Steve Chaggaris, the political director for CBS News, was fired by the network after “accounts of inappropriate behavior” surfaced. In a statement, CBS News announced it had “severed ties with Mr. Chaggaris for violating company policy, effective immediately.” Since 2012, Chaggaris served as the outlet’s senior political editor, then was promoted to political director in […]

In its endless and unprecedented attempt to criminalize Donald Trump’s political opponent, there’s a new report that Jeff Sessions’ Department of Justice is moving to investigate Hillary Clinton, yet again, for the handling of her private emails while she was secretary of state. It’s an issue that has already been exhaustively explored by the FBI […]

The editors at Vanity Fair magazine offered the latest proof that a lot of journalists didn’t learn any lessons from the relentlessly condescending and sexist coverage of Hillary Clinton’s historic presidential candidacy. But their effort to mock and talk down to the former first lady, secretary of state, and first woman nominated by a major […]

During Jeff Sessions’ confirmation hearing in January to become Donald Trump’s attorney general, he stressed that he would never personally oversee any investigation of Hillary Clinton. That’s because during the 2016 campaign, he had been so forcefully (and recklessly) critical of her. Sessions announced that meant he had a conflict of interest and would recuse […]

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia reached new stages last week, as former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI, Trump confessed to obstruction of justice on Twitter, and Trump’s lawyer insisting it is legal for the president to break the law. But as far as counselor to the […]

If you thought things couldn’t get much worse for Donald Trump after Friday’s guilty plea by disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, then you don’t know Donald Trump. On Saturday, Trump made what appeared to be an extraordinary admission that he knew Flynn was guilty of lying to the FBI when he fired Flynn, […]

The tragic events in Benghazi in 2012, which led to the death of four Americans, spurred a series of shameless, opportunistic kangaroo courts and investigations by House Republicans desperate to find wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton. The biggest investigation was the Select Committee on Benghazi, lead by South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy — who this […]

On Tuesday, both Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Sean Hannity unveiled stunning new flow charts that were supposed to help track the myriad of players who make up the latest phony Clinton scandal – the seven-year-old sale of a Canadian uranium company. It was a sale then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was only tangentially involved […]

Last week, Democrats all across the country turned out in droves to secure massive victories in Virginia and New Jersey, as well as pick up seats in New Hampshire and Georgia and flip the entire West Coast blue. It was a validating and satisfying triumph of the resistance against Donald Trump, one year in the […]

As the Russia investigation has heated up, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have increasingly clung to the discredited Uranium One “scandal” as a means of changing the subject to their favorite target, Hillary Clinton. Attorney General Jeff Sessions even explored appointing a second special counsel to investigate the matter — a gross abuse of […]

As special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation reaches Donald Trump’s inner circle, those closest to him are growing increasingly desperate to avoid the topic of Russia altogether. This was what White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway was surely hoping to do Sunday morning when she appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources. Unfortunately for her, throwing shiny objects […]

As the Trump administration braces itself amid the wave of indictments coming down from special counsel Robert Mueller, many Republicans want to deny the investigation is even happening. And some, like right-wing Fox News personality Sean Hannity, apparently do not even want to acknowledge who the president being investigated is — at least on a […]

Roger Stone, the racist dirty trickster and informal adviser to Donald Trump, has revealed the real reason the right wing is trying to dredge up old debunked conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton. It’s a deliberate and terribly desperate smokescreen to get special counsel Robert Mueller off Trump’s back. In an interview with the right-wing Daily […]

Donald Trump apparently thinks the best use of the State Department’s time and resources is not to focus on matters of diplomacy and global relations, but rather on a far more important task: digging up dirt on Hillary Clinton. One of the most remarkable aspects of Trump’s foreign policy is how little latitude Secretary of […]

Adopting a surreal political strategy of effectively treating private citizen Hillary Clinton as if she were president of the United States, Republicans announced Tuesday not one but two congressional investigations targeting her — one of which stretches back nearly a decade. One of the inquiries will revisit, yet again, the issue of Clinton’s private emails […]

