“Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.” Michelle Obama fought hard for the health of American children. Now the Trump administration is set to destroy all of her hard work. Children’s health be damned. One of Michelle Obama’s great accomplishments was her healthy school lunches program. And our children are healthier […]

The Trump administration just offered the Democrats a deal to save funding for Obamacare that is almost too asinine to believe. Trump’s Management and Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, just tried to make an unbelievable bullshit deal with Congressional Democrats to avoid a government shut-down next week. Mulvaney told the Dems that Trump was willing to […]

This is not how we do things in America. It is how things are done in dictatorships. Clearly, Trump doesn’t understand or care about the difference. The Department of Homeland Security has been trying to unmask the identities of the people behind an anonymous Twitter account that has been critical of Donald Trump. In March, […]

Sean Spicer is so desperate to stop the leaks coming from his staff that he’s now demanding cell phones. Press Secretary Sean Spicer is desperately trying to find leakers in the West Wing. So desperate, in fact, that he’s now doing random phone checks of White House staffers, with the assistance of White House […]

Republicans are starting to break from the ranks. And this is a big one. Darrell Issa is now calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. Until now, the Republicans have been fairly united behind Donald Trump. Most of them have been content to agree with the President that the Russia story […]

After receiving a lot of negative backlash about this, officials now say that no plans are imminent. But, at this point, it’s hard to believe much of anything that comes out of this White House. The Associated Press is reporting on Friday that they have obtained a White House draft memo proposing using 100,000 National […]

Trump wants women who work in his administration to “dress like women.” Well, turns out women have a few things to say about this. On Thursday a spokesperson for Trump told Axios that “Trump likes the women who work for him ‘to dress like women.’” And because of this many women are feeling pressured to wear […]

“If people realize they are being played, though, they can reach across old lines and reorganize to challenge the leaders who are pulling the strings.” As we all struggle to make sense of the chaos the Trump administration is creating, it’s worth noting that this insanity may be quite intentional. Heather Richardson is an American […]

We are quickly learning that with enough pressure the Trump administration will back down. It’s safe to say that Trump’s first week in office was an absolute train wreck. But even with all of the horrible things he did this week, there were still some victories for the anti-Trumpers. And what we’ve learned this week […]
