald Trump apologist Omarosa Manigault-Newman was removed from her White House position — and from the White house […]

Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders asserted a schoolyard defense to justify Donald Trump’s latest degradation the office of the presidency by sending out demeaning and sexist tweets. In the daily White House press briefing, Sanders was asked by Fox’s Jon Decker why Trump could not restrain himself when responding to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). Trump […]

For the Trump administration, no news is good news, because almost any news is “fake news.” And the stubborn, panicked fear of journalists doing their jobs is pushing this White House to extremely undemocratic ends. During a contentious press briefing Monday, Sarah Huckabee Sanders grew visibly and vocally aggravated with CNN’s Jim Acosta, when he […]

Donald Trump’s sexually predatory chickens are coming home to roost, thanks in part to new calls for accountability from his accusers and from Democratic leaders. At Monday’s White House press briefing, press secretary Sarah Sanders made perhaps the most absurd attempt yet to push back on what we all already know. Sanders spent a good […]

Under pressure to name any of Donald Trump’s accomplishments as the calendar winds down on his first year in office, and unable to point to any bills passed or agenda items completed, the White House has of late begun to point to rolling back regulations. But it turns out even this desperate grasp is more […]

“Alternative facts” just won’t die in the Trump administration. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took the latest stab at attempting to supplant actual reality with the Donald Trump version of it, in which everything good is thanks to him, and anything bad is the fault of someone, anyone, often everyone, else. Sunday morning, Sanders took […]

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is actually trying to shame civil rights hero John Lewis for disrespecting civil rights heroes like … John Lewis. The Georgia congressman and Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson announced they will not be attending the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum on Saturday because Donald Trump will be there, saying […]

Nine million kids in America are about to lose their health care, and Donald Trump couldn’t care less. Funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) expired on Oct. 1, and several states are warning American that their children’s coverage could be terminated, but neither Trump nor fellow Republicans in Congress have done anything about […]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders could only muster a weak defense when a reporter challenged her to clarify why Donald Trump has given his full-throated endorsement to Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. Near the beginning of the daily White House press briefing Tuesday, Sanders said Trump was backing Moore despite the credible allegations of child molestation against […]

Donald Trump kicked off his week shrouded in controversy, from his unequivocal endorsement of Roy Moore, to his cheerleading for a near-universally loathed tax bill, to reversing decades of U.S. policy on Israel, to opening up protected monuments to oil and gas drilling. But reporters arriving at Air Force One in Utah on Monday quickly […]

Donald Trump’s Twitter feed is a toxic stream of lies, misspelled and misused words, childish attacks, jaw-dropping narcissism, and promotions for Fox News. In the last 24 hours, it’s also been a platform to promote anti-Muslim videos by a far-right extremist — a move that is receiving widespread criticism, at home and abroad, and particularly […]
