Madame Speaker, we’re waiting. Over the weekend, President Trump did what he should have done four weeks ago and issued a televised announcement to offer a concession for his wall. In exchange for $5.7 billion in border security funding — mind you, the whole wall will likely cost five times that — the president is prepared to issue three years of legal protections for DACA recipients and Temporary Protected Status…

When a video went viral that supposedly showed white high school students wearing pro-Trump hats getting in the face of an elderly Native American activist, many online compared the teenagers to everything from Nazis to the Ku Klux Klan.

When a longer video emerged later showing a fuller context that largely exonerated the students from what they…

After Jason Leopold and Anthony Cormier dropped a questionably sourced article charging President Trump with directing his personal attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow project, the news cycle centered on examining the credibility of the piece. If special counsel Robert Mueller’s response is indeed accurate, then the BuzzFeed piece was yet another sham, and at least one anonymous source burned Cormier and Leopold, who…

With nearly two years to go, almost anything in the realm of the 2020 presidential election could change from now until Election Day. The one thing that won’t, however, is math. Any Democrat seeking to unseat President Trump will have to achieve at least one of the following: mobilize the base to achieve Obama-level turnout and enthuse the Left, or successfully splinter off ideological agnostics and the suburbs that defected…

“There weren’t a lot of them, but there were conversations,” said Giuliani, who is an attorney for Trump. “Can’t be sure the exact date. … Probably up to ― could be up to as far as October, November.”

“Here in this city, we’re going to lead the way. We’re going to show what can be done,” de Blasio declared. “We’re going to show that working people will get the wages they deserve, the benefits they deserve, the life they deserve.”

Columbia, S.C. – On the steps of the South Carolina State Capitol, Senators Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders on Monday joined local leaders of the state NAACP chapter and called for an end to racial injustice.

A victim from perhaps the single most oppressed class in American history, a Native American. A villain from its most privileged, a white male. And most damning, that incorrigible and unrelenting smile. But as it turns out, hundreds of thousands or even millions of retweets of an encounter following the…
