The Root 100 No. 1s: Ta-Nehisi Coates Wanted to Be ‘the Baddest Motherfucking Writer on the Planet’
It is a rare piece of long-form journalism that breaks the internet. But that’s exactly what happened when Ta-Nehisi Coates’ keen, decisive reportage, “The Case for Reparations,” dropped in June 2014, compelling the editors at The Root to give him that year’s No. 1 spot. Part of his The Root 100 bio read: Two years…

Will New Chief of Staff John Kelly Be the Next Contestant Fired on White House Apprentice?
Previously on White House Apprentice, Anthony Scaramucci’s storyline was getting all the headlines and camera time. In the weird Big Brother-Survivor-Apprentice interpolation that is Donald Trump’s administration, there is only room for one star in front of the camera—your megalomaniac president—so Scaramucci Mane was kicked out of the house.

Where are your president’s handlers when he needs them? Does he even have handlers? Is there anyone in the White House in charge of making sure he doesn’t say stupid stuff to the media he is so critical of? Apparently not, because this latest thing is a doozy. In an interview with the New York…

Trump Implies That He Wants Robert Mueller Gone and Lied About the Comey Tapes to Keep the Ex-FBI Director Honest
This fidget-spinner-ass administrator can’t stop spinning the truth. President Molten Lava Face had one of his friends from Fake News Fox News over to the White House to feather him with only the softest of questions, but from that interview—which was shot Thursday and aired Friday morning—I was able to ascertain two things: Special counsel…

Trump: There Are No Comey Tapes Because I’m a Liar (OK, He Didn’t Say the Liar Part)
I told y’all there weren’t any Trump-Comey tapes, but I refuse to take a victory lap for this one because anyone with a ninth-grade education and cable television in their home knew that there weren’t any tapes of the conversations between the former FBI director and the president. On Thursday the president used Twitter, as…

Possible R&B Supergroup: Vladimir Putin, Edward Snowden and Ex-FBI Head James Comey
Groups break up and form new groups all the time. LeVert disbanded, only for lead singer Gerald Levert to join up with Johnny Gill and Keith Sweat to form LSG. New Edition broke up, and members Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe and Ricky Bell reformed into the great BBD. So is a possible Vladimir Putin, Edward…

Republicans to Trump: Cut the Act and Release the Comey Tapes if You Have Them
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. If he has them, then they want him to give them to Congress. If he doesn’t provide the recorded tapes—tapes that no one is sure he even has—he could…
