It’s not easy being an advocate for the Affordable Care Act right now. Health care advocacy groups are making an against-all-odds effort to sign people up despite confusion and hostility fostered by Republicans opposed to President Barack Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement. The Trump administration has taken numerous steps to undermine the law, and many states are doing little to promote coverage as health insurance open enrollment begins this week. Health care advocates are particularly concerned about people in Republican-led states with hundreds of thousands of uninsured residents, like Florida, Texas and Georgia. Many of these groups are scrambling to...

Protesters interrupted a live CNN broadcast from the scene of the New York terror attack on Tuesday night to chant 'fake news'. Microphones picked up on the group's shouts as Anderson Cooper attempted to cover the Manhattan attack which killed eight and wounded 12.

The group appears to have been led by Laura Loomer, an outspoken Trump supporter who describes herself as a 'independent investigative journalist' online. Trump has repeatedly branded CNN 'fake news' during his press...

The first couple greeted, shook hands with, and gave candy to a procession of youngsters on the South Lawn — including one child dressed up as Melania Trump herself.

She also wore a white shirt, black pants, and sneakers, like the ones the first lady changed into after catching snark for...

People of all political persuasions agree: Rep. Frederica Wilson, the freshly famous Florida Democrat who clashed with President Trump, has a unique look. Now, some people plan to replicate it on Halloween. It’s not a complicated costume to pull off, requiring little more than a professional outfit topped with a colorful cowboy hat covered in sequins. And experts say dressing as the politician is not necessarily a bad idea. “I can’t speak to individual motivations in this specific instance, but people have been dressing up as political figures since the days in which those figures were kings and queens instead...

Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias “vigorously†denied his involvement in the anti-Trump dossier that has made up the substance of the Russian collusion allegations, New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said. Elias’ denial appears to have been intentionally misleading in light of new reporting from The Washington Post that Elias hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Elias reportedly hired Fusion to dig up dirt on Trump as part of a project that became the Trump dossier. (RELATED: Clinton Campaign And DNC Funded Trump Dossier) “When I tried to report this...

Kenneth Stern, a former CEO at National Public Radio, has a shocking new book out called Republican Like Me: How I Left the Liberal Bubble and Learned to Love the Right. After spending extensive time with conservatives, Stern realized that the national media are reporting from inside a liberal-dominated culture.

When you are...

Bush at Bannon's speech were the same people attacking him when he stood up against Bush's Wilsonian foreign policy when he was in the Oval Office. Scarborough said that he and his co-host and fiance Mika Brzezinski have "warned" for two years that Donald Trump and Steve Bannon are...

MSNBC star Rachel Maddow’s latest anti-Trump conspiracy theory was so outlandish that even the dependently liberal HuffPost criticized it as "so flimsy that it could be debunked by a quick glance at a map." On Thursday evening, "The Rachel Maddow Show" opened with a somber 25-minute diatribe that attempted to connect the tragic ambush attack that killed four American soldiers in Niger to the latest version of President Trump’s proposed travel ban, which included the nation of Chad. Maddow essentially claimed that the inclusion of Chad, which recently pulled its troops out of Niger, in the revised travel ban resulted...
