After holding just two public hearings in 2017, and two weeks after one of its own members sued the commission for violating federal law, Mike Pence’s impotent presidential commission on alleged voter fraud has officially gone dark for the rest of the year. Questions now persist whether the panel will even bother reconvening in 2018. […]

Mike Pence has told lie after lie about the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia and his own role in and awareness of the various elements of that scandal. Pence likes to try to portray himself, with furrowed brow, as an honest man who has no idea whatsoever about any nefarious dealings between his cronies and […]

The shocking new release of emails between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks, which shows the duo actively collaborating for months in an attempt to spread emails stolen from the Clinton campaign by Russian hackers, is a massive blow to Trump’s repeated denials that his campaign worked with foreign saboteurs. But it is in particular a […]

Mike Pence promoted Roy Moore to millions and once pledged to speak up on “great moral battles,” but is now actively avoiding personally commenting on the serious allegations of child molestation facing Moore. On the night of the primary, Pence tweeted about Moore to his 2.69 million followers, writing, “Congratulations Roy Moore! We are thrilled […]

Claiming that the White House’s so-called “Election Integrity Commission” is basically a sham operation and that many participants are left completely in the dark, one sitting member filed a lawsuit in federal court on Wednesday demanding that the task force operate in a legal and ethical manner. Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap, a Democrat […]

There are few better examples of how much of a snake oil salesman Donald Trump is than the latest news of even more layoffs at Carrier. The company just announced that over 200 employees will lose their jobs at the Indianapolis plant in January. That follows Carrier’s decision earlier in the year to fire 300 […]

After a weekend of speculation into who would be the target of the sealed indictment, we now know it to be Donald Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort — who has had numerous shady dealings with foreign oligarchs favorable to Russian President Vladimir Putin. On Monday morning, Manafort turned himself in to federal authorities. Also […]

Mike Pence, once thought to be an anchor who could rally conservatives to the administration, has instead seen his own popularity plummet in tandem with Donald Trump. His presence in the White House is not even enough to make his former state of Indiana approve of the administration. Nothing better demonstrates Pence’s inability to save […]

Mike Pence told an audience of veterans and Gold Star families that the Trump administration would provide deployed military the “support” they need to confront America’s enemies, but that isn’t what happened to the four soldiers murdered in Niger. Pence was speaking at an event commemorating the 34th anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Marine […]

As Donald Trump continues to degrade the dignity of his office, Vice President Mike Pence is frantically zipping around all over the country to one event after another fundraise and win political support. In the past month, Pence has done everything from selling tax reform at a joint appearance in New York with a Republican […]

The Republican plan to slash money from Medicaid and Medicare and eliminate middle-class tax deductions to give money to corporations and millionaires is increasingly imperiled by public distrust. But Mike Pence’s efforts to sway public opinion are doing little to inspire confidence, particularly considering the people with whom he is choosing to campaign. Tuesday, Pence […]

Donald Trump has openly pandered to the religious right, and selected Mike Pence as his running mate to appeal to these voters, but a new report shows that behind closed doors, he mocks them just like he demeans everybody else. A new report in The New Yorker reveals that on multiple occasions, Trump has ridiculed […]

Mike Pence traveled to the reddest district in Virginia Saturday to headline a rally for GOP gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie, where was he was greeted by a half-empty room. Rally organizers had said they expected a turnout of about 1,200 people at the event in Washington County, VA, which Politico referred to as “one of the few […]

The tax scam being endlessly pushed by Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and the Republican Party is nothing but a giveaway to the wealthy at the literal expense of everyone else. Even Trump himself was recently forced to admit that his previous promise that he wouldn’t personally benefit from the plan was a lie. “Well, what […]

Mike Pence has been under increasing scrutiny for his use of a private AOL email account as governor of Indiana, and for his attempt to hide behind his lawyers when he finally deigned to hand over some of state-related emails. It wasn’t until early August — nearly six months after leaving the governor’s office — […]

Americans are angry about Mike Pence’s decision to use hundreds of thousands of dollars for a carefully orchestrated political stunt at an NFL game, and a government watchdog group is now seeking answers. Pence flew on a government plane to Lucas Oil stadium in Indiana where he appeared for a only few minutes at a […]