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 […]

Always finding a way to turn Hillary Clinton into the villain of any unfolding national story, Fox News and other conservative commentators turned their ire on her following one of the deadliest mass murders in U.S. history, displaying more scorn toward the former Secretary of State than toward the gunman who killed 58 people in Las […]

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign memoir, “What Happened,” continues to be a publishing juggernaut. During its second week in stores, it remains the best-selling book in America, selling nearly 100,000 hardcover copies, according to a publishing source with access to weekly NPD BookScan sale information, which tabulates the publishing data. In its first sales week, “What […]

Giving voice to the rodeo of injustices that apparently stampede around his brain, Donald Trump jumped on Twitter Friday morning to rage once again about his election opponent from 10 months ago. Specifically, Trump whined loudly about Hillary Clinton’s supposedly adoring press coverage from last year: The Russia hoax continues, now it's ads on Facebook. What […]

Hillary Clinton’s new book is shaping up to be publishing blockbuster, with news that the recently released “What Happened” sold more than 300,00 copies its first week in stores. That’s the best first-week sales performance in five years for any non-fiction hardcover book, according to NPD BookScan, which tabulates the publishing data. The book also […]

Humiliated by the small number of supporters that turned out for Saturday’s supposed “Mother of All Rallies” in Washington D.C., Donald Trump started his Sunday by obsessively tweeting about the woman who beat him by 3 million votes in November. This is nothing new for Trump, who cannot seem to let go of his fixation […]

Hillary Clinton says Ivanka Trump’s ongoing silence, as her father Donald Trump continues to stoke the fires of racism and bigotry, makes her complicit in enabling hate. In an interview with Refinery29, Clinton was asked if she believes that Ivanka is “complicit” in the Trump administration’s actions, particularly since she has been promoted by figures […]

Donald Trump has never made his racism a secret. After all, his political career was largely launched by his hateful birtherism campaign against President Barack Obama. And his presidential bid was gleefully supported by not just majorities of white America, but specifically by neo-Nazis and the so-called “alt-right” — groups which still see Trump as […]

For a man who technically won the White House — despite losing the popular vote by millions — Donald Trump cannot let go of Hillary Clinton. And he proved that yet again on Friday morning. Trump has tweeted about Hillary Clinton dozens of times since the election. In July alone, he complained about Clinton a […]

Fox News is almost singularly devoted these days to spinning, cheering, and defending Donald Trump. And its latest hire is no exception. Tomi Lahren, the 25-year-old conservative who is best known for being fired from Glenn Beck’s The Blaze and for being forced to admit that she benefits from Obamacare despite her persistent bashing of […]

Kellyanne Conway has Hillary Clinton on her brain. While she insists that is not the case, she continues to be exposed on this front by none other than Kellyanne Conway. In an interview Thursday on Fox Business, which is as pro-Trump as its sister network Fox News, despite the supposed focus on business news, Conway […]

It was one of the most memorably disturbing moments of the 2016 campaign. During the second debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, while Clinton was answering questions, Trump loomed merely a few feet behind her, following her around the stage and remaining in the line of sight of the TV cameras. Clinton later told […]

As the investigation into Donald Trump’s ties to Russia heats up, his supporters are taking to the internet to assert that Trump’s campaign did not collude with Russia — and even more remarkably, that collusion with Russia is not a crime. Those assertions are simply not correct. The testimony of former FBI Director James Comey made […]

Democrat Jon Ossoff’s loss in a special election in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District to Republican Karen Handel, by a margin of 3.8 percent, disappointed Democrats and led to criticisms of Ossoff and the Democratic Party. As is often the case, many of the criticisms were not based on facts. Ossoff was criticized for not being […]

Nearly 22 years ago, Hillary Clinton offered the world a succinct and enduring idea of social justice, which continues to serve, in our new political reality, as a rallying cry for women and allies across the country and the around the world. “Human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights.” And Clinton […]
