More than 150 people are dead after an Ethiopian Airlines flight en route to Nairobi crashed on Sunday, according to multiple reports. The incident happened less than six minutes after the Boeing 737 Max-8 took off from the country’s capital, Addis Ababa. Also, the pilot “reported difficulties” with the plane and requested to return to Addis Ababa […]

Beto O’Rourke’s indecision surrounding a 2020 presidential run has been the subject of mass scrutiny since his ascent to political stardom last November. The former U.S. representative garnered substantial political capital when he almost defeated Ted Cruz in the 2018 midterms and a fan base that transcended the borders of his home state of Texas. Although O’Rourke has […]

Roy Moore is considering another run for an Alabama Senate seat in 2020. The Republican judge, whose 2017 campaign for Senate was downed by allegations of sexual misconduct with minors, said that he’s mulling another run at the legislature while appearing on the conservative radio show Focal Point.  Moore echoed the idea that the seat was […]

The media landscape has dramatically changed since the election of Donald Trump. Aptly termed the Fourth Estate, the press has been tasked with covering an unconventional presidency during a time of heightened political polarization, to varying degrees of success. Thus, when Trevor Noah signed on to fill the shoes of former Daily Show host Jon Stewart in 2015, […]

A former Florida cop used his police database to meet women, the New York Daily News reports. Leonel Marines, 36, used the database at his Florida police station as a dating platform. By the time he was found out, he had gone on dates and had sex with almost 150 women in at least six […]

Self-admitted pussy grabber Donald Trump is now using his hands to sign Bibles. On Friday, POTUS arrived in Alabama to survey the devastation caused by deadly tornadoes. As part of his tour, Trump stopped by Providence Baptist Church in Lee County, where he met with first responders as well as residents who were impacted by the storm. […]

Paul Manafort caught a lucky break Thursday. The former Trump campaign chief was sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison after being convicted of tax and bank fraud. The 69-year-old was originally facing 19 to 24 years behind bars; however, Judge T.S. Ellis said such a punishment would be “excessive,” as Manafort “has lived an otherwise blameless life.”  “Let me […]

Walmart is locked in damage control mode. The retail giant recently announced it will officially phase out its “People Greeter” position beginning next month—a move that has garnered criticism among workers, customers, and disability rights advocates. If you’ve ever stepped foot inside a Walmart, it’s likely you’ve interacted with one of these greeters. They’re posted near the store’s entrance, […]

During his longwinded, two-hour speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Donald Trump trailed off several times. The president covered the criticisms he must have known would tickle his Republican audience; the alleged illegitimacy of the Russia investigation, a taunting impersonation of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. However, Trump also used the performance to accuse Hollywood and the […]

Marc Ecko’s impact is woven throughout pop culture, and now he’s using that influence to spark important conversations about education. Ecko’s clothing line, Eckō Unlimited, founded in 1993 and emblematic of ‘90s/early aughts culture, incorporated hip-hop and skater styles, and soon became universally recognizable by its rhino logo. Ecko soon went on to expand the brand, […]
