  • The COVFEFE Act: Lawmaker Introduces Bill to Record Trump Tweets

    An Illinois congressman wants to make the president’s tweets part of the presidential record and prevent Twitter Fingas from deleting tweets.

  • How Trump’s Cabinet Meeting Devolved Into a Mob Movie

    It was supposed to be a simple photo opportunity where President Donald Trump tries not to look like an evil tyrant as his all-white Cabinet (don’t worry; we see you, Ben Carson!) sits around the president, but of course this moment involved Trump, which means it got really weird really fast.

    Republicans are also getting tired of the president playing coy about whether he has recorded tapes of his private conversations with former FBI Director James Comey.

President Donald Trump is the first president to be caught on tape saying he grabs women “by the pussy.” I see why they love each other. This weekend, Trump’s wife stopped costing…
