“Please stop covering the crazy stuff out Trump’s mouth (sic). The nightmare is over. Please #CNN, #NBC, #CBS, #ABC.” That’s just one of probably thousands of similar tweets in recent months imploring the media to just ignore the former president and, to invoke a Bush-era mantra, move on. I’m here...

After facing weeks of pressure from Republicans and Democrats, the Biden administration finally released photos and videos from inside two Texas detention centers where unaccompanied children are being held. An ABC News report of the government-sanctioned video describes the conditions as “crowded but orderly,” and boasts of shelves “stocked with...

The case against Andrew Cuomo just keeps getting worse. There are now seven women who have accused him of sexual harassment or inappropriate touching. According to an attorney for one of his accusers, there are more to come. New York lawmakers, including both U.S. senators, have called for him to...

I’ve never been much of a royal watcher. From the horrible tragedies to the fantastical weddings, it was all a saga I hadn’t spent much time studying. I’ve been told by more than one person that I must watch “The Crown” to get the gist. So when I tuned in...

If you were surprised to learn there are scores of secret diners dotting the American heartland, where teachers and construction workers sit down to have regular-Joe conversations over bacon and eggs about the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states,...

It’s that time of year again. This week, CPAC — the Conservative Political Action Conference founded in 1974 — will lay siege to Orlando instead of Washington, D.C., amid a global pandemic that has, as of this week, taken a staggering 500,000 American lives. Hopes of mask-wearing and social distancing...

“Nothing matters.” It’s a popular and versatile phrase that can be reassuring, a reminder that despite how overwhelmed you feel, nothing matters so go ahead and enjoy that fourth doughnut. It also can be discouraging, lamenting the feeling that while a precious few are attempting to keep order, the great...

The fact that President Trump wasn’t convicted doesn’t mean the impeachment trial in the Senate was unimportant. In fact, it was absolutely crucial. Here are five reasons why. Accountability. What happened in the wake of the November elections was likely a crime. The president of the United States and his...

Last Monday night, nearly a month after Trump-supporting insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol looking to overturn a democratic election and, in some cases, kill U.S. lawmakers, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram Live to share her harrowing account of that day. Traumatized not only by the close encounter...

Five years ago, after teasing a potential run for the White House for years, Donald Trump descended down a golden escalator, and from that moment on, the news cycle was predominantly his. Trump hijacked our collective attention span and held it hostage for the duration of his presidency, subjecting Americans...

Donald Trump has joined a kind of losers club, becoming one of only five presidents since 1900 to fail in his reelection bid. Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, whatever we think of their presidencies now, were all given the boot by voters who said, erm...

Among the many atrocities Donald Trump heaped upon the United States in four short years, — a grotesque child separation policy that’s orphaned more than 600 kids, an increase in white supremacist and anti-Semitic threats and attacks, an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that left five dead — one is...

What a year. Thankfully one of the weirdest and wildest in modern history is drawing to a close, bringing a new sense of optimism about the coming year. Or so I thought. Every year, I solicit New Year’s resolutions from friends, colleagues and newsmakers. This year, I expected big things:...

Finally, we can say it: 2020 is almost over. Good riddance. As we look to finally bring a close to this annus horribilis, America will be living amid the detritus for years — a devastating economic downturn, a generation of students behind in education, the collective psychic trauma of prolonged...

“Burn in Hell.” “Get murdered.” “We’re coming for you.” Those are just some of the messages that 69-year-old grandmother and retired teacher Joyce Warshaw received. That’s all because, as mayor of Dodge City, Kan. — a city of just over 27,000 steeped in Wild West frontier history — she eventually...

As famous a phrase as it is, it’s unlikely that some fastidious but oblivious boatswain actually spent any time rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic as it was sinking to a watery grave in 1912. But the idea has come to illustrate an utterly pointless, wasteful and insignificant endeavor...

It has long been a fashionable and celebrated pastime in Republican circles to mock Hollywood celebrities for their elitist, superficial and often silly proclivities, their inability to relate to average Americans and the belief that rules don’t apply to them. Hollywood is in fact a reviled category of people for...

President-elect Joe Biden has begun to piece together his Cabinet, and the early announcements reveal an administration that prizes diversity and familiarity, but more vitally, experience over blind loyalty. Needless to say, that is very refreshing and reassuring. My blood pressure already has begun to drop. The last four years...

Much has been written about the art, ethics and prudence of revenge. It’s possible Jerry Seinfeld put it best. In an episode aptly titled “The Revenge,” Seinfeld tells George Costanza, “The best revenge is living well.” To which George dismissively scoffs, “There’s no chance of that.” The topic of revenge...

The front page of The New York Times on Nov. 11 probably hit him hard: “Election Officials Nationwide Find No Fraud.” This one, in the formerly friendly New York Post, probably hit him even harder: “Biden’s popular vote lead over Trump grows to more than 5 million.” By all accounts,...

The last election in 2016 feels simultaneously like it was yesterday and 100 years ago. Weren’t we just here eyeing polls that told us Donald Trump was certain to lose? As we look to the election and what the next four years could bring with our vote for president, it’s...

He meant it as a threat. At a Nevada rally earlier this month, President Trump promised his supporters that if former Vice President Joe Biden is elected, “he’ll listen to the scientists.” It says a lot that Trump believed — and is likely correct — that his followers would disapprove...

After the Senate’s hearing to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the timing of her nomination — just a week and a day after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and weeks before a presidential election — has enraged Democrats in Congress and many Democratic voters....

Ask any heterosexual woman and she’ll tell you she has dated at least one loser at some point. If we’re paying attention, we learn to pick up on cues that help us avoid making the same mistake again, like the guy who yells at Uber drivers or the one who...

“Trump’s likely RBG replacement, Amy Coney Barrett, is a Catholic extremist with seven children who does not believe employers should be required to provide healthcare coverage for birth control. She wants the rest of American women to be stuck with her extreme lifestyle.” That’s a now-deleted tweet from a documentary...
