  • 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…

    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.
