What you’re not going to do is tell Iraq War vet and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) what is and isn’t treason.

Welp, the president sure is in his feelings today.

I don’t know why the orange man in office is this way, but shortly after the president’s first State of the Union address, the fat man with the permanent blond baby hair took to Twitter to claim that his address, which was watched by some 45.6 million viewers, was the most watched in history.

I was on a flight from Washington, D.C., to Pittsburgh during the State of the Union, so I missed the entire thing. Actually, “missed,” in this context, is somewhat misleading. Because even if I had been able to watch it, I probably wouldn’t have. Because the absurd theater of what happens when President Donald Trump…

People everywhere are praising Donald Trump’s mediocre, uninspiring State of the Union address simply because it was not terrible, which is akin to a woman telling a man who suffers from micropenis, “It’s not the size of the boat ... ”

I just finished watching Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address. And to quote former President George W. Bush, “That was some weird shit.” Seriously, that was the absolute worst, most disturbing speech I have ever heard by a major American politician, and I’ve seen Sarah Palin speak live ... twice.

As you watch Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address, there will be parts that will likely confuse you. To help you have an optimal SOTU experience, The Root has compiled a list of words and phrases that may give you a better understanding of Tuesday night’s speech. Feel free to use this handy guide as a point…

It’s that time of year again. What time of year, you ask? The time of year when President Racist von WallBuilder reads his prepared speech from a teleprompter, and a roomful of fat, rich white guys and affluent white women applaud as if the world were crafted from his tiny hands. This is also the time when people of…

If you’re like me, it’s hard to watch a man who looks like a microwaved circus peanut stand in front of a microphone and string together lies for an hour. It has been a decade since we last heard a white State of the Union, so you’re probably going to need something to help you get through the pimp Don “Magic” Con’s…

It’s only President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address, so what could go wrong? Well, the tickets, for one. The bumbling Beverly Hillbillies administration couldn’t even get the damn tickets correct to his inaugural address because I’m convinced that no one in the administration is at grade level.

I met Angela Rye on Nov. 7, 2012. I was part of a group that put together an election night party at the Washington Post headquarters building in Washington, D.C., so we could all (hopefully) watch President Barack Obama be re-elected.

On Sept. 3, 1944, 24-year-old Recy Taylor and two friends were on their way home from a late-night church service in Abbeville, Ala., when a group of white men abducted and raped her. Taylor refused to stay silent about the assault. Two grand juries refused to bring charges against her attackers. Taylor, who died at…

White House policy adviser Stephen Miller has been trash most of his life. In high school, Miller ran for student government as an outspoken conservative who prided himself as someone “who will say and do things that no one else in their right mind will say or do.”

Last night, President Barack Obama began the farewell tour of his presidency with his final State of the Union address. It's already been established that he's shrouded in a cloak of no fucks; his fuck-drained cape flapping in the wind as he breezes past for one final lap. And, by virtue of being the first — and…

Tonight will be President Obama’s final State Of The Union address, a culmination of eight years of the most powerful* man in America (and arguably the world) being a Black man from Hawaii.
