  • Texas Sen. John Cornyn: Why Do We Keep Treating Migrants Like Humans?

    Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn is known for saying insensitive, racist-y, fucked up statements. He blamed the insurrection on the Capitol on “lax security,” called then-President Trump’s second impeachment “awfully vindictive,” “completely unnecessary” and “ill-advised,” and doesn’t believe that there is systemic racism. But his comments Monday might take the cake—all of the cakes: the…

  • Menthol Cigarettes Were Aggressively Marketed to Black People. Now Congress Is Looking to Ban Them

    Kool cigarettes have undergone more makeovers than the Kardashians. Initially, they used a cartoon penguin named “Willie,” who was a chef, a soldier and a doctor. Then, in the 1960s, they kicked Willie out into the cold and tried using a country frost approach that included images of water and snow. Then in the 1970s…

    Trump’s Boo Vladimir Putin In His Feelings After Biden Calls Him a ‘Killer’

    There was a time when the president of the United States couldn’t go to sleep before kissing his shirtless photo of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. But that feels like eons ago, back when Trump would use his back channels to play “you hang up first” with the Russian president. Well, it’s a new day and…

  • We Must Protect Kamala: Man Arrested Outside Vice President Residence Had Rifle and a Lot of Ammunition

    President Joe Biden is old. Not, “I forgot my wallet in the house” old, but “I forget where the house is” old. As such America only has one hope left: Vice President Kamala Harris. Did I mention that Kamala knows the difference between the Wu-Tang Clan and Wuhan, China? She also once wore bamboo earrings and…

    Way back in 2018, when the country was under orange rule, the FBI was tasked with doing a background check on Brett Kavanaugh, who had been nominated for the Supreme Court.

    The Bachelor Proves That When It Comes to Race, America Doesn’t Know WTF It’s Doing

    I cannot say that I’m a fan of The Bachelor. I’ve never watched a full season. I couldn’t tell you who my favorite contestants are. And unless Bachelor Nation is anywhere near Wakanda or Zamunda, I can’t tell you how to get there. But when I learned that the South of television shows was going…
