Most of us have experienced the sinking feeling that comes with looking at the clock after a fantastic time with friends at your favorite bar, and realizing you're just 10 minutes away from closing time. It might take a second, but eventually the…

The mystery into just what degree of planning and coordination took place in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 attempted coup at the United States Capitol deepened this week, with law enforcement officials reportedly looking into whether a recent…

There's been a lot of ink spilled (or keyboards clicked, or whatever cliched metaphor you wanna go with) lately about first daughter and super-duper-serious White House employee Ivanka Trump's desire to salvage what's left of her understandably…

A broken clock is right twice a day. That's how the saying goes, right? It is in that spirit that I'm thrilled to report that unctuous Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham had a great idea. Don't get me wrong, Graham's epiphany wasn't intentionally…

Despite the best efforts of some of the Republican Party's brightest stars, on Wednesday, Donald Trump became the first president in American history to be impeached twice. And just one week after Trump incited a coup attempt on the Capitol building…

It seems, at this point, a foregone conclusion that at some point on Wednesday, Donald Trump will officially become the first president in United States history to be impeached twice in a single term. Whether the Senate will actually vote to convict…

It's been a tough week. By all indications, the next one is going to be pretty rough as well. With that in mind, I encourage you to sit back, get comfortable, and watch this video of Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham being heckled to hell by a group of…

These are scary times, what with President Trump's attempted terrorist coup in Washington, D.C., and the tacit (and sometimes enthusiastic) approval thereof by an alarmingly large portion of the GOP. That there are already rumblings of a second…

Here we are in the waning days if the Trump administration, a nation reeling from a pre-planned insurrection attempt encouraged by the president himself. At least five people are dead as a result, including a Capitol Hill police officer who was…

Death and taxes. Those are supposed to be the two constants in life, right? But if Wednesday's attempted coup against Congress by a mob of insurrectionists inspired by President Trump has shown us anything, it's that there's a third universal truism…

At the time I'm writing this, we're less than 24 hours out from President Donald Trump's brazen coup attempt, in which he incited and encouraged his most fervent supporters to storm the United States Capitol in a blatant attempt to hand him a second…

Hard as it may be to believe, it's barely been a year since President Trump was impeached by the United States House of Representatives. Now, as the violent putsch he gleefully initiated rolls across the nation's capital, Trump is once again facing…

Nearly 200 years after racist, reactionary populist President Andrew Jackson earned the nickname "King Mob" after hoards of supporters massed in his home to celebrate his 1829 inauguration, a different racist, reactionary populist president has…

When President Trump took the stage at Wednesday's "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, D.C., he was 45 minutes late and immediately beset by technical troubles that left the crowd of mask-less racists, conspiracy theorists, and street brawlers…

In what are likely the most consequential Senate races of the current century, Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock appear to have toppled incumbent Georgia Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, respectively, in Georgia's runoff elections.…
