It’s me, a dog mom.

I’m tired. Relatedly, I did not have any Diet Dr. Pepper today.

Donald Trump, who speaks primarily in soundbites or non-sequiturs, has recently attached himself to a new catchphrase about immigration: the United States is “full.” “We can’t take you anymore. We can’t take you. Our country is full,” he said earlier this month while visiting the U.S.-Mexico border. He repeated the…

Scott Lloyd, whom you may remember as the anti-abortion ideologue who was so breathtaking bad at his job as head of the Office of Refugee Resettlement that he was demoted, has a new passion: writing fiction.

Elizabeth Warren, as Clio Chang recently wrote at Jezebel, is “running as a candidate who says she can see the country clearly”—and more than any other candidate, she has bold and ambitious plans to tackle the twin evils of unchecked corporate greed and government retrenchment. She has put out plans for universal…

I’m sorry to inform you of this sad news, but my friend and colleague Ashley Reese has been canceled. The time of cancelation was 10:30 a.m., Eastern Standard Time. The cause? Her highly suspect opinion on this year’s White House commemorative Easter Egg.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders doesn’t like to be called a liar. “It certainly bothers me,” she told the New York Times magazine in 2018 of her reputation as a liar. “Because one of the few things you have are your integrity and reputation,” she said, adding that “there’s a difference between misspeaking or…

Is it still Mueller Time? Why does Attorney General William Barr look like the human equivalent of a pug? Is it wine o’clock? Is it Crime Time? Am I drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper? What is time really?

The day has finally arrived—a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report is out. And while Mueller declined to bring any obstruction of justice charges against Donald Trump, despite the numerous times that he attempted to interfere with the investigation, he did write that “while this report does not…

What time will the president be instantly sent to the Hague and all of his policies reversed after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report is released?

On Monday, the former McKinsey consultant, Afghanistan combat veteran, mayor of South Bend, and now presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, who has clawed his way up early polls despite—or as is more likely, because of—his aversion to pesky things like policy details, debuted a new logo, a shiny new website, and a…

Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign and the Center for American Progress are beefing again, rehashing—in record time—one of the central tensions of the last presidential campaign. At the meaty heart of the beef: the role of powerful gate-keeping Democrats in undermining Sanders’s insurgent 2016 campaign.

During a recent red carpet interview, Cardi B, a noted lover of politics and world history, was asked by a Variety reporter who she plans on supporting in the 2020 election. Turns out Cardi B, who called on her fans to “Vote for Daddy Bernie, bitch!” the last time around, is still going with her man.

Sunday night’s premiere of Game of Thrones featured a series of reunions, some heartwarming (Jon Snow and Arya), some terrifying (Bran and basically everyone he stared at with his not-quite-human eyes). But the one reunion I was hoping would happen, even though it logistically would have made absolutely no sense in…

Since she first entered Congress, Ilhan Omar has been under attack, and her words consistently taken out of context. The latest manufactured controversy is over remarks she made in March while speaking at an event held by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, in which she spoke about the increase in anti-Muslim…

Elizabeth Warren was a registered Republican for much of her adult life—while not a secret, it’s a fact that, if one isn’t a rabid reader of political news, can be surprising. As a profile in Politico magazine makes clear, Warren’s shift from an academic who once decried the “quasi-socialist safety net to rival the…

Help, I’ve run out of Diet Dr. Pepper!

Crime time continues for Michael Avenatti, the fame hungry former attorney of Stormy Daniels, who was arrested last month over an alleged scheme to extort $20 million from the athletic company Nike. Now, a federal grand jury in Santa Ana, California has charged Avenatti with dozens of financial crimes, from fraud to…

On Wednesday, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told members of Congress that she knew rescinding Obama-era protections for trans students would harm them—but did it anyway.

Many Republican-led states are engaged in a grotesque contest to see who can pass the most restrictive anti-abortion legislation, often with the goal of getting a hearing before the Supreme Court. Will it be Ohio, which on Wednesday passed a “heartbeat bill” that will now go to the governor’s desk, or Mississippi and…