With the Trump administration languishing under a week of abysmal news coverage and collapsing poll numbers, Vice President Mike Pence threw red meat to the GOP base by continuing Donald Trump’s culture war against black NFL athletes protesting police brutality. It soon became clear that Pence’s walkout from an Indianapolis Colts game, ostensibly over the […]

In a bout of widely mocked political theater, Mike Pence and Donald Trump tried desperately to reignite their sagging cultural war with the NFL by staging an expensive Pence walk-out of a game on Sunday. The stunt was clearly planned well in advance, and Pence elaborately advertised the move via Twitter with a long string […]

The attacks by Donald Trump and his administration on athletes protesting racial injustice had begun to fade from the front pages as other embarrassments for the White House piled up. Trump’s empty responses to the hurricane in Puerto Rico, his insults toward Puerto Ricans and the mayor of San Juan, his dangerous bluster on North […]

The duplicitous nature of all those around Donald Trump becomes more evident every day. In the most recent example, a federal court forced Kris Kobach, vice chair of the Orwellian-themed “Election Integrity Commission,” to hand over documents related to his voter suppression efforts. The documents outline, in stark detail, sinister efforts to make it harder for […]

A Trump administration photo op went horribly off the rails when a Puerto Rican citizen confronted Mike Pence about Donald Trump’s bizarre trip to the island in the wake of the hurricane. Pence traveled to Orlando International Airport and greeted a group of people who had just arrived from the island. They were meeting with […]

As Donald Trump visits Puerto Rico on Tuesday to assess the administration’s slow-motion response to the humanitarian crisis involving 3 million American citizens, Mike Pence continues in his role as hurricane attack dog. In recent days, loyalist Pence has sided with Trump in singling out island officials as being part of the disaster relief problem. […]

Mike Pence arranged a secret meeting between his personal lawyer and FBI special counsel Robert Mueller to discuss the details of possible cooperation on the ongoing Russia investigation. Politico reports that the rendezvous, which was previously unreported, occurred in June. The sit-down between attorney Richard Cullen and Mueller happened soon after Pence hired him for […]

Mike Pence says NFL players should no longer have the freedom to publicly voice their opposition to racism. Why? According to Pence, the use of “national” in the name of the National Football League means players must stand during the national anthem. Pence made his bizarre comment at a campaign rally for Sen. Luther Strange, […]

Donald Trump’s not only in denial about the burgeoning Russia scandal, as he continues to dismiss it as a hoax. But his pattern of constant lying, and Mike Pence’s fabrications too, will soon emerge as the basis for a historic American political scandal, says Republican strategist Steve Schmidt. “We will find everything that happened. With […]

Just as the Trump administration sent Mike Pence out to stump for the Graham-Cassidy health care bill, Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain announced his decision to oppose the plan, leading to more humiliation for a feckless Pence and potentially killing the legislation. While Donald Trump simply tweeted about the bill, Pence was positioned — as […]

The Graham-Cassidy health care bill Republicans are trying to ram through the Senate at the last minute is so horrible that everyone from insurance companies, to doctor and patient groups, to state public health officials, to Republican governors, to late-night comedians, have come out against it. The bill would cut health care for roughly 32 […]

Sounding more like a lawyer than a vice president, Mike Pence, out of nowhere, told CBS News that he was “not aware” of any collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. And these unprompted comments come as there are significant developments connecting the top levels of the Trump administration — including Pence — to […]

Standing up next to Donald Trump can be a good thing — in that basically anyone would look better in light of Trump’s ignorance, crassness, and blatant love for obvious and appalling lies. Mike Pence has benefitted from that comparison in much of the corporate media coverage of the Trump campaign, now the Trump White […]

Donald Trump and his merry band of white supremacists continue to work day and night to make life harder for non-white Americans. In the latest chapter of skullduggery, the voter suppression commission, led by Mike Pence and chief voter suppression champion Kris Kobach, is refusing to follow federal law regarding proper use of email, according […]
