But former President Donald Trump? He leaves office today the very same man who swore the oath of office four years ago. He leaves the very same man who launched his campaign for the presidency over five years ago. It is true he has been denied a second term. For now. But they also stole his first term from him.

From his first moment in office, they threw everything they had at him. They made...

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview on “The Rachel Maddow Show” that it was “chilling” how President Donald Trump “distorted” and “rejected” science. “It was such an unusual, aberrant situation where you had at the very top — and I don’t take any great pleasure in criticizing president leadership or the people around a president, but we had a situation where science was rejected, and a lot of pressure was put on individuals and organizations to do things that were not directly related to what their best opinion would be, vis-a-vis the science. I had pressure put on me,...

As many people are aware, CNN recently aired a wonderful interview by former Moonie-turned-cult-deprogrammer Steve Hassan giving advice to Americans wishing to deprogram their MAGA-hat wearing loved ones, now that the age of Trump is coming to an end.

For one thing, I used to enjoy my right to free speech… but thanks to...
