You’d be forgiven for naively treating 2021 like a magic button that made the MAGA cult disappear from the news cycle. If the first week of the new year is any indication, and it most likely is, we are going to be stuck with them—in some form or another—for a very long time. On Tuesday, […]
Even though Trump has called for $2,000 stimulus checks for Americans, House Democrats’ move to pass the direct payments was blocked by Republicans—impacting the huge coronavirus relief package that Congress passed earlier this week. CNBC reports that Democrats attempted to increase the check amounts after Trump warned that he’d obstruct the $2 trillion pandemic aid and […]
There’s bad news for anyone out there who thought Joe Biden‘s presidential victory would usher in an era of normalcy and bipartisan compromise.

Trump‘s reported COVID-19 diagnosis was “inevitable” given his general disregard for pandemic-appropriate behavior, one would be hard-pressed to approach anything nearing shock regarding the failed steak salesman’s current situation.

Sean Conley, a guy roundly referred to in the press as the “White House physician,” arguably only added further confusion to the chain of events leading up to Trump claiming a COVID-19 diagnosis during a presser on Saturday.

Kodak Black, who was said earlier this week to be involved in a lawsuit against the Federal Bureau of Prisons over alleged abuse and religious suppression, is now—at least according to the latest report—asking for Trump to commute his prison sentence. In a TMZ-obtained petition sent to Trump by attorneys Bradford Cohen and Jonathan Schwartz, the […]
This week a jump in reported COVID-19 related deaths, thanks to new data, revealed the severity of Texas’ crisis as one of the nation’s coronavirus hotspots. That data also illustrated the wide discrepancy in deaths by race, with Hispanic residents disproportionately representing 47 percent of the state’s fatalities. Hispanic Texans make up only 40 percent of the overall […]
The following assembly of information includes videos that may induce severe cringe. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. On Friday, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to promote the nearly two-month-old #MAGAChallenge, in which amateur rappers share their best pro-Trump bars on social media.
