Reminding us all once again that vaccines are only effective among a population that’s willing to do the right thing, Dr. Fauci is warning that hopes for COVID-19 herd immunity are dashed if too many people remain opposed to basic science. Speaking with CNN over the weekend, Dr. Fauci—director of the National Institute of Allergy […]
The political rhetoric coming from President Donald Trump seems to create an environment where hatred and bigotry can thrive. Unfortunately, the President doesn’t actively combat this notion. In fact, he promotes it. On Sunday morning, President Trump quoted tweeted a protest happening in Florida‘s Sumter County retirement community, The Villages. In the video, Democratic senior citizens were holding signs […]
Did Donald Trump prioritize favorable optics over public health? It’s definitely believable. According to a recent Washington Post report, the president’s campaign not only failed to enforce social distancing at last week’s Tulsa rally, it also took steps to thwart them. The outlet reports that hours before Trump took the stage, workers at the BOK Center in Tulsa had labeled thousands of arena seats with […]
As a confounding number of Americans continue to behave as if COVID-19 isn’t real, the country has now broken its own record of daily cases. The U.S. bagged a record number of new coronavirus cases in a single day—45,557—on Wednesday, per an NBC News tally of new diagnoses. This tops the previous record for highest […]
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is the subject of a new Department of Justice indictment. Though the superseding indictment doesn’t contain any additional charges other than the 18 the DOJ unsealed in 2019, prosecutors argue that it “broadens the scope” of alleged efforts by Assange to gather and release classified information.

Attempting to stack up political confidence ahead of an election by touting polls is, as recent history has made quite clear, not a good idea. Still, it’s hard not to at least pay a bit of attention to a fresh poll from the New York Times and Sienna College in which Joe Biden takes 50 percent and […]
On Wednesday, a federal appeals court ordered the dismissal of the case against Donald Trump’s ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn. The Associated Press reports that the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said that the Justice Department’s decision to drop charges against Flynn on May 7 concludes the case, despite Flynn having previously pleaded […]
The exhaustingly long history of art-averse political figures missing the point of musical expression entirely continues in 2020 with the Trump campaign’s use of the Panic! at the Disco hit “High Hopes.” In case you missed it, and hopefully you did, the Trump team used the 2018 Pray for the Wicked single at a recent gathering of dumbfucks […]
Donald Trump took to his usual bully pulpit of Twitter on Tuesday, threatening anyone who tries vandalizes or destroys a monument or statue with up to 10 years in prison. People were quick to point out the hypocrisy in Trump placing more of an importance on the well-being of a statue than American lives. The threat came as a direct response […]
It appears that Donald Trump really asked his administration to slow down coronavirus testing, contradicting senior White House officials who have argued that Trump’s comments were made facetiously. During Saturday’s infamous campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trump said, “When you do testing to that extent you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find […]
