Former Trump Campaign Aide Who Went Full Kanye Will Comply With Grand Jury Subpoena
Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg ran out here talking big talk. Remember? It was just a few days ago when Nunberg received a subpoena from special counselor Robert Mueller, who’s about to blow this whole Russia-Trump scandal out of the water, but Nunberg was acting like Training Day Denzel, claiming that he wasn’t fishing…

Donald Trump Be Acting Up, and Congress Be Letting Him
I want you to have this song playing in the background as you read this post. It’s important: We never have to question whether troubling news about our sitting president is going to break on a day that ends in “y” anymore. It is as inevitable as dusk and dawn at this point. It’s going…

Betsy DeVos Is the World’s Most Useless White Woman
Of course, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is not the world’s most useless white person. That title belongs to sentient-pile-of-shredded-Monopoly-money-lining-an-albino-hamster’s-cage Jared Kushner, who has somehow managed to stay dead in the center of every Trump-related scandal despite the fact that no one knows what he does or did before whatever he’s doing now, or even what he…

If Donald Trump Weren’t President, He Wouldn’t Have White House Security Clearance Either
What does it say about this administration when the majority of its top-level staff—up to and including the president himself—cannot or could not pass security-clearance background checks? Last month, CNN reported that nearly a year into Donald Trump’s presidency, at least 100 senior-level White House staffers—including Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and the now departed Rob…
