With no interviews and still no policies posted on her website nearly a month after she clinched the nomination, it appears that Democrats are simply going to focus on “vibes” to boost Kamala Harris. Sometime after Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus met with eight female, Democrat governors onstage at the Democrat National Convention, the group gathered to make what many are calling a cringe-inducing musical video in which they lip-synced to the song “Femininomenon.” The “queer song” by rising pop star Chappell Roan — an artist who says she was influenced by drag queens — is reportedly about her life as...

Trump’s federal election interference case sprang back to life on Saturday as the judge overseeing it scheduled a hearing in Washington for Aug. 16 to discuss next steps.At the hearing, the judge, Tanya S. Chutkan, will discuss with Mr. Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors in the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, how each side would like to proceed with a complicated fact-finding mission the Supreme Court ordered last month.

MSNBC historian Jon Meacham has some "advice" for the Republican Party: Drop dead. That was what Meacham was essentially saying on Friday's The 11th Hour on MSNBC that the only way to fix the Republican party (make it more like the Democrat Party) is to keep on losing.Let's just remember that Meacham isn't some disinterested historian. In 2020, he was a secret speechwriter for President Biden, until the conflict of interest surfaced. So naturally he wants the Republicans to lose, so he has more speech-writing opportunities, like that bunk about leftists "restoring the soul of the nation."

Two teachers challenging the constitutionality of compelled antiracism training have been ordered to pay nearly $313,000 in their Missouri school district's legal fees, under a ruling their lawyers called "overtly hostile" and "meant to scare off future lawsuits by parents and teachers." The Southeastern Legal Foundation is appealing U.S. District Judge Douglas Harpool's summary judgment in favor of Springfield Public Schools and the six-figure award against their clients Brooke Henderson and Jennifer Lumley, according to an 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals notice Friday.

The Trump-hating Arizona Secretary of State on Monday certified the state’s false election results. Secretary of State Katie Hobbs previously called Trump supporters “neo-nazis.” Katie Hobbs rushed to certify the election results despite major concerns about voting machine security, statistically improbable vote dumps in Maricopa County and other irregularities. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R), who previously vowed to wait to certify the election results until all litigation was resolved, also rushed to certify AZ’s results on Monday.

Monday on CNN, anchor Jake Tapper critiqued President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. Tapper said, “Health experts say the United States is in desperate need of a vaccine because President Trump and other leaders have so seriously mishandled any serious attempt to contain the virus within our borders. As of this afternoon, the U.S. is nearing 4 million confirmed cases in the United States, and that’s growing, almost 141,000 lives have been lost. That number is also sadly growing. He continued, “We have already seen months of examples of what the president does at these briefings. He often...

An Army officer who played a high-profile role in President Trump’s impeachment proceedings is retiring from the military over alleged “bullying” and “retaliation” by the president, his lawyer said Wednesday.

Alexander Vindman, who served as a national security aide at the White House until earlier this year and was up for promotion to colonel, will leave the military instead, his lawyer, David Pressman, said in a statement. “Through a campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, the president of the United States attempted to force LTC Vindman to choose: Between adhering to the law or pleasing a President.

Eric Ciaramella, the alleged Ukraine whistleblower, was long suspected of deliberately attempting to damage President Trump's foreign policy from the inside and had access to policy information far beyond his regional expertise, according to former National Security Council officials.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something filled with the coagulating blood of one’s enemies. The Trump household apparently wasn’t content turning the White House into a dark alternate dimension where all hope dies for just one year—this house of horrors has now become an annual holiday tradition. The White House has shared an official look at First Lady Melania Trump’s latest holiday decor at the White House. Last year, Mrs. “Be Best” turned the hallways of the presidential residence into a living nightmare straight out of Get Out or Voldemort’s bathroom. Shadowy branches crept over the walls, reaching forth...

Mr. Hogg retweeted a Salon article commenting on an interview with The Washington Times in which Mr. North said of the Florida school-shooting victims such as Mr. Hogg, “They’re not activists — this is civil terrorism.” The teenager replied: “#OnTheContra you would know about terrorism, wouldn’t you?”

Former CIA director John Brennan raised eyebrows this week when he went on national television and suggested the Russians “may have something” on President Trump. Brennan, who led the CIA during the Obama administration, later conceded to The New York Times that he actually had no knowledge to back the claim. To critics, this was yet another example of increasingly hostile and partisan behavior toward Trump from the former leader of an agency that considers itself above partisanship. “For John Brennan, the most recent former CIA director, to come forward and insinuate -- on national TV -- that a sitting...

Former FBI director James Comey is formally refusing to answer questions submitted to him by a bipartisan group of senators, suggesting he no longer must do so as a private citizen. Comey sent an email from his private account last week rebuffing the seven questions that had been submitted to him by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley and the committee’s ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein after Comey’s final testimony as FBI director to the panel last month. Comey was fired by President Donald Trump shortly after his appearance. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., joined in the request...

FBI Director James Comey warned Wednesday that Americans should not have expectations of “absolute privacy,” adding that he planned to finish his term leading the FBI. “There is no such thing as absolute privacy in America; there is no place outside of judicial reach,” Comey said at a Boston College conference on cybersecurity. He made the remark as he discussed the rise of encryption since 2013 disclosures by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed sensitive US spy practices. “Even our communications with our spouses, with our clergy members, with our attorneys are not absolutely private in America,” Comey...

The mayor of San Jose criticized both sides of the political aisle following an evening of rowdy, and sometimes violent protesting, during a Donald Trump campaign stump. “There is absolutely no place for violence against people who are simply exercising their rights to participate in the political process," Mayor Sam Liccardo said Friday of the Thursday night rally, where a police officer was assaulted, a woman was egged, and others were bruised outside the San Jose Convention Center. At the same time, Liccardo also lashed out at Trump, saying in part: “It’s a sad statement about our political discourse that...

"After four years of building an audience, developing a brand and developing trust with our viewers, we were effectively and utterly silenced." The MSNBC host expressed frustration at having her regular time slot--10 a.m. to noon on Saturday and Sunday--taken...

Her name is Alyssa Rosenberg and I will not link to her wretched piece on the movie which is at the Washington Post, but in her twitter account she boasts of how her husband works for Media Matters. Why does the Washington Post allow her to write anything which is obviously so partisan? She makes no attempt to even hide it. What a partisan hack.

During an appearance at a Jon Huntsman “No Labels” event, a female audience member named Lauren Batchelder played the role of a female antagonist toward candidate Donald Trump.
