Trump’s family separation policy is already an ugly stain on this country, but we’re still learning the full extent of its horror. This week, news broke that nearly a thousand children were unlawfully detained for more than three days — often in cages with no beds or showers — and that Trump’s Border Patrol failed to keep track of children who were too young to have learned to...
GOP cuts off another House incumbent in deep red state
In the past few weeks, Republicans have cut off funding for several incumbent House members in tough races, effectively waving a white flag at the impending blue wave. On Sunday, The Hill reported that the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) has canceled a nearly $1 million ad buy in support of Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS), who won re-election in 2016 by double digits. Democratic challenger...
Trump undermines Kavanaugh by saying he had ‘difficulty’ with drinking
Despite Brett Kavanaugh’s defensive denials of allegations surrounding his high school drinking during last week’s Senate testimony, Trump took away something substantially different — that Kavanaugh had some serious issues with alcohol. After a Rose Garden photo op Monday morning, CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked Trump if lying about drinking would disqualify Kavanaugh from...
Sarah Sanders actually called Kavanaugh’s angry rants ‘heartbreaking’
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony this week was so compelling that even Trump had to admit she was “very credible.” But Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders shut down any notion that the White House actually believes Ford, and claimed that Brett Kavanaugh’s unhinged, belligerent testimony was “equally heartbreaking.” On this week’s edition of...
Graham: Investigate Senate Democrats, not Kavanaugh’s possible perjury
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who has been a steadfast attack dog for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, said he doesn’t think the FBI should investigate whether Kavanaugh lied under oath — and that Senate Democrats are the ones who should be investigated instead. On Sunday morning’s edition of “This Week,” host George Stephanopoulos asked Graham about reports that the...
Trump says he and Kim Jong Un ‘fell in love’
Trump’s admiration for murderous dictators is well-known — but he took that to a shocking new level Saturday night when he told a rally crowd that he and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un “fell in love” with each other. At a so-called “Make America Great Again” rally in Wheeling, West Virginia, Trump devoted a portion of his speech to bragging about his diplomacy...
Kavanaugh’s high school calendar fails to exonerate him
Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s attorneys have released his personal calendars from the summer of 1982, which they said would help refute the allegations that he sexually assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford at a party that summer. The New York Times reports that Kavanaugh’s attorneys claim the calendars help Kavanaugh because they “do not show a party consistent...
Kavanaugh classmates shred his choir boy act: ‘He’s gone too far’
Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh presented a squeaky-clean image of his school years during a recent Fox News interview, but former classmates are coming forward to say he’s not telling the truth. Amid mounting accusations of sexual misconduct, Kavanaugh sat for an interview Monday night with Fox host Martha MacCallum, where he denied ever drinking heavily enough in high school...
Devin Nunes thinks Trump is part of a conspiracy — against Trump
Devin Nunes has never allowed the truth to stand in the way of his quest to undermine the FBI’s Russia investigation — but Nunes outdid himself this week by claiming that the “deep state” conspiracy against Trump has somehow also enlisted Trump himself. During an interview on Monday, radio host Trevor Carey asked Nunes why a cache of documents that Trump ordered declassified and...
Kavanaugh can’t explain why FBI shouldn’t investigate allegations
Trump has blocked an FBI investigation into allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh tried to rape a girl when they were both in high school, but Kavanaugh himself can’t explain why such a probe should not be undertaken. On Monday night, Kavanaugh sat for a softball interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, but even in that friendly setting, he couldn’t answer an...
